Sarah Stewart
I am a midwifery lecturer and midwife working in Dunedin. I carry a small caseload and I am completely committed to providing total midwifery care in partnership with women and their whanau or families.
I passionately believe in the 'normality' of childbirth, and that midwifery care should be focused on the woman, who has the right to free, informed choice and consent. I have my practice regularly reviewed by the local Midwifery Standards Review Committee and am an active member of the New Zealand College of Midwives. I am enrolled in my PhD at the Centre for Online Health, University of Queensland, Brisbane because I am very interested to find out how midwives and pregnant women use the Internet.
I am married to Mark and have two children, Ellen and Andrew. I hate housework and love reading 'Mills and Boon' romances when I have the time! My midwifery interests range widely from home birth, VBAC, to midwives' use of the Internet.
