Pregnancy Care
Pregnancy is generally a time of wonder and excitement; life is being created in every second of every day. You will experience new sensations and emotions that can be unfamiliar and difficult to explain or understand. Remember, this is your pregnancy, your body, your baby and your journey.
We want to support you to feel happy, nurtured and safe. By ensuring your privacy and communicating openly, your pregnancy care will remain focused on you and your baby’s needs. All information and education provided is non-biased and evidenced based, ensuring you can make informed decisions in regards to all aspects of your pregnancy care.
Your antenatal care is provided by Lisa in our private rooms which are close to local shops with customer parking available.
The number of pregnancy visits you have will vary depending on circumstances and need.
The booking visit is a Bulk Billed appointment where we explain our models of care and fees, and will review in depth any relevant medical and/or obstetric history, providing advice or recommendations.
Mother and baby well-being are reviewed at every antenatal visit, this includes listening to your baby's heart beat, measuring your blood pressure and baby growth as well as reviewing and ordering pathology tests or ultrasounds as required.
We focus on optimal nutrition and physical preparation for pregnancy and birth.
A Care Plan visit occurs at 36 weeks in your home. At this visit we encourage you to have purchased or sourced your birth pool and have it set up in your chosen birth space. We will leave our emergency mediations in your fridge, which are stored in a locked tin. Your birth space, wishes, emergency access and support persons role are discussed as well as a transfer considerations form will be made available for you.
