Abstract
Telehealth in pregnancy (where women have some pregnancy appointments with their midwife or doctor by video call instead of face-to-face) has become common in Australia since the COVID-19 pandemic. We will carefully evaluate the use of some telehealth for pregnancy care in a large study to make sure it is safe for pregnant women and their babies, understand the cost implications, and importantly, understand what women think of telehealth and how it affects their experiences and access to care.
