I whakaū a Nicola Dunnicliff-Wells, he tohunga mātauranga eke paihikara, he whaea hoki, i te wā o te rangahau he haumaru te pā.

E whakaaetia whānuitia ana he pai te whakakori tinana auau mō ngā wāhine hāpu. Mā te whakakori tinana tika ka mau tonu te wairua o te oranga i te wā e hāpu ana, ka āwhina hoki i te tinana ki te whakarite mō te whānautanga, ā, he pai hoki mō te whakaora i te tinana i muri i te whānautanga.

E akiaki ana a Glenys Janssen, he nēhi kaiwhakawhanau i te Royal Women's Hospital Childbirth Education and Training Unit, i ngā wāhine hāpu kia whakakorikori tinana, me te whakahua i ngā painga maha.

"Ka āwhina i a koe ki te tautuhi i a koe anō, ā, ka āwhina anō hoki ki te whakahaere i tō taumaha."

Kei te piki haere te tere o te mate huka i waenga i ngā wāhine hapū, nā te mea nui kei te piki haere te taumaha o ngā wāhine.

"Ki te whakakorikori tinana koe i ia wā, ka iti ake te tūponotanga ka pāngia koe e te mate huka, ā, ka pai ake tō kaha ki te whakahaere i tō taumaha."

I kī a Glenys kei te āwangawanga ētahi tāngata kei mate te pēpi i te wā e whakakori tinana ana, e whara rānei i te pēpi, engari kāore he rangahau e whakaatu ana he pānga kino tō te whakakori tinana ā-hauora ki te hāputanga hauora, noa.

"Mēnā he raruraru, pērā i te whānautanga maha, te toto toto tiketike, kaua e whakakorikori tinana, kaua hoki e mahi i tētahi whakakorikori tinana ngāwari i raro i te arataki a te tākuta, te kaiwhakaora tinana rānei."
