A good reminder. Before 28 weeks settle to sleep however you are comfortable. After 28 weeks settle on your side (either side) and don’t worry about waking up on your back. You cannot hurt your unborn child while you are asleep 😴

From 28 weeks, its important settle to sleep on your side 🤍

If you wake up on your back, don’t stress, just gently roll back onto your side and go back to sleep.

Share this with someone who needs the reminder.

I love what I do, living and working in NW Tassie. Sadly, the two are now no longer compatible. It is with a heavy heart that I will be closing my private practice, at the NW Private Hospital, at the end of March 2026.
Given there will be no replacement for my services for the women of NW Tasmania, this has been a very difficult decision for me.
As a born and bred Tasmanian, I have always been a passionate advocate for the health of Tasmanians. I am also especially invested in Regional Women’s Health care.
You are all aware of the many changes at the NW hospitals in the last 8 years. I have desperately missed my involvement in private birthing over the last 12 months. The current hybrid set up for NW maternity patients, needing care in an operating theatre environment, made it impossible for me to continue with private obstetric practice.
I am privileged to have been a part of this beautiful community, as a specialist doctor for the last 8 years, and prior to that as a trainee. I birthed my own babies here in Burnie and have raised 3 beautiful boys here along with my extremely supportive (some may say long suffering) husband.
I am eternally grateful for the patients who put their trust in me and for the wonderful colleagues who have supported me to practice my craft.
All efforts will be made to accommodate patients already booked for consultation prior to closure. Unfortunately, effective immediately, we are unable to accept new, non urgent referrals. For patients wishing to transfer their care prior to their next/first appointment please contact us on 64301301 or drkim@dobro.net.au
