To help you decide between going private or public for your birth, we have a list of questions you can ask each possible provider to make sure you're getting the care you expect! 🤍 Who will manage your pregnancy, a Specialist Obstetrician, GP Obstetrician or Midwife? 🤍 Will you meet the doctor/s that provide care during birth? 🤍 Can you discuss your birth plan with the doctor that will likely be at the birth? 🤍 Where will the birth take place: eg private hospital, public hospital? 🤍 Who is responsible for your care during the birth in office hours? 🤍 Who will manage the birth after hours? 🤍 Will there be shift changes between doctors during your birth? 🤍 Does the doctor who manages the birth see you afterwards in hospital or will it be someone else? 🤍 What is their fee structure and what is included/excluded? 🤍 Do you care for high risk pregnancies? 🤍 If the pregnancy becomes high risk- will you be referred to another doctor? 🤍 If you are referred to another doctor, will you have to pay more?

Have you noticed white little bumps on your newborns face? This is called ‘milia’. Milia in newborns occur because their skin is still adjusting to the outside environment. Milia is quite common in infants and usually resolve on their own within a few weeks to months as the skin matures.

Looking after a new baby is hard for all parents, but it can be harder when you are recovering from a caesarean section! The time it takes to recover from a c-section does vary from woman to woman, but we wanted to give you some tips to help with your recovery in the first 6 weeks: ⚈ Do not lift any weight that is heavier than your baby and don’t lift anything that causes you pain. ⚈ Do your pelvic floor exercises. Even though you had a c-section, your lower abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles will still need strengthening. ⚈ Go for a mild walk every day, not just for physical health- you will notice this has emotional health benefits as well. ⚈ Eat a high-fibre diet to avoid constipation. ⚈ Drink plenty of water. ⚈ Use a wheat bag or hot water bottle on your wound. ⚈ Avoid sex until you feel comfortable. ⚈ Don’t be worried about numbness or itching around the scar, this is normal. ⚈ Avoid driving a car until your wound has healed. ⚈ Keep your wound clean and dry. Call your doctor if you notice signs of infection (such as bleeding, fluid, or drainage; separation around the edges; or increased swelling, redness, or tenderness). Call POGS on (08) 6270 0123 or email: reception@pogs.com.au if you need to make an appointment. #pogs #perth #csection #caesarean #birth

The non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), tests for the risk of Down Syndrome & is done around 10 - 11 weeks of pregnancy. This test can also tell the sex of the baby & the risk of trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) & trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). It can occasionally suggest sex chromosome abnormalities. NIPT testing is about $400 & there is no Medicare rebate. Pre-natal genetic carrier screening is a test that ideally should be done before you fall pregnant or as a part of the 'planning pregnancy' journey. As of 1/11/23, this test has become free for patients who have Medicare, therefore it is offered as a part of standard care at your first visit. Pre-natal genetic carrier screening tests for three genetic conditions: Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy & Fragile X syndrome. Being a carrier for these conditions is considered more common than other genetic conditions, which are numerous but rare. As you may have experienced, our first visit is long & there are many things to cover - so it's important to ask questions & read all the information provided in your POGS folder. 🩷 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎 via the link in our bio.

Pain in childbirth is normal, and it is nothing to fear! ❤️‍🔥 Fortunately, there are a number of natural and medical ways to help manage this pain. We support women in their choices and preferences in pain management, and leaving your options open is usually a wise choice. 🧘‍♀️ Every birth is different and you can use as much or as little of the pain relief options as you desire.

🤍 𝗦𝗔𝗙𝗘 𝗦𝗟𝗘𝗘𝗣𝗜𝗡𝗚 🤍 For the first six months of your baby's life, the safest sleeping arrangement is to have your baby sleep in a cot placed next to your bed, as recommended by the WA Department of Health. Guidelines from SIDS and Kids WA include having babies sleep on their backs in a bassinet or cot in the same room, dressed appropriately without their heads covered, and in a smoke-free environment without toys or positioning devices in the cot. For any additional information or questions about safe sleeping practices, please consult your Midwife or Specialist.

Staying hydrated is crucial during pregnancy. 💖 Drinking enough water helps support your increased blood volume, aids in digestion, and can reduce common pregnancy discomforts like swelling and fatigue. Aim for at least 8-10 glasses of water a day, and remember that hydration needs may increase with physical activity and warmer weather. Tip: Keep a reusable water bottle with you throughout the day to remind yourself to drink up! #pregnancy #healthy #expectingmums #pregnancytips

Welcome to the wonderful world of baby poop! 💩 Your newborn's very first bowel movement will likely be black and sticky, called meconium. This is simply the waste that has accumulated in their digestive system before birth. No need to worry, it's perfectly normal! By day two, their poop should soften up a bit, though still be dark in colour. Over the next few days, you'll see a transition to greenish-brown and finally, a sunny mustard yellow. As the poop changes colour, it will also become less sticky and more plentiful. While newborn poop may not be the most glamorous topic, it's an important part of your baby's health.

Newborn tummies are tiny, and frequent feeding in the early days and weeks helps ensure your baby gets enough milk. 🧑‍🍼 If breastfeeding, expect to breastfeed at least 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period, which means frequent feedings (every 2-3 hours) throughout the day and night. 🍼 Feeding time starts when your baby begins sucking, not when you finish nursing. Cluster feeding, where your baby feeds very frequently for a few hours, is also common and often followed by a longer sleep. In the beginning, you might need to wake your extra-sleepy baby to ensure they get enough milk. Always be guided by your baby's hunger cues. 👶 Call (08) 6270 0123 or email: reception@pogs.com.au for an appointment with POGS or more information. #pogs #pogsperth #obstetrics #baby #whattoexpect #newborns

Regular exercise during your pregnancy can improve your well-being and prepare your body for childbirth. 🧘‍♀️ Aim for 30-60 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days, such as brisk walking or swimming. 👣 Modify your pre-pregnancy routine as needed and listen to your body. 🏊‍♀️ Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water. 🫗 Before starting any exercise routine while pregnant, speak to your doctor about what is safe for you to do, as each individual is different. 🧡 Need an appointment?

Here are some simple ways you can nurture their development during this precious time: 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸, 𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱: This exposes your baby to different sounds and helps them become familiar with your voice. This lays the groundwork for future language and communication skills. 𝗘𝘆𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀: Make eye contact and smile at your baby often. This interaction not only strengthens your bond but also encourages them to follow your gaze, which helps develop their neck and head control. Be mindful of their cues — if they look away, it might be a sign they need a break. 𝗧𝘂𝗺𝗺𝘆 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲: Start with short sessions (1-2 minutes) a few times a day and gradually increase the duration. Tummy time strengthens your baby's head, neck, and upper body muscles, which are crucial for future milestones like holding their head up, crawling, and pulling themselves up. Remember, always supervise your baby during tummy time and always put them to sleep on their back. By incorporating these simple activities into your daily routine, you'll be nurturing your newborn's development and fostering a loving and secure relationship.

𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗮𝗺! Here's what to consider when finding a pram/stroller to fit your lifestyle: 🚼 Newborns require a flat lie-down position for proper development, while older babies might be happy in a more upright seat. 🚼 Choose a pram/stroller with a weight capacity that accommodates your child's growth. 🚼 If you travel frequently, consider a lightweight and easily foldable pram/stroller. Can you fold it with one hand for quick bus trips or car loading? 🚼 If you live upstairs, consider pram weight for easy carrying. 🚼 Thinking of more kids? Investing in a quality, convertible pram might save you money in the long run. 🚼 Research and read reviews before making a purchase! #pogs #pogsperth #pram #stroller #mumlife #dadlife #gearupforbaby
