As with most midwives, we provide antenatal, birth and postnatal care.
When you ring looking for a midwife we will talk you through how we work as a team. If this suits you, we will arrange an appointment for you to come in and complete the booking process, which takes approximately an hour.
During you antenatal period we ask that you visit us at our clinic. We see you for an average of 10-12 antenatal appointments, depending on which stage of pregnancy you are at your booking visit.
We provide full labour and delivery care at Waitakere Hospital.
During your postnatal period we visit you at home, unless you prefer to come to our clinic. We see you and your baby a minimum of 7 times during this period and usually refer you on to your well child provider between 4-6 weeks.
We also offer free pregnancy testing by appointment.
We are located in Henderson, within the Henderson Medical Centre. The Medical Centre offers a wide range of services including General Practitioners, a Pharmacy, Physiotherapists and pregnancy ultrasound at The Radiology Group right next door.
We care for women in the West Auckland Area, from New Lynn through to Whenuapai, West Harbour and Westgate. If you are not sure if you are within this area then just give us a call.
There are currently three midwives available for your care at Midwives Out West. We work closely in a group so that if your midwife (Lead Maternity Carer) is unvailable due to sickness, another delivery or scheduled time off then the continuity of your care continues as normal. You will have an oppourtunity to meet all three midwives during your pregnancy.
