Did you know…..

When you get a positive pregnancy test that you don't need to see a doctor?

Walk into Pohlen, go to our website or Find your midwife Matamata Midwives to select a midwife.

The midwife can organise any blood tests, dating scanning and recommended supplements for you.

We can do everything and support you along your journey with any questions or information you require.💚

Meet Our Wonderful Team of Midwives

We are proud to introduce our team of six dedicated Pohlen midwives, each bringing passion, expertise, and a gentle touch to every birth and family we support. Together, we create a nurturing environment where care, compassion, and trust go hand in hand.

Whether it’s guiding you through pregnancy, supporting you during labour and birth, or helping your family adjust in those first precious days through to 4-6 weeks after you have had your baby, our team is here for you every step of the way. Get to know the faces behind the care—you’re in excellent hands!
The midwives work in three teams of two, so you are guaranteed to get personalized / individualized care from your chosen midwife and her back up.
