    Posted: 21 March 2012 at 6:05pm
I am half way my pregnancy and decided to give birth at the hospital just in case something doesn't go according to plan.
In my town we don't have the adequate facilities what means I'll have to travel to Invercargill to give birth.
My midwive gave me a list with names to choose from but I'm not feeling 100% confident to pick one without knowing other mums who have their babies delivered by them.
Any suggestions please? In my list are Bernie Archer, Jane Pleasance, Angela Shuttleworth, Billy-Jean McMamas and Julie Mass
So far I found info on who not to go with.....

Hi :)

I'm in the same situation as you - and was with my last baby too -

I drove down to invercargill while i was in labour and my queenstown midwife organised Sarah Barrett (southland storks)to meet me. She was A.Mazing! I highly recommend her shes wonderful!

I went to invercargill because i wanted to be where all the drugs were but she ended up getting me through it drug free. Result!

Good luck with your decision x

Hi ChikkyD
Thank you for the hands up. Have you met Sarah before or you just met her at the day of you baby's birth?
Cheers

I met her they day I gave birth, was just lucky she was so fabulous x

Although if you are only halfway through there is still plenty of time to head down to invercargill and meet up with a midwife

I recommend Kathy Harrington (although she is not on your list).  Ange Shuttleworth and Julie Moss are also well recommended.  (Ange takes the local antenatal course at the Parents Centre).
