Congratulations to Katie and Kane✨

Baby Lucas was born earlier this year, and immediately received a very warm welcome by his proud big sister, Alice.

Dr Aleisha shared in the journey of Alice's pregnancy and birth and was delighted to welcome the family back to Berth for Lucas' birth.

There is nothing better than getting to know our families during their pregnancy and postpartum journey, and it is so special when our clients return to share in the birth of a sibling.

Thank you Katie and Kane for trusting Berth with your pregnancy, birth and postpartum care.

🌸 Hayfever + pregnancy

Spring is here, which means hayfever can be particularly troublesome — and pregnancy can make nasal congestion even worse.

Several antihistamines have a long history of use in pregnancy and are considered suitable when clinically indicated.

Common options include cetirizine or loratadine, which are non-sedating antihistamines.

A few simple measures can also help:

🌿 Saline nasal sprays or rinses

🌿 Minimise exposure to your known triggers

🌿 Shower and change clothes after spending time outdoors

🌿Wear sunglasses outdoors to reduce pollen getting into your eyes

🌿 Keep windows closed when pollen levels are high

🌸 Importantly, not every hayfever medication is automatically suitable during pregnancy, so it’s worth checking with your obstetrician, GP or pharmacist before starting a new medication.

Matrescence. The birth of a mother.

🤍 At Berth, we have dedicated a huge amount of thought and care towards your individualised postpartum experience.

🤍 As mothers ourselves, we understand the raw and life changing experience that inevitably accompanies the birth of your baby.

🤍 At Berth, we endeavour to hold the mother, not just the baby.

🤍 Your postpartum begins with a comprehensive four or five night stay at St John of God Geelong in your own private room, with room service meals and your partner present throughout.

🤍 Your Berth obstetrician will visit you daily, providing wrap around continuity, with expert personalised care and the opportunity for debrief around your birth in real time.

🤍 Your Berth midwife will visit you at home, providing dedicated and personalised postpartum support.

🤍 Your personal Berth obstetrician is a just phone call away at any moment, should any complications or concerns arise postpartum.

🤍 Comprehensive pelvic floor physio, lactation, mental health and sleep and settling support form an essential part of your village.

🤍 Your Berth Group provides a ready-made support network of parents and mothers who are living this postpartum together with you. They see you. They get you. They are with you on this journey.

🤍 A six week Berth review with your personal obstetrician ensures every physical, medical, emotional and psychological need has been met.

🤍 Providing an opportunity to reflect on your entire pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience, postpartum care at Berth allows you understand every step of your journey, address any questions you may have, and make an individualised plan for your health and fertility needs into the future.

🤍 We think these are the essentials of postpartum care?

What did you think of your postpartum experience?

How could we do better?

What would you wish to welcome into postpartum experience 🤍

Professor Caroline De Costa is an inspiration to many of us at Berth Geelong.

✨ We were thrilled to have the opportunity to hear Professor Dr Costa speak at the launch of her latest book in Geelong last week.

✨ Professor De Costa is the first female professor of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Australia, training in Ireland at a time when women were refused entry into the obstetric training program in NSW.

✨ Professor De Costa has been a persistent and passionate advocate for women's health, indigenous health and abortion rights for many decades. Professor De Costa was instrumental in introducing medical abortion in this country and has been at the forefront of the fight to decriminalise abortion healthcare in Australia.

✨ As a clinician with over 45 years of experience Professor De Costa has written Australia's first book dedicated to caesarean birth.

✨ Dr Kara has interviewed Professor De Costa for her podcast Pregnancy Uncut and was delighted to be a reviewer of this important book.

✨ Caesarean Birth explores the history, safety, controversies and complexities of caesarean birth, as well as investigating the evolving role of caesarean birth in modern obstetric care.

✨ Thankyou Professor De Costa for a delightful evening and a very thought-provoking and insightful book.

A Berth reunion in Fiji!

Dr Rebecca Mitchell and Dr Madeleine Honner have been working together this week in Lautoka, Fiji.

Dr Mads & Andrea Jones-Price, senior Peri-operative Nurse, traveled over to support the Lautoka Gynaecology team with education and training in minimally invasive surgery.

The endoscopic project, which is in its third year, aims to reduce the morbidity associated open surgery, and improve access to health care for all women and girls in The Pacific.

Capacity building in our neighbouring Pacific communities is an essential part of reaching our United Nations Sustainable Development goals.

To anyone considering contributing education, training or resources, to our under resourced neighbours, we would encourage you to take the plunge. It is such rewarding and inspiring work, which we are privileged to be a part of.

Attendees loved hearing about the options for continuity of care, individualised pregnancy and birth plans, and extended and supportive postpartum stays.

Thanks for having us ! ✨
