Bunny Cummings, Rachael Hastings, Nicola Carmody, Linda Sowerby, Marika Robinson with postnatal midwives Jess Webster and Odette Lawson love working with pregnant women through the process of childbirth and in the postnatal period.
As a group of midwives we work closely together.
You will have a Lead Maternity Carer and you will also meet another midwife from the team who will provide you with the safest midwifery care at all times.
Pregnancy, childbirth and after baby is born, is an amazing journey. At West Auckland Midwives, we support natural birth, but are highly trained to identify and problems to ensure the best care. Let our team of experienced midwives guide you through your pregnancy and birth continuum.
Please try the ‘due date calculator’ below if you are unsure of your due date, then contact our team through the ‘Meet the Midwives’ or ‘Our Midwives’ tabs.
We look forward to hearing from you and thank you for visiting our website.
