It’s one of the first questions most women ask after seeing those two pink lines:
“When should I have my first ultrasound?”

While signs of an early pregnancy can sometimes be seen from around 4½–5 weeks, the clearest and most reassuring time for an early pregnancy scan is usually 6–7 weeks.

By then, we can often see a heartbeat and confirm that the pregnancy is developing within the uterus.

If you’ve had IVF, uncertain dates, pain or bleeding, or a history of ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage, we may bring your scan forward or repeat your ultrasounds more frequently. Otherwise, waiting that little bit longer gives the best clarity.

✨ Every pregnancy is different — I’ll guide you on the right timing for you.

Should my b-hCG double every 48 hours?

In early pregnancy, b-hCG levels usually rise quickly — often doubling every two days up to around six weeks.

As pregnancy progresses, the rise naturally slows.

Between six and eight weeks, b-hCG may take three to four days to double.

By eight to ten weeks, it’s normal for levels to plateau or rise only slightly — sometimes even declining a little after ten weeks.

This doesn’t mean something is wrong — it’s simply your placenta taking over the hormonal work of sustaining early pregnancy.

📈 I look at both the b-hCG trend and your ultrasound findings to build the full picture of how your pregnancy is progressing.

World Fertility Day 2025 — a day to raise awareness, start conversations and remind every woman and couple that fertility is part of overall health.

1 in 6 Australians will experience challenges conceiving.

Age, endometriosis, fibroids, ovulation disorders and male factors can all play a role — but awareness, early investigation and compassionate care make a difference.

If you’re thinking about pregnancy — now or in the future — this is your gentle reminder to:
✨ learn your cycle and fertile window
✨ check your pre-conception health (folate, vitamin D, thyroid, iron)
✨ talk with your GP or specialist if you’ve been trying for > 6 months (or > 12 months if under 35)
✨ look after your wellbeing and that of your partner or family — fertility is a shared journey

🤍 Here in Toowoomba, I’m proud to support women and families across the Darling Downs with open, evidence-based and empathetic fertility care.
Because awareness is empowerment — and every journey deserves support.

This is what it’s all about.

In the midst of the theatre lights, sterile fields and surgical precision — there’s laughter, connection, and the incredible moment a new family begins.

It’s an honour to share these moments, and to witness the courage, love, and strength that fill every birth story.

Can Surgery Improve Fertility?

For some women, fertility difficulties are caused by conditions inside the pelvis or uterus that can be corrected surgically.

Surgical options may include:
• Excision of endometriosis to reduce inflammation and restore pelvic health
• Removal of uterine fibroids or polyps to improve implantation and minimise pregnancy loss
• Ovarian drilling for treatment resistant ovulation problems
• Tubal flush or drainage to improve Fallopian tube function or IVF success

These procedures aren’t for everyone - but for some, they can be a valuable step toward achieving a successful pregnancy.

My day.

I started with an early morning induction of labour, followed by a planned caesarean to welcome a little family’s second baby. 💙

I then did my ward round to review my inpatients before a busy morning of consultations in my rooms.

At lunchtime I got the call from the St Vincent’s midwife - it was baby time following the early morning induction! I attended birth suite to support the family on the arrival of their baby. 🩷

From there, it was straight to the Surgicentre for an afternoon of hysteroscopic procedures to help my patients with conditions like abnormal bleeding and fertility.

The day finished with an emergency caesarean later in the evening - we welcomed an impatient little one who just couldn’t wait! 💙

Congratulations to my patients whose little families grew yesterday 🫶🏻
