We’ve launched our seasonal baby wall for 2026!

After the success of last year’s bee-themed wall, this year the name of every baby born at St-Andrew's-Ipswich Private will be added with a symbol representing the season they were born in:

☀️ A sun for summer
🍂 A leaf for autumn
❄️ A snowflake for winter
🌷 A flower for spring

Parents love seeing their baby’s name on the wall, and we hope it will continue to bring a spark of joy to the families coming through our maternity unit.

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:

💭 Constant worry
💤 Exhausted but unable to sleep
😞 Numb, sad or tearful
⚡ Easily overwhelmed

You are not failing. You are not alone.

This Perinatal Mental Health Week, let’s make space for real conversations – and remind each other that support is available.

Start by talking to your GP, midwife or maternal child health nurse.

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.
