Congratulations on becoming pregnant. I believe in the power of people to give birth safely and naturally in the environment of their choice. I see pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding as normal life events for most.

A trusting relationship with your midwife is important so you can feel safe and supported through your pregnancy, labour and early parenting journey.

As a mother of four children, I understand the importance of choosing a midwife you can trust, and who respects the choices you make. My wish is that every new whānau feels empowered, positive and well nourished. I support all growing families including those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

I work with Domino Midwives, a supportive practice of amazing midwives. Your care is provided by myself and back up care by a practice partner. Antenatal visits are in a Porirua clinic and postnatal visits in your home.

Preferred option is through the Domino Midwives online enquiry form available on our website dominomidwives.co.nz Alternatively you can email me on sarahdow.dominomidwife@gmail.com Please leave as many details as possible - name, when you’re due, suburb you live in, what number baby it is and details of previous births.
