Giving birth in NZ - what are my options?

[Artechim]

I was in Australia for a few years but moved back to NZ when my first was a baby. I have been back for 7 years now and had my other two babies here.

Try to get out and meet people before and after bub is born so you have a bit of support and company.

Hey Artechim, just letting you know I've found a MW and she seems to be sorting everything out for me (thank goodness!). I really like the system here, seems much better than in Adelaide where I would've most likely gotten a different MW at the hospital for every visit!

One of the MW groups has a coffee morning once a month, I'll aim to go to their next one (next week I think!) - will be good to meet some other mums and mums-to-be! Thanks for all your advice x

It is a fantastic system here I hope the move went smoothly for you. Good luck with the pre-natal group, it would be great for you to meet some people so you have a network going by the time baby arrives.

I am sure you are thrilled with the fabulous weather you have arrived into!

Omgosh the weather! It was lovely for a little while, but the last few days have been non stop wind! I just wear my beanie and my puffy jacket whenever I go out lol. Although not sure how much longer I'll be able to zip up my jacket!
