Antenatal
At 13 Moons Medical, we offer a unique approach to antenatal care beyond traditional check-ups and medical procedures.
As holistic birth and breastfeeding health experts, we understand the significance of pregnancy as a sacred time for both the mother and baby.
We aim to provide comprehensive care that nurtures the mind, body, and spirit, ensuring a healthy pregnancy and a positive birth experience.
Besides being based on the best evidence-based medicine, our antenatal care is rooted in
Indigenous Knowledge systems which acknowledge the sacred mother songlines ™ provide a deep understanding of the emotional, spiritual, ceremonial and physical needs of expectant mothers and their babies.
We want you to feel safe, loved, held and secure.
We believe compassionate care forms the foundation for a fulfilling and empowering journey throughout pregnancy. We aim to support and empower every woman fully, her partner and her baby during this transformative time.
Education is a fundamental aspect of our antenatal care approach. We believe every woman has the right to access accurate, evidence-based information about pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding. Through personalised education, we provide valuable insights on nutrition, exercise, pain management, and coping strategies for labour.
By empowering women with knowledge, we help them make informed decisions about their care and develop a birth plan that aligns with their unique values and preferences.
Emotional support is another essential component of our antenatal care. Pregnancy can evoke various emotions and anxieties, and we strive to create a safe space for women to express their feelings and concerns. Our team offers individual counselling, group therapy, and support from partners or friends. Acknowledging and addressing emotional needs enhances women’s confidence and preparedness for birth.
Physical care is of utmost importance during pregnancy. Our antenatal care includes regular check-ups with our healthcare providers, perinatal bonding exercise and mindfulness sessions. We prioritise self-care and holistic therapies to help women feel more comfortable and relaxed, and reduce the risk of complications during birth.
Breastfeeding support is an integral part of our antenatal care. We recognise the numerous benefits of breastfeeding for both mother and baby. Our breastfeeding experts work closely with expectant mothers to provide education, support, and resources to ensure successful breastfeeding. We are committed to helping women embrace this natural, nurturing way to nourish their babies.
By prioritising compassionate care, education, and support, we empower women to confidently embark on their journey and create positive birth experiences that honour the sacredness of pregnancy and motherhood. We invite you to join our nurturing community and experience the comprehensive care we provide at 13 Moons Medical.
