For Women

This section of the website is designed specially for women. Here you can find out about midwives and the services they offer. You can also find information about the maternity service in New Zealand and the care you can expect to receive from your Lead Maternity Carer (LMC).

Support services can be very helpful in pregnancy and afterwards. A number of consumer groups and community support agencies are listed. We have also included links to other websites that offer information about pregnancy and parenting.
