Wondering what amount of alcohol is safe when you’re trying to conceive?

There’s no known safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy and it is recommended to limit your intake when you’re trying to conceive as it can negatively impact fertility. Less is best!

On , we're raising awareness about a critical health issue that can affect anyone, at any time. Sepsis is a life-threatening condition, but with early recognition and treatment, lives can be saved.
At Ramsay Health Care, we're committed to providing the highest standard of care to protect our patients from sepsis.

Let's work together to spread knowledge and ensure everyone knows the signs:
• infection
• confusion
• rapid breathing
• and extreme discomfort.

We understand the importance of staying connected and checking in with those around us. On RUOK Day, we encourage you to take a moment to ask, “Are you okay?”

Whether it’s a friend, family member, or colleague, a simple conversation can make a real difference. Remember, it’s okay to ask for help, and it’s okay to offer it.

Curious about the differences between public and private maternity care?

While our private maternity suites offer a hotel style stay, the real distinction lies in the care you receive. With private maternity care through Ramsay Health Care, you have the freedom to choose your hospital and obstetrician, building a trusted relationship throughout your journey. In the event of complications or uncertainty, having a dedicated obstetrician provides personalised reassurance and expertise. You’ll also enjoy a longer stay with us, up to 4-5 nights, ensuring there is time for us to support and empower you in your early parenting journey.

Explore how we support our patients and the amenities we offer by visiting the link in our bio.

We understand the importance of feeling comfortable with your caregivers during your pregnancy journey. That's why we offer the option for you to have your own doctor dedicated to your care. Having familiar faces by your side can help you feel more confident and relaxed during this special time. Your comfort and peace of mind are our top priorities. Learn more about your journey to motherhood in the bio.

This Women's Health Week, we are proud to celebrate the theme 'Your Voice. Your Choice.' 🌸
