Sometimes, labour needs a little help to begin and that’s where induction may be recommended for your birth.

Some reasons for induction might include:

🩺 A medical condition
📆 Going significantly past your due date
💧 Waters breaking without labour starting

Induction may involve:
Taking steps to start your labour, the method of induction is based on an assessment completed by your obstetrician.
Your care team will explain what’s involved, monitor you and your baby closely, and support you through the process.

🧘 You can still use pain relief, birth positions and comfort measures during induction.
📣 Ask questions and talk through your preferences – your voice matters.

Today we celebrate the dads, partners and father figures who are there from those very first moments, in the birth suite, during late-night feeds, and through every nappy, cuddle and giggle.

Whether you're a first-time dad, a seasoned parent, a same-sex partner, a solo parent support person or a loved one stepping into the role, your presence, love and support mean everything.

Happy Father’s Day from us 💙

This Women’s Health Week, we’re putting the spotlight on you.

Whether you’re pregnant, recently given birth, or deep in the newborn or baby raising trenches, your wellbeing matters. A lot. Here’s some gentle reminders to put you first:

✔️ Rest when you can, even 10 minutes counts
✔️ Move your body gently, in ways that feel good
✔️ Book your 6-week postnatal check
✔️ Talk about pelvic floor health
✔️ Ask about contraception if needed
✔️ Check in on your mental wellbeing
✔️ Drink water (yes, this is your reminder!)
✔️ Say no to things that drain you
✔️ Make space for something that’s just for you

Because caring for yourself is caring for your family too. 💜

Did you know that your baby can recognise your voice even before they’re born? Studies show that babies can hear sounds around 25 weeks gestation, and your voice is one of the first they’ll recognise after birth. 🗣👶

🧡 The Golden Hour – Your First Moments Together 🧡

The golden hour is the magical time just after birth when your baby is placed skin-to-skin on your chest.

It’s more than just a cuddle — it’s a powerful bonding moment that helps regulate your baby’s temperature, heartbeat, and breathing, while also boosting breastfeeding hormones and calming both of you after birth.

At Ramsay Maternity, we honour this sacred time. Wherever possible, we delay routine checks to give you uninterrupted skin-to-skin — because those first moments matter. 🤱

✨ Skin-to-skin
✨ Bonding and connection
✨ Support for breastfeeding
✨ Calm for you and baby

Your golden hour is your time — soak it all in. 💛

It’s normal to feel emotional after childbirth, but if you’re feeling overwhelmed or persistently down, you may be experiencing more than just the baby blues. It’s important to talk to someone about your feelings.

Our maternity team are always here to talk and can point you in the right direction for further support 💬.

Ramsay Mental Health services are also widely available – including psychology, psychiatry and inpatient care. Visit ramsaymentalhealth.com.au to find out more.

Let’s get real—parenthood & postpartum comes with a few surprises. Here are some things that no one told you about:

✨ Your baby will cry—a lot (and that’s totally okay)
✨ You’ll be obsessed with baby photos… and still feel like you’re missing some
✨ After birth, your body might feel like it’s been through a mini marathon (hello, recovery!)
✨ Sleep deprivation hits hard—but cuddles make up for it all
✨ Baby wipes will become useful for more than just wiping a baby’s bottom 😅
✨ The after-birth cramps can be quite painful – especially with second+ babies
✨ You might still look pregnant for weeks. Be kind to yourself and your body ❤️
✨ Newborns grunt like tiny dinosaurs at night. Totally normal but very noisy!
✨ Postpartum hair loss hits about 3 months post birth
✨ You may cry at ads, socks and the weather. Hormones are no joke but it gets better!
It’s a crazy, wonderful journey. You’ve got this, Supermum 💪

If you need extra support there are some wonderful resources available including Red Nose, COPE and your maternal child health nurse and their network.

Small, mighty, and packed with goodness—colostrum is often called "liquid gold" for a reason.

This thick, yellowish milk is your baby’s first food, produced in the first few days after birth. It's full of antibodies, protein, and nutrients to help protect your newborn and build their immune system.

✨ Just a few drops at a time are enough to nourish your baby
🤱 Some parents choose to express colostrum before birth (especially if baby might need extra support after delivery—your midwife can guide you)
Every feed, no matter how small, counts 💛

Talk to your midwife about colostrum collection and breastfeeding support during your hospital stay.
