The mental load in early parenthood is real and it’s heavy.

🧠 Remembering appointments

🧦 Keeping up with the washing

📅 Managing visitors and meal prep

📱 Googling things at 2am

If your brain feels full, that’s not failure, it’s a sign you’re carrying too much alone.

This Perinatal Mental Health Week, we’re reminding new parents:

💬 It’s ok to ask for help

📢 It’s ok to say no

📞 It’s ok to talk to someone

Start with your partner, your GP, your midwife or call PANDA on 1300 726 306 for free support.

You are doing a great job. You also deserve support.

Up to 1 in 5 new mums and 1 in 10 new dads experience perinatal anxiety or depression.

You might feel:

😞 Numb, sad or tearful
⚡ Easily overwhelmed

You are not failing. You are not alone.

Pre-eclampsia is a serious condition of pregnancy marked by high blood pressure and possible organ impact during pregnancy.
Know the symptoms so you can seek help early.

⚠️Symptoms include:

• High blood pressure
• Headaches that are difficult to treat or do not go away
• Swelling in hands, face or feet
• Blurred or changed vision or light sensitivity
• Upper belly pain or nausea
• Shortness of breath
• Sudden weight/fluid gain

Reporting these early are essential.

Talk to your midwife or obstetrician if you notice any of these signs, or if you’ve had high blood pressure before or are expecting multiples.

It is also possible to have pre-eclampsia without symptoms, so if you have questions or you are concerned, contact your midwife or obstetrician.

Early detection = safer pregnancy for you and bub.

🌸 Today we recognise World Prematurity Day – a time to raise awareness of the 1 in 10 babies born prematurely worldwide, and to acknowledge the strength of these tiny fighters and their families.

At Ramsay Health Care, our maternity teams work closely with highly skilled neonatologists, neonatal nurses, paediatricians and midwives to provide specialised care for babies who need a little extra support at the start of life.

To all the parents navigating the journey of premature birth – we see your strength, resilience and love. 💜

Babies feed for many reasons: hunger, comfort, growth. It’s common for newborns to feed 8 to 12 times per 24 hours.

✅ Feeding cues may include stirring, rooting, hands to mouth. Don’t wait for crying

🕰 Some feeds are quick. Some are long. Some are close together

Following your baby’s cues (instead of the clock) helps establish a healthy milk supply and supports responsive feeding.

CMV is a common virus that’s usually harmless but if it’s caught during pregnancy, it may affect your baby’s hearing or development.
Simple hygiene steps can help keep you and your bub safe:

• Wash hands thoroughly for ≥ 15 seconds after handling children, nappies or dummies

• Avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils or kisses on the lips with young children

• Clean toys, bottles and surfaces regularly

Routine CMV testing isn’t standard in Australia, but if you work with young children or feel unwell, talk to your midwife or obstetrician about screening

Prevention is powerful.
These steps help reduce the risk so you can focus on growing your family, safely.

Early labour can feel like a waiting game, but there are simple ways to stay calm and comfortable while you’re still at home.

🌿 Move your body gently

A good latch makes all the difference in breastfeeding. Look for:
✔️ Baby’s chin tucked into breast
✔️ Nose clear
✔️ Lips flanged outward
✔️ No pain after initial attachment
✔️ Rhythmic suck-swallow-breathe
Not sure if your baby is well attached? Your midwife or lactation consultant is always there to help.

🎉 Happy Birthday to Us! 🎉

On 30th October, we celebrate 54 years since Pindara first opened its doors under the ownership of Allan and Gwen Ramsay (no relation to Paul Ramsay, founder of Ramsay Health Care - just a great coincidence!😊).

Over the decades, countless patients have trusted our incredible team to care for them. We’re so proud of everyone who has been part of the Pindara story, past and present and grateful for the ongoing trust our community places in us every day.

Here’s to many more years of caring for the community! 💙

They say it takes a village – and it really does. Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re not coping. It means you’re human.

💛 Ask your partner to share the feeding routine. Nappy changes and burping can take time during feeding too.

💛 Say yes when someone offers to cook

💛 Let a friend hold your baby while you shower

💛 Reach out when you need to talk

Let’s normalise leaning on others. You deserve rest, support and connection.
