Description

What Does the ACH High Risk Midwifery Team Do?

We are a team of midwives who are experts in caring for women who need extra care during pregnancy. This might be because of medical conditions, past and present pregnancy complications or fetal abnormalities.

We provide information and support throughout your pregnancy. We work business hours only. If you have questions or concerns outside these hours that are not urgent please feel free to leave us a message. If it is urgent please phone the Women's Assessment Unit on 307 4949 x 25900

We work together in a multidisciplinary team to provide care. The other members of our team include obstetricians, physicians, dietitians, physiotherapists and social workers.  We have regular meetings to review your care.

How Do You Get Referred to the ACH High Risk Midwifery Team?

Your doctor or lead maternity carer (LMC) can refer you to our service. Once you are referred, our team will review the information we receive and either communicate with your LMC or contact you directly to arrange a clinic appointment.

Birthing Facilities Midwife/s Attend

Auckland DHB Labour and Birthing Suite

Click on the following link for more information on Auckland DHB Labour and Birthing Suite.


Women attending the Maternal Fetal Medicine Clinic (High Risk) mostly deliver at Auckland City Hospital, as the specialty services required to care for them and/or their baby are here.

After consultation with the Medical Team, some women who have been referred from another part of the country can deliver their babies in their own DHB.

Birthcare

Birthcare is also part of our postnatal care facility. Birthcare is located across the Domain, from the hospital. Most women who have experienced their pregnancy care and birth with the High Risk team will continue their postnatal care within National Women's at Auckland City Hospital.
