Birthing > What if I need an Obstetrician? > What happens if I need an Obstetrician?
As your midwife, I am on-call for you 24/7 from the time you book-in for care. I am on call for your birth and will care for you and support you through your birth experience either at home or in hospital. I will remain your lead care provider through your pregnancy - birth - postnatal experience if you are birthing at home or at Westmead Hospital. I will advocate for you and support you to make informed decisions about all aspects of your care.
An experienced, supportive and caring Specialist Obstetrician provides back-up care for women who are booked to have their babies with me at Westmead Hospital or at home.
If you are not planning to birth at Westmead Hospital, obstetric back-up is arranged via the hospital registrars.
