IF YOU ARE IN LABOUR
Please call the maternity ward before you come into hospital so we can prepare for your arrival on 07 5530 0726.
It can be difficult to tell when labour has started but you are welcome to call the maternity ward at any time and talk to one of our experienced midwives.
Should you be experiencing strong signs of labour including regular contractions less than ten minutes apart, waters breaking or blood loss, please contact the maternity ward to determine how far labour has progressed. You will be assessed and advised whether to stay home or come to hospital.
During your pregnancy, it is important to contact your obstetrician or the maternity ward without delay if you experience any of the following symptoms:
- Vaginal bleeding
- Ruptured membranes
- Continuous leaking of fluid
- Premature labour prior to 37 weeks
- Unusual or severe abdominal pain
- Blurred vision
- Dizziness
- Regular contractions
It is also important to contact your obstetrician if you have any concerns about your baby’s movements.
As always, in the event of a medical emergency please call 000.
Please contact us if you have any worries or concerns regarding your pregnancy on 07 5532 6444.
For any other health issues unrelated to your pregnancy please contact your general practitioner.
WHEN YOU ARRIVE
The main entry point to the hospital for maternity is via the car park or main entrance.
Your partner may park in one of the designated drop off car spaces, accessed via the main entrance
to the hospital on Hill Street. Once parked, please proceed directly to the maternity ward on level one.

The main entrance will be locked during after-hours, please use the intercom to gain access.

Take the lift to the Maternity Ward on level one, turn left out of the lifts and a midwife or
clerical person will meet you and escort to the Birthing Suites. If you are in strong labour,
please advise the midwives prior to your arrival and you will be met at the main entrance.
