A woman’s pregnancy should be a happy, enjoyable and stress-free time for her and her family. But sadly, not all pregnancies go to plan which is a scary and worrying thought for all expecting parents.
This is an experience some of our Mater Little Miracles parents are all too familiar with.
In Australia, as many as one in four women expecting a baby experience complications early in their pregnancy—from 0 to 20 weeks gestation—including bleeding and other issues.
Previously, if a woman is experiencing complications with her pregnancy, especially when her baby is less than 12 weeks gestation, she has had to either present at a hospital Emergency Department or try and see her GP, rather than being able to go to a dedicated maternity facility.
These experiences are always stressful, often involve long wait times and rarely include consultations with trained obstetricians.
