Planning to have a baby or discovering you’re expecting is a special time, but you might also find that you have more questions than answers.
The team at Epworth Maternity has distilled decades of knowledge and practical tips to create ‘Bump, Birth & Bub’, which is fast becoming an invaluable resource for all parents to be. This fresh approach to pregnancy, birth and those precious newborn weeks is easy to read and it will become your “go to” maternity book.
Birth Suite Nurse Unit Manager, Nicole Paine, says “it’s important to get the right information when you’re pregnant”.
“Families should feel supported and empowered about their pregnancy, birth and newborn care. There is an incredible amount of information online which can be overwhelming. Even well-meaning loved ones can offer advice which is outdated or unhelpful,” Nicole said.
“This book has quite literally been a labour of love for our team. As with everything we do, it’s centred around our patients. A number of our families helped shape the content, while others have shared beautiful, raw moments with us within the book’s gorgeous images.
“We’ve placed QR codes throughout the book as an easy link to our Mobile Midwife videos, available from our Epworth website. These short videos cover topics like nappy changes, baby bath time and lots more.
“Bump, Birth & Bub also discusses the importance of your physical and mental wellbeing. With expert advice from Perinatal Anxiety and Depression Australia (PANDA), we hope to help normalise support for mental health issues, by highlighting warning signs and how to seek help.
“We know that babies don’t come with a handbook but Bump, Birth & Bub might be the next best thing,” Nicole said.
