I am a certified obstetrician in Melbourne who specialises in many different areas of pregnancy, birth and their complications. Low to high-risk pregnancy care, multiple pregnancies, recurrent miscarriage, maternally-assisted caesarean section, maternal-fetal medicine and fetal surgery are among my areas of expertise. Recurrent miscarriage treatment is one focus area that I understand implicitly. I have many years of experience assisting my patients through this difficult and traumatic time.
There are options for the treatment of recurrent miscarriages that are caused by autoimmune disorders. My team and I can conduct a full battery of tests to determine exactly what intervention is needed to have an optimal outcome. Your questions will be answered, and once the test results are returned, a full report can be explained in detail to you.
The most effective autoimmune miscarriage treatment will be determined by myself, and a fully tailored plan will be put in place. IVF and reproductive immunology are a part of the solution, including hormone therapies and thyroid-stimulating treatments. Women who suffer from an autoimmune or clotting problem can be treated with a low dose of heparin or aspirin to thin their blood. This can be taken during pregnancy in order to lower the risk of miscarrying the baby.
If you have any questions or enquiries, please feel free to contact me on the following details provided below. Alternatively, you can complete the online enquiry form, and I will respond as soon as possible.
Pregnancy can trigger a new autoimmune disorder or exacerbate an exitisng condition, so yes this could be a cause of your miscarriage. This can interfere with a pregnancy being carried full term, or in some instances can cause harm to the baby. Antibodies that the mother produces during pregnancy can enter the baby’s system and have an impact on its growth and development.
Plenty of patients with autoimmune conditions are able to carry a baby to full term and have very successful pregnancies. It is important to start thinking about having a conversation with your doctor ahead of conception so you can be fully prepared for different outcomes.
