25.01.2022 Adrianna and Dean McNamara drove from Ayr to Townsville in the early hours of last Sunday morning to welcome their second baby boy Jaiah into the world. This lovely couple were under the care of Dr Sally Aubrey throughout their pregnancy journey and were welcomed by Jess, Tamika and Dr Kurinji Kannan on weekend cover. Unlike most, baby Jaiah was born exactly on his due date! Perfect timing. This very strong and determined mama rocked her VBAC! Go team!!

09.01.2022 When you’re going through childbirth for the first time there are a lot of things you can expect from the experience. Finding your life’s true calling isn’t usually one of them. But that’s how Carly Bilson had her light-bulb moment to become a midwife. https://www.matertsv.org.au/our-stories/carly-bilson

07.01.2022 Name trends over time Do you think names from the 50's and 70's will make a come back in popularity?

06.01.2022 For Jess Bainbrige, there was never any option other than becoming a nurse and midwife. All I wanted was to be a ‘baby nurse’ when I was a child, she said. After finishing high school Jess headed straight to James Cook University to complete her Bachelor of Nursing Science and a Graduate Diploma of Midwifery, picking up some experience in the Neonatal Unit at the Townsville University Hospital along the way.... https://www.matertsv.org.au/our-stories/jess-bainbridge #IYNM #Midwives2020
