Pregnancy Care & Birth Services
OceanMed provides comprehensive pregnancy care, supporting your physical, emotional, and mental wellbeing throughout every stage of pregnancy.
Our experienced OB/GYN team works closely with you to understand your preferences, answer your questions, and guide decisions together. Using an evidence-based approach to obstetrics, we aim to deliver safe, thoughtful care that supports the best outcomes for both you and your baby.
From early prenatal care and informative antenatal classes to delivery and postpartum care, OceanMed provides continuous pregnancy care so you feel informed, supported, and confident throughout your journey.
Babies are delivered in a hospital, with your OceanMed OB/GYN by your side and working closely with hospital specialists to ensure you receive continuous care and access to additional support whenever needed.
From epidural and nitrous oxide to breathwork and acupressure, we’ll support your preferences – and you can change your mind at any time.
Skin-to-skin contact and delayed cord clamping are part of our standard approach when clinically appropriate. We support your feeding choices and aim to keep routine newborn care close, so you and your baby can stay together.
We encourage movement and position changes throughout labour. We’ll help you find what feels right – and offer guidance when you want it.
We take a calm, supportive approach to labour and avoid unnecessary intervention, while closely monitoring you and your baby’s wellbeing.
If you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant, our OB/GYN team is here to support you with thoughtful, personalised care.
You can contact us to arrange your first appointment as soon as you have a positive test or believe you may be pregnant. We typically schedule your first visit at around 7 to 8 weeks from the first day of your last menstrual period. At this stage, we are usually able to confirm the pregnancy with an ultrasound and see the baby’s heartbeat. Our team will guide you through the next steps and help plan your care from the very beginning.
Your pregnancy care is led by our team of experienced OB/GYNs, supported by a dedicated multidisciplinary team. In addition to your physician, our nurses, childbirth educators, lactation consultants and postnatal support team will be available to ensure you receive comprehensive care throughout your pregnancy and after delivery.
Your first visit typically includes a detailed medical history, discussion of your pregnancy and symptoms, and planning for next steps. Depending on timing, this may also include ultrasound imaging and recommended bloodwork. You’ll leave with a clear picture of what your pregnancy care will look like at OceanMed.
