Midwifery Quotes

We have a secret in our culture, and it's not that birth is painful. It's that women are strong.
Laura Stavoe Harm

The knowledge of how to give birth without outside intervention lies deep within each woman. Successful childbirth depends on an acceptance of the process.
Suzanne Arms

 

Welcome to Ashburton Birthcare Midwives

Ashburton Birthcare Midwives work collaboratively to provide the best possible care for you and your family, passionately providing pregnancy, labour and birth care for local women choosing to birth at home or at the Ashburton Maternity Centre. 

We are also the only local midwives to provide care through to Christchurch Womens’ hospital for women whose risks may increase and who are then required to birth at a secondary/tertiary hospital as in the referral guidelines (examples are inductions of labour, women who have had previous c sections, women expecting twins).

We are committed to providing you with true continuity of carer throughout your journey to motherhood.
