You Don’t Need to Be High-Risk to Choose High-Quality Care
When people think about obstetricians, they often picture complex cases: high-risk pregnancies, twins, or medical complications that need extra attention.
But here’s something you might not know:
Many of the women I care for are completely healthy and low-risk.
They haven’t been referred for medical concerns.
They’re simply looking for something more personal, more consistent, and more grounded than what a public system can offer.
If you’re a healthy woman planning to have a baby, you deserve to feel supported, respected, and known. Choosing to see an obstetrician isn’t about expecting problems—it’s about wanting peace of mind and exceptional care from day one.
Why Choose Private Obstetric Care for a Low-Risk Pregnancy?
Every pregnancy is unique, but the one thing that remains constant is how important it is to feel safe and heard. That’s the heart of what I offer—regardless of whether your pregnancy is considered low-risk or more complex.
Here’s what you can expect when you choose private care with me:
👶 Continuity of Care
You’ll see me, not a rotating team. From your first appointment to your postnatal check, I’ll be the one walking alongside you. I’ll know your preferences, your medical history, and what matters to you most.
🏥 Choice of Leading Private Hospitals
You’ll have the option to birth at some of Melbourne’s best private maternity hospitals, including:
-
Epworth Freemasons – A boutique experience with a strong reputation for maternity care.
-
St Vincent’s Private Hospital – Known for its excellent facilities and compassionate nursing staff.
-
Francis Perry House (Royal Women’s) – A trusted name in women’s health with access to top-tier medical support.
📞 24/7 Direct Access
Pregnancy doesn’t run on a 9–5 schedule. If something comes up—questions, concerns, or anything unexpected—you’ll be able to contact me directly, not go through layers of triage.
🌿 Respect for Your Birth Preferences
Every woman deserves to feel empowered during birth. I’ll work with you to create a plan that aligns with your wishes, whether that includes minimal intervention, an epidural, or anything in between.
🧠 Specialist Knowledge, Calm Guidance
Because I also care for high-risk pregnancies and twins, I’m trained to notice the small things and respond quickly if needed. Even in the calmest, smoothest pregnancies, this can be a quiet source of reassurance for many women and their partners.
A Healthy Pregnancy Deserves Thoughtful Support
Some women wait until something is “wrong” to seek specialised care.
But you don’t have to wait.
You don’t need a complication to ask for clarity.
You don’t need a diagnosis to want support that feels deeply human and entirely focused on you.
A low-risk pregnancy doesn’t mean a low-impact experience. It’s still big. It’s still emotional. It’s still one of the most important things you’ll ever do.
And you deserve care that treats it that way.
Thinking About Starting or Growing Your Family?
If you’re ready to take the next step and want to know your options, I’d be happy to meet with you. Whether you’ve just started trying or you’re already pregnant, I can help guide you through what private pregnancy care can look like—and how we can tailor it to you.
You don’t have to be high-risk to want high-quality care.
You just have to decide:
This is your time.
And you deserve a calm, supported start.
