The information provided in So... You’re Having a Baby and The No-Nonsense Pregnancy, Birth & Newborn Toolkit is intended for general educational and informational purposes only.

These resources draw on my experience as a midwife of more than 25 years and as a mum of five. They are designed to help you feel informed, prepare questions and take an active role in conversations about your care.

They are not a substitute for individual medical or midwifery advice, diagnosis, treatment or assessment. Pregnancy, birth, the postnatal period and newborn care are individual, and your own circumstances may require advice or care that differs from the general information provided in these resources.

Always seek advice from your midwife, doctor or other appropriately qualified healthcare professional regarding concerns about your health, pregnancy or baby.

If you or your baby are unwell, you are concerned that something is wrong, or you believe you may be experiencing an emergency, seek appropriate medical care promptly. In Australia, call 000 in an emergency.

Never delay seeking professional assessment because of information contained in these resources.
