Kia ora and congratulations! I care for 4-6 women each month. As an LMC midwife, the bulk of my mahi takes place in the community caring for well women and supporting them to birth physiologically. My clinic is located in Hamilton East and this is where I see you while you are hapū. An important part of my role is to recognise through routine care if complications develop that require referral to specialist services. After discussion with you and your consent, I will refer appropriately. In this instance I remain your provider of primary midwifery care offering support and continuity. However should your situation result in an induction of labour and/or epidural pain relief, then midwifery care is likely to be provided in collaboration with hospital midwives. I enjoy a supportive midwifery partnership with Jennie Knight so that we can each have time off call and my clients have an opportunity to meet with Jennie in their third trimester. Wishing you all the best at this very exciting time. Ngā mihi.
