Perinatal anxiety and depression affect many women during pregnancy and after birth. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed.

We provide screening, support and referrals to trusted psychologists if needed.

You’re never alone in this.

Your due date is a guide, not a guarantee.

Only around 4% of babies arrive on their exact due date. We use scans and cycle data to estimate as accurately as possible and provide ongoing monitoring in the final weeks to ensure everything stays on track. Accurately knowing your “due date” is an essential component of pregnancy care and planning.

One of the benefits of my dual experience in fertility and obstetrics is the ability to care for you from conception through to delivery.

Women who conceive following infertility treatment or via IVF often appreciate the reassurance of being looked after by someone who understands the full journey.

Continuity helps ensure smooth transitions and better communication.

Planning a vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC)? It’s a safe and valid option for many women. The key is thorough planning, careful monitoring, an experienced team and developing a personalised plan.

We provide detailed counselling and support for women exploring VBAC and always tailor our guidance to your clinical history and preferences.

I’m pleased to now offer obstetric care at Westmead Private Hospital.

This gives patients more choice and flexibility in where they give birth. Westmead Private is a modern, well-equipped hospital with experienced midwifery teams, on-site neonatal support and calm, supportive birth suites.

Whether you’re seeking continuity of care from early pregnancy or planning for a more complex delivery, I’m now able to support you at both Norwest and Westmead Private, depending on what suits your needs best.

For families looking for a more cost-conscious option without compromising specialist care, I also offer delivery at Westmead Public Hospital, where the medical care remains the same, in a public hospital setting.

Bookings are now open.

Contact our rooms to learn more or arrange a consultation.

In both obstetrics and long-distance running, things do not always unfold the way you expect.

Earlier this year, I made the decision to withdraw from a 160km ultramarathon at 107km into the race. It was a challenging moment, but also a valuable one. It reminded me that preparation matters, but adaptability matters just as much.

In pregnancy and birth, plans can change. My role is to stay calm, reassess the situation and guide people through uncertainty with care and clear decision-making.

I shared a short reflection about what running has taught me about this kind of mindset.

Choosing between private and public obstetric care is an important decision.

In private obstetric care, you see the same obstetrician throughout your pregnancy. This continuity allows for longer appointments, detailed follow-ups, and a consistent relationship with your doctor. You also have more control over your hospital choice and can plan for a familiar face during labour and delivery.

Public care is typically provided through hospital-based teams, often involving rotating doctors and midwives. While still excellent in quality, you may not see the same clinician each time. Your care is generally guided by the hospital's schedule and structure.

Both systems aim for safe, healthy outcomes. The difference lies in how your care is delivered and how much continuity you prefer.

What to expect postpartum:

• Physical recovery takes 6-10 weeks on average
• Hormonal fluctuations can affect mood
• Breastfeeding challenges are common
• Sleep deprivation is normal but manageable
