The Pregnancy Journey Maps provide local service information for women planning on giving birth in Wangaratta and Wodonga. There is also information for other health services: Yarrawonga Health, Yackandandah Midwife Care Program, and Benalla Health.

These services include the Community Midwife Program (CMP) and the Antenatal Clinic/Shared Care options.

They also provide information about what to expect when receiving care during pregnancy.

There are different approaches available to providing care in a way that will meet each person’s needs.
Breastfeeding will be different for each mother and baby, and it can be a journey that triggers many different feelings. Changes will happen to you and your baby at differing times. Understanding this can help breastfeeding become more worthwhile for you and your baby.

Some resources are available to help map the journey for each mother.

The Breastfeeding Journey Map helps you see what to expect along the way.

The most important thing to remember is to listen to the baby’s needs.

The Breastfeeding and Work – Handbook was developed to help employers and senior management to create a supportive environment for all families returning to work after having a baby.

The Family Friendly Checklist – Wangaratta prompts businesses to consider some of the factors that families take into consideration when choosing a venue to eat or shop.
“From Bump To Beyond” is a mobile app launched by Gateway Health and Northeast Health Wangaratta for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers and young families in the Ovens Murray region.

The app provides the pregnancy and breastfeeding journey maps and features an interactive map that lists all available baby feed and change locations across Albury/Wodonga to Mansfield.
