Janine O'Brien is a midwife and registered nurse based in Bilgola Plateau, in NSW (practice address: Bilgola Plateau NSW 2107). She helps families around the Central Coast area during some of the biggest moments in their lives, from pregnancy right through to the early weeks after birth.
Her work is mainly focused on women’s health and family care. That can mean regular prenatal check-ups, where things like baby’s growth, your health, and your overall wellbeing are looked at in a calm, steady way. It also includes postpartum care, when recovery can feel a bit up and down and you need practical support, not just quick answers.
Breastfeeding support is also a big part of the care Janine provides. Feeding can be hard at first, and in many cases it takes patience, good guidance, and a plan that fits your situation. Janine can help you work through common issues and feel more confident in day-to-day routines.
Family planning counselling is another service she offers. This can cover what comes next for your health and your family, and it can be a space to ask questions without feeling rushed.
Over time, Janine’s experience has come from hands-on work supporting people through pregnancy, birth recovery, and early parenting. She understands that every pregnancy is different, and what helps one family may not suit another. At times, appointments are simple and reassuring, and at other times they’re about getting through the tricky parts together.
In terms of training, Janine is qualified as both a midwife and a registered nurse. Those qualifications guide how she cares for people, including focusing on safety, comfort, and clear communication.
