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 Wome

n'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.

Can you remember the first time you held your baby?
That moment is different for everyone. And yet somehow, it stops time the same way for all of us.
Erin and her beautiful boy Angus came in for their postnatal visit this week — her very first baby — and we just loved every second of it. 🤍
So proud of you, 🌿
Tag a mum who deserves to hear that today. 💛

The audacity. Every doctor you’ve ever had has lost sleep over a patient. The invisible workload of medicine is real — and so is the dedication behind it. We do this because we care. Full stop.

Postnatal visit with Tiffany, Jack and the utterly perfect Billie 🤍 One of our Ardrossan families — and if you know, you know, the country mums are something special. So grateful you made the trip in to see us. Billie girl, you are so very loved and we cannot wait to watch you grow 🌾 Tiffany Clarke

Postnatal visit with the wonderful Tary and the absolutely delicious Alexander 🤍 This little guy arrived and immediately had us all wrapped around his tiny finger. Tary raises free range organic eggs on her farm and sells them to restaurants around Adelaide — so not only does she grow the most beautiful things, she’s now added Alexander to that list 🥚🌿 Welcome to the world little one 🤍

Bonnie sent me this little gem of me and Alwyn and it’s such a nice distraction while I sit on the labour ward on a Saturday doing what we do best — patiently waiting 👶🏼🤍

Postnatal visits go one of two ways — you either cry a little or you eat baked goods. Susan from made sure we did both 🧁🥹 Meet the absolutely perfect Sonny — no notes, zero complaints, just the best little human. Welcome to the world Sonny 🤍

The internet will tell you that if you just believe hard enough, stay calm enough, breathe right enough — you’ll have this beautiful, drug-free, intervention-free birth.

And some women do. And it’s wonderful.

But here’s what I saw this week alone:

A woman birth her first baby with a comb, a pine cone, and a TENS machine. Calm. In control. Absolutely radiant. 🌿

And another woman — who had a difficult first birth — come back for her second with an induction and an epidural, and leave feeling like that was the birth she always deserved. Powerful in a completely different way. ✨

Both were wins. Both were right. Both were her choice.

Here’s what I keep thinking about: we all know that periods are different for every woman. One person barely notices hers. Another is on the floor with a heat pack for three days. We don’t judge that. We just accept that bodies are different.

Labour is the same.

Your birth might look nothing like what you’ve seen online — and that doesn’t mean you failed. It means you’re human.

What actually matters? That you go in prepared. That you feel supported. That someone is genuinely listening to you and working with you — not just ticking boxes. And that when the moment comes, you feel safe to change your mind.

An epidural can be life-changing. A caesarean can be the exact right call. And so can a pine cone. 😅

There’s no award for the hardest path. There’s just your path.

You deserve a team who sees you, hears you, and helps you find your version of a great birth — whatever that looks like.

That’s all. 💛

March babies 🌿
I’m a little late sharing these — I was away on a holiday that my body very much needed — but these beautiful babies waited patiently to be celebrated. 🌸
Ruby · Remi · Louie · Elaine · Angus · Alexander · Sonny · Billie · Alessio · Ollie · Wren · Sean
Twelve little humans who made their mums stronger than they ever knew they could be.
Every single birth is different. Some fast. Some long. Some surprising. But every single one of them? Worth it.
Welcome to the world, March babies. You are already so loved. 🤍

👶 Which is is your favourite? 👶

Don’t be friends with your patients, they said. 🤣
And then you watch someone become a mum for the first time and your whole heart explodes.
I’m not your friend. I’m better than that. I’m your doctor — and I’m genuinely rooting for you. 💛

**I do not endorse the men in this video, it’s just for a bit of fun.**

Today is International Midwives Day — and I just need to say it out loud. 🤍
Midwives are the heartbeat of the birth suite.
They’re the ones holding a mama’s hand at 3am. The ones who notice when something’s not quite right. The ones families remember forever.
I am so lucky to work alongside the most incredible team — our rooms midwives at GLOW who are often the first familiar face you see, and our amazing team at Ashford who are with you every step of the way through labour and birth.
You make every appointment, every birth, safer, calmer, and so much more human.
To every midwife — thank you. Truly. 💙
