It’s never too early to start planning your pregnancy.
INFORMATION DEVELOPED FOR ACT WOMEN
Women’s Health Matters has developed the following information resources for ACT women.
Having A Baby In Canberra provides comprehensive, local information all in the one place about the options and support available for ACT women (and their partners), from planning for your pregnancy through to the first six weeks at home with a baby. Information is available about birthing options, models of care and the hospitals and facilities available in the ACT and Queanbeyan, as well breastfeeding and post-natal supports available in the community.
Background
In our 2016 Women and Maternal Care in the ACT Consultation Report women told us that they wanted to access information all in one place about the maternity care choices available in the ACT. Having A Baby In Canberra is the result from that report, and was developed in conjunction with maternal healthcare stakeholders in the ACT local community and ACT Government services to ensure that women are aware of and can access local and relevant services and support at the right time in the right place to receive the right care.
