Even if you choose to have your baby at another hospital, you can still transfer to Birthcare for your postnatal stay. Birthcare has private room options for a peaceful rest during your stay with us. With a variety of postnatal services, Birthcare is here to support you in your next exciting chapter.
Here at Birthcare Auckland, we have a range of beautiful rooms to suit your postnatal wants and needs.
Even if you choose to have your baby at another hospital, you can still transfer to Birthcare for your postnatal stay and stay for up to 2 nights free of charge in a shared room (except for the Waitematā District Health Board catchment area).
If you would like to transfer to Birthcare for your postnatal care, we have a simple online registration form.
Each woman is different but if you’ve had a normal vaginal birth you can expect to transfer within 3 to 5 hours.
If you’ve had a caesarean section it can be longer but usually within 24 to 48 hours. When you are ready to transfer, staff at Auckland Hospital will contact Birthcare and let us know.
You may also contact Birthcare if you have any queries.
