In this episode, we explore the key components of antenatal medical care that support a safe and informed pregnancy journey. Covering the first trimester to the final weeks before labour, we discuss shared models of care, medical assessments, birth plans and effective approaches to preventive care to enhance the long-term health of both mother and baby.
In this episode, Dr Sam Manger speaks to Dr Kirstin Millard and Kieran Froese.
Kirstin is an obstetrician and gynaecologist fellow of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists with a Masters of Reproductive Medicine.
Kirstin takes a patient-centred approach to managing gynaecological problems. She believes in working in partnership with her patients to find a solution that meets each woman’s individual preferences and needs
Dr Kirstin is a staff specialist at the Mater Mothers’ Hospital and also provides care through Hatch Maternity.
Kieran Froese (she/her) is an endorsed, clinical midwife and midwifery unit manager living in Meanjin/Brisbane and working at Mater Mothers' Hospital. Her diverse career has been focussed on making high quality midwifery care better accessible to more people. Kieran’s current role allows her to make space for midwives in private obstetric care and develop the role of endorsed midwives in the hospital workforce.
In this episode on antenatal care, both guests discuss clinical processes as they relate to care at Mater Hospitals, which may differ from care offered across Queensland Health facilities.
