St George Antenatal Clinic

The Antenatal Clinic provides pregnancy care and continuity of care with a midwife. Consultation with medical officers is available if necessary and ultrasound checks and birthing information is available.

St George Hospital Birth Centre

This is a hospital service that provides care to women who are pregnant and want to have an 'active' birth with little or no drugs for pain relief. Each woman is cared for by one or two midwives throughout their pregnancy, labour and birth and during the first two weeks after the baby is born.

A small group of midwives work in the Birth Centre and are strong advocates of natural and active birth, continuity of midwifery care where the woman and the midwife develop a caring and respectful relationship during this transitional time.
