Antenatal Care
Pregnancy planning and conception
If you would like to discuss how you can prepare your body before becoming pregnant or discuss fertility assessment please book in for a consultation.
Antenatal lactation consults
Whether you are a first time parent, or feel it could have gone better previously, a lactation consultation during pregnancy can be beneficial to help you feel prepared to breastfeed your baby. There are certain health conditions which can impact your body’s capacity to produce milk (eg polycystic ovarian syndrome, gestational diabetes, previous breast surgery). Having a breastfeeding plan can help you feel more confident and prepared.
Induced lactation
Milk production can be stimulated if you would like to breastfeed a baby that you haven’t given birth to. It is used in circumstances including surrogacy, adoption, same sex couples and gender diversity. If this is something you are considering please book in early to discuss options.
