National Womans-Auckland

Unless your having a cs .. you dont stay at the hospital, you transfer out, however if you are having a cs, you usually have your own room and the food is reasonable and you can stay up to five nights (all going well) .. you can transfer to birthcare when you are feeling better, and they have nicer food apparently, but the rooms are shared unless you pay for a private one.

If your having a vb the birthing rooms are nice enough .. some even have glorious views, although you may be a tad too busy to notice.

I actually thought the food was plenty .. and there is a kitchen on the ward that they stock with bread and toppings should you get peckish and want toast however if you cant move the kitchen part isnt that helpful as you would still need to call for a nurse or someone to go make it for you.

Ahh yes, i forgot that the high risk babies stay on .. that ward was shared .. the cs ward had single rooms (and mine overlooked the domain, hence the reason I didnt transfer to birthcare)
