NZ Midwives Have A Partnership With Women

Dear New Zealand DIYFather-to-be

Women who work as midwives probably have not intentionally left you and other men out of their partnership model but they have.

Like most men, you’re likely to be:

• Totally unconscious or uninterested in the history of childbirth in modern countries such as New Zealand.
• Equally disinterested and put off by the political debates that still rages between midwives and obstetricians.
• Ho hum about the struggles of pregnant women and those who work as midwives to get the NZ Midwifery maternity system developed.

Don’t feel poorly … like most men, you just want to know that your pregnant partner and baby are safe and cared for.

Partnerships have mutual responsibilities
