Many people assume their first visit to an obstetrician happens after a positive pregnancy test. In reality, pre-pregnancy planning can be one of the most valuable appointments you have.

A preconception consultation gives you the opportunity to discuss your overall health, review any medications, identify medical conditions that may affect pregnancy, and make sure you're up to date with recommended vaccinations and screening. It's also the perfect time to talk about nutrition, lifestyle, fertility, and when to start taking folic acid.

Preparing for pregnancy before conception can help reduce potential risks and give your baby the healthiest possible start. Even if this is your second or third pregnancy, your health, age, and circumstances may have changed since last time, making personalised advice just as important.

As an experienced Melbourne obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Steven Hatzikostas provides comprehensive pre-pregnancy counselling and pregnancy care in Melbourne, helping women and couples prepare for a healthy pregnancy with confidence.

If you're thinking about starting or growing your family, we'd love to help you plan for the journey ahead.

Pregnancy brings plenty of excitement, but it's also completely normal to experience moments of worry or uncertainty. Concerns about your baby's health, labour, parenthood, or the many changes happening in your body can all contribute to feelings of anxiety.

While occasional anxiety is common, persistent feelings of stress, fear, or overwhelm shouldn't be ignored. Your emotional wellbeing is just as important as your physical health, and talking openly with your obstetrician is an important part of your antenatal care.

There are many ways to support your mental wellbeing during pregnancy, including building a strong support network, staying active where appropriate, getting enough rest, practising relaxation techniques, and seeking professional support when needed. Every woman's experience is different, and there's no shame in asking for help.

As an experienced Melbourne obstetrician, Dr Steven Hatzikostas believes that comprehensive pregnancy care in Melbourne includes caring for both your physical and emotional wellbeing. We're here to answer your questions, listen to your concerns, and support you throughout every stage of your pregnancy.

Many women think they only need to see a gynaecologist when something is wrong, but regular gynaecological care plays an important role in maintaining your health at every stage of life.

A consultation can help with routine well woman checks, cervical screening, contraception, pre-pregnancy planning, menstrual concerns, pelvic pain, menopause, fertility, or changes that simply don't feel normal. Early assessment often provides reassurance and, when needed, allows treatment to begin sooner.

As an experienced Melbourne gynaecologist, Dr Steven Hatzikostas provides personalised, evidence-based care tailored to your individual needs. Whether you're managing an ongoing condition, planning a pregnancy, or attending a routine check-up, you'll receive compassionate care in a supportive environment.

Looking after your gynaecological health is an important part of your overall wellbeing. If you have questions or concerns, we're here to help.

Ultrasounds do much more than give you a glimpse of your growing baby. They provide valuable information about your baby's development and help your obstetrician monitor your pregnancy every step of the way.

Different scans are recommended at different stages of pregnancy. Early ultrasounds can confirm your due date and check that the pregnancy is developing as expected. Later scans assess your baby's growth, anatomy, movements, placenta, and amniotic fluid, while some women may require additional ultrasounds based on their individual pregnancy or medical history.

Every pregnancy is different, which is why not everyone needs the same number of scans. Your antenatal care is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the right monitoring at the right time without unnecessary testing.

As an experienced Melbourne obstetrician, Dr Steven Hatzikostas works closely with patients throughout their pregnancy care in Melbourne, helping them understand the purpose of each scan and what the results mean for both mother and baby.

If you have questions about your pregnancy scans or your antenatal care plan, we're always happy to discuss them during your appointments.

If you've been pregnant before, you might assume you know exactly what to expect the next time around. The reality is that every pregnancy is unique, even for the same woman.

Your age, overall health, medical history, the time between pregnancies, and even the position of your baby can influence how your pregnancy progresses. Symptoms may feel different, your care plan may change, and you may be offered different screening tests or monitoring than you had previously.

That's why antenatal care is tailored to each pregnancy rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. Regular appointments allow your obstetrician to monitor both you and your baby, answer questions as they arise, and adjust your care if your needs change.

As an experienced Melbourne obstetrician and gynaecologist, Dr Steven Hatzikostas provides personalised pregnancy care in Melbourne, ensuring every woman receives care that's appropriate for her individual pregnancy and birth goals.

Whether it's your first baby or your fourth, we're here to support you with compassionate, evidence-based care every step of the way.

Not all twin pregnancies are the same. One of the first things your obstetrician will determine is whether your twins share a placenta or amniotic sac, as this plays an important role in how your pregnancy is monitored and managed.

There are three main types of twin pregnancies:

πŸ‘Ά Dichorionic Diamniotic (DCDA) – Each baby has their own placenta and amniotic sac. This is the most common type of twin pregnancy and includes all non-identical twins.

πŸ‘ΆπŸ‘Ά Monochorionic Diamniotic (MCDA) – The twins share one placenta but each has their own amniotic sac. This is the most common type of identical twin pregnancy and usually requires closer monitoring.

🀍 Monochorionic Monoamniotic (MCMA) – A rare type of twin pregnancy where both babies share the same placenta and amniotic sac. These pregnancies require highly specialised obstetric care and more frequent monitoring.

Knowing the type of twin pregnancy early helps guide your antenatal care, including the timing of ultrasounds, appointments, and any additional monitoring that may be recommended to support the health of both babies.

As an experienced Melbourne obstetrician, Dr Steven Hatzikostas provides personalised care for women with multiple pregnancies, including twins, offering evidence-based guidance and continuity of care throughout your pregnancy.
