November marks Movember. A time to shine a light on men’s health and start meaningful conversations about wellbeing.

While much of the focus is often on women’s health, it’s just as important to acknowledge the emotional and mental wellbeing of new dads. Parenthood brings big changes, and fathers can face their own challenges when it comes to stress, adjustment, and seeking support.

This month, let’s make space for those conversations and remind every dad that his health matters too.

Join the Movember movement and learn how you can support men’s health at au.movember.com.

Private obstetric care offers a more personal and reassuring pregnancy journey, with continuity from a dedicated obstetrician who truly understands your needs. This consistent care ensures that any potential complications are managed with confidence and attention.

Unlike public hospitals, private facilities provide longer postnatal stays—usually five days or more—allowing you time to rest, establish breastfeeding, and receive expert guidance in newborn care. It’s a nurturing environment designed to support you every step of the way.

To learn more about the benefits of private obstetric care, schedule a free consultation today.

🌱🤰
Following a plant-based lifestyle during pregnancy is becoming increasingly common. And with good planning, it can absolutely be done safely.

A vegan diet can provide many benefits, but it’s important to stay mindful of certain nutrients that are essential for you and your baby’s development. Iron, vitamin B12, calcium, iodine, protein, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids are some of the key nutrients to pay close attention to.

If you’re pregnant or planning to be, speak with your doctor and consider working with a qualified dietitian to ensure your diet supports a healthy pregnancy. A tailored plan and the right prenatal supplements can help keep both you and your baby thriving.

Happy World Vegan Month! 🌿

Weight Gain in Pregnancy

It’s natural to gain weight during pregnancy. Your body is busy growing and supporting new life. But how much is considered “normal”?

For women who started pregnancy at a healthy weight, the range is usually around 11.5–16kg. If you were underweight beforehand, you may be encouraged to gain a little more (12.5–18kg), while women above the healthy weight range may be advised to gain slightly less (between 5–11.5kg, depending on your starting point).

And don’t worry, you’re not growing a 16kg baby! That weight comes from so many amazing changes in your body: your baby, the placenta, amniotic fluid, increased blood volume, a growing uterus, breast changes, and some extra energy stores to support breastfeeding.

Most of the time, you don’t need to “do” anything special. A balanced, healthy diet is the best guide. If you’d like more clarity on what’s right for you, I’d be happy to chat about healthy pregnancy weight gain at your next appointment.

Understanding and Treating Pelvic Pain

Living with ongoing pelvic pain can be exhausting and can interfere with so many parts of daily life. Whether it’s related to an ovarian cyst, endometriosis, an infection, or another condition, it’s important to remember that pelvic pain is not something you should just put up with.

Getting the right diagnosis and treatment can make a world of difference. If you’re experiencing persistent or unexplained pain, speak with your GP about a referral and book an appointment with Dr Hatzikostas. Together, you can begin the process of finding answers and relief.

🌸 How to Choose the Right Obstetrician for You 🌸

Choosing the right obstetrician is such an important step in your pregnancy journey. It’s about finding someone you trust, who listens to you, and who will support you through every stage of your care.

When meeting with an obstetrician, it can help to ask questions like:
🌿 Will you be able to answer my calls if I have questions?
🌿 Will my care be personalised, with choices that suit me and my baby?
🌿 Do you practise evidence-based medicine and explain my options clearly?
🌿 Are you open to discussing your statistics around induction, caesarean births, and other outcomes?

And most importantly — how comfortable do you feel with them?

To help you make that decision, I offer a free, no-obligation meet and greet so you can sit down, ask questions, and see if I’m the right fit for your care.

📞 Call my rooms on (03) 9467 9444 to book your free session.

Menopause and perimenopause are stages of life that half the population will go through, yet many women feel they aren’t spoken about enough.

Knowing the signs and symptoms can make all the difference, helping you feel prepared and supported when changes begin. Some women manage these transitions on their own, while others benefit from guidance and care along the way.

If you’d like support in navigating perimenopause or menopause, please reach out to my office or chat with your GP. You don’t have to go through this stage of life alone. 💛

Today, October 15, families across the world will light a candle at 7pm in their time zone to take part in the Wave of Light. 🕯️
It’s a moment to pause, reflect, and honour the babies who are no longer with us, no matter how far along the journey their lives were.

We warmly invite you to light a candle too, and, if you feel comfortable, share a photo with the hashtags and so the light and love can ripple across the globe.

This evening, our team will also be lighting candles in remembrance, holding in our thoughts every family touched by loss. 💛
