Family Assist
The right start for you and your baby
Pregnancy and childbirth can be daunting particularly for first time mothers. Family Assist can help right from the start with information, education, online assistance and the support of experienced midwives.
The Family Assist program provides:
■ regular contact from experienced midwives
■ phone-in and dedicated email services to midwives
■ comprehensive books on pregnancy, birth and your new baby, and
■ online help and information available at any time.
The program midwives have extensive experience in neonatal, labour, delivery and postnatal care. It’s comforting to know you’ll have someone to turn to during this important time for you and your family.
We’ll contact you at regular intervals, throughout your pregnancy right up to your child’s first birthday, to help answer your questions and provide information on topics such as:
■ progress of your pregnancy
■ common complaints
■ eating well for you and your baby
■ exercise
■ explanations of standard tests and procedures, and
■ baby care.
We'll even help you celebrate the birth with a special gift. Family Assist offers extra support when you need it the most and is completely free.
