Pregnancy and early parenthood ask a lot of you. Beyond the physical changes, there’s emotional adjustment, mental load, and the quiet pressure to keep going even when things feel heavy.

If you’ve found yourself feeling low, anxious, or not quite like yourself, that matters. These experiences are more common than many people realise, and support can make a real difference. Speaking openly with your healthcare team is a powerful first step toward feeling steadier and more supported.

If you’re looking for an obstetrician who takes the time to listen and guide you through every stage of this journey, we’re here for you.

Summer often brings picnics, parties, and holidays, but if you’re pregnant, what you eat still matters just as much. Choosing foods carefully and avoiding risks like listeria helps support your baby’s healthy growth throughout pregnancy.

Eating well doesn’t mean missing out. It simply means being informed, making safe choices, and knowing which foods to enjoy with confidence during the warmer months.

You can read more practical tips and guidance on safe eating during pregnancy here:

Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta settles low in the uterus, close to or covering the cervix. The placenta’s role is vital throughout pregnancy, delivering oxygen and nutrients to your baby and removing waste. While its position varies in every pregnancy, problems can arise when it sits too close to the cervix.

Placenta previa is described in levels, ranging from a low-lying placenta that does not touch the cervix, through to complete coverage. Some women experience painless, bright red bleeding, which can appear unexpectedly. Bleeding after in*******se or later in pregnancy can also be a sign.

The reassuring news is that many low-lying placentas move upward as the uterus grows, resolving without intervention. In higher-grade cases, closer monitoring is required to plan a safe birth for both mother and baby. Individual care and careful planning make all the difference.

If you’ve been diagnosed with placenta previa or have concerns about bleeding during pregnancy, support and guidance are available. A personalised care plan can help you feel informed and reassured at every stage.

Deciding between private and public pregnancy care is a big decision for many families, and there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. What matters most is finding the option that feels right for you, your baby, and your circumstances.

To help guide this choice, Dr Steve has shared a clear and helpful overview on his website, outlining the key differences between private and public obstetric care. It covers what to expect, how care may differ, and the factors families often consider when making this important decision.

Living with ongoing pelvic pain can affect far more than just your body. It can impact your energy, mood, relationships, and everyday life. Pain like this is not something to push through or accept as normal.

Pelvic pain can have many causes, including ovarian cysts, endometriosis, infections, or inflammatory conditions. Identifying the cause is an important first step toward relief, and that requires careful assessment and appropriate investigation.

If pelvic pain has been lingering or worsening, it’s time to seek support. With the right diagnosis, treatment options can be explored to help you feel more comfortable and in control again.

For many women, a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC) is a very real and safe option. The right choice depends on your previous caesarean, your overall health, and your individual pregnancy history.

A dedicated appointment gives us the chance to talk through your past birth, answer your questions, and explore what feels right for you moving forward.

Dr Steven Hatzikostas is supportive of women considering a VBAC and believes in informed, personalised care every step of the way.

High blood pressure in pregnancy is more than just a number on a cuff. It’s a condition that needs careful attention and monitoring. If blood pressure rises after 20 weeks of pregnancy, it may be due to gestational hypertension or, in some cases, evolve into conditions like pre-eclampsia, which can affect both you and your baby’s wellbeing.

These hypertensive disorders can increase the risk of complications such as reduced growth for your baby, issues with the placenta, or the need for closer monitoring and timely delivery. A detailed medical history and regular antenatal checks help identify women who may be at higher risk.

Dr Hatzikostas provides personalised care and close supervision for pregnancies with high blood pressure, ensuring that you and your baby receive the support and monitoring you need. If you have concerns about hypertension in your pregnancy or want to discuss your care plan, we’re here to help.

Birth is just the beginning. The weeks after your baby arrives are a time of recovery, adjustment, and plenty of questions. Postnatal care plays an important role in supporting you through it all.

Choosing private obstetric care and giving birth in a private hospital allows you more time to rest and recover in hospital. During your stay, Dr Steve will see you each day, providing continuity, reassurance, and support when you need it most.

Once you’re home, that care doesn’t stop. You’re always welcome to contact the rooms if questions or concerns come up — which is very common in those early days of parenthood.

You can read more about the importance of postnatal care on our website.
