We managed to get through the first half of 2026… I’m going to need a whole lot more caffeine for planning the second half of the year! 🤦🏼♀️ 🤪
When four doctors get together to plan the 2026 roster, it’s basically a medical version of Sudoku… with more caffeine and slightly more drama. 🤓🩺😂

It’s hard to find words that do justice to this experience! Cruising through the Galápagos Islands has been nothing short of extraordinary — the wildlife, the landscapes, the sense of connection to nature.
What’s made it especially meaningful are the insightful sessions on medicine and women-centred care.
To learn, reflect, and grow in a place this inspiring has been a reminder of why I love what I do, and how very privileged I am.

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.

Passionate about helping women achieve the birth they want
I’m a specialist Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, who believes in a woman-centred approach to healthcare, and is passionate about helping women achieve the birth they want.
I grew up locally in the Adelaide hills and studied medicine at The University of Adelaide, undertaking my specialist training in Canberra, Launceston and South Australia.
I operate and deliver privately at Ashford Hospital and am a staff specialist at Flinders Medical Centre, allowing me to offer 'private in public' care. I also have admitting rights at The Women's & Children's Hospital, and enjoy my role as a teaching specialist through Flinders University.
Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my young family and friends. I’m an avid sports fan and love to travel.
I am a supporter of women's rights, advocating for the health and well-being of women and girls everywhere. I believe all women have the right to decide if and when they have children, and the right to be able to access high-quality health care and support, no matter their sexuality, ethnicity or gender-identity.
My interests include: Personalised antenatal care, High-risk obstetrics - including VBAC, Twins and Breech births, Contraceptive choice and family planning, Colposcopy, General gynaecology, Menopause, and Prolapse.
