Polly is not new to being involved in the delivery of babies nor to personally understanding the challenges of pregnancy and parenthood. Originally from rural NSW, Polly is now well settled in Sydney and has three young children of her own. You will meet with Polly several times throughout your pregnancy where she will workshop topics such as weight gain in pregnancy, diet in pregnancy, exercise in pregnancy and community resources. Polly is also very familiar with the various antenatal classes that are on offer and can help you choose the one that will suit you best. What makes Polly a particularly unique and brilliant resource for you is that she currently works as a midwife on the delivery suite at both the Mater and the Prince of Wales Private hospitals. Guided by this first hand experience, Polly is in a great position to be able to help you prepare for your birth experience, at the hospital of your choice. 

Adjusting to being a parent of a new baby can be tough and Polly has your back! She will make sure you have the support and flexibility that is needed to navigate the first few months of parenthood. You will sit down with Polly within one week of having your baby to make sure you are on track and stay that way.  She is particularly passionate about supporting you emotionally and caring for your mental health. She is also a lactation consultant, meaning if you choose to breastfeed, you will have her ongoing support, tips and tricks for as long as you need it.
