Know My Midwife

At North West Private Hospital, we’re well-known for our excellent ‘Know My Midwife’ Program.

The program gives mums-to-be and their partners the very best in midwifery continuity of care through the coordination of regular antenatal appointments, support during labour and birth, as well as postnatal care up to six weeks – in collaboration with your chosen participating obstetrician (check with your obstetrician).

At your regular Know My Midwife appointments, we provide education and you’ll have the opportunity to talk through questions in a relaxed environment.
