This home grown dahlia inspired me with the spirit of Harmony Day this morning and so I share its beautiful, orange symmetry with you all and wish us all more harmony xo

Maternally Assisted Caesarean Section
This photo beautifully captures the moment, the village, the many hands and hearts coming together to make this happy birth story possible. And then the renewed pleasure of meeting baby Ava again at her postnatal visit. Magic ✨(and a lot of hard work!)

Little Lily made my ovaries squeak at her recent postnatal visit, whilst Xavier has grown into a sweet older brother. It’s been a privilege to look after Grace in both these pregnancies, complicated by preeclampsia. Despite the challenges, two term, healthy adorable babies 😍🙌

Handsome, sleeping Nicholas and his mum paid me a visit recently after an elective Caesarean for placenta praevia. It still humbles me to be remember what a lifesaving procedure it is for women and babies.

Whilst women’s health remains underfunded by both Medicare and Private Health Insurers, there are plenty of people seeking to take advantage of our unique health needs and vulnerabilities. If you think you need help navigating the perimenopause>menopause transition, speak to a qualified, experienced women’s health focused GP or a passionate specialist Obstetrician & Gynaecologist. Say no to the noctors!

Lovely cartooning colleague Judy Horacek has posted this photo from her local pharmacy .
If this AI-imagined doctor or digitally-jooshed actor in a white coat gets you into a pharmacy where they try to sell you 'menopause' supplements and herbal stuff, ask to see the studies proving that particular formula does anything for brain fog, severe hot flushes, libido, rage, incontinence, muscle-building, collagen in your skin or 'belly fat'. Such studies do not exist. They are getting away with false claims and dodgy marketing. BEWARE anyone advising you on health who is also selling you something.

It’s been a big week but today I presented evidence to the South Australian Government’s Select Committee on Health Services in SA about matters very dear to my heart - the provision of excellence in women’s healthcare by Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Immense gratitude to for giving voice to these important issues 🙏

Always special to be able to mix business with pleasure and support a worthy cause. I was especially proud of the beautiful humans that are my family 🤩
