Discussing Group B Strep today with māmā at our Ōpunake clinic - Sara Wickham is an excellent resource and we have her books to loan out. When doing lab urine tests and vaginal swabs, this could be picked up. It is important to know how a diagnosis of Group B Strep could impact your pregnancy.

Check out this quick overview to help inform your decision making when deciding whether or not to give your pēpi Vitamin K after birth.

Adré here, in our cosy Ōākura clinic. Restocking our pamphlets and tidying up the shelves. We offer many resources to pregnant māmā and whānau: printed pamphlets, books, and also email info on specific issues related to your pregnancy. We particularly love the wisdom from Sara Wickham, Maternity Consumer Council, Rachel Reed, La Leche League, and many others. As midwives we believe in making sure you get all the information relevant to make informed choices in your pregnancy.

Excellent labour cheat sheet 🙌

One of our Midwives created a little cheat sheet for labour support. She shared it with one of the women in her care and she turned it into this amazing graphic. Thankyou!
Save to your phone especially for your labour support person as a reminder about ways to support you
