It was a morning of practical insights, genuine connection and a shared commitment to supporting women across the Mackay region with care that is both clinically excellent and deeply personal.

Here’s to continuing the conversation, and growing awareness of women’s health and fertility support across Mackay and rural areas. 🩷

The Trump administration has made highly controversial claims about the causes of autism and ADHD, asserting that paracetamol (also known as acetaminophen) use during pregnancy increases the risk of children being diagnosed as neurodivergent.

RANZCOG joins leading clinicians and scientists worldwide in rejecting these claims. Scientific evidence shows no link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and autism or ADHD during childhood, with several large and reliable studies directly contradicting the administration’s statement.

The causes of neurodivergence are incompletely understood and remain complex, involving both genetic and environmental factors. Earlier studies raising concerns about paracetamol could not determine whether the medicine itself was responsible, or whether other factors explained the association.

A much larger and stronger study, published in 2024 by Ahlqvist and colleagues, looked at 2.5 million children in Sweden. When they accounted for important factors like family history of autism/ADHD and sibling comparisons, they found no link between paracetamol use during pregnancy and children developing autism or ADHD.

The use of medications during pregnancy should always balance the potential benefits against any potential harms - both of the medication and of the condition being treated - to the mother and the fetus. The Ahlqvist study provides conclusive evidence that paracetamol use during pregnancy does not increase the chance of neurodivergence in the offspring and therefore should be considered safe to use in pregnancy where there is a clear reason to do so.

People who are uncertain about medication use in pregnancy should discuss this with their doctor or midwife.

R U OK? Day is a reminder that behind every appointment, every treatment and every waiting room seat is a person carrying feelings that may be invisible to others. 🌟

Asking the simple question, “Are you okay?” can make a world of difference.

Our team believe compassionate healthcare goes hand in hand with open conversations about treatment plans or preferences.

Supporting mental and emotional wellbeing is just as important as physical care on the path to parenthood and beyond.

Let’s continue reminding each other that no one has to walk this path alone. 💛 Have you asked someone if they’re okay today?

Fatherhood begins long before the first cuddle. It starts with support, presence and love during pregnancy, where a father’s voice brings comfort and connection, and where the journey to parenthood is built on partnership every step of the way. We see it as a team sport! Happy Father's Day from the NG team 💜

This morning at the annual Health Professionals Breakfast, Dr Sally Rodrigues, Obstetrician and Gynaecologist at NG GyneHealth, spoke on the importance of informed and holistic care for women at every stage of life.

Dr Sally's message highlighted that women’s health is about empowering women with knowledge, listening with empathy, and creating an environment where care extends beyond the clinic into the community. By fostering stronger connections with women and families, Dr Sally emphasised how reproductive healthcare and menopause support can be both clinically excellent and deeply personal.

This morning's event was a timely reminder that when women are supported with information, respect and genuine care, the entire community benefits.

The pursuit of excellence

Pursuit Of Excellence

NG GyneHealth is a specialist women's health clinic offering modern obstetric, gynaecological and fertility care of the highest standard in a caring, comfortable and private environment. At NG GyneHealth, the wellbeing and comfort of our patients is our priority, with a firm focus on patient outcomes and best practice. In addition to being Australian qualified Specialists in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, both our Doctors have formal advanced ultrasound qualifications from the Australian Society of Ultrasound Medicine. This, coupled with state of the art Ultrasound machines including the 3D - 4D technology, means we can offer our obstetric, gynaecology and fertility patients a virtual one-stop-shop to medical examination and treatment. This gives us the opportunity to discuss with patients their results and treatment options immediately. Dr Gaunekar has a particular interest in Minimally Invasive Surgery (keyhole surgery), fertility medicine and high-risk pregnancy. Most surgeries are performed without making big cuts on the abdomen, including big ovarian tumours, endometriosis and Laparoscopic Hysterectomies. One of Dr Rodrigues' sub-speciality areas is Urogynaecology, which focuses on the treatment and care of women suffering from prolapse and incontinence. The impact of incontinence can be greatly lessened and the quality of life improved with up-to-date treatments and procedures offered at our clinic. Our approach to fertility medicine is very methodical. We look closely at the symptoms, find the cause and then develop a treatment plan which suits the individual couple. IVF is certainly one available option, but there are a variety of alternatives to explore before IVF. We offer a full range of options including IVF to our patients tailored for their condition. We know that issues with fertility are very sensitive and once again we work closely with the couple to plan for the most positive outcome. Costs are a big consideration and we are sensitive to this. We pride ourselves on delivering very cost-effective options in the fertility world. Dr Gaunekar and Dr Rodrigues have a keen interest in fertility medicine and are associates of the Queensland Fertility Group, which is part of the wider Virtus health family, representing one of the worlds largest fertility groups. Dr Gaunekar has represented Australia as the Shan S Ratnam Young Gynaecologist Award winner for 2007 at the Asia and Oceania Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (AOFOG) Congress in Tokyo.
