Looking after you throughout your pregnancy

Antenatal Care

Congratulations on your pregnancy! This is such a precious and exciting time with so many decisions to make.

Your first appointment with us will be at around 8 weeks of pregnancy. By this point you will have already seen your GP for your referral to see Dr Burnet, and may have been sent for some early tests.

We will see you regularly throughout your pregnancy, and the team is readily available to answer any questions you have in between appointments. We have extensive experience managing high-risk pregnancies, pregnancy complications, twins and multiples, as well as typical pregnancies.

The big day!

Birth

I attend the following hospitals for birth:

Mater Hospital Sydney
North Shore Private Hospital
Royal North Shore Hospital (Public hospital option)
Prince of Wales Private Hospital

In the weeks leading up to your estimated due date, you will have been coming in for frequent appointments where you will have discussed birth options, your birth preferences, and any questions or concerns you have leading up to the big day.

I am eager to explore your options with you and have experience in many different types of birth including:

Caesarean Section (including Maternal Assisted Caesarean)
Vaginal Birth
Water Birth
VBAC

Postnatal Support

Congratulations on the arrival of your little one! This is a time of learning and adapting as you adjust to life as a parent. Our team is here to help! In addition to your standard 6 week postnatal check with Dr Burnet, we offer:

Midwifery and lactation consultancy for help with sleep, feeding and settling
Women's health physiotherapy (once cleared with Dr Burnet)
Consultation with Dr Burnet earlier than the 6 week mark if you are concerned about your recovery.

To book your six week check or enquire about midwifery or lactation support, please contact the clinic directly by phone call, SMS or email.

What should I bring to my first appointment?

We are looking forward to meeting you! Please bring your GP referral as well as any results you have for this pregnancy. Please also have your Medicare card and Health Fund information with you (digital or physical is fine). Finally, please bring any questions you have and make sure you ask them! Some patients find it helpful to write these down ahead of time and bring their list with them.

Yes! We do ask you limit guests to 2-3 so we can fit everybody. But we would love to meet your loved ones and have them share in this special time with you.

Yes. Your GP referral contains important medical information Dr Burnet requires to look after you. Additionally, without a referral, you are not eligible for any Medicare rebates.

Congratulations! Please book an appointment with your GP. They will usually request preliminary tests and write a referral for you to see an obstetrician. Your first appointment with us will be at about 8-10 weeks.
Can I bring someone to my appointment with me?

Of course. We understand you might be nervous! Please feel free to bring a support person with you. They are welcome to sit in the waiting room or go into your appointment with you. This is your choice!
