Our maternity unit is supported by a highly trained team of obstetricians, paediatricians, midwives, lactation consultants, neonatal and maternity nursing staff who are all dedicated to you and your baby's clinical care at any time of the day or night.
Delivery Suite
The Maternity Unit's modern Birthing Suite has 3 separate birthing rooms which are fully equipped with the latest technology to ensure a safe and comfortable environment during childbirth. All of our birthing rooms feature an ensuite, television, fridge, comfortable recliner chair, and iPod docking station/stereo.
Our individualised care during childbirth means that our experienced midwives are dedicated to attending to all your needs throughout childbirth and immediately after the birth of your baby.
Foetal Monitoring Service
To monitor your baby's heart rate and uterine contractions a Foetal Monitoring Service is offered within the Maternity Unit. This service is managed by highly skilled and experienced midwives.
We offer a Cardiotocograph (CTG) clinic should you and your baby require specialised monitoring.
Special Care Nursery
Our team of paediatricians and experienced neonatal nursing staff care for unwell and premature babies (from 32 weeks) in our Special Care Nursery. Our modern nursery provides specialised equipment and reduces the likelihood of you and your baby being separated.
There are many reasons why a baby requires admission to a Special Care Nursery. They may have been born prematurely (before 37 completed weeks) or are unwell. This means that extra nursing care is required and this extra care is provided in the Special Care Nursery within Waverley Maternity at Waverley Private Hospital.
We understand the admission of your baby to the Special Care Nursery environment may generate concern and many questions. As the care and comfort of you and your baby are our primary concerns, we are pleased to provide important information on our Special Care Nursery Services.
