There’s a common worry that a caesarean means missing out on the things that make birth feel personal — no bonding, no delayed cord clamping, no skin-to-skin, no connection with the people caring for you.

It shouldn’t be that way. With thoughtful planning, communication and a team who understands what matters to you, a caesarean can be calm, warm and deeply personal.

It can incorporate:
✔️ Delayed cord clamping, when it’s safe to do so
✔️ Skin-to-skin in theatre
✔️ Meeting your baby together, in your own way
✔️ Your partner or support person involved and close
✔️ Music, conversation and reassurance
✔️ A team who introduces themselves, listens and keeps you informed
✔️ Time and space to take in those first moments
✔️ Early breastfeeding, if you wish to do so

Yes, a caesarean birth is surgery. And surgery deserves respect. But surgery doesn’t have to mean cold, clinical or disconnected.

Your preferences, your personality and the things that matter to you are fundamental to your experience.

A caesarean can be gentle.
It can be connected.
It can be yours.

Do you know much about a Maternal Assisted Caesarean (MAC)?

Captured perfectly by the incomparable Cara Mand, these spectacular photos are from a MAC I recently performed Epworth Freemasons Private Maternity Hospital.

For some mothers, this is a way of feeling more involved during their caesarean births, contributing to a sense of empowerment and control.

Where safe to do so, it allows the mother to help lift her baby from her womb directly on to her chest.

This is once again about supporting choice - there is no best or right way to give birth.

A couple of days ago, on Father’s Day, I shared how blessed I feel to be a dad.

This translates into how I care for you, as I help you to build your own family.

Whilst my patient is always at the heart of my care, supporting partners through pregnancy and birth is such an important part of what my team and I do.

These recent photos taken by Cara Mand and generously shared by Sophie Stafford and Jake Sofo, capture first time dad Jake meeting his adorable baby boy for the very first time.

To be invited into these moments is remarkably special - I’m extremely grateful for the trust you place in me. 

Stay tuned for more spectacular photos from this beautiful birth very soon 💙

My favourite role. Blessed beyond measure to be their Dad.

To my own wonderful Dad, the fantastic Dads in my extended family, as well as those I’ve helped become Dads, enjoy this very special day.

And to those for whom Father’s Day feels difficult, complicated or full of longing, I’m thinking of you today.

Over the past six months, we’ve had the pleasure of welcoming Sammy to our rooms as one of our incredible Medical Administrators.

Sammy has a wonderfully warm and approachable nature, with a natural ability to make people feel at ease from the moment they meet her. Her background in the airline industry has given her many years of experience connecting with people from all cultures and walks of life - something that shines through in the way she cares for our patients and families.

Alongside her work with us, Sammy is completing her Honours degree in Psychology, with a special interest in fatherhood. 

Outside the rooms, she is a mum to a teenage daughter and loves travelling, spending time in the snow, and enjoying time with friends. 

We’re so lucky to have Sammy as part of our growing team!
