Hi
Any recommendations for a midwive in Pukekohe? Don't really want to ask friends as it's early days yet and we're only telling family, so any feedback would be great. |

To be honest, we were so unhappy with the level of care in Puke/Drury area we go to birthcare parnell and see the birthcare midwifes.
Anyway hope you find someone nice and who is on the same wavelength (we are really natural) Good luck with your pregnancy!!!! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Hi I live in Waiuku and my midwife is Cathi Wintle, she is FANTASTIC, she was my MW with my son aswell, and I have put all my friends onto her.
She does a clinic from puke maternity hospital and from her home in waiuku, so you can go to where ever is easiest for you. If you would like her number give me a PM and il give it to you  ------------- |

Like Sheza I go to see Cathi Wintle, I think she's fantastic too
I have been told by several people that Carol Hedgeman is good also ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

| I had Danielle North who was absolutely brilliant, couldnt recommend her more, she has quite a natural approach also but is flexible for your needs |

There is also Annette Norris who is cathi's backup and vise versa. I ended up having annett as my midwife during my labour as cathi was sick But she was great aswell. Cathi cared for me and caden right through the pregnancy and afterwards.------------- |

I LOVED my midwife I had Ruth Davison. She specialises in waterbirth particularly home waterbirth if that interests you.
The facilities at Pukekohe Maternity looked pretty awesome although I never used them for labour myself I originally was going to have Cathi Wintle but she referred me to Ruth as she thought Ruth would be a better midwife for me. I also had Meredith & Janine as backup midwives and I was really happy with them Actually the whole team there was great, Wendy is another midwife there although she mainly helps out with the visiting OB------------- Mum to Alex (11), Blaire (10) & Erika (8) and Damien (6) Successful HWB VBA2Cs!
