Women who undertake shared maternity care will see their shared maternity care affiliate for most of their antenatal care.
Eligibility
Shared maternity care is usually restricted to low-risk pregnancies. However, on occasions, a woman who does not have a low-risk pregnancy is still able to undertake shared care with enhanced care (called modified shared maternity care), with individual care plans developed by a hospital obstetrician.
Schedule of care
The birth of the baby and immediate postnatal care takes place at the Women’s. Doctor visits, blood tests and ultrasounds performed outside the hospital or one of our community clinics may incur a fee.
The patient information sheet on Shared Maternity Care at the Women’s provides general information for women, including the schedule of visits. This schedule may vary depending on individual needs.
Additional information is available for:
- women who are Rh positive
- women who are Rh negative
- women who have had a previous caesarean
These documents can be downloaded and printed for patients.
