Bay Midwifery is a collective of independent midwives who work in the community as self employed Lead Maternity Carers.  We are a resource centre for any member of the public to obtain information on pregnancy, birth, and early infancy. Bay Midwifery was established in 1995 and is located on Fraser Street  in Greerton, Tauranga. We  have approximately 10 midwives working together as part of our midwifery collective.

 

Sound decisions are integral to good healthcare, and we want you to take an active role in making the right choices for you and your family. That’s why our philosophy with midwifery care “focuses on the needs of the individual and family for physical care, emotional and social support and active involvement of significant others according to cultural values and personal preferences.”

 

Midwives are able to attend births at home and in a hospital.  We can assist you in selecting a birth plan and choose where to give birth. Your midwife will assess your health needs and provide information to ensure you can make a safe and informed decision about where to have your baby.

 

Our midwives listen to women, and always provide the information you need to make informed and educated decisions about your healthcare. Like any provider, not all midwives are the same, and you should decide which type of midwife is right for you.
