Description
Wei Wen has been a practising midwife in Auckland since 2007 and was previously a registered nurse.
I am happy to look after the care of mothers in the Panmure/Mt Wellington region and also cover the eastern suburbs such as Howick, Dannemora, Flatbush etc, as well as partially cover southern suburbs such as Manukau, Takanini etc. My clinic is on every Thursday and based at Botany Primary Birthing Unit. I am using Auckland Hospital as the main labour/birthing hospital, also do Birthcare or Botany Primary Birthing unit for the low risk Mama!
I am also a certified lactation consultant and exclusively breastfed both of my children for over a year. I believe and promote that breastfeeding and breast milk is the best for baby.
I am working within a team of 3 and you will have an opportunity to meet my backups before your due date. And I am taking a 2-3 client/month caseload to ensure the quality of maternity care.
你好, 我是独立助产士韦闻, 从2007年开始做独立助产至今,在这之前我是一名新西兰注册护士,并在本地医院工作多年, 对新西兰的医疗系统非常了解熟悉。
我的工作范围覆盖从Mt wellington, Panmure以东以南区域到Takanini, Manurewa, 我通常用奥克兰医院作为接生医院。 我的门诊位于Botanty Primary Birthing Unit, 每周四会在那里门诊。
我同时也还是一名国际认证的母乳咨询师, 我支持推广保护母乳喂养, 认为母乳是婴儿最重要的食物。
作为两个孩子的母亲, 我体会到孕育是一种幸福的经历,能陪伴左右是我的荣欣。

Services Provided
If your midwife is self-employed, they will attend your labour and birth. In the event that they are away or busy, they will have arranged a back-up midwife to be available instead. Make sure you know who the back-up is and how to contact them. If your midwife is a hospital-based community midwife, your labour and birth care will be provided by a hospital-based midwife. Please ensure you know the correct number to call for both your community midwife and the hospital birthing suite directly. Make sure you understand the signs of labour and when to call your midwife. Every labour and birth is different and not all go according to plan. Make sure you understand what can happen and be prepared to change your birth plan. Your midwife will talk to you about what may happen and also about what strategies you can use to manage labour pain. Some midwives provide care for women who have been given an epidural by an anaesthetist, have an oxytocin drip and abnormal fetal heart trace, others do not. Please check to see if the midwife you choose offers these services.

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.

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.
