25.01.2022 The best part of our job is the relationships we have with our patients. These cookies are a gift for our team from a beautiful patient - who doesn’t quite think our company is worth having another pregnancy for.....I am most impressed that she baked with a newborn and a toddler! We will miss her visits #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #babies #obstetriciangynaecologist @exxpectations_obgyn
23.01.2022 Happy Friday!!! It’s the weekend...and we’re at the beach for some long awaited beach time. I love the beach - so many things about it that are so restoring. Enjoy your weekend.

22.01.2022 Summer has officially arrived in the office. I had my first request from a patient for cold rather than warmed ultrasound gel when having a look at their growing baby - a sure sign it’s HOT outside! #summerishere #stayhydrated #shade #slipslopslap #sunsafe #december #thisisqueensland #itssummer #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #gynaecologist #USS #ultrasound #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbabies
22.01.2022 Welcome to the weekend!! Met my sister for coffee and a walk and we both turned up in the same earrings - purchased separately - from the fabulous @emily_joyce_designs - we must be related! Remember to be kind to each other and check in with friends. #ruok #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #itstheweekendandimnotoncall #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #outsideisthebestside #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #washyourhands #bekind #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #ultrasound #babies #brisbanedoctor #obstetriciangynaecologist #gynaecologist #pregnantbelly #brisbanegynaecologist #pregnant
21.01.2022 Afternoon skies after the storm - the most amazing orange colour. With some jacaranda purple thrown in.

18.01.2022 We welcomed this gorgeous little girl last week. Those long eyelashes were the first thing I saw! She had a little sleepy grin for me a few days later too. #continuityofcare #sleepygrins #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbaby @ The Wesley Hospital

18.01.2022 Happy Friday from a happy worn out obstetrician wearing earrings from @hoodlumfriends - they are even @exxpectations_obgyn colours! This week has been delightfully busy with the safe arrival of five beautiful babies - a few slightly more attention seeking than others! #exxpectationsbabies #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #washyourhands #howgoodismyjob #ilovemyjob #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #ultrasound #babies #obstetriciangynaecologist

17.01.2022 It’s funky Friday and I nearly forgot!!! Heading out for dinner to celebrate my hubby’s birthday - with thanks to my sister for child minding while we go on our date. I love that my earrings are often associated with precious memories - reminders of people and stories that might otherwise be relegated to a less-often accessed part of my brain. So nice to reflect on those moments again. Have a wonderful weekend. ... #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings @tomosacraft #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #bekind #staysafe #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #gynaecologist #USS #ultrasound #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbabies
16.01.2022 Happy Friday!!! Today’s funky Friday earrings - back to Maleny from a few weeks ago @timberdesign.co purchased from @david_linton_furniture. If you can’t be in nature then just wear it! #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #staysafe #washyourhands #supportlocal #queensland #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #ultrasound #obstetriciangynaecologist @ Auchenflower, Queensland
16.01.2022 Meet this gorgeous little man. He decided being on the outside would be better than the inside a little early so is spending some time in our special care nursery @thewesleyhospital while he works on growing, and learning how to suck now he doesn’t have a placenta to do all the work for him! Turns out learning how to feed is exhausting and requires lots of energy. All going well he’ll be home with Mum and Dad by early next week. #continuityofcare #babyfox #specialcarenursery #preterm #premature #prematurebaby #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbaby #newbaby #littlefox
14.01.2022 It’s Friday. Truth be told I’m glad it’s the end of the week. Today’s funky Friday earrings are also a little more practical than my usual choices due to a planned day in theatre. We welcomed two beautiful babies for two couples via Caesarean in theatre today - such an awesome way to finish the week. #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday @helloemilygreen #bekind #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe... #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #maternalassistedcaesarean #exxpectationsbabies
13.01.2022 It’s Friday!!! And a holiday!!! No Ekka in Brisbane this year - thanks to a pandemic - but we did still get a holiday! Family day for us celebrating the birthday of one of my sisters - any excuse for us to hang out really. This cutie is my gorgeous nephew (an #eXXpectationsbaby) helping me model my earrings from @feeniksstore who makes earrings from plastic bags. #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #washyourh...ands #bekind #shoplocal #smallbusiness #environmentallyfriendly #recycle #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbaby
12.01.2022 It’s Friday! I’m on call for the weekend - shaping up to be a busy one. Some sparkly rainbow earrings today - my daughter would have me wear them every day if she could! Enjoying the beautiful early Brisbane morning skies. #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #outsideisthebestside #funkyfriday #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #washyourhands #bekind #kindnessmatters #randomactsofkindness #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant

11.01.2022 It’s Saturday!!! A day late for funky Friday earrings. Yesterday was a long busy day with a beautiful new baby girl arriving and then a catch up with friends in the evening. These glass earrings from @beuy_studio are super light and some of my favourites....I might have them in more than one colour! And not as fragile as they look...I have ‘tested’ them with a drop here and there....not that I would recommend that course of action Enjoy your weekend. May it be a restoring... one. #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #glass earrings #funkyfriday #bekind #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #gynaecologist #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbabies
11.01.2022 As well as being a time of excitement and anticipation, pregnancy can be a time tinged with anxiety. One of the things that causes my lovely pregnant ladies significant concern even distress is an unsolicited, insensitive comment on the size of their pregnant abdomen. While remarking on the size of a woman’s belly at any other time is a social no-no, doing so when she is pregnant is, for some inexplicable reason, not considered inappropriate. Comments such as, Really?... You’re not due until December? It looks like that baby could come tomorrow!, or Are you sure you’re not having twins?! (Note: Of course she’s sure it’s 2020, people!) To some women, such remarks equate to being called fat, or implying she’s carrying a HUGE baby to which she has yet to give birth eek! Or, on the other hand, You look really small for 36 weeks is your baby growing ok? Not uncommonly, my lovely pregnant ladies come to their appointments quite upset and worried about such comments. It is worth noting that ’ , (midwife, GP, obstetrician). It is impossible to tell just by looking how many weeks pregnant a woman is, or how big her baby is even for qualified care providers! So please don’t make comments on the size of a pregnancy bump ever. Feel free, of course, to say kind things. In fact, please say kind things. You look amazing!, Pregnancy suits you!, How can I help? May I drop off a meal for your freezer, or care for your toddler while you have a date night out? May I please encourage you to think in fact, think, think, think before you speak? Are my words kind? Are they encouraging? Are they positive? And, as my grandmother often said, ‘If you have nothing kind to say, say nothing.’ Remember language matters. Please be kind. #bekind #kindnessmatters #wordsmatter #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #pregnantbelly #pregnancybump #exxpectations #exxpectationsbabies #babies
11.01.2022 Our ‘new normal’ at the office and in the hospital for the next little while. Remember that masks alone cannot protect you from COVID-19. Maintain at least 1.5 metre distance from others when possible and wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, even while wearing a mask #thankscovid #mask #maskon #staysafe #washyourhands #smilewithyoureyes #obstetrician #continuityofcare #babies #pregnancy #brisbaneobstetrician
11.01.2022 It’s Friday!!! Beautiful moon tonight. Miss 8 was keen to help with ‘funky Friday earrings’ - our boys - not so much! Looking forward to a weekend of soccer and end of soccer season gatherings and catching up with friends. Sparkle drops from @lunar_dee_signs. Enjoy being outside this weekend and the company of good friends - that’s our plan!

10.01.2022 Happy Friday! It’s funky Friday earrings with my grandfather (Poppa) who is spending a few days being looked after by the amazing staff here @thewesleyhospital. He’s doing well and should be back home in the next few days. These earrings are special to me - they were a gift from a couple who entrusted me with the privilege of delivering their three beautiful babies. And to make them even more special, their oldest child chose them for ‘Dr Mel’. I got lots of comments on them today and I loved telling people who chose them for me!!! #family #familyiseverything #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #washyourhands #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #ultrasound #babies #obstetriciangynaecologist
09.01.2022 Bye bye masks and welcome visitors!
09.01.2022 Some days the babies are happy to show their faces for the ultrasound probe - this one was very photogenic today! Even gave us the thumbs up!

09.01.2022 Lunch date with some of my favourites! What an unexpected delight - both to have time to leave the office briefly and to see my sister and gorgeous nephew! #family #lunch #suprises #opportunity #occasionallythingslineup #nephew #sister #delicious #nephewcuddles #hugs @steamtrain_auchenflower
09.01.2022 It’s Friday. This week has had all the feels hasn’t it? The resurgence of COVID in our backyard has knocked all of us in various ways....#funkyfridayearrings seems a bit frivolous to be honest. But routine and habits are important. Taking joy out of bright colours and beautiful things is important. And right now controlling the things I can control is important - even if it is as small as my earring choice! Rainbow sprinkles from @bellissimaglass for today. I am on call this... weekend for our patients - looking forward to at least one new arrival over the weekend to add to the joy. Stay safe everyone. Look after each other - and yourself. Be kind. #happyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #washyourhands #bekind #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant
07.01.2022 We had an unusual visitor in the rooms today. This big boy is an assistance dog in training, and came along to keep a careful eye on his awesome owner! As hard as it is, please don’t pat these very important dogs while their vest is on - we don’t want to distract them from their important role supporting the needs of their handler. I must say he was so gorgeous that he was a bit distracting! It was lovely to meet this guy and his owner, and amazing to watch how well they work... together based on what he has been trained to do to support her. #assistancedogintraining #assistancedog #training #consistency #whatareyoudoingtomyperson #bekind #givemespace #nopattingplease #continuityofcare #gynaecology #brisbaneobstetrician #brisbanegynaecologist #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #gynaecologist #USS #ultrasound #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectationsbabies @exxpectations_obgyn

06.01.2022 Happy Friday! I spent my day operating so my ‘funky Friday earrings’ are not so ‘funky’ today. That said, they are an ‘old’ pair gifted to me by one of my closest ‘old’ friends who lives in Melbourne and feels very far away currently. Usually conferences mean we catch up a few times a year. But sadly not in 2020 . I always feel loved when I wear them. I’m on call for our fabulous patients this weekend. On this World Kindness Day remember to be kind! Have a good one. #hap...pyfriday #funkyfridayearrings #isobright #brightearrings #funkyfriday #bekind #barebelowtheelbows #staysafe #worldkindnessday @thewesleyhospital #continuityofcare #brisbaneobstetrician #pregnancy #obstetrics #obstetrician #obstetriciangynaecologist #babies #pregnant #exxpectations #gynaecologist #heavyperiods #hysterectomy #painfulperiods #brisbanegynaecologist
