A perfect Saturday night. Snuggled up with my boy Reubs watching a movie 🍿 ❤️

It’s been an eventful past few months for me on my social media front, with this ‘follow’ just absolutely typifying the wild ride I have had!
For the best part of 12 years as a consultant Obstetrician & Gynaecologist I have tried to share snippets of my working life, provide education about interesting issues, and share important information.
A little while ago I heard the comments of an Australian public figure (note I don’t call him a ‘comedian’ 🙄) about endometriosis and did a short video showing my lack of appreciation for them. That was followed by some more serious posts about this debilitating and poorly managed disease.
For the first time in my life, without any intention of it happening, I personally understood the expression ‘going viral’. The huge number of clicks my off-the-cuff video attracted underscored for me the dismissive way in which women’s health issues have been dealt with both societally and medically in Australia, and how women are rightly fed up with it.
Amongst the new followers I was fortunate to receive following these posts, this photo shows one. To say this blew my doors off was an understatement!!
Dr Shannon Clark - aka - is a US Maternofetal medicine sub-specialist. I have followed her - and secretly wished I was more like her - for so long now. She is the 💣
My mentor, Queenslander Dr David Watson, is an MFM like Dr Clark, and he is a man I could not speak more highly of. The knowledge and skill these individuals hold is extraordinary and I have endless respect and appreciation for them.

If you are interested in information about pregnancy that’s reliable, evidence-based, and compassionate, please follow her.
Don’t follow the self-styled unqualified influencer. The podcaster with a million followers but no actual pregnancy skill. The ‘birthing expert’ with absolutely NO genuine training. Nor the ‘wellness guru’ with bo****ks advice designed around flogging their *activated almonds/jade eggs/ironed water/rectal healing crystals*
One of the highlights of my day is seeing Dr Clark’s posts. And if you are also interested in pregnancy and birthing it can be for you too ❤️

As a father there are few things in life as entertaining as doing things that you know will profoundly irritate your teenage daughter 😆
Here I present to the court ‘Exhibit A’.
To say she was *revolted/disgusted/ashamed/embarrassed/motified* is an understatement 😂
Perhaps I am quitting Obstetrics to pursue movie roles as an ageing former samurai master down on his luck… Think ‘Bill’ from 🙄😆
Don’t worry, my patients are safe. This follicular monstrosity won’t be a feature of my consults 🛑

Now here is one LONG umbilical cord!
The average umbilical cord is around 55 cms long. I am about 186 cms tall (on a good day 😬) and this one was at least half as long as me. So probably 95 cms plus in length!
Placentas are the most extraordinary organs. And like the little humans they support they are all different and vary in so many ways.
The way this connects a Mumma and her baby is spectacular ❤️🔥
Thank you to my amazing and generous patients for letting me share this 🙏 ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful Mumas out there ❤️
To those women who have lost precious pregnancies and babies, and also to those who are fighting to achieve pregnancy, I see you too ❤️
Here are the important Mums in my life. From right to left my amazing wife Bec, my Mother in law Wendy, my sister Amanda, and my Mum, Del.
Much love to all ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’ve just entered my 20th year doing this amazing job and yet this just never gets tired 💜
I think I love seeing these little faces *nearly* as much as my expectant parents, especially when I capture a 3D image this good ❤️
This little one is 35 and a bit weeks and Mum and Dad don’t know if they’re having a boy or a girl - and I don’t either for the record!
Do you think this beautiful cherub looks like a girl or a boy? Some people claim to be able to tell from the facial appearance but I’m not convinced 😬

There’s long days full of appointments, with a phone that seems to never want to give me peace.
And sometimes even longer nights where the same phone doubles down, summoning me from my sleep to birth suite or another emergency that needs my attention.
There’s the times that my work means I don’t get to be the ‘exact’ Father that I wanted to be. That causes me to miss an event that I know I’ll regret.
But this is the why. This is what makes it not only worthwhile, but worth everything I’ve done to put myself into this role in life..
Thank you Lucia and Reece for giving me the honour of helping birth your twin boys, Hugo and Thomas ❤️💜 It is a night I will not easily forget 😊

If you think that birth can be, is always, or should be predictable, this is the woman to talk to who will set you straight…🤔
Mum Jacinta came into this pregnancy having had three reasonably straight-forward vaginal births for her children Harper, Fletcher and Chloe. I had the honour to helping birth Fletcher and Chloe.
So this little girl, Halle, *absolutely* would have been a walk in the park, right? Would have just birthed herself, yeah? I mean does Jacinta even NEED a private OBGYN for this one? I mean she’s done it successfully three times already?!
This family is THE poster family for how utterly unpredictable and complex the birthing process can be. How it can NEVER be completely without risk, nor can it be predictable.
Why? Well, let me tell you….
During labour I did what I expected would be a routine vaginal examination to check the progress of Jacinta’s labour. I must have pulled an odd facial expression because it took me a moment to realise what I what feeling mid-examination. And that was little Halle holding my index finger!
Halle’s arm was through hire Mum Jacinta’s cervix and her hand had managed to latch onto my finger. This fetal position is undeliverable vaginally so I - completely shocked to be doing so - had to take Jacinta and Dad Mark to theatre for an emergency Caesarean!
All are well now but I will, as long as I live, never forget that moment when the penny dropped and I realised I had a baby still inside its Mumma’s womb holding my finger!
Thank you to Jacinta for letting me share this story ❤️ And for being so amazing through what must have been a shocking turn of events!
Have a look at her message to me in the last picture. Honestly don’t know why I don’t hate her 😂
