This Remembrance Day, we take a moment to honour and remember the courage, service and sacrifice of the brave men and women who have served our country.

Lest we forget.

CMV is a common virus that’s usually harmless but if it’s caught during pregnancy, it may affect your baby’s hearing or development. Simple hygiene steps can help keep you and your bub safe:

• Wash hands thoroughly for ≥ 15 seconds after handling children, nappies or dummies
• Avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils or kisses on the lips with young children
• Clean toys, bottles and surfaces regularly

Routine CMV testing isn’t standard in Australia, but if you work with young children or feel unwell, talk to your midwife or obstetrician about screening

Prevention is powerful. These steps help reduce the risk so you can focus on growing your family, safely.

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.

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.

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.
