There’s no perfect way to give birth or feed your baby.

At Ramsay, we offer guidance, not pressure, so you can make informed choices that feel right for you and your baby.

Whether you’re hoping for an unmedicated birth or an elective caesarean, our team is here to support your journey.

They say it takes a village – and it really does.
Asking for help doesn’t mean you’re not coping. It means you’re human.

💛 Ask your partner to share the feeding routine. Nappy changes and burping can take time during feeding too.
💛 Say yes when someone offers to cook
💛 Let a friend hold your baby while you shower
💛 Reach out when you need to talk

Let’s normalise leaning on others. You deserve rest, support and connection.

The first few weeks after birth can feel like a blur of feeding, crying, and adjusting. Here’s what’s normal to expect:

🩸 Vaginal bleeding (lochia) that tapers over a few weeks
💧 Breast fullness or leaking as milk comes in
😢 Emotional ups and downs – especially in week one
😖 Afterpains or cramps
🤰 A postpartum belly – recovery takes time

Every body recovers differently. If something doesn’t feel right, check in with your GP or midwife. There’s no such thing as a silly question.

A birth plan is a helpful way to share your preferences for labour, birth, and after-birth care.

Here’s what you might want to include:
👥 Support people
💉 Pain relief options (e.g. gas, TENS, epidural)
🎶 Preferences for lights, sounds or scents
✂️ Your views on interventions (induction, forceps, emergency caesarean)
👶 Skin-to-skin, cord clamping or who cuts the cord
🍼 Feeding preferences – breast, bottle or mixed
🧘‍♀️ Any spiritual, cultural or personal requests

Your plan isn’t a contract – it’s a conversation starter. Your team will work with you to adjust as needed, with your safety and comfort at the centre.

We know every parent’s journey is different.
That’s why we take the time to understand you, not just your pregnancy.

From your first antenatal appointment to the moment you meet your baby, our maternity care is designed around you.

We’ll ask what matters to you.
We’ll listen without judgement.
We’ll tailor care to your needs, whether you’re hoping for a calm birth or a planned caesarean.

Because this isn’t just any birth. It’s your birth.

13/10/2025

After birth, your baby’s instincts are strong. If placed skin-to-skin, many newborns will naturally seek the breast and begin to feed in the first hour.

This first feed:
🤱 Helps regulate your baby’s temperature, heart rate and breathing
🌿 Encourages bonding and early milk supply
🍼 Supports a calm and confident start to breastfeeding

Your Ramsay midwife will support you with that very first feed. There’s no rush, just connection.

R U OK? Day reminds us that conversations about mental health matter every day, not just once a year.

Checking in with a colleague, friend or family member and really listening can make all the difference. Sometimes, that simple conversation is the key to opening the door to the support someone needs most💬💛
