Maternity Associates is a group of independent midwives, each caring for her own clients but working together to offer women on the North Shore and Hibiscus Coast the best possible experiences and care when they are pregnant. The midwife cares for the pregnant women throughout her pregnancy, helping her and her family to decide the type of birthing experience they most desire and planning for this. A midwife will continue to care for the women and baby until four to six weeks after the birth. Midwives care for well women, having well babies, and should any problems arise, will refer women to an obstetrician. At Maternity Associates, an obstetrician is available for a consultation, at no cost to the women being referred. The time spent waiting for this consultation is kept to a minimum. A paediatrician also has a clinic at Maternity Associates to see any baby who may have a problem. Advice on Antenatal classes run by experienced childbirth educators for those parents preparing for the births of their first babies is also available. The entire service at Maternity Associates is aimed at making the transition to parenthood as easy as it can be with expert guidance and advice. Free pregnancy testing is available and when considering options of care during a pregnancy, a free, no obligation information consultation is available. Armed with all relevant information, women and their families can make the best informed choice for themselves. You can find us at: |
