Understanding the cost of private obstetric care is an important part of planning your pregnancy, and we want to make that as clear and straightforward as possible.

Fees vary depending on the service provided. Medicare rebates apply to many consultations and scans, which helps offset the out-of-pocket cost. A referral from your GP is generally required to access these rebates.

Please note that bulk billing is not available at this practice. Like many specialist services, the level of care, continuity and access we provide, including 24-hour availability and integrated ultrasound, reflects a significant investment in your wellbeing throughout pregnancy.

Obstetric ultrasound is available as a standalone service, including for patients receiving care with another provider or through a public or shared care model.

Referrals for ultrasound can be accommodated where availability allows, with priority given to patients under our care.

Care is available across a range of pregnancy experiences, not only those considered high risk.

Maternal fetal medicine is grounded in a detailed understanding of normal pregnancy. This allows care to remain measured and appropriate, whether your pregnancy is progressing as expected or requires closer monitoring. If circumstances change, care can adapt without disruption.

When it comes to a baby's growth, size really does matter.

Fetal growth restriction happens when a baby is measuring smaller than expected for their gestational age, or when there is changes in the blood flow through the umbilical cord or baby. A detailed ultrasound checking the baby's head, abdomen and thigh measurements, plus Doppler blood flow studies of the cord, brain, liver and uterine arteries, helps us diagnose and manage this closely and confidently.

At Newcastle Obstetrics, we're fortunate to have the equipment and expertise on-site to monitor and manage growth restriction, so nothing is left to guesswork. Care is tailored to individual circumstances, whether a pregnancy is progressing as expected or requires closer monitoring.

Private obstetric care allows you to be seen by the same obstetrician throughout your pregnancy, supporting a more consistent and structured approach to care.

In public models, care is often shared across a team, which can mean seeing different clinicians at different stages. The right option depends on your preferences, your circumstances and the level of continuity you are looking for.

Every pregnancy journey is unique, and we’re here to provide the personalised care and support you deserve. Whether you’re ready to book your first appointment or simply have questions about your options, we’d love to hear from you.

Iron deficiency is another one of those things we monitor regularly during pregnancy. It's something a lot of women don't even realise they're experiencing until it shows up in a blood test.

During pregnancy, your body needs significantly more iron to support your growing baby and the increased volume of blood your body is producing. When iron levels drop too low, it can leave you feeling exhausted, dizzy, short of breath or just generally flat.

The tricky part is that many of these symptoms overlap with normal pregnancy tiredness, which is why routine blood tests are so important. They help us catch it early and put a plan in place before it becomes a bigger issue.

Management depends on how low your levels are. Sometimes dietary changes are enough, focusing on iron-rich foods and being mindful of what helps absorption. Other times, iron supplements or further intervention may be recommended.

If you've been feeling more drained than usual, it is always worth mentioning at your next medical appointment. 🤍

There's always a lot of conversations happening online about birth plans and what the 'right' way to give birth looks like. At Newcastle Obstetrics we don't believe there is one right way and absolutely nobody 'fails' at birth based on their delivery. 💛

Every pregnancy is different and every birth journey looks a little different too, whether that's a vaginal birth, an induction or a caesarean. What matters most to Dr Tanya and our team here isn't how a baby arrives, it's that mum and bub both end up healthy and well.

Our mission is to provide evidence-based obstetric care that is consistent, integrated and responsive, supporting patients and their families with clarity and confidence throughout pregnancy.

Whether you birth with us or not, please remember that when it comes to your body and your birth journey, informed choice should feel like an actual conversation and not just a box to tick.

"Watching a baby take their first breath, seeing the umbilical cord cut, and witnessing the transition from life in utero to life outside the womb never failed to move me. I would bite the inside of my cheek, trying to hold back tears. My mind was blown. I was hooked."

Dr Tanya provides care across both Newcastle Private Hospital and John Hunter Hospital.

Patients with private health insurance commonly deliver at Newcastle Private Hospital. Where earlier delivery or additional support is required, care may take place at John Hunter Hospital, where maternal fetal medicine services are also based.

Every pregnancy journey is unique, and we’re here to provide the personalised care and support you deserve. Whether you’re ready to book your first appointment or simply have questions about your options, we’d love to hear from you.
