THIS IS Your PREGNANCY AND POSTPARTUM WELLNESS CLINIC

Individual midwifery services to compliment your primary care

We understand that everyone's pregnancy and postpartum journeys are unique

This is why at New Life Midwifery we created our Pregnancy and Postpartum Wellness Clinic as an opportunity for women to access some midwifery care and support who have their primary care provider elsewhere and are looking for extra specialised support.

Our team of specialist private midwives are available to provide individual services for both antenatal and postnatal. Older children, partners and support people are always welcome.

This clinic will run at the beautiful Liberty Women’s Wellness Hub in Springfield one day per fortnight, from July.

Midwife Alex will be offering antenatal care including birth preparation, pregnancy health and well being check, referrals and postpartum planning.

Midwife Jannie will be offering postpartum care including lactation consultant support and mum and baby well-being checks.
