Obstetric Services

We provide:

  • Pre-pregnancy counselling
  • Complete antenatal care with both a doctor and a midwife for both low risk patients and patients with complex medical needs
  • Ultrasound (dating & growth scans)
  • Management of labour & delivery including vaginal delivery, caesarean delivery and VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean)
  • Postnatal care
  • Lactation support
 

Birthing Locations

Dr Russ delivers at Burnside War Memorial Hospital.

In addition to the wonderful in rooms support from Sammy, Burnside also has a team of dedicated hospital based midwives who assist in antenatal education, individualised care throughout labour & delivery and postnatal care of both you & your baby.

Very occasionally it may be necessary to change the hospital we plan for you to deliver at to the Women's & Children's Hospital (WCH). If this is the case you will still remain a private patient under the care of Dr Russ.
