Your first visit should occur early in the pregnancy to determine if there are any risks associated with your pregnancy and also to ensure there is time to manage anything that may arise.  Your GP will discuss with you the best timing of the first visit but it is usually around the 8-12 week mark, if you have no other risks.

During the pregnancy you will visit Drew monthly until 28 weeks, fortnightly until 36 weeks and then weekly until delivery.  This may vary depending on the needs of the individual.

Drew is very passionate about his patients care and this does not stop at the delivery of the baby.  For as long as you need Drew’s assistance postnatally he is there for his patients.  To facilitate a smooth transition to motherhood Drew has partnered with Michelle Jackson from Parents 2B to arrange for complimentary home visits.  Michelle, my fantastic and very experienced midwife (for over 20 years) will come out to your home for a complimentary home visit within the first 10 days post discharge.  This is so that Michelle will help you with all things related to early parenthood including:  breastfeeding, basic parenting and newborn sleep and settling.  She will also review any wounds you have and contact me with any concerns. .  Michelle will also keep in contact with you via email or text to continue to help you in any way we can.

Drew has a special interest in urogynaecology and minimal invasive (laparoscopic) surgery and if an operation needs to be performed, he will discuss with you the best approach depending on your condition and also the other circumstances surrounding the surgery. Depending on what is decided, Drew is skilled to perform either or a combination of Abdominal, laparoscopic or vaginal surgery.

Before any procedures are performed Drew will have an in depth discussion with you, with regards to your condition. This will include other management options, the proposed procedure, post operative care and any complications that can arise from the procedure. An long discussion about consent will be conducted with you so that you are fully informed of the benefits but also the risks for any procedure, so you are fully understanding of the procedure and can give your informed consent.

If you have any questions about cost of services then please contact the rooms. Because each woman has different needs and conditions, prices do vary so we are unable to list prices. If any procedures are decided upon, you will be given a detailed account of the costs involved and full disclosure of costs incurred.
