Vivian Wei - Midwife
Midwifery Service
Description
My name is Vivian Wei. I completed my midwifery training at Auckland University of Technology and I am a registered midwife. It is a privilege to work alongside women and their families as they make the transition to parenthood. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience to make the transition as smooth as possible for the entire family.
I moved into LMC practice as of February 2012 from Auckland City Hospital core midwifery. I practise mainly at North Shore Hospital and Auckland City Hospital. As a midwife working in a special partnership with each woman as her professional caregiver, I seek to practise in a way that harmonises with the woman’s natural physiological processes and promotes health.
My back up midwives are Jingping Wang & Sophia Chen.
I speak English and Mandarin.

Your stay at a birthing centre or hospital after giving birth will usually be up to 2 days, or 2-5 days if you have had a caesarean. During this time you will have regular visits from your midwife and be supported to care and feed your baby. After the birth you will be tired and busy getting to know your new baby. Most women who have had a normal birth stay in the hospital or birth centre for 48 hours. If you have had a caesarean section, the usual hospital stay is 3-5 days. There may be an option to have your postnatal stay in a primary unit if you have given birth at hospital. Some women choose to go straight home after birth, this is called a planned early discharge. Talk to your midwife about your postnatal stay and make sure your family know what your plan is.
