Thanks so much. It is all very confusing. I live in Te Atatu but would prefer to give birth at Auckland if possible. Now just need to find a good midwife!]]> Thu, 04 Jul 2013 19:46:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43424&PID=5841169&title=where-can-you-give-birth-in-auckland#5841169 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43424&PID=5841109&title=where-can-you-give-birth-in-auckland#5841109 Author: MandzG

Hi Robyn. I live in west akl too and am currently booked in to delivery at Waitakere, Auckland & Birth Care (plan is for Birth Care all going well). I think it does depend on the midwife though as Mrs Mac saidx.]]> Thu, 04 Jul 2013 13:13:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43424&PID=5841109&title=where-can-you-give-birth-in-auckland#5841109 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43424&PID=5841075&title=where-can-you-give-birth-in-auckland#5841075 Author: Mrs Mac

Hi Robyn, congratulations!

It depends on whether you go with an independent midwife or a hospital/birthcentre group. If you go with a hospital/birthcentre group they can only deliver at that hospital or birthcentre. If you go with an independent midwife they can be registered to deliver at a few different places.

When I was looking for a midwife I called the birth centre I wanted to deliver at (closest to my house, and I'd heard good things about them) and asked them for a list of the midwives who deliver there. I called a couple and asked if they were also registered to deliver at the local hospital so if I had to transfer my midwife could come with me.

Hope this helps!]]> Thu, 04 Jul 2013 10:48:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43424&PID=5841075&title=where-can-you-give-birth-in-auckland#5841075 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=43424&PID=5841009&title=where-can-you-give-birth-in-auckland#5841009 Author: RobynF114275

Hi Everyone,

I am so confused! I am 7 weeks pregnant and I live in west Auckland.
Does the hospital i give birth at depend on where i live or where my midwife can deliver?

I.e. If I get a midwife who delivers at Auckland Hospital does that mean I can go there. Or do i have to give birth at Waitakere?

Thanks so much for your help!!!
