Your Care
Whether you are reading this because you have recently discovered you are pregnant (congratulations!) or are hoping to become pregnant, we can help. An experienced obstetrician and midwife team can be a great support through your journey to motherhood.
At Dr Morris | Sydney Mother & Baby, we provide the highest level of obstetric care, both medical and administrative. All patients receive regular antenatal consultations with a midwife, access to advice, external support when required, plus antenatal breastfeeding education.
Dr Morris also offers his patients a comprehensive range of antenatal and postnatal education classes, to equip them with the skills and knowledge needed for a comfortable pregnancy and birth.
Our practice is fitted with the latest diagnostic equipment, including a 4D ultrasound so you can see and hear your baby. Dr Morris performs an ultrasound at each of your visits, as part of your antenatal care.
Your First Appointment
We recommend booking your initial appointment between the first 7 – 10 weeks of pregnancy. During this appointment, Dr Morris will perform a dating scan with one of our advanced 4D ultrasounds, take your history, discuss birth choices and answer any questions you may have about this exciting time.
Appointments can be made either by phone or email, where our friendly staff will guide you through the booking process and answer any of your questions.
Following this, Dr Morris will see you approximately every 4 weeks up to 28 weeks, fortnightly from 28 to 36 weeks, and then weekly until your baby is born.
