How to find a Northland Midwife
Recommendation by a recent mother
This is a good method. Most new mothers would be happy to pass on the contact details for their midwife in Northland if she was happy with the maternity care she received.
Recommendation by your GP
If you confirm your pregnancy by way of a consultation with your GP you can discuss your options for lead maternity care. The Doctor should have contact details of local Northland midwives in the area.

Good old Google
Some midwies have their own personal website or have listed on other service directories. You can search for a midwife in your area, though some of these listings are disappointingly out of date if the midwives have not kept their current info accurate.
