A lot is changing and you need to plan for the months ahead. My priority is to keep you healthy and positive, relaxed and reassured every step of the way. Whether you are starting a family, throughout the 1st trimester, 2nd trimester, 3rd trimester, during the final days of pregnancy and once your baby is born.
Starting a Family
If you are trying to become pregnant and it’s taking over 12 months for you to conceive, now’s a great time to meet up. We’ll have a chat about how to stay healthy and happy as you continue trying to conceive.
You want the best obstetrician you can find and I want the best for you. My philosophy is simple – I focus on nurturing healthy mums and healthy babies and I involve partners from day one. I’m here for you personally, every step of the way, preparing you physically and emotionally for the birth and life beyond. To encourage and inspire, advise and inform, empathise and reassure.
I’m a Sydney obstetrician with many years of experience and I’m also a mum, so I understand what you’re going through.
As a new baby is born, I feel very privileged to be there – at your most wondrous, life-and family-changing moment.
I hope you find some really useful ideas here and when you’re ready, come and have a chat. Whether you’re trying to get pregnant, it’s your first baby or fifth, I hope you’ll allow me to be part of your very special journey.
Just Pregnant: 1st Trimester
1 – 12 weeks
Time for your first visit as a pregnant couple.
Congratulations!
You’ll be feeling very excited and perhaps a little apprehensive not knowing quite what to expect – apart from a baby. A lot is changing and now’s the time to plan for the months ahead.
Keeping Healthy: 2nd Trimester
13 to 28 weeks
It’s approximately your second trimester and if you had morning sickness earlier, you may be feeling much better. Learn how to keep yourself and your baby healthy during these vital mid-term months.
Preparing for the new arrival: 3rd Trimester
29 to 40 weeks
You’ll probably be feeling ‘really pregnant’. Lack of sleep and backaches combine with the excitement of preparing for the new arrival.
Any Time Now
37+ weeks
Your baby could arrive any day. Now’s the time to make sure everything’s ready for the newest member of your family.
Once Your Baby is Born
Your bundle of joy has arrived safely!
Congratulations and well done. At your six week visit we will discuss the birth and how you’ve been coping since.
Going home with your baby
CONGRATULATIONS on the delivery of your baby!!
The arrival of a new child is a big event in the life of new parents and the time that follows can bring many highs and lows.
