Dr Anneliese Perkins

Dr Anneliese Perkins I am an Adelaide Obstetrician & Gynaecologist with special interests in Obstetrics and ultrasound.

I am excited to be focusing on my passions of Obstetrics and Ultrasound. My rooms are based out of the Ashford Medical Centre, only a few short steps from the Ashford Delivery Suites. I offer longer appointments and focus on engagement and communication. I am able to offer dating, reassurance and low risk growth scans in my rooms. I continue to offer Specialist ultrasound services at Adelaide Wome

n's Imaging. My Background:
A Fellow of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, with special interests in Obstetrics and Ultrasound, I completed my medical degree at the University of Adelaide in 2002. Shortly thereafter, I moved to Brisbane where I worked at Mater Mothers Hospital while completing my specialist training at several hospitals throughout Queensland. Given an opportunity to broaden my experience further, I returned to Adelaide working in Maternal Fetal Medicine and Ultrasound at the Women’s and Children’s Hospital, it was during this time I was awarded my Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. Having a strong passion for this field of work, I am currently undertaking my Diploma of Diagnostic Ultrasound while continuing to provide Specialist Medical Ultrasound services at Adelaide Women’s Imaging. As a mum of two, I always strive to deliver the very best outcome for mother and baby.

I’ve read a lot of birth wish lists over the years. Not one has ever gone perfectly to plan. Every single one still made a beautiful story.

This one’s fiction. But real birth preferences? Those I take very seriously.

Not a script for the day to follow exactly — more like a list of things that matter to you, so we know how to support you when it’s happening.

1. Tell us what you want, even the small stuff (dim lights, who’s in the room, whether you want to know the time)
2. We’ll do everything we can to make that happen
3. But birth doesn’t read the plan — so we stay flexible, together, the whole way through

The best days I’ve witnessed weren’t the ones that went exactly to plan — they were the ones where we adjusted together, without anyone losing their footing.

No two days in this job ever look the same. Recently I had one of those runs — a case that pushed me, a tiny preterm baby who arrived safely, and a moment I know I’ll remember for a long time. All in the same day. All completely different. All a privilege.

I don’t do any of it alone though. I get to work alongside an incredible team at both GLOW and Ashford — and days like this remind me how much that matters.

More honest things I wish everyone knew:
1. Kicks slowing down is never “probably fine.” Get it checked. (Australia’s first stillbirth awareness charity.)
2. Your mental health matters as much as your blood pressure.
3. You can’t eat your way out of gestational diabetes with willpower alone.
4. Swelling isn’t always “just pregnancy.” Sometimes it’s your body asking for help.
5. “I don’t want to be a bother” has never once been a good reason to stay home.

Jade came in recently for her postnatal check, and of course Bowie came too. 👶
Jade, you are just glowing, and Bowie is one lucky little guy to have you as his mum.
So happy for this little family. 🤍

Here are 5 gentle ways to say “not yet”:

1. “We’re not ready for visitors, but we’ll let you know.”
2. “Give us a week to find our feet first.”
3. “We’d love to see you — just not this week.”
4. “No visitors, but a meal on the doorstep would mean the world.”
5. “We’re not saying no. We’re saying not yet.”

And when you ARE ready to see people — the right people — that’s what LittleLinks is for. Find mums nearby who get it, on your own time.

Save this for your postpartum self. 🤍

No one tells you this bit. Sometimes a placenta needs a little extra help coming out, and it goes off for a proper look in pathology. So at 4am, in my scrubs, I’m the one walking it down the hall. In a bucket. Just a normal night at the hospital 🪣

Okay your turn — what’s the weirdest normal-day thing about your job? 👇

Things I’d tell you if I wasn’t worried about sounding blunt:
1. A due date is a guess. Not a deadline.
2. Pain relief is not a failure. It’s a tool.
3. A “natural” birth and a “safe” birth are not always the same thing. Both matter.
4. An emergency caesarean is not a failed birth. It’s a birth that needed a different ending.
5. An elective caesarean is not the easy way out. It’s still your baby, your birth, your choice.
6. “Doing your research” on TikTok is not the same as doing your research.

Some days clinic is just paperwork and scans. And then some days a baby named Tasman shows up and steals the whole show. 😂 Nothing like a giggly little face to remind you why this job is the best job. Welcome back, Holly and Damon — Tasman is an absolute joy.
