Shared Pregnancy

With shared care, your GP at Health Hub Hobsons Bay and a hospital maternity team look after your pregnancy together. You see your own GP for most of your check-ups, which gives you continuity of care from before conception to after your baby is born.

Is shared care right for me?

Shared care is usually offered if your pregnancy is considered low risk and you have no health conditions the hospital needs to monitor closely. If the hospital considers your pregnancy higher risk, your care will be managed by the hospital team. The hospital decides your eligibility.
