Have you and your partner checked in on your mental health?

This is just a friendly reminder to check in with your partner. At the same time we thought we would take the opportunity to explain how we check in with you using the EPDS!

As always please reach out if you have any questions or concerns and we are always here to give support if needed 💕

Yvonne with her two beautiful boys 🥰 With baby

Yvonne with her two beautiful boys 🥰 With baby Isaiah taking us all by suprise with his early arrival it is so good to see everyone looking so happy and healthy! Well done Yvonne 👏💕

James delivered both of my sons: Xavier who is now almost three, and Isaiah 2 months corrected. I had a very different pregnancy and birth experience both times. Xavier came at 1am on my due date, while Isaiah came 11 weeks early, totally unexpected! It took even James by surprise, we still don't know what has triggered his early arrival but here we are. Both times, James and his team had been kind, empathetic, and the utmost professional. I am so grateful to have had been under the care of James and his team. I can't recommend them enough."

Caring for the lovely @dusicaaa___ for the birth of both her boys has been an absolute pleasure for our team! As always we are so thankful for the kind words from our patients and keeps us going with the right energy and attitude. Enjoy your lovely family Dusica 🩵🩵

"This was my second pregnancy led by Dr James and his team, and we couldn't have been happier. First was with our son Ivan and now with Kosta. With some early on complications and pre term delivery, we knew we were in safe hands with James and the team. The nurses at Hurstville private were also amazing every step of the way. We are so grateful for the amazing care we received!"

Lining up the DUCKS. Another rewarding week in Obstetrics. I say for every 100 families there are 100 different stories. In the office this morning lining up our ducks. I love it and will never stop trying to do our very best. Grateful for every story shared.🐣🐥🐤🦆

We are sure many of you by now have met our new midwife Natalie who has been working here on Tuesdays or you may have seen her in the maternity ward where she also works. She is a wonderful addition to our team and brings experience, intelligence and kindness (our favourite combo)!

Thank you @belinda_sara87 for sharing these sweet

Thank you @belinda_sara87 for sharing these sweet photos of baby Sienna with us and for your kind words! We feel so happy to have cared for you and all the mums we have come through our doors. We hope you are enjoying your family, congratulations again and we hope to see you again with those butterfly kicks for baby number 2!

-What was the best thing about your pregnancy and/or birth? "Having a healthy pregnancy and feeling the butterflies in my belly. Knowing that my little princess was kicking and moving about, brought so much joy and happiness. I am already missing this feeling.
We can’t thank Dr Opperman and his team of angels enough for our smooth pregnancy journey. From the first consultation all the way to the delivery, Dr Opperman was professional, compassionate, his calmness and expertise made me feel confident and well cared for. We will miss our visits with the ever so amazing Dr Opperman. We can't forget to mention and extend a further thanks to Alex, Kathy and Gina for being so dedicated and such caring professionals."

-Is there something you would like to share with other Mums? "Try to enjoy every moment of the newborn journey as time goes by so fast and our babies grow up too quickly."

-How did you learn about James’ practice?
"Dr Opperman was highly recommended to me by my GP four years ago. Way before my pregnancy journey even began. I wanted to be prepared early when the day came 🙂 So grateful for Dr Opperman."

It’s great to be back.😀 Here with Lauren, our lovely Alex and her warm support and baby number 3. Beautiful Molly to complete the family.
We agreed that it was sad not to be having any more visits in the rooms but in Lauren’s words: “ It would be even sadder to be back with number 4!” 🤣🤣

Hi my name is Hannah and I help James manage his Instagram page 😊 I have spoken to many of you and you have been kind enough to share your pregnancy and birth experiences so now it's my turn!
In June I had my second baby with James, my beautiful baby Margot was born via emergency c-section. We tried for a V-BAC but it wasn't meant to be for a few reasons but James as we experienced the first time and as everyone always says kept us updated and informed of our choices and situation so even though things weren't straightforward we were never worried!
The best thing about my pregnancy was feeling more connected to Margot and excited to have her compared to my first pregnancy. I couldn't imagine how it would feel being a mum the first time so knowing the joy and love to come the second time was a lot more exciting for me.
We owe so much to James for looking after me and my family again!

A Great holiday together. Memories locked in. Time

Sweet Aria Bettina Giordmaina who was so wanted and longed for by her family 💓 It was such a joy to welcome her into the world!

-What was the best thing about your pregnancy and/or birth?
"As James knew our history and the struggles we endured over the last 3 years to have our second child, once we were pregnant he offered us extra appointments to ease the anxiety we were feeling and to give us the reassurance that everything with the baby was ok. We are forever greatful for his patience throughout our whole pregnancy."

-What has been the hardest transition to being a new mum?
"Transitioning from child to 2 was difficult, as a breastfeeding mum. Trying balance a newborn and providing attention to my son has definitely been challenging."

3.If you have more than one child, was your postpartum experience similar or completely different?
"My postpartum experience has been different, my first time we were in induction for 2 days before James decided it was time for a c-section. I think because that wasn't the plan, I felt a disconnect for a few weeks.
This time we had a planned c-section, it was relaxing and we knew what was happening the whole time.
It has been an easier postpartum experience as a result and as this was my second C-section, i understood how to take care of myself better."

-How did you learn about James’ practice?
"James delivered my nephew, my sister couldn't highly recommend James enough!"
