Obstetric information for families
Welcome to the National Obstetric Anaesthesia group’s information page for New Zealand families.
How we help
As a parent there are many choices you can make for your family: from conception, through birth, breastfeeding and beyond.
We hope that by providing you with information on some of the choices where Anaesthetists might be involved, that we can help you feel confident when the time comes to making those decisions.
