Antenatal Care (pregnancy)

Through your pregnancy, I will come to you! From the comfort of your home, I will walk alongside you and your family while you and your baby grow. My antenatal visits include:

  • Measuring your fundal height, blood pressure, urine analysis and healthy weight gain. Assess your babies position, auscultation of babys heartbeat and measuring their growth.

  • Education and discussion around healthy pregnancy, assessing and treating common pregnancy discomforts, checking your pathology (bloods), referring you to specialist or allied health professional (if required/requested).

  • Perscribing any pregnancy related medications (if required) eg for pregnancy nausea or vomiting. I can also order pathology and ultrasounds as required.

  • Birth and postpartum preparation and education. Discussing your birth wishes, preferences and helping you build your birth plan. Assisting with postpartum planning, adjusting to parenthood and helping guide your support people.

  • 1:1 woman centered care, appointments that are not rushed, with time to answer all your questions.
