MBBS, FRANCOG
Masters of Reproductive Medicine (UNSW)
Grad Dip Comms, BBus These credentials are further supported with research achievements.

I graduated from medical school at the University of Queensland in 2004, and, after completing my residency, commenced specialist training in obstetrics and gynaecology. Placements at the Townsville Hospital, the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, and Caboolture Hospital, gave me invaluable experience caring for women through their pregnancies, labours, and deliveries, including in high-risk and complicated pregnancies. I then undertook two years of specialised gynaecology training in Adelaide. During my first year I worked principally in the area of urogynaecology, developing my skills in the conservative and surgical management of vaginal prolapse and urinary incontinence. My second year in South Australia saw me complete 12 months training in advanced laparoscopic surgery, enhancing my skills in keyhole surgery. During this time I also completed a Masters of Reproductive Medicine through the University of NSW, giving me specialised knowledge in managing couples with infertility and other gynaecological concerns. In 2009 I was awarded the prestigious Crown Street Medal for best original research by a Registrar or Fellow for my study into detection of threatened pre-term labour. As well as my enduring love of obstetrics, I have special interests in the management of pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, the menopause, and fertility. I have also written about pregnancy and fertility issues for popular women’s website, Mamamia. My private practice is “Greenslopes Obstetrics & Gynaecology” located at the Greenslopes Private Hospital, where my patients have access to facilities of the finest quality in Brisbane. I am proud to offer patient-focused care in a relaxed, open and friendly manner. I live with my wife Rebecca, my three young children, and our much-loved dog, Reuben. When I’m not working I spend time with my family, trying to stay fit, watching all manner of sport, and struggling to beat my kids at Pac-Man.

Ever wondered what a Caesarean section incision can look like by six weeks post birth? Well, wonder no more.

One obvious and common concern amongst women either considering an elective Caesarean section, or requiring one as an emergency section, is the scar itself.

Things have certainly shifted thankfully since when I started my career 20 years ago. Back then incisions were not as careful nor deliberate, and the cosmetic considerations were commonly either dismissed or not contemplated by the OB.

Now there are a number of steps that are taken to improve not just cosmesis but also recovery.

I am a little fixated on my scar outcomes, so I always measure and mark out the incision. This ensures it is as small as it possibly can be to get the fetal head out (11 cms) and also as well centred and even as possible.

To close the skin i use a really fine suture that is placed subcuticularly (under the surface of the skin). I then use a special negative pressure dressing called a PICO dressing that reduces the wound infection risk, and also helps minimise scar formation. I’ll also commonly infiltrate the area of the incision after closure with a dexamethasone solution (steroid) if there is any suggestion of the patient being at risk of Keloid scarring.

Good surgical technique and wound closure doesn’t just affect the look of the wound, it also improves recovery.

After a week or so leave I am back on deck!

Many thanks to this big beautiful human, Dr Brad Armstrong, for looking after my patients in my absence

Dr BA is known as ‘Number 1 Brad’, and ‘Gucci Brad’ (while I am Temu Brad) for a reason. The man is a weapon and a delight.

The moment we had been waiting for arrived!

Wanna know what the new song is like?

Here’s the review from ‘Ava and her uncool Dad’

11/01/2026

Now here is a fascinating placenta! Notice what is different about it?

If you noticed two umbilical cords then you’re onto it! This is one very large placenta that had the job of servicing a twin pregnancy!

There are three different types of twin pregnancies, and this one was what’s called MCDA twins - or Monochorionic Diamniotic. This means one placenta with two sacs.

So this single placenta had to service the needs of both babies.

MCDAs are higher risk than when there are two seperate placentas, one for each twin, because the placenta doesn’t always get the distribution between babies correct.

So these are higher risk and need considerably more oversight and surveillance to watch for a complication called twin to twin transfusion syndrome (TTS).

My wife Bec and her friend Jane run @ and they're all about helping women fall back in love with reading AND helping build connection and community.

This week they've given away a truckload of free Birds memberships to new mums and mums of little kids, women in regional areas (who might be feeling a bit isolated and would love to be in a book club), mums with premmie babies, mums with PND and women who have become widows.

They still have some free book club memberships left -- so if you'd like one - be brave and email them at hello@rebelreaders.com.au

Their motto is Scroll Less, Read More and they're al about reading for joy.

The January book is "A History of the Parramatta Eels" ...

Just joking. That's their March read (okay, it's not but it should be).

This month they're reading Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth.

If you've always wanted to be in a book club --- go for it.

There’s a common issue in early pregnancy that no one seems to talk about, so if women get it when they’re pregnant for the first time it can shock them

That issue is fatigue 😩

Fatigue like you’ve not experienced before. Fatigue like it goes down to your bones and doesn’t let up no matter what you do!

And if that’s not bad enough, so many women think that it’s happening because they’re somehow not enough, not doing well enough, not eating well enough, not coping well enough….

Building a baby in the first trimester is incredibly hard work. PLEASE ladies, give yourself some grace and do whatever you need to do to get through what can be an incredibly challenging time.

Rest. Ask for help. Lean on your partners, your family, your friends. Put yourself ahead of your work.

HI Everyone

It's Brad's wife Bec here. Brad has fallen asleep on the floor watching some ridiculous B-grade horror movie - so I've hacked his page. :)

Some of you may know that I run an amazing book club called Birds of a Feather Book Club with my friend (and beloved high school English teacher) Jane Sullivan.

In four years, Birds has become the fastest growing book club in the country. And the friendliest. There are thousands of women all over Australia and New Zealand meeting up in cafes and parks, going to bookish trivia nights, author talks and movie nights and encouraging each other to keep picking up great books.

Our aim is to help women fall back in love with reading. And we operate both online AND in-person. We are all about READING FOR JOY.

Jane and I have SEVEN kids between us. And they range in age from 7 to 17. These days life is easier. Even the youngest kids can put on their own seatbelts and make their own breakfast and read books. One of mine can drive 😵‍💫 But a blink ago they were tiny (and, er, demanding) and parenting was a different kind of exhausting.

This morning Jane and I were talking about that distant land of mothering little babies. Feeling isolated. Maybe even lonely. Worrying that we were doing everything wrong. Wrong wrong wrong. And the relentless of it. THE EXHAUSTION.

Your phone can be a lifeline when you have a baby. But it can also completely torture you. Seeing photos and posts from other mums which make you feel like you're failing.

So Jane and I wanted to offer FREE Birds of a Feather standard membership to any mums of young kids/babies and mothers groups.

No strings attached.

One year free access to our beautiful book club community offering you friendships. Community. Reading. Maybe you'd love to come to the live meet ups in your area. Maybe you just want to participe from home and chat online.

Engage in whatever way suits you.

Because if you can read (or listen to an audiobook) for just six minutes a day it can have a profound impact on lowering your stress levels by up to 68%.

Also sometimes it's nice to chat about something other than babies. ☺️

So if you're a mum of little ones or in a mothers group - this is our gift to you in 2026.

Shoot us an email to HELLO@REBELREADERS.COM.AU and we'll look after you. Be brave and send us an email! We would love to welcome you into our community of kind, supportive women.
