Continuity of midwifery care is suitable for all women, including those with complex and high-risk pregnancies, wanting care from a known (primary) midwife. A primary midwife will care for you throughout your pregnancy, labour, birth and after you have had your baby.
If you have existing or pregnancy related health concerns you will be referred to medical and allied health appointments as necessary. Birthing care is provided in the hospital Birth Suite by the primary midwife working collaboratively with the medical team if needed.
Postnatal care is provided in the postnatal ward for those women and babies requiring a longer stay.
The primary midwife will also visit you at home after you have had your baby.
This service is offered by Centenary Hospital for Women and Children.
