Your Care Journey With Us
At Western Obstetrics, we believe that maternity care should be comprehensive, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. Our Private Shared Care Model is designed to provide seamless support throughout your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.
By combining the expertise of our midwives and GP obstetricians (GPOs) with the specialised care of Dr Charles Armstrong at SJOG Subiaco, we offer a structured and coordinated approach that ensures you receive consistent, high-quality care at every stage and allows you to deliver at SJOG Subiaco, private hospital.
Your care begins with an initial consultation at Western Obstetrics, where we provide guidance on your pregnancy journey and arrange seamless referrals to Dr Charles Armstrong, your private obstetrician. We also offer optional Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) consultations and early pregnancy education.
Throughout your pregnancy, you will have regular check-ups with our experienced midwives and GP obstetricians (GPOs) at Western Obstetrics, in addition to your scheduled appointments with Dr Armstrong. This ensures a structured, coordinated approach to your care, providing continuous support while maintaining your private obstetrician’s oversight.
We help prepare you for labour and delivery by ensuring smooth coordination between Western Obstetrics and your private hospital, SJOG Subiaco. This includes discussing your birth preferences, hospital procedures, and necessary preparations, so you feel confident leading up to the big day.
After birth, we provide ongoing midwifery-led postnatal care with support from our GPOs for up to six weeks postpartum. This includes monitoring your recovery, newborn care, breastfeeding support, and emotional well-being. Should you need further assistance, we offer access to women’s health services to support you during this transition.
Your care continues well beyond the newborn stage, with ongoing GP and Allied Health services available for both you and your baby.
We provide:
- Postnatal check-ups to monitor your recovery.
- Breastfeeding support and infant feeding advice.
- Routine childhood vaccinations to keep your baby healthy.
- Developmental follow-ups for your baby up to 18 months postpartum.
