About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

FREE EVENT - NO TICKET NEEDED! Just turn up :)

Welcome to our Monthly Home Birth Meeting! Join us every second Tuesday each month at 11:00 AM at the Auckland Women's Centre. This is a great opportunity to connect with other expectant parents, share experiences, and learn more about the home birth process. Whether you're considering a home birth or have already decided on one, this meeting is for you!

We also have guest speakers including midwives, lactation consultants, pelvic health physiotherapists, chiropractors and more!

We are an inclusive organisation and our meetings are too - new parents, old parents, expectant parents, home birth-interested folk, spouses, siblings, children, everyone welcome!

New to the group we have a "Free Table". You're most welcome to bring along kids clothing, maternity wear, extras from your garden, anything relevant that you would like to find a new home for.

Koha for room hire and kai to share are appreciated but completely optional.

Come join us for a casual and informative gathering.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring children?

Absolutely! We are inclusive of all ages and our venue is indoors and safe for children and babies.

Can I bring my own food?

Yes, you are most welcome to bring food either to eat just for yourself or to share with others. It's completely up to you. There are also cafes in the area if you'd prefer to buy something.

I'm not sure I want a home birth, can I still come?

Yes! You are welcome to come and bring any questions you have. Or if you just want to listen in, that's completely fine too! We support physiologic birth wherever that takes place. And as we always say, you don't have to decide now and you can always change your mind later.

How much does it cost to attend?

All our meetings are free to attend. If you are able, we always appreciate koha to help cover the room hire but how much or if at all is completely up to you.

Are men/my husband allowed to come?

Definitely! We encourage men and dads to come along and take part. Dads are a valued part of the home birth process and community.
