Spiritual Wellbeing
The way people view wairua can be very different. Wairua is spoken or unseen energies. For some, wairua is an internal connection to the universe. For others, wairua is your connection to who and what you are, where you have come from and where you are going.

Under the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumer Rights, healthcare services may be provided to you only if you make an informed choice and give informed consent to it. Informed consent is the process of talking about options with your healthcare provider so you can make an informed decision about your health care. This includes the option of saying no to a treatment or procedure. When you use a health or disability service in New Zealand, you have the protection of a Code of Rights.
Some people may find the B.R.A.I.N acronym a useful tool when making informed decisions about their healthcare options. For example:
B – Benefits. What are the benefits of this particular test/treatment/intervention?
R – Risks. What are the risks if I do the test and what are the risks if I don’t do the test/treatment/intervention?
A – Alternatives. What are the other options?
I – Intuition. What does my gut tell me?
N – Nothing. What would happen if I did nothing?
Ensuring you understand your options will give you a solid foundation to make the choice of informed consent or refusal.

Folic acid helps the body to make new cells. Folic acid is important because it can help to prevent birth defects of a baby’s brain and spine, such as spina bifida. Take a folic acid tablet every day for 4 weeks (1 month) before you might become pregnant through to 12 weeks after becoming pregnant. It is less expensive to have this prescribed.
Iodine helps the body to grow and develop, especially the brain. Because babies get iodine from their mothers, pregnant and breastfeeding women need more iodine. As well as choosing foods high in iodine, take one iodine-only tablet every day when pregnant and breastfeeding. It is less expensive to have this prescribed.
Vitamin D is needed for strong bones and joints as well as healthy muscle and nerve activity. If you don’t have enough vitamin D during pregnancy, your baby may be born with low vitamin D levels. If you have darker skin, spend most of your time inside, have liver or kidney disease or are taking certain medicines, you are at a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency. If you are worried that you don’t get enough vitamin D, or you have a higher risk of vitamin D deficiency, talk to your midwife, GP or nurse practitioner.

SmartStart has information about trying to become pregnant, pregnancy and the stages of your baby’s life up until they are 6 years old. It includes information about their behaviour and development, as well as other tips and ideas related to health, parenting and education.
After you’ve had your pēpi, you are legally required to register the birth. It’s free, but there is a charge if you want to order a birth certificate.
You can also register for Best Start payments, using the same application form as the birth registration. Best Start is a government payment of $65 per week, for each child born on or after 1st July 2018. If you’re a New Zealand resident, you can get Best Start payments until your pēpi turns one, no matter what you/your whare earns. Best Start payments won’t usually start until Paid Parental Leave finishes. Receiving Best Start payments won’t affect any other payments or benefits you get. Once your pēpi turns one, Best Start payments become income tested.
SmartStart also has information about financial help you may be eligible for, as well as parenting information and tips.

Good oral health is important if you’re planning to conceive or if you are pregnant. Poor oral health can lead to complications such as miscarriage and preterm labour.
Hormone changes in pregnancy can make you more susceptible to dental and gum disease. It’s important to brush twice daily with fluoridated toothpaste, floss once daily and continue with regular dental appointments.

When anxiety or depression occurs during pregnancy it is referred to as antenatal depression or antenatal anxiety.
Up to 1 in 10 women and 1 in 20 men experience antenatal depression. Anxiety is thought to be as common, and many parents experience anxiety and depression at the same time. It is normal to experience a degree of anxiety and ‘ups and downs’ when expecting a baby. However, some people develop a more pronounced anxiety or lower mood (depression) which affects their daily life and functioning.
For some people this is the first time they have felt depressed, others may have a depression which predates pregnancy, and may not have been recognised up to that point.

Keeping pēpi safe in the car is one of the most important ways you can protect them. A child restraint technician can help you check that your car seat is safe for pēpi and properly installed. Talk to your midwife or health provider about car seat options if need any support finding one.
Website: kidshealth.org.nz/child-car-seats
Crying is one of the only forms of communication your pēpi has. Sometimes pēpi cry because something is wrong and sometimes pēpi cry because they want your attention and love. Often you won’t be able to find a reason why your pēpi is crying. This can be stressful, particularly if your pēpi is crying for a long period of time. Shaken baby syndrome usually happens when a parent or cargiver shakes pēpi because they are frustrated with them.
Shaking a pēpi can lead to permanent brain damage, paralysis, blindness, deafness, seizuers, broken bones, developmental delays and death.
You have the power to protect. Have a plan in place for when pēpi won’t stop crying. If you’re feeling frustrated, put pēpi in a safe space and take a break. Come back when you are ready to comfort your pēpi.
If you are worried your pēpi is unwell, contact your midwife, GP or Tamariki Ora Well Child provider.
Never leave your pēpi alone with someone you think might lose control. If you think you might lose control, don’t pick up your pēpi. Talk to a trusted relative or friend and don’t be embarrassed. It’s healthy to know when you’ve reached your limit.
Sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI) is when a pēpi dies in an unexpected and initially unexplained way. Most SUDI occurs when pēpi are sleeping in an unsafe environment. SUDI is a leading cause of preventable death for pēpi in Aotearoa. Thinking about SUDI can be very frightening for new parents, but there are many ways in which you can protect your pēpi and greatly reduce the risk of SUDI.
Safe sleep for P.E.P.E:
Place baby on his or her own baby bed, face clear of bedding and in the same room as the caregiver.
Eliminate smoking in pregnancy and protect baby with a smoke free whānau, whare and waka.
Position baby flat on his or her back to sleep, face up.
Encourage and support breastfeeding and gentle handing of baby
Ask your LMC or Tamariki Ora Well Child nurse about a safe sleep bed (wahakura or Pēpi-Pod) for your pēpi.
Learning About Breastfeeding
Breast milk is the perfect food for your pēpi. It’s all your pēpi needs to eat and drink for the first 6 months. Breast milk protects your pēpi against colds, tummy bugs, infections and allergies. It also helps to protect your pēpi against sudden unexpected death in infancy (SUDI). Most antenatal classes will encompass breastfeeding education. Please speak to your midwife about the benefits of breastfeeding and antenatal hand expressing.
