What is “Three-Parent IVF”?
You may have heard the term “three-parent IVF” in the media, but what does it actually mean?

This advanced fertility technique, also known as mitochondrial donation, involves genetic material from three people — the mother, the father, and a female egg donor. The aim is to help prevent certain serious inherited mitochondrial diseases from being passed from mother to child.

In this process, the mother’s nuclear DNA (which contains almost all of the genes that determine a child’s characteristics) is transferred into a donor egg that has healthy mitochondria. The egg is then fertilised with the father’s s***m through IVF.

While the donor provides healthy mitochondrial DNA, the vast majority of the baby’s genetic information still comes from the mother and father. The goal is to allow families affected by mitochondrial disease to have a healthy child while maintaining a genetic connection to both parents.

Advances in reproductive medicine continue to provide new possibilities for families facing complex fertility and genetic challenges.

If you would like to learn more about fertility treatment options, Dr Terry Sheahan offers personalised care and guidance to help you understand the best path forward.

Hello and welcome. I’m Dr Terry Sheahan — an Obstetrician, Gynaecologist and Fertility Specialist based in Brisbane.

For many years I’ve had the privilege of caring for women through some of the most important moments in their lives — from helping couples grow their families, to guiding patients through pregnancy, and supporting women with a wide range of gynaecological and hormonal health concerns.

My goal is always to provide calm, personalised and compassionate care, ensuring every patient feels informed, supported, and comfortable asking questions along the way. No two journeys are the same, and I believe good care starts with listening.

I’m fortunate to work alongside a wonderful team who share the same commitment to high-quality patient care, and together we strive to make every patient experience as positive and supportive as possible.

Thank you for being here. I look forward to sharing helpful information about women’s health, pregnancy, and fertility on this page.

Perimenopause is the transition phase leading up to menopause, and it can begin years before periods stop completely.

Women may notice:
• Irregular cycles
• Changes in sleep
• Mood shifts
• Hot flushes or night sweats

Understanding what’s happening hormonally can help you manage symptoms and feel more in control of your health.

One of the most special moments in pregnancy is feeling your baby move for the first time.

Most women start to notice movements between 18–22 weeks, although every pregnancy is different.

As your pregnancy progresses, those movements become an important sign of your baby’s wellbeing. If you ever notice a significant change in your baby’s movements, it’s always best to seek advice.

Thinking about starting a family? Preparing your body before pregnancy can make a real difference.

A few simple steps I often recommend include:
• Starting a folate supplement
• Maintaining a healthy, balanced diet
• Staying active
• Booking a pre-pregnancy check-up

Small changes early on can help set you and your future baby up for the healthiest possible start.

Taking care of your health at every stage of life 🤍
Women’s health changes throughout life — from early reproductive years through pregnancy and into menopause.

Regular check-ups and open conversations with your doctor can help detect issues early and keep you feeling your best.

Whether it’s menstrual concerns, fertility planning, pregnancy care, or menopause support, the goal is always the same: helping you feel informed, supported, and confident in your health.

One simple thing that can make a big difference during pregnancy is staying well hydrated.

As your body works harder to support your growing baby, your fluid needs increase. Drinking enough water can help reduce headaches, fatigue, and even swelling.

Try keeping a water bottle nearby throughout the day — small sips regularly often work better than large amounts all at once.

When period pain isn’t “just normal” 🌸
Many women grow up believing that painful periods are simply something they have to live with — but severe pain shouldn’t be ignored.

Conditions such as endometriosis, adenomyosis, or hormonal imbalances can sometimes be the cause. The good news is that there are ways to investigate the cause and manage symptoms.

If your periods are interfering with work, school, or daily life, it may be worth having a conversation with a specialist like myself.

Your first obstetric appointment 🤰
One of the most common questions I hear is, “What happens at the first pregnancy appointment?”

Your first visit is a chance to talk through your medical history, discuss your pregnancy so far, and plan the care you and your baby will need over the coming months.

We’ll cover things like:
• Your estimated due date
• Recommended scans and tests
• Nutrition and supplements
• Any symptoms or concerns you may have

It’s also the perfect opportunity to ask questions — no matter how big or small. Pregnancy can bring a lot of new experiences, and we’re here to guide you through them.
