MW in St Heliers - any recommendations?

I hope I've posted in the right place ...

Wondering if anyone out there can recommend a MW based in / around St Heliers in Auckland?

Hey there - there's one MW that I think is based in Glen Innes that has been used by a few of the girls on here and they speak highly of her. Unfortunately all the ones I'm thinking of who have used her aren't pregnant anymore so they probably won't see this thread.

You may want to put this question in the first baby, second or more section as well.

Thanks guys - I have Yvonne's name in the imfo back the Dr gave me. Isn't easy knowing where to start, but great to have a name!

I was actually given a name of another lady who I phoned earlier today. I told her my due date and asked if she would mind me popping in to see her. She was rather short and told me that she didn't have time to see me or to answers any of my questions. She said that everyone who came to her had been recommended so no need to spend time answering my questions

I got off the phone and was a bit miffed. Every says to take the time to find a mw you get on with but if every mw is going to respond with those sorts of answers I'm wondering how you go about picking.

Fingers crossed the next call will be a little better

I'd ring Yvonne and say she came recommended by a few people on here. I'm sure that will get you in her good graces

Hi Pants,

I've been told to call these guys:

Apparently you tell them what you want in a midwife and they find one for you. It's a free service as well. I haven't called them yet, but I'm having my acupuncture in the same building tomorrow morning so I'll call in and see them then.

Those guys must get a lot of business from OB gals. ;) I wound up with Hilary, as my initial MW couldn't do my revised EDD - she was great and the setup they have there means someone's always available. And yes, Yvonne's a sweetie. :)

Noooo!

Youll never get one, they book up super quickly.

He he, yep, I'm famous

Yvonne delivered all four of my girls, including both gremlins, and she is brilliant. I wouldn't want anyone else to deliver my babies

SimSam, Lisa @ Acudoc does my acupuncture. She's lovely.

Thanks everyone - I called Pregnancy Midwives yesterday and spoke to Yvonne. She was so nice, made me feel really comfortable and seems to have a good idea of how was feeling having just found out about being pregnant for the first time.

I have an appointment with her when I get to 8 weeks, will get bloods etc done then.

Yah, feeling good about Yvonne - there has been so much good feedback about her

Thanks everyone
