22.01.2022 Dr Staehr is one our Obstetricians and Gynaecologists at NAOG and has been part of our team for 4 years now. She completed her training at both the Lyell McEwin Hospital and the Women’s and Children’s Hospital with an extra year spent in Dublin, Ireland working in Fetal Ultrasound. She is a mother of 2 young daughters, a tennis devotee and loves to plan children’s birthday parties! What are her thoughts about Women’s Health Week 2020? Here at NAOG it is Women’s Health Week e...very week! But it is certainly a wonderful opportunity for women’s health to be put in the spotlight! There are so many things I would love to talk about but today let’s talk more about protecting the perineum! Pregnancy and birth are such an incredible and awe inspiring experience for a couple! They can also take their toll on a woman’s body in many ways and the perineum is in a particularly vulnerable position (the area between the vagina and anus) during a vaginal birth! Perineal tearing is common BUT there are also a lot of things we can do as your health care providers to minimize any potential trauma. Here are some of my top tips for preventing perineal trauma... 1. Preparation. Of your vagina and perineum. Traditionally this was done with perineal massage but there is a great device available now called the ‘Epi no’ which you can use prior to your baby’s birth to help prepare the tissues for a more gentle delivery. 2. During your pregnancy we monitor your baby’s growth to ensure baby is growing appropriately for mum. If baby seems to be overachieving in the weight department, then we can talk about optimal timing of your delivery. 3. Choose an Obstetrician who cares about your vagina and perineum as much as you do! Women’s health week is all about YOU! The most important thing is that you are informed. Educated. Empowered. Choose an Obstetrician who makes you feel safe and confident so you can focus on the most important part. The birth of your beautiful baby. #womenshealthweek #protecttheperineum #lifeasanobstetrician #northadelaideobstetricsandgynaecology #calvarybabies #calvarynorthadelaidehospital #drcasiestaehr #drcarmelcocchiaro #drjeffreyhillen

15.01.2022 As Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Awareness Week comes to a close, it’s important that we take the time to check in with our mental health. With 1 in 5 new / expecting mums experiencing postnatal / perinatal depression, it’s critical that we support those who might be struggling - especially in a year as wild and unpredictable as this one. There is always help available. You can reach out to: The National PANDA Hotline: 1300 726 306 Beyond Blue: 1300 22 4636 or speak to o...ne of us at your next appointment. . . . . . #pandaawarenessweek See more

12.01.2022 Angela is our Accredited Practicing Dietitian who specializes in Maternal and Paediatric Nutrition, and is a Mum of 4 young children. She first started working in Women’s Health back in 2002, as the Antenatal Dietitian at the Women’s & Children’s Hospital - almost 19 years ago! What does she think about Women’s Health Week 2020: What better time to acknowledge how amazing women’s bodies are! Big, small, short, tall - our bodies do incredible things. To feel our best, lifesty...le factors like good sleep, plenty of movement and good nutrition are key. Puberty, pregnancy, menopause and medical conditions all affect the types of nutrients our bodies need to function at our best. There are a range of essential vitamins and minerals needed for human health, but key nutrients like calcium, iron, iodine, folate, vitamin D, and omega 3 fats are especially important for women’s health - and many women don’t get enough! To make sure you’re eating well, aim for more whole foods like vegetables, fruits, whole grains, dairy or calcium fortified plant milks, nuts and seeds, oily fish, eggs and lean meats, or vegetarian alternatives. The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating gives a basic guideline for different life stages, but to get the most personalised advice, see an Accredited Practicing Dietitian. We help you get the most out of your nutrition to meet your health needs, food preferences, and lifestyle - and help women feel their very best! #womenshealthweek #northadelaideobstetricsandgynaecology

10.01.2022 Strolling into the weekend with some post natal love from @edibleblooms.au Congratulations to Allegra for the safe arrival of little Rowan - and your successful VBAC!! (and thanks Dr Hillen for sharing! )

10.01.2022 Today is about celebrating fathers... Our fathers, our grandfathers and the fathers of our children. . I couldn’t let today pass without acknowledging the most amazing father to my children, I could have ever dreamed of. It takes a special kind of man to do what you do; self assured, in charge, firm, patient. The last twelve months challenged you and boy did you rise to it! I couldn’t do what I do, without what you do for our family. Thank you xxx

10.01.2022 Keep an eye out for our biographies as we celebrate #womenshealthweek



07.01.2022 Dr Briony Andrew I am a GP Obstetrician and a Lactation Consultant, and have a strong interest in improving mother-baby well being. As a GP, I have a strong grounding in the vast spectrum of medical problems and preventative care; however, my current focus is on helping families adjust to bringing their baby home. I help them manage feeding issues, unsettled behaviour, and sleep concerns; as well as answering the myriad of questions any new parents have. I love to see familie...s thrive and I know the struggle it can be to get there. Briony’s Top Tips for Parents’ Mental Health. 1: Being a parent to one (or more) young child or baby is more than a full time job. There is no way you can fulfil all your child’s needs, do all the house-hold duties, get some of your needs met and do something else (like paid employment). It takes a village to raise a child, not just 1-2 people. Something will have to give.. I suggest a combination of: a) Reducing expectations b) A redistribution of domestic and parenting tasks between both parents c) Outsource as much as is possible to friends, to family, or pay for it. This may be domestic tasks or child-minding. 2: Days with young children can seem both never ending and too short! If you’re feeling overwhelmed, try and just take a minute to be. Notice the fall of your child’s hair; their smell as you give them a cuddle. Notice the flowers in the garden; the way the leaves rustle in the tree and the sound of the birds. Becoming present in the moment can help ground you and bring a sense of calm. Try to find little pieces of joy in just the simple things. 3: You can’t fill someone else’s emotional bucket if your bucket is empty. You need to take time out for you and not feel guilty about it. It will make you a better mother, partner and person. Replenish your soul and do something that brings you joy. 4: Book in couple-time. Our relationship with our partner is often the last on our priority list after having kids. If couple-time is not prioritised, it will never happen. Life just gets too busy! Book date nights in advance and give yourselves something to look forward to. #northadelaideobstetricsandgynaecology

05.01.2022 Out of our scrubs and scrubbing up alright! Congratulations Hannah we are so proud of you, and thank you Sarah and George for acknowledging the outstanding work our midwives do every day!

04.01.2022 When reflecting on Women’s Health in our current climate there is one thing that stands out to me. After our initial surge of COVID19 in South Australia, there ...has been an influx of women seeking treatment for issues that may have been bothering them for many years. As well as those pregnant with their beautiful COVID babies! Be it endometriosis, bleeding concerns or prolapse, women are choosing this time to take care of their bodies and give themselves the opportunity to improve their health. Which is just wonderful to see! We know that women these days work so hard and try to achieve so much, how can we do it all if our health is holding us back? Maybe this trend is due to the fact that we have a little more time on our hands, certainly no holidays on the horizon or perhaps it is because it is frightening when our choice to have medical care or surgery is taken away from us. Despite the enormous challenges this year has thrown at us, perhaps one benefit will be this. The redirection of our attention inwardly. A shift in focus toward ourselves and our health. A decision to choose ourselves. So one day, when this is all over, women will be healthier, more confident and ready to be the best versions of themselves. So, if you haven’t already, allow yourself to be inspired by Women’s Health Week and join the trend. - Dr Casie Staehr, Obstetrician & Gynaecologist

01.01.2022 Annabel is our accredited Physiotherapist who specialises in woman’s health. She has had an extensive career in woman’s health, spanning over 35 years. Annabel works here at NAOG and in the Maternity Unit at Calvary but has previously worked for many years at the Queen Victoria Hospital and the Woman’s and Children’s Hospital here in Adelaide. She is a mother to 4 adult children!... What are her thoughts about Women’s Health Week? Postnatal recovery always encompasses a wholistic approach to physical and mental wellbeing for a new mum, and my focus will always be strengthening and aiming for excellent pelvic floor recovery over the postnatal period extending to 12 weeks. Postnatally, I like to discuss and focus attention on any symptoms of weakness, the causes, reducing symptoms of weakness and familiarising women with their pelvic floor. For your own note, the pelvic floor muscles are located between the coccyx and pubic bone within the pelvis and support the bowel, bladder and uterus. When contracted, the internal organs are lifted and supported. If weakened after childbirth and/or during pregnancy by supporting the weight of your baby and uterus, pelvic floor exercises will strengthen muscles and improve muscle tone. Postnatal mums can easily familiarise themselves with these muscles and contract them frequently, exercising these muscles while sitting standing and lying! Ideally aim for 5 or 6 sets a day. A few tips! Squeeze slowly and firmly for 5 to 10 seconds. Relax for 5 to 10 seconds. Ideally do not hold your breath. Gradually lift and squeeze your pelvic floor muscles while bracing your abdominal wall as if stopping your flow of urine. Strengthening slowly and gradually should be the focus! #womenshealthweek #northadelaideobstetricsandgynaecology
