Maternity

Every baby’s birth is unique - our caregivers are here to support you and your doctor to meet your personal birthing and care needs. We provide a extensive range of maternity and neonatal services.

Pregnancy can be a wonderful and exciting time but it can also be an emotional time which might present some doubts and questions - especially for first-time parents.

Choosing to have your baby at Hawkesbury Hospital has never been so exciting with the introduction of a new private maternity service to rival Sydney’s best.

Our care is centred on ensuring you feel respected, supported and encouraged throughout your pregnancy and during and after childbirth.

We are with you as you navigate the special hours, days and weeks after the birth of your baby.

Breastfeeding helps babies gain the best start in life, catering for all their nutritional needs for the first six months.

Parents often need a wide range of support and guidance when it comes to preparing for the arrival of their new baby, particularly if it is their first.

Some newborn babies need extra care, particularly in the first month after their birth. They might have been born prematurely or are unwell and need specialised medical support.

Perinatal depression and anxiety, often referred to as postnatal depression, can begin during pregnancy, immediately after birth, or in the weeks or months after childbirth.
