Hi all,
I live in Wellington. I'm pregnant for the first time. Due on 17th November.
I'm absolutely thrilled but also scared and a bit confused.
I've just been to my GP and got a bundle of information but I'm new to NZ and have no real idea about what I'm supposed to do next. My Dr told me to find a midwife and get blood tests (she gave me a lab form). But how do I know which midwife to use? I don't really understand how maternity care works in NZ. In the UK i would have been referred to a midwife at the local hospital and they would have sorted out all tests, dating and explained to me what to do and what us going to happen. I don't have anyone here to ask for advice and I feel rather lost, alone and a long way from home. Please help!
Also, please can I have access to the private forum.
Thanks Laura

Exciting Laura!
I'm not sure on the midwife thing either but I think the point here is that we can choose our own midwife (have a look online or someone else here who is in Wellington may have some advice). I know in Otago they have a website with details of heaps of midwives, Wellington may have the same. I guess doing it this way means you get to choose a midwife you think is suitable for you? I think Wellington is a tough area though so the sooner you get in the better probably. Hope that helps a wee bit!

Laura - it's really frustrating the first time when you don't want to ask people for recommendations this early as they'll know you're pregnant! There is an old thread to recommend midwives: Recommend Your MidwifeI found it best to do a little research and decide where I wanted to give birth; hospital, a birthing centre or home. Then look for a midwife who delivers where I want to birth. When delivering at a hospital or birthing centre you have two options 1) Team/shared care. This is a team of about 5 midwives based at the hospital/birthing centre. You will probably meet all of them over your check-ups while pregnant, and whoever is on that shift will deliver your baby. At he birthing centre near me a different group of midwives do your follow-up care. 2) Independent midwives. Independent midwives often work in groups, so if your midwife is unavailable one of the others in her group will care for you at that appointment or delivery. I chose an independent midwife because I wanted to deliver at a birthing centre, but if things got complicated I wanted my midwife to be able to come to the hospital with me and continue my care there, which shared care cannot. On the other hand, things don't normally get complicated A tip I picked u from on here, when you pick a midwife/team try googling them.

If you scroll right down to the bottom on the forums homepage there is a series of private forums, you just click on the November one and it should ask you for the password.
I struggled to find it on the mobile-friendly version of the site.

Hi All, great to see lots of others due Nov 2103 on this site. We are expecting our first on the 16th of November.
I am finding this being pregnant a bit of an emotional roller coaster. I google waaaay to much, and think I am going to worry until at least 12 weeks!
I would love to join the private group please Skilz.
I look forward to following all your progress!!
