Pregnancy changes so much. Your body, your routines, your relationships, your expectations. With all of that movement, it’s completely normal for emotions to shift too. Joy and excitement can sit alongside anxiety, overwhelm, or low mood.

If you’re finding things harder than you expected, please know you are not alone. Some women experience new mental health challenges during pregnancy, while others may need additional support for pre-existing anxiety or depression. Open conversations early on make a meaningful difference.

If you’re currently taking medication for mental health, do not stop without medical advice. Many treatments can be safely continued during pregnancy, and your wellbeing is essential for your baby’s wellbeing too. Careful, individualised planning helps keep both of you supported.

If things feel heavy, reach out. Speak to your partner, a trusted friend, your GP, or raise it at your next appointment. Support services are also available:

If falling pregnant hasn’t happened as quickly as you hoped, it can feel isolating and overwhelming. Fertility challenges are more common than many people realise, and they can stem from a variety of factors affecting both women and men.

Irregular menstrual cycles, previous pelvic infections, or conditions such as PCOS can all play a role. Sometimes the cause relates to ovulation patterns, s***m health, or blocked fallopian tubes. In other cases, more than one factor may be involved.

The most important step is understanding what’s happening beneath the surface. Careful assessment and targeted investigations help clarify the cause and guide the right next steps. With personalised support and expert guidance, you can move forward with greater confidence and clarity.

If you’d like to discuss your fertility concerns, we’re here to support you.

Dentist’s Day is a timely reminder that looking after your teeth and gums is an important part of pregnancy care. Hormonal changes can make your gums more sensitive and prone to inflammation, sometimes leading to pregnancy gingivitis.

If gum issues are left untreated, they can progress to more significant concerns, and research has shown links between gum disease and complications such as preterm birth and low birth weight. The good news is that routine dental care is safe during pregnancy and plays a valuable role in protecting both your health and your baby’s wellbeing.

If it has been a while since your last dental check-up, this could be a great time to book in and prioritise your oral health.

Autumn in Melbourne brings cooler mornings, golden leaves, and that lovely crisp air. If you’ve recently welcomed a baby, or you’re preparing for their arrival, you might be wondering how to keep them warm without overdoing it.

The secret is gentle layering. Choose soft, breathable fabrics such as cotton or fine wool that help regulate temperature while keeping your baby comfortable. A helpful guide is to dress your baby in a similar number of layers to what you’re wearing, plus one extra layer for warmth.

And don’t forget, swaddles and sleep sacks count as layers too. Keeping an eye on your baby’s temperature and adjusting as the day warms up will help them stay cosy and content through the season.

If you have questions about newborn care or preparing for baby’s arrival, we’re always here to support you.

Those first weeks after your baby’s birth are filled with joy, adjustment, and intense physical and emotional change. Postnatal care isn’t just a routine check-in — it’s an important opportunity to make sure you’re recovering well and adapting confidently to life with your newborn.

Even if your pregnancy and birth were straightforward, it’s common to experience challenges after birth. Things like establishing breastfeeding, managing pelvic floor changes, or navigating emotional ups and downs are all valid topics to address during your postnatal visit. Having personalised professional support can help you feel more grounded and empowered during this transition.

Dr Hatzikostas provides thoughtful postnatal care tailored to your needs, ensuring both your physical wellbeing and your overall adjustment are supported as you settle into motherhood.

During pregnancy, your body works harder than ever, and that means your nutritional needs change too. Even with a healthy, balanced diet, it can be difficult to meet all the extra vitamin and mineral requirements needed to support your growing baby.

This is why a pregnancy-specific multivitamin is often recommended. In some cases, additional nutrients such as folate, iron, vitamin D, or calcium may also be important, depending on your individual needs and stage of pregnancy. Choosing supplements designed specifically for pregnancy helps ensure amounts are both safe and appropriate for your baby’s development.

Dr Hatzikostas provides clear, evidence-based guidance around nutrition and supplementation, so you can feel confident you’re supporting both your own health and your baby’s wellbeing.

Not all gynaecological concerns are serious, but even “benign” conditions can affect your comfort, confidence, and quality of life. Many women experience symptoms that may seem common, yet they’re not something you simply have to live with.

Benign gynaecological problems include issues like painful periods, fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic pain, and other conditions that are non-cancerous but still require proper diagnosis and management. Identifying the cause through careful assessment allows us to create a plan that is right for you — whether that involves lifestyle support, medication, or minimally invasive treatment.

Feeling informed and listened to in your care matters. If you’re experiencing discomfort or changes that concern you, personalised evaluation is the first step towards feeling better.
