Midwife LMC, Wendy, shares why she loves working from Te Awakairangi Birthing Centre

I am a midwife in the Hutt Valley and I work out of Te Awakairangi birthing centre.

This is a fantastic facility and allows my clients to have choice in place of birth, which evidence has shown to be very important to birthing people.

Without this facility, many whanau will lose this choice and be forced to birth at HVDHB, which is already understaffed and overcrowded.

I can not understand why HVDHB will not fund this beautiful facility. If this facility were funded by the DHB, this would open the facility up to being used by any birthing people in the Hutt Valley, not just those who are lucky enough to find LMCs.
