Hi guys! I have made it!
Let me introduce myself. My name is Emma, and I have been working as a midwife for fifteen years. I live in Wellington and have worked as a core midwife for Wellington hospital for 10 years. The last 5 years have seen me working as a independent midwife, in a group practice with 3 other midwives. I have a wide variety of interests, including trying to live a healthy lifestyle, if that can be described as an interest! My dog, Zac, keeps me honest by providing me with lots of exercise. I am a keen gardener, and have a garden full of vegetables. I try very hard to maintain a healthy weight, which is not always easy!
I believe eating 'right' now helps protect me for the future.
Tomorrow I have an appointment to see Shannon, who has just discovered that she is eleven weeks pregnant. Shannon has moved from Gore recently, as Bruce, her partner, has transferred to Wellington with his job. Shannon and Bruce have one other child, Benjamin who is two years old.
Shannon phoned me today. She says that she is well, although suffering from extreme nausea in the early morning and again in the late afternoon. She is starting to become constipated.
I am looking forward to meeting with Shannon and her family. I hope that I am able to provide her some relief for her discomforts.

Hi Emma, I am a midwife in Dunedin and I have just piled on the weight since I moved there from Gisborne a few years ago. I think its all that porridge we eat down here to keep warm!
I would love to grow my own veggies but I only have a small garden and to be honest, I lack the motivation and time to do eat. But, I know that fresh veggies is so much better for you. take care, Sarah
