For mum we check that physically she has returned to her pre-pregnant state, that she is coping ok and answer any questions or concerns she or her support person may have. If a PAP smear is due then we will do it at this appointment if you wish as well as organising contraception if needed. It is also an opportunity to talk about the birth if you wish to. For baby it is a head to toe physical examination including weight, length and head circumference. We also address any concerns about the baby, answer questions, talk about feeding and settling, write referrals if needed and generally make sure that your journey into parenthood is going ok. The 6-8 week vaccinations for baby are not routinely given at this appointment and need to be booked in separately with reception.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"theplus-accordion-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" role=\"tab\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1796\" class=\"elementor-tab-title plus-accordion-header 0 text-left \" data-tab=\"6\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1796\"itemprop=\"name\"\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"width:100%\">Can I bring my support person to the appointments and the classes?<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M143 352.3L7 216.3c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l22.6-22.6c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l96.4 96.4 96.4-96.4c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-136 136c-9.2 9.4-24.4 9.4-33.8 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M177 159.7l136 136c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-22.6 22.6c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L160 255.9l-96.4 96.4c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L7 329.7c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l136-136c9.4-9.5 24.6-9.5 34-.1z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"elementor-tab-content-1796\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix plus-accordion-content 0 \" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1796\"itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\t\t\t\t\t\t> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"plus-content-editor\" itemprop=\"text\"><p>Yes your support person or people are more than welcome at all appointments and classes.\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"theplus-accordion-item\" itemscope itemprop=\"mainEntity\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Question\" role=\"tab\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1797\" class=\"elementor-tab-title plus-accordion-header 0 text-left \" data-tab=\"7\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1797\"itemprop=\"name\"\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span style=\"width:100%\">I'm finding breast feeding hard and don't think I'm producing enough milk, where can I get help?<\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M143 352.3L7 216.3c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l22.6-22.6c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l96.4 96.4 96.4-96.4c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0l22.6 22.6c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-136 136c-9.2 9.4-24.4 9.4-33.8 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-angle-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M177 159.7l136 136c9.4 9.4 9.4 24.6 0 33.9l-22.6 22.6c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L160 255.9l-96.4 96.4c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0L7 329.7c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9l136-136c9.4-9.5 24.6-9.5 34-.1z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div \n\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"elementor-tab-content-1797\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix plus-accordion-content 0 \" data-tab=\"7\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1797\"itemscope itemprop=\"acceptedAnswer\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Answer\"\t\t\t\t\t\t> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"plus-content-editor\" itemprop=\"text\"><p>Our midwives are all very experienced with breast feeding.

Although the majority of people will fully recover, 10% of those affected will die, and 20% will have permanent disability. It can be difficult to identify early and progresses rapidly. It is most common in young children (0-5yrs) and in teenagers (15-19yrs), however it can occur at any age.<\/p><blockquote class=\"text-blockquote\"><p>There are many strains \u2013 A, B, C, W and Y.<\/p><\/blockquote><p>Children in WA are currently vaccinated against meningococcal C at 12 months of age, through the WA immunisation schedule. Because of this, meningococcal C is at an all time low, and meningococcal B has typically been the most prevalent strain. In 2016 there were 6 cases of meningococcal B in WA, and 93 cases in Australia.<\/p><p>There is now a vaccine available against meningococcal B (called Bexsero), but it is not funded on the immunisation schedule, and patients need to pay privately for it (usually around $150 per dose). Depending on age, 2 or 3 doses are required, 2 months apart. It is safe to be given at the same time as other routine childhood vaccinations, and can be given from 2 months of age. If started under 6 months of age, 4 doses of Bexsero is required (3 primary doses and one booster).<\/p><p>Until recently, meningococcal W strain was very rare, and immunisation against W strain was not usually recommended. However the number cases of meningococcal W infection have been increasing over the last few years, and last year there were 12 cases in WA, and 100 cases Australia wide. Available vaccines that include the W strain are called Menveo, Menactra, and Niminrix. These vaccines also contain other strains of meningococcal \u2013 A, C, W, and Y. Again, these vaccines need to be purchased privately, cost around $100, and depending on age, 2 or 3 doses are required.<\/p><p>The decision to vaccinate against meningococcal B and W strain is yours to consider. If you would like any further information, or would like to discuss further, please book to see one of our friendly GPs.<\/p><p>(Reference: <a href=\"https:\/\/www1.health.gov.au\/internet\/main\/publishing.nsf\/Content\/cda-cdi4004a.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.health.gov.au\/internet\/main\/publishing.nsf\/Content\/cda-cdi4004a.htm<\/a>)<\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>  \n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaf Maternity questions FAQ Frequently asked questions On this page you will find the answers to the questions we get asked most often.
