Tātaitai Rā Whānautanga

Ko te rā utaina hapūtanga ka tātaihia noa ko te 280 rā (40 wiki) mai i te rā tuatahi o tō maramatanga wāhine whakamutunga (LMP). Ka whakamahia tēnei paerewa nā te mea ka puta te hua-ira me te hapū tata rua wiki i muri i te tīmatanga o te LMP, ā ka tatauhia noa te hapūtanga mai i te LMP. Nō reira ahakoa ko te hapūtanga tūturu tata ki te wiki 2, ka 'tīmata' te hapūtanga i te wiki 0. He whakatau noa ngā rā utaina — ko tata 4% anake o ngā pēpē ka whānau i tō rātou rā utaina tino tika. Ka pūti tētahi whānautanga katoa noa i waenga i te 38 me te 42 wiki. Ka whakamahia pea ngā ārahitanga kāweka tūāmua (ōrite ki tētahi ārahitanga rā 8–12 wiki) hei whakatūturu, urupare rānei i te rā utaina whakatauhia e ai ki ngā inenga pēpē. I Aotearoa, ka whakatūturu tōu Kaiāwhina Hapūtanga Matua (LMC) i tōu rā utaina i tōu tūitoitanga tiaki hapūtanga tuatahi. Puna: NZ Ministry of Health — Pregnancy (health.govt.nz).

Ko te ture a Naegele ko te pūtake rata paerewa mō te whakatauhia i te rā utaina hapūtanga. I whakawhanakehia e te rata wāhine tiaki Tiamana a Franz Karl Naegele i te tīmatanga o te rautau 19, ka tātai te ture i te rā utaina whakatauhia (EDD) mā te tango i te rā tuatahi o te maramatanga wāhine whakamutunga (LMP), me tāpiri tētahi tau, me tango ētahi marama e toru, ā me tāpiri ngā rā e whitu. Hei tauira, mēnā ko tōu LMP ko te 1 o Haratua 2025, ko te EDD: 1 Haratua 2025 + 1 tau - 3 marama + 7 rā = 8 Hūrae 2026. He rite tēnei ki te tāpiri i te 280 rā (40 wiki) ki te LMP. Ka whakaaro te ture a Naegele i tētahi hurihanga maramatanga 28-rā me te puta hua-ira i te rā 14, nō reira ka hiahiatia pea ngā urupare mō ngā wāhine he hurihanga wahangū, roa ake rānei. Ahakoa tōna pakeke, ko te ture a Naegele tonu te tātaitanga rā utaina paerewa tuatahi ka whakamahia puta noa i te ao me ngā tiaki hapūtanga o Aotearoa.

I Aotearoa, me rēhita koe ki tētahi Kaiāwhina Hapūtanga Matua (LMC) — i te nuinga o ngā wā he māuiui-ā-whānau — i ngā wā tōmua rawa atu o tōu hapūtanga, tino pai rawa i mua i te 10 wiki. Ka āhei koe ki ngā tiaki trimester tuatahi katoa i tūtohuhia mā te rēhitatanga tōmua, tae atu ki te whakamātautau ōrite (i tukuna i waenga 10–14 wiki) me tōu ārahitanga rā tuatahi. He mea nui rawa te kimi LMC i ngā wā tōmua nā te mea ko ētahi rohe o Aotearoa he iti ngā māuiui-ā-whānau, ā ka taea pea ngā LMC he āheinga iti. Ka taea e koe te rapu ngā LMC wātea mā te paetukutuku Find Your Midwife (findyourmidwife.co.nz). Ka whakahaere tōu LMC i ōu tiaki hapūtanga katoa i roto i te hapūtanga, ka tae ki tōu whānautanga, me te homai i ngā tiaki whai-whānau mō te ono wiki i muri i te whānautanga. Ka pūteahia katoa ngā tiaki hapūtanga LMC e te kāwanatanga mō ngā tāngata o Aotearoa e tika ana. Puna: NZ Ministry of Health — Maternity Services (health.govt.nz).

Ka tuku a Aotearoa i ngā tiaki hapūtanga kore-utu mā te pūnaha Kaiāwhina Hapūtanga Matua (LMC) i pūteahia tūmatiti. Ka āraihia nei: ngā tūitoitanga hapūtanga katoa ki tōu LMC i roto i te hapūtanga; ngā whakamātautau ōrite i tūtohuhia tae atu ki te ārahitanga ōrite tuatahi-trimester me te ārahitanga hanga i te 18–20 wiki; tautoko mahi-whānau mai i tōu LMC; me ngā tiaki whai-whānau mō te ono wiki i muri i te whānautanga tae atu ki ngā tūitoitanga kāinga. Ko ngā tiaki ā-hōhipera, mēnā e hiahiatia ana, ka pūteahia mā ngā ratonga DHB (ināianei ko Te Whatu Ora — Hauora Aotearoa). Ka ārai a ACC i ngā utu maimoatanga mō ngā mara ka pūta i te whānautanga. Kāore he utu mō ngā ratonga hapūtanga i pūteahia tūmatiti mō ngā kirirarau me ngā kainoho tūāmuri o Aotearoa. Ko ngā ratonga ā-tūmanako tāpiri — pērā i ngā tiaki rata mātanga hapūtanga motuhake, ngā ārahitanga tāpiri kāore i tūtohuhia ā-hauora, ngā rūma whānautanga motuhake rānei — ka puta ngā utu ā-pūkoro.
