Where to start. What an amazing midwife you are. Such a huge wealth of knowledge and experience!! And every question i asked you answered with freshness and enthusiasm as if you had never answered it before!! Always a joy to see you arrive at the front door. A beautiful joyful energy always came with!!

So kind and generous with both your time, flexibility and knowledge.

I highly reccomend Margaret without any hesitation

Margaret is a fantastic midwife.
She enabled me to have a beautiful water birth at home after a c-section 4 years previous. She included my 4 year old son in all prenatal visits and he learned a great deal about normal birth!
Margarets gentle support and depth of knowledge helped me make the decisions that were right for me, my family and my unborn baby.
She was also a great calming influence in those first really hard weeks!
My baby is now 6 1/2 months old and I still get out the birth photos and fondly remember his birth.
Thanks Margaret.

I hope this website is browsed by many, many women in Dunedin who are considering a homebirth. If that’s you – you lucky thing! You’ve found the women who will help empower you in your pregnancy and birthing journey. Margaret was my midwife 4 times – 3 early miscarriages and one success!! Woohoo! I also have a 10 year old who was a homebirth in Christchurch.

My babe is now 7 months old, and I’m sad that there will be no more, because that means no more Margaret!

Margaret is an absolute professional who will listen to all you have to say. She is incredibly knowledgeable – I am convinced that without her knowledge of positions and hip manipulations, I would have been in hospital for a Cesarean – mine was a posterior baby who was a little reluctant to move.

I cannot recommend Margaret and Tracy Botica enough. Thanks for helping us have our child by our terms!
