24.01.2022 Hello! Kathryn from @vivaphysio here This Monday I’m running a workshop called The Final Weeks, Preparing your Body for Labour and Beyond via Zoom. I’d love to invite you, or any of your family and friends who might find it of interest. It’s so important to understand what’s ahead of your body physically in labour, and getting the pacing right in your body in the coming weeks, which are often called the Forth Trimester can set you up for long term success.... Did you know that more than half of women will experience a pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence after birth? (Hagan et all 2004). And that the forth trimester is crucial in preventing that? In my experience, I find the first six weeks after birth is the time where very little specific information is given to women, but women are often wondering what is safe and not. In this workshop, I’ll cover tips fo the birth itself and then really specific information about how to get the most out of your first 6 weeks - getting the balance right, preventing neck and shoulder issues which are so common from feeding the baby and a few other gems there. The session costs just $40 and can be booked through this link https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/ASP/main_enroll.asp I’m really excited to help you on your journey into motherhood and I can’t wait to see you there! Best Wishes, Kathryn. #forthtrimester #birthskills #labouranddelivery #birthtips #pregnancyphysio #preparingforbirth #preparingforlabour #bodyafterbirth

19.01.2022 This Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day we remember with you each of your babies - named and un-named, lost recently or long ago. We invite you to submit ...a message to your baby or to post their name below so that we can acknowledge their life as well as your love. This year, we'd like to also take this opportunity to send our support to parents like Victoria & Danny, whose grief has been impacted by COVID-19. Sands are here 24/7 to help you find a way through. Read Victoria & Danny's story here: http://ow.ly/CWxD50BSP41 For more information on Sands' October 15 activities, head to our website: https://www.sands.org.au/oct-15 #october15 #15oct #PAILA

19.01.2022 We have some good news (finally) With today's further easing of restrictions we are so happy to let you know that partners/support people will be able to attend 'select' appointments at the OGCG rooms From Monday Nov 9th your Obstetrician will talk to you at your next appointment (in rooms or telehealth) and plan those visits with you.... We need to maintain social distancing and have a waiting room capacity of 9 people at a time so please make sure you are still attending alone until you have discussed which visits someone can attend with you. There may be times where your partner/support person will still need to wait outside or leave the waiting area to allow for patients to sit in the waiting room. We know you're as excited as we are! Please be patient whilst we safely work our way through this new change. #melbourneobstetrician #pregnancyappointment #femaleobstetrician #welcomeback #covidupdate

09.01.2022 Today is World Kindness Day After a tumultuous year that kicked off with the devastating Australian bushfires and continued with the coronavirus pandemic, people are looking for ways to lift their spirits. Today is a day which should do just that!!... While kindness should be carried out every day, World Kindness Day is being promoted in Australia as a mission to set a new world record of 20,000 kind acts logged in one single day. The Kindness Factory founder Kath Koschel says: Kindness doesn’t need to be a grand gesture; the smallest act can have the greatest impact on someone’s life. As a group OGCG has donated to #walktober in support of the @gidgetfoundation to acknowledge world kindness day and logged our act of kindness on the kindness factory website @kindnessfactory #onesmallact #20kin2020 #melbourneobstetrician #femaleobgyn #francesperryhouse #worldkindnessday2020 #drnataliakhomko #drleahxu #drjeanwong #drperridyson #drrobinthurman #drvinnikaur #drstephenlee

03.01.2022 WHAT IS SHARED CARE? Shared care is an arrangement between a hospital and an Obstetrician at OGCG where your pregnancy care is shared between the two. You will have most of your antenatal appointments with your Obstetrician at OGCG and the others with the hospital.... Most hospitals that offer shared care do so only for women with low-risk pregnancies. THE BENEFITS OF A SHARED CARE PREGNANCY Some women like shared care because it means they can receive most of their maternity care from an Obstetrician whom they are familiar with, or who works close to their home or workplace, or the hospital is close to their home or workplace. This means consistency in your care. It also means that the same Obstetrician who has cared for you during your pregnancy can continue to care for you and your baby in the weeks after birth. If English is your second language, your Obstetrician might speak your first language and be more aware of your cultural needs. Obstetricians are also trained to deal with other relevant issues such as monitoring your mental health during the pregnancy and in the postnatal period and the provision of contraception. MAKING A SHARED CARE ARRANGEMENT If you are interested in shared care pregnancy, make sure your Obstetrician and your chosen hospital offer this service. Obstetricians who regularly participate in shared care will already have a relationship with one or more maternity hospitals. You will require a GP referral to your chosen Obstetrician and the hospital. OGCG currently has shared care arrangements with The Royal Women’s Hospital Parkville, The Northern Epping, The Mercy Heidelberg and The Sunshine Hospital. Our secretaries Emma, Tahnee, Jannelle and Eleanor are ready to help and guide you through the shared care process and will be happy to answer all your questions 9329 6668.

02.01.2022 We'd hoped to have better news to share with the recent easing of some restrictions around COVID, however at present the rules are the same in regards your appointments in the OGCG rooms. You must wear a mask and attend your appointments alone. We are happy for your support person to phone into your appointment or to FaceTime/video call while you're in the OGCG rooms. We hope that we have better news soon.
