🌟 Expecting and Curious About Ultrasounds? 🌟 ​ Hey mums-to-be! 🤰 If you’re navigating pregnancy, you might be wondering about the ultrasounds you may have. Ultrasounds are a wonderful way to connect with your baby and get valuable information about their development. 💕📸 ​ Here’s a quick rundown of the most common ones:​ 1. Dating Scan (6-8 weeks): This early ultrasound helps confirm your due date and checks for a heartbeat. It’s an exciting first glimpse!​ 2. Nuchal Translucency (NT) Scan (11-14 weeks): This scan measures the fluid at the back of your baby’s neck to assess the risk of chromosomal conditions, like Down syndrome. It’s also a great time to see your baby moving around! ​ 3. Anatomy or Morphology Scan (18-22 weeks): A detailed scan to check the development of your baby’s organs, limbs, and overall growth. They can also check the position of the placenta, volume of amniotic fluid and your pelvic anatomy. You’ll also likely be able to determine if you’re having a boy or girl if you want to know!​ 4. Growth Scan (28 weeks and beyond): Your doctor or midwife may recommend you have additional scans in the third trimester, especially if there are any concerns or complications. This may be to monitor your baby’s growth and position, or to assess your placenta’s position, amniotic fluid volume or cervical length. ​ Remember, each pregnancy is unique, so your doctor will tailor your scan schedule to your needs. Plus, if your Obstetrician has an ultrasound machine in their clinic, you may get to see baby at every appointment too! ​ Feel free to ask your healthcare provider if you have any questions or need more info!​ #PregnancyJourney #UltrasoundScan #MumsToBe #AustralianMums #BabyBump

There are many pain relief options to support you through your labour and birth. Here is an overview: Natural techniques Many women find comfort in using natural techniques to manage labour pain, including breathing and relaxation techniques, affirmations, massage, water immersion, movement, and position changes all have been proven to help with pain management. This video goes into some of these. Love and support A partner or support person can provide you comfort with massage, soothing words, position changes and emotional support. This type of support has been proven to ease pain and reduce the need for interventions! Nitrous Oxide Nitrous Oxide is a safe and easily adjustable pain relief option. It is self-administered by breathing it in during contractions, providing temporary pain relief and promoting relaxation. Sterile Water Injections Sterile Water Injections involves a injecting a small amount of sterile water under the skin on the lower back. The injections can cause a brief but intense stinging sensation and then wears of completely. It often provides immediate pain relief with no effect on the mother’s consciousness, mobility and labour progress and no effect on the baby. Morphine Morphine is an opioid medication that can be used to relieve labour pain. It is usually administered by injection and can provide longer-lasting pain relief. However, it may cause drowsiness, so it is often used in the early stages of labour or after childbirth. Epidural An epidural is a regional anaesthesia technique that involves injecting medication into the space around the spinal cord. It can provide highly effective pain relief while allowing you to remain awake and actively participate in the birth. It is best to discuss your pain relief options with your obstetrician so that you can understand the benefits and risks involved in each and to also discuss your birth preferences.
