Dr Anneliese Perkins

Dr Anneliese Perkins I am an Adelaide Obstetrician & Gynaecologist with special interests in Obstetrics and ultrasound.

I am excited to be focusing on my passions of Obstetrics and Ultrasound. My rooms are based out of the Ashford Medical Centre, only a few short steps from the Ashford Delivery Suites. I offer longer appointments and focus on engagement and communication. I am able to offer dating, reassurance and low risk growth scans in my rooms. I continue to offer Specialist ultrasound services at Adelaide Women's Imaging. My Background:
A Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, with special interests in Obstetrics and Ultrasound, I completed my medical degree at the University of Adelaide in 2002. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Brisbane where I worked at Mater Mothers Hospital while completing my specialist training at several hospitals throughout Queensland. Given an opportunity to broaden my experience further, I returned to Adelaide working in Maternal Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, it was during this time I was awarded my Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Having a strong passion for this field of work, I am currently undertaking my Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound while continuing to provide Specialist Medical Ultrasound services at Adelaide Women’s Imaging. As a mum of two, I always strive to deliver the very best outcome for mother and baby.

🏥 “Create Sustainable Support Systems” - this is more than a theme, it’s our medical responsibility!

In my practice, sustainable breastfeeding support means:
🔹 Prenatal preparation - connecting you with the Ashford Breastfeeding Class and certified lactation consultants
🔹 Delivery planning - advocating for your preferences
🔹 Postpartum follow-up - coordinating with lactation experts to address challenges early
🔹 Quality referrals - linking you with the best IBCLCs and ongoing support resources
🔹 Long-term coordination - ensuring continuity of expert care throughout your journey

We need “a warm chain of support for breastfeeding” that spans “across generations, geographical boundaries, and social layers.”

Every healthcare provider has a role in normalizing and supporting breastfeeding. When we work together - patients, families, and medical teams - we create the sustainable systems every family deserves. 🤝

Thank you for trusting me with your care. Your success is my success! 💕

💊 “Can I take this medication while breastfeeding?”

This is one of the most common questions I receive! The good news: most medications are compatible with breastfeeding.
My approach:
• Review all medications during pregnancy and postpartum visits
• Use evidence-based resources (LactMed database, Hale’s ratings)
• Consider timing, dosage, and baby’s age
• Weigh benefits vs. risks

Your physical and mental health matter for both you and baby. We can almost always find safe solutions! 🩺

💼 Back to work? Know your rights and medical needs!

Your doctor can provide documentation for:
• Lactation accommodations under federal law
• Pumping schedule recommendations based on your milk supply
• Guidelines showing that expressed milk needs remain consistent between 1-6 months
• Medical necessity letters for extended breaks if needed

Medical tips for working moms:
• Maintain your pumping schedule to prevent engorgement/mastitis
• Stay hydrated and nourished
• Don’t let work stress impact your milk supply
• Gradual transition back to work when possible

Your employer is legally required to provide reasonable accommodations. I’m here to advocate for your health needs! 💪

👩‍⚕️ Let’s talk about normal vs. concerning breastfeeding symptoms:

Normal in early weeks:
• Engorgement lasting less than 24 hours when milk “comes in”
• Baby fussiness around 6-8 weeks (often growth spurts)
• Initial ni**le tenderness (should improve with proper latch)

When to call your doctor or the hospital:
• Fever >38 degrees (possible infection)
• Severe, worsening breast pain
• Signs of mastitis (red, hot, swollen breast areas)
• Baby losing weight or showing signs of dehydration

Early intervention makes a huge difference! I’ll connect you with expert lactation consultants who can provide specialized support, and we’ll work together as a team to address any concerns quickly. 📞

👶 The “Golden Hour” - Why skin-to-skin matters medically

Immediately after delivery, I encourage uninterrupted skin-to-skin contact because:
✅ Stabilizes baby’s temperature, heart rate, and breathing
✅ Promotes early breastfeeding initiation
✅ Enhances maternal-infant bonding hormones
✅ Supports responsive feeding patterns from the start
✅ Reduces newborn stress hormones

Unless there’s a medical emergency, we can delay routine procedures to prioritize this crucial bonding time. Many babies will naturally crawl to the breast and begin their first feed during this period.

This isn’t just about breastfeeding - it’s evidence-based medicine that benefits all babies, regardless of feeding plans! 💕

“The calm before the most beautiful storm 🤍

Sitting here in the labour ward at Ashford Hospital, surrounded by these gorgeous blooms and that perfect ‘New beginnings’ sign - sometimes the most profound moments happen in the quiet spaces between contractions.

Every delivery teaches me something new about patience, strength, and the incredible miracle of bringing life into this world. These flowers remind me that beauty can be found even in the intensity of labour and delivery.

To all the amazing families I have the privilege of caring for - your trust means everything. And to my fellow healthcare workers who make these new beginnings possible every single day 💙
