Our Pregnancy and Antenatal Care services at Dural Family Medical Practice are here to support you and your baby throughout your pregnancy and afterwards. With a focus on personalised care, your team of GP's will offer regular check-ups and evidence-based advice at each stage, from pre-conception planning to post-partum care.
Please also have a chat with your GP if you are struggling to fall pregnant, have experienced miscarriage, or if you have experienced birth trauma or any perinatal mental health concerns. We are committed to helping you prepare for a safe labour and delivery, as well as being here for the entire journey. We are always available to confidentially explore any concerns around conception options, post-natal mental health, breastfeeding, lactation and bonding with your baby.

Childhood. What a tender precious season in life. If you’re reading this and you are a parent or caregiver, well done and good work! It is no small feat to raise a child with all the challenges that the twenty-first century can throw at an infant, child or adolescent nowadays in a busy, post-pandemic world – physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
