Triple B Babies

Our goal is to provide ongoing support to the community, the medical fraternity and other allied health care professionals in the understanding, prevention and treatment of emotional unrest during pregnancy, childbirth and the transition into parenthood.

Our Antenatal and Postnatal Care Programs

Triple B Babies offers a range of programs focused on strengthening the emotional awareness and health of new parents during conception, pregnancy and transition into parenting.  Programs are available on either an individual or group sessional basis.

Our programs are designed to assist those who feel ...

  1. overwhelmed by their pregnancy

  2. distress at not falling pregnant

  3. anxious about birthing       

  4. their relationship is suffering

  5. they won't cope with a new baby

The need for educational programs to assist in preventing and reducing the incidence and impact of emotional distress for the pregnant woman, her partner and her family is well researched and documented. 

Triple B Babies recognises that both the pregnant woman and her partner can be vulnerable during gestation and postnatally.  By bringing together the clinical and research skills of psychology and hypnosis, Triple B Babies provides individuals and couples with the knowledge and care necessary to support themselves and each other on their journey into parenting.

Having a baby can be a most exciting time filled with love, joy, delight and surprise.  In contrast, it can also be a time accompanied by stress, frustration, anger and disappointment.  Strong emotions are common.  For most people their approach to parenting evolves in response to the challenges of their "on the job" training as changes begin to occur in their -

      physical and emotional wellbeing

      relationships

      work

      social life

Perinatal care has been traditionally hallmarked in the community by numerous antenatal programs focused on the physical well-being and preparedness of the pregnant woman to birth her child.  Despite emotional difficulties being recognised as a significant problem for both parents of newborns, few programs are tailored specifically to provide the level of understanding and practical skill necessary for new parents to achieve positive outcomes on a day to day basis.
