🌸 Pre-eclampsia Screening in Pregnancy 🌸

Pre-eclampsia is a pregnancy condition that can affect blood pressure, other organs, and the health of both mum and baby. Early detection makes a big difference.

✅ What’s recommended?
Current guidelines recommend that all pregnant women are screened for pre-eclampsia risk in the first trimester. This is usually done with:
• A detailed health history
• Blood pressure monitoring
• Blood tests
• Ultrasound measurements

🩺 If you’re identified as higher risk, your care team may recommend preventative strategies such as low-dose aspirin and closer monitoring throughout pregnancy.

✨ Screening doesn’t mean there’s a problem — it’s about being proactive, reducing risks, and supporting the safest pregnancy journey possible.

At Holistic Women’s Health, we’re here to walk with you through every step of pregnancy, providing evidence-based care and support for your choices. 💜

🤧🤒 Feeling under the weather during pregnancy or breastfeeding? You’re not alone—and yes, you can treat cold and flu symptoms safely.⁠
⁠
Here’s a quick breakdown of what’s generally safe to use:⁠
✔️ Paracetamol for fever⁠
✔️ Lozenges (without iodine or NSAIDs) for sore throats⁠
✔️ Nasal sprays with oxymetazoline or xylometazoline for congestion⁠
✔️ Cough suppressants with bromhexine⁠
❌ Be cautious with cold & flu tablets—pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine can impact blood pressure and milk supply⁠
⁠
A great source for advice is Mothersafe for any pregnancy or breastfeeding related questions, when it comes to medication safety.

Always check with your care provider before taking any medication.

Hello, my name is Arna. I am a registered midwife with five years of experience and a deep passion for supporting women and their families throughout the transformative journey of pregnancy, labour and birth, the postpartum period, and the transition into parenthood. My approach is centred on building strong, trusting relationships and providing care that empowers and supports you every step of the way.

Outside of my professional role, I’m also a mum to two wonderful little ones—a nearly three-year-old daughter and a 16-month-old son—who keep me on my toes! Having experienced the joys and challenges of parenthood firsthand, I truly understand the importance of having a dedicated, compassionate team by your side.

I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the HWH team and look forward to meeting and working with you all!

Happy Mother’s Day — With Love From Your Midwives

Today, we honour the strength, softness, and incredible resilience of mothers everywhere.

As midwives, we have the privilege of walking alongside women as they birth, grow, and mother — each journey as unique and powerful as the next. We’ve witnessed the first breaths, the first tears, and the fierce love that begins long before baby arrives.

To the new mums, the experienced mums, the grieving mums, the hoping-to-be mums — today is for you.

You are doing the most important work there is.
You are seen. You are enough. You are amazing.

With all our love,
Zita & Lucy
Your midwives at Holistic Women’s Health

Today is International Day of the Midwife.
A day to pause, to reflect, and to celebrate.

To the women whose hands I’ve held through contractions and tears,
To the families I’ve stood beside in moments of joy, heartbreak, and everything in between—
Thank you for trusting me.

Being a midwife isn’t just what I do. It’s who I am.
It’s bearing witness to the raw, powerful miracle of life.
It’s honouring every story, every birth, every choice.

Midwifery is ancient, sacred work.
It is holding space.
It is fierce advocacy.
It is listening more than speaking.
And it is love, over and over again.

To my fellow midwives across the globe—thank you for showing up, heart open, every day.
Your hands change the world.

We had Jessi start at HWH with us today. Lucy and Zita have worked with Jessi for many years at NSW Health and we’re excited that she has now joined our casual team!

“I’m a dedicated mother of two—a girl 11 yrs old and a boy 9 years old—and a passionate midwife with over 12 years of experience in nursing and midwifery. I’ve recently returned from a transformative period working in rural communities in the Northern Territory, where I had the privilege of providing midwifery care in some of the most remote parts of Australia. My heart lies in supporting women and families through all stages of pregnancy, birth, and beyond. Midwifery is not just my profession—it’s my calling”

Hi, I’m Zita — an endorsed midwife at Holistic Women’s Health with 17 years of experience.

I have a deep passion for antenatal care and birth, and I absolutely love supporting and educating couples as they prepare to welcome their baby. Alongside Lucy, I run monthly antenatal classes — one of my favourite parts of what I do!

Lately, I’ve also discovered a new love for ultrasound, especially the joy of 4D bonding scans — it’s such a special way to connect with your baby.

Together with Lucy, I also provide personalised postnatal care, either in the comfort of your home or in our clinic.

We’re here to support you every step of the way.
