Pregnant in Perth, Now What?

Normally, the first health professional you see in your pregnancy journey is the person who confirms it: a GP. When you first discover that you’re pregnant, a preliminary discussion with a GP can guide you on the various paths of pregnancy care and birth, establish continuity of care and make access to further support from Lactation Consultants, Women’s Health Physiotherapists and Obstetricians that much easier. GPs at Baby Steps are skilled at managing all common pregnancy medical issues and can provide unbiased advice to help you choose the pregnancy path for you.

Antenatal pregnancy care at Baby Steps

Growth and position of baby

Baby’s heartbeat

Mother health check and wellbeing

Mother’s blood pressure

Head position and descent into the pelvis

Blood tests (iron, thyroid, vitamin d, etc.)

Mother’s fluid levels

They can also help manage any regular medical issues and medications, facilitate shared antenatal care with your hospital or Obstetrician, help you choose a private Obstetrician or Midwife, and gently hand you back to your chosen hospital or Obstetrician for late pregnancy care and delivery. Baby Steps also has specialist Obstetricians on hand for help managing more serious medical complications of pregnancy.
