Midwifery Service
Description
My name is Keryn and I have been a midwife for around 22 years. I provide care for women and their families throughout their childbirth journey in the primary setting offering homebirths or births at the Pukekohe birth unit. I am passionate about keeping birth normal but acknowledge that pregnancy and birth sometimes deviate from normal. I work in a team with three other midwives who all share the same philosophy.
This enables me to have regular time off so I can provide the best care to you. I look forward to walking alongside you on your childbirth journey.

Your stay at a birthing centre or hospital after giving birth will usually be up to 2 days, or 2-5 days if you have had a caesarean. During this time you will have regular visits from your midwife and be supported to care and feed your baby. After the birth you will be tired and busy getting to know your new baby. Most women who have had a normal birth stay in the hospital or birth centre for 48 hours. If you have had a caesarean section, the usual hospital stay is 3-5 days. There may be an option to have your postnatal stay in a primary unit if you have given birth at hospital. Some women choose to go straight home after birth, this is called a planned early discharge. Talk to your midwife about your postnatal stay and make sure your family know what your plan is.
