How Frequent Are Birth Complications? 🤱🏽

Most deliveries are smooth — but more than 1 in 10 involve an unexpected event that requires urgent intervention. In those moments, experience matters.

With over 30 years as a neonatologist and paediatrician, Dr Sara Watkin has cared for thousands of newborns — from extremely preterm infants to babies facing serious complications like severe birth asphyxia or undiagnosed genetic conditions. Her depth of experience is key to making calm, confident decisions when time is critical.

Whether your birth is routine or takes an unexpected turn, having someone as experienced as Dr Sara by your side can make all the difference.

📌 Important Reminder:
Fevers are common in children, but knowing what’s normal, and when to seek help, can make all the difference.

A temperature of 38°C or higher is usually considered a fever.

💧 At-home care tips:

A lot of the time, a fever can be managed at home with rest, hydration, and close monitoring. Offer plenty of fluids, and keep your child cool and comfortable.

👉 When to contact a doctor urgently:

- Your child has a fever with other symptoms, like a rash
- Your baby under 3 months has a temperature of 38°C or higher
- Your baby aged 3 to 6 months has a temperature of 39°C or higher

We couldn’t agree more. We’d go further. We say clients (patients, parents) and staff come first because they’re all collectively about our culture, values and commitment. Culture Soup - get the ingredients wrong and the whole broth spoils.

💡 Happy teams = happy customers.
Leadership isn’t about control — it’s about culture. When people feel seen, they serve with heart.
