Taupō Maternity Services

Nau mai haere mai, welcome to our maternity services here at Taupō Hospital.

Our maternity service is available to support you throughout all of the stages of your pregnancy, during childbirth and once your pēpi has been born.

The Taupō Maternity Unit is a primary birthing facility, where we offer outpatient antenatal, assessment, birthing and postnatal services for local women/people, particularly those with low-risk pregnancies.

We also provide appropriate emergency pregnancy care to women/people who are visiting the Taupō area.

The Taupō Maternity Unit has two (2) birthing rooms, both with an ensuite bathroom and a birthing pool, and three (3) postnatal rooms with ensuite bathrooms.

We work in partnership with you and your chosen LMC to provide the most appropriate care for you and your pēpi specific needs.

The Maternity Unit is accredited with Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative status. All staff are expertly skilled to assist with breastfeeding. A Lactation Consultant is also available to assist and support mothers with any identified issues with breastfeeding.

If you have a high-risk pregnancy, it will be recommended that you transfer to Rotorua Maternity Unit for additional monitoring and care in labour and birth.  If you and your pēpi are well then you may transfer back to Taupō Maternity for routine postnatal care.
