Description

Wei Wen has been a practising midwife in Auckland since 2007 and was previously a registered nurse.

I am happy to look after the care of mothers in the Panmure/Mt Wellington region and also cover the eastern suburbs such as Howick, Dannemora, Flatbush etc, as well as partially cover southern suburbs such as Manukau, Takanini etc. My clinic is on every Thursday and based at Botany Primary Birthing Unit. I am using Auckland Hospital as the main labour/birthing hospital, also do Birthcare or Botany Primary Birthing unit for the low risk Mama! 

I am also a certified lactation consultant and exclusively breastfed both of my children for over a year. I believe and promote that breastfeeding and breast milk is the best for baby.

I am working within a team of 3 and you will have an opportunity to meet my backups before your due date.  And I am taking a 2-3 client/month caseload to ensure the quality of maternity care.

 

你好, 我是独立助产士韦闻, 从2007年开始做独立助产至今,在这之前我是一名新西兰注册护士,并在本地医院工作多年, 对新西兰的医疗系统非常了解熟悉。 

我的工作范围覆盖从Mt wellington, Panmure以东以南区域到Takanini, Manurewa, 我通常用奥克兰医院作为接生医院。 我的门诊位于Botanty Primary Birthing Unit, 每周四会在那里门诊。

我同时也还是一名国际认证的母乳咨询师, 我支持推广保护母乳喂养, 认为母乳是婴儿最重要的食物。

作为两个孩子的母亲, 我体会到孕育是一种幸福的经历,能陪伴左右是我的荣欣。
