If you need extra care during pregnancy because of medical conditions, past and present pregnancy complications or fetal abnormalities, we have a team of specialised midwives who can look after you. They will work with a multidisciplinary team and give information and on-going midwifery support as your pregnancy progresses.

If you have one of the High Risk Team midwives as your LMC, you are likely to need more than the usual number of appointments in pregnancy, depending on your needs. You may also need to see a range of health professionals.

Accessing our service

To access this service, you must be referred by a doctor or other LMC. Our team will review the information we receive and either communicate with your LMC or contact you directly to arrange a clinic appointment.

Location: Level 9, Auckland City Hospital

Our Women's Assessment Unit (WAU) provides acute care for pregnant women who are experiencing pregnancy or gynaecology complications and need to be seen urgently.

The Day Assessment Unit (DAU) provides outpatient care, by appointment, for women with complex pregnancies who need closer monitoring.

As a specialised midwifery-led service within our Women's Assessment Unit (WAU), the team works closely with the relevant obstetric team or private obstetrician.
