Ōtautahi Midwives

05/05/2026

Today is International Day of the Midwife — and this one feels extra special 💛

This year we are celebrating 10 years of walking alongside wāhine and whānau through pregnancy, birth and beyond.
A whole decade of tiny fingers, first cries, deep breaths, strength, trust… and the absolute privilege of being invited into some of life’s biggest moments.

To mark it, we’re sharing a few throwbacks from the past 10 years

💕And we’d LOVE to hear from you💕
If you’ve been part of our journey — whether recently or years ago — we’d be so grateful if you could:
• Share a photo of your pēpi (then or now!)
• Or drop a few words about your experience with us on here or Google

Your stories mean everything to us, and they’re a beautiful reminder of why we do what we do.

To every family who has trusted us — thank you 🤍
And to the midwives, past and present, who have been part of this 10-year journey… you are incredible.

Imagine giving birth and being unsure how you were going to safely transport your baby home from hospital 😢 Sadly, this is the reality for whānau anxiously waiting on our waitlist because we currently don't have enough capsules to pass on.

Our capsule stock is desperately low and with a large number of babies due in September, October and November, we need your help! If you have a great condition capsule you no longer need, we would be so grateful to take this off your hands. Or if you don't, please share this post far and wide within your networks 🙏

Donated capsules need to meet our health + safety standards:
⭐️ Have never been in a car accident
⭐️ Have at least 12 months left until they expire (we can check this for you!)
⭐️ Come in a clean, mould-free condition with no damage

Thank you for helping us to give the gift of safe travel to whānau in need! 🚗
