Teneille will visit you in your home throughout your pregnancy at a time to suit you! No travel time, long waits at a clinic or dragging the toddlers out with you! The first visit is optional and is designed to be an informal chat (without clinical care), to discuss your care needs and to make sure you are happy with your choice of Midwife before progressing with Continuity of Care with Teneille. Teneille will give you a copy of the schedule of visits which roughly outlines what will be covered at each appointment, however this is very flexible depending on your needs. A longer 90 minute booking in visit will then be arranged soon after the meet and greet to thoroughly take a full history, review pathology and ultrasounds and make a plan for your care. All antenatal visits to the home are approx. 45 minutes in length, except for the 28 week visit which is a 90 minute visit. All visits include information sharing, education, and of course checking on you and your baby. Teneille can provide referrals or escalate and refer your care with your consent at any time if required. All appointments are paid for at each visit, then if Medicare eligible, a rebate will go directly back into your bank account, lowering the cost of each visit.
Congratulations on the birth of your baby! Teneille will visit as often as you need after you have your new baby! Teneille can come daily for the first few days, then weekly up until 6 weeks. The scheduling is flexible depending on the level of support you require! Postnatal appointments include education, breastfeeding/feeding support, a check of you (including wound checks if applicable) and weighing and checking your baby. All appointments are paid for at each visit, then if Medicare eligible, a rebate will go directly back into your bank account, lowering the cost of each visit.
