I’m sure you have noticed that there is plenty of Covid around. NSW’s new case numbers are running at around 20,000 per day – numbers we wouldn’t have dreamt of a year ago. It also seems that new variants are always coming along. This, combined with the fact that immunity from both infection and vaccination […]
Yesterday – or the day before – the NSW Minister of Health stated words to the effect that “it’s inevitable that everyone in NSW is going to get Omicron.” This of course is – almost – a self-fulfilling prophesy given the fact that he and the current Premier have made no effort whatsoever to manage […]
Well, if you are unfortunate enough not to have watched the fabulous TV show Ted Lasso this is all going to seem a little obscure.

I am sure you have been aware of a great deal of published information regarding Covid vaccinations lately. My professional body, the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (RANZCOG) and the relevant Australian Federal advisory body ATAGI (I have no idea what that stands for) now recommend: “That pregnant women are […]
Now the Covid vaccine is nearly with us I’m frequently being asked whether pregnant women should go ahead and get vaccinated as soon as they can. Well, this may come as a shock to you all but I actually agree with my professional body on this one. The Royal Australian and NZ College of O […]
It is a little overdue but I have just got my hand on a new ultrasound machine. This thing is pretty state of the art so I have no excuses for not getting good pictures off your babies. ~ Rob
In case you didn’t already know, bumping is the term we use when we postpone / reschedule your appointment because I’m busy at the hospital. I do know that many obstetricians don’t do this.
