Maternity Care: Supporting You Through Pregnancy
Maternity care is essential for monitoring your health and your baby’s development throughout pregnancy. From confirming your pregnancy to ongoing check-ups, our team provides personalised guidance every step of the way. Early appointments typically include a full health assessment, discussion of your medical history, pregnancy education, and necessary investigations like blood tests and ultrasounds.
Our maternity care programs are designed to put you at the centre, providing personalised, evidence-based guidance to ensure the best possible outcomes for you and your baby. We welcome questions, consultations, and support to make your pregnancy journey safe, informed, and empowering.
What is maternity care and why is it important?
Maternity care includes all health services during pregnancy, birth, and postnatal recovery. It ensures both you and your baby remain healthy, identifies potential risks early, and provides education and support throughout your pregnancy journey.
How do I choose the right type of pregnancy care?
Your choice depends on your health needs, preferences, and circumstances. Options include continuity-of-care midwifery programs, GP shared care, or hospital-based care. Your GP or midwife can guide you to the most suitable program.
What happens during my first pregnancy care appointment?
Your initial appointment typically includes a full health assessment, review of your medical history, pregnancy education, and necessary tests such as blood work and ultrasounds. This helps create a personalised care plan for you and your baby.
Can I have continuity with the same midwife throughout my pregnancy?
Yes. Programs like the Midwifery Antenatal Postnatal Service (MAPS) and Midwifery Group Practice (MGP) provide continuity of care with a dedicated midwife throughout pregnancy, labour, birth, and postnatal recovery.
