In South West Sydney we want to partner with you to provide the best care for you and your family in this important time of pregnancy and birth. The first thing you should do is book in your pregnancy care with your local hospital. All women should have their first appointment at the hospital before 13 weeks of pregnancy. Women with a high-risk pregnancy may need to have their first appointment earlier.
