Paula from Fairfield birthed Lottie Iris at the Birthing Centre

The birthing unit was incredible. The moment I arrived I felt calm.
The large rooms, dimmed lights and light walls make the place relaxing. I had the most amazing birth experience, delivering my 3rd large baby in the bath with the support of my partner and incredibly encouraging midwife.

I’m so thankful Judi supported my decision of wherever I’d like to birth, and I trusted her completely and felt safe at Te Awakairangi Birthing Centre.

But it was also the days later that set me up for a healthy mind to head home to a family of 5.

After giving birth at the Hutt hospital previously, the following night was spent in a dark, old room, with a small window, and the loud noises of the midwives and nurses outside was awful. I was rattled.

The surrounding rooms at the Birthing Centre are quiet. You are welcomed and well cared for with delicious and nutritious food. And to be able to comfortable have my family visit was so special.
Just look at the doting faces of Lottie’s older siblings.
​

We all fit in the bed and bonded together. 
​That is magical.
Te Awakairangi Birthing Centre was the best decision I ever made. I’m so thankful for their services to families in the community. A true asset in the region.

    Birth Hub

    August 2021 - we're now working alongside a group of committed individuals from the birthing community in the Hutt Valley (parents, midwives, childbirth educators, natural therapists etc.) who are volunteering their time and resources to  SAVE the only home-like (well hotel-like!) Birth Centre in Wellington which is in Melling, Lower Hutt. 

    These are the stories that have been shared with us from birthing whanau who have used the Centre, and from those that work there.
