Antenatal Care & Obstetrics

Hamilton Medical Group provides antenatal care for expectant mothers, working closely consultation with Western District Health Services Maternity Clinic at the Hamilton Base Hospital. Located within the grounds of the hospital, our practice is well placed to provide accessible and coordinated pregnancy care for local families.

Some of our GPs hold additional qualifications and have experience in obstetrics, allowing them to provide antenatal care and deliver babies at Hamilton Base Hospital. This shared care model allows patients to receive much of their pregnancy care locally, reducing the need to travel to larger regional or metropolitan centres.

Our antenatal services include regular pregnancy check ups, monitoring maternal and fetal wellbeing, coordination of routine pregnancy screening and testing, and preparation and planning for birth. Our GPs work closely with midwives, obstetric specialists and hospital staff to support coordinated care throughout each patient’s pregnancy.

We understand that pregnancy can bring a wide range of questions and concerns, and our doctors take the time to discuss each stage of pregnancy, from early pregnancy through to birth planning and postnatal care. Support is also available for common pregnancy-related health concerns, along with guidance on nutrition, lifestyle and general wellbeing throughout pregnancy.

Following the birth of your baby, our GPs continue to provide postnatal care for both mother and baby, including monitoring maternal recovery, supporting breastfeeding, and conducting early childhood health checks.

If you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, please contact Hamilton Medical Group to discuss your antenatal care options and arrange an appointment with one of our GPs experienced in providing pregnancy care.
