You’re amazing! You’re growing a little human. One of THE most important jobs of your life.

I'm Sam, a midwife originally from Yorkshire in the UK, with 3 grown up children of my own.

As your midwife I will:

- Walk alongside you

- Calmly guide and support you

- Educate and inform you

- Focus on the normality of pregnancy and birth

- Recognise and refer you to local specialists, if your journey strays from normal

- Use up to date technology, giving you quick access to your notes and information

- Support your transition to parenthood

- Link you with your chosen Well Child Provider once our journey ends at 6 weeks

- Listen to you!

I support mums at home births, the birthing unit and hospital. I support mums having a repeat caesarean and tailor care to your wishes, as much as possible.

I work with other midwives; Carla Cederman, Jess Bellairs, Lisa Kennedy, Amie Watson, Michelle Robinson and Hannah Brahne. We support each other to have a sustainable practice.

Please contact me via the enquiry form or by email at samrhodesmidwife@gmail.com or go to www.samrhodesmidwife.com. I will send you a confirmation email if you're booked in or let you know if I'm unavailable. This can take a few days. I answer emails as soon as I can when I am on-call. I have Wednesday and Thursdays off call every week and my midwifery partner cares for my clients at that time. You'll meet my midwifery partner during your pregnancy. My clinic is in Papamoa every Wednesday, covering Mount, Papamoa, Te Puke, and Maketu areas. You are entitled to 10 times off work to attend your appointments. I have a CTG monitor in clinic which enables me to listen to babies for prolonged periods of time, should you be concerned about movements. You can follow my Facebook page, Instagram and YouTube channel 'Sam Rhodes Midwife' for useful pregnancy information. My website www.samrhodesmidwife.com also has information you can look at. 30/9/26
