Obstetrics: General Information

Philosophy

Having a baby should be a wonderful experience and I feel privileged to be invited to be involved in one of life’s great events. I try to allay anxieties and hope I am a reassuring presence.

Recently, after thousands of deliveries, I have stopped doing private confinements. I can, however, see you for antenatal consultations – in conjunction with Colleagues and other service providers.

My Practice

If you wish to see me for an antenatal visit, your first point of contact is my practice manager, Sarah Beecroft. Sarah and I have been a team for over 20 years. Sarah is very experienced and has a wealth of knowledge.

Initial questions often relate to core options, work, travel, diet, exercise, medications, preliminary tests and specific concerns. Later questions often concern pain relief, mode of delivery and any specific issues that have arisen.
