Midwifery Service
Description
Rodney Coast Midwives are a group of experienced midwives who work as a team and support each other to maintain a 24 hour service to women. As midwives we are committed to provide women with individualised care which involves the whole pregnancy, birth and postnatal experience. Our aim is to support women through the birth experience by providing a relaxed, homely atmosphere with as little intervention in the natural process as possible.
We wish to foster family bonding by including the family in all aspects of the woman's pregnancy and birth. We believe that continuity of care from one midwife is important as it encourages trust and confidence in each other. Each woman also has a second midwife as a backup.
We believe this service empowers women and provides them with more choice.

Services Provided
Because pregnancy care is so important for your health and the health of your baby, it is free for all NZ citizens, residents and many other visa holders. Your midwife will give you advice on keeping yourself healthy in pregnancy and you will be offered regular appointments so your midwife can monitor your progress. Your midwife will be looking out for any signs that you or your baby are becoming unwell. Some conditions in pregnancy may not be obvious to the untrained eye, so attending appointments is vital. Your midwife will order blood tests and ultrasound scans as required. Please make sure you undertake these tests promptly so that any problems can be detected early. If any problems are indentified you will be referred to a hospital specialist, who will make a plan of care with you and your midwife. Your midwife will talk to you about what you want for your pregnancy and will plan your care with you. You will be asked to think about the kind of labour and birth you would like and your preferences will be recorded. It is a good idea to attend a childbirth education course, especially if this is your first baby.
