I write another blog if you want the full story Oh My God it's Twins and my most recent post explains one of the very best aspects of having a baby in New Zealand, or of course in our case two babies!
Having babies in New Zealand is great. The Services are fantastic and if you pay a small amount extra you get even better service. The people you meet during the pregnancy are going to be the same as people in the delivery room. You will get your own room afterwards, at the very worse a room shared with one other mommy. I cannot recommend it enough, I know i'm the bloke but I know Becca feels the same. We love the Rosie in Cambridge UK and we loved having Millie there but the short comings of the NHS are exactly that. New Zealand has some of the same issues but it simply hasn't got to deal with the shear weight of numbers. And you babies are citizens by right - provided you are a permanent resident!

What a beautiful photograph!
I whole heartedly agree about childbirth in NZ, where home-birth is a positively received option too (see http://www.homebirth.org.nz/menu.html).
I loved having my midwife visit me at home and knowing that either her, or my back-up midwife, would be with me for the duration of my labour (which was 2 day's with my first child!). My midwife even managed to visit with home-made soup the day after my daughter's arrival!
I didn't manage a home-birth with either of my girls, but I had freedom of choice and plenty of say, which counts for so much!
Thank You Sarah I'll put the link up on the page. Do have a look at www.omgtwins.com if you have a chance, I'll put the home birth link there too.
All the best JG
