March at Mater Maternity!

We had an even split between boys and girls in March.

It was a month for multiples - an amazing (and very cute) four sets of twins were welcomed into the world.

Our tiniest baby was a wee 1,920g (that's 4.2 pounds in the old scale) and our bonniest bub was 4,680g.

Beginning of the month was the busiest, with 12 bubs making their arrival on 2 March.

International Women’s Day is a chance to recognise the women who show up for other women in some of life’s biggest moments.

Our midwives and special care nurses do work that is skilled, steady, emotional and often unseen, supporting mothers, babies and each other, every day.

Today, we’re proud to celebrate a team of women supporting women, with expertise, compassion and extraordinary care. 💜

It’s Allied Health Professions Day, so we’d love you to meet one of the friendly faces, leading the team supporting mums on their postnatal journey. 💜

This is Brittany, our newly appointed Allied Health Manager.

We’re so proud to have Brittany leading the way!
