Obstetrics

We recommend that you contact us to book your first appointment as soon as you know you are pregnant. Most women will have their first appointment between 7 and 10 weeks for a dating scan where you will see your baby for the first time. Of course, you are welcome to come and see us earlier than 7 weeks if you wish.

Create Health delivers at Waverley Private Hospital, Mount Waverley; Cabrini Hospital Malvern; Jessie McPherson Private Hospital, Clayton and St John of God, Berwick. . Your choice of obstetrician will largely determine the hospital at which you will deliver.
Who do I contact if I need assistance outside of my clinic appointments?

In a medical emergency, call an Ambulance on 000. If you are experiencing symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or fluid loss, contractions, have noticed a reduction in baby’s movements, or you are unwell, please call your hospital directly and the midwives will advise you of the most appropriate course of action.
