Ok back to basics. This is what I do. I help women become mothers. I help couples become families. I help little boys and girls become big brothers and big sisters. This is a maternally assisted caesarean. Birth magic.

Soooo…on the next episode of “what does Dr Amber do when she’s not delivering babies…” ..she hangs out with alpacas 🦙! Actually this is when I went to the Red Hill show on the Labour Day weekend a couple of weeks ago. I love alpacas! Check out the cute mother and baby one !! I am also very fond of tractors, farm machinery and the wood chop competition (I also like chainsaws). Yeah, I know it’s weird. I fancy myself retiring to become a kind of Yorkshire Vet birthing alpacas and cows (but I would INSIST on wearing gloves!!). I can’t believe vets do it without gloves. Ick! I’m too OCD for that. But if my alpaca or cow needed a caesarean they would have the most beautiful scar on the farm!! ❤️

Just coming home after attending the medicolegal conference in Sydney. Dr Kotevska and I had a chance to catch up - which we never have time for in Melbourne! Also caught up with family (including my sweet granddaughter) and friends. Now on my way home and back to work!

Now I don’t want you all to think that I sit around drinking Baileys Irish cream all week (like my last post…before the long weekend !! And I was not on call !!). Last week I gave a short talk on medical teaching. As you know I teach ob/gyn trainees at the Royal Women’s and also teach University of Melbourne medical students every week. Poor things ! They have to put up with me and my silly humour amongst the actual pearls of wisdom.

I know you all think my recent holiday was spent cleaning windows. Wrong!! It was our 30th wedding anniversary and we went to the fabulous (and posh!) Saffire in Tasmania. One of their highlights is to visit the oyster farm. You put on waders and walk into waist high water. The guide shucks fresh oysters - which you wash down with champagne at 10:30 in the morning! Our guide was an absolute champion as he set up a table with a tablecloth, glasses , condiments and lime. I was sceptical. I laughed at the ridiculousness of it all. But the first glass of champagne went down a treat ! Once the storm blew in it became medicinal!! Certainly a special memory. Wait for the next anniversary instalment in my next post!

OK...I have a confession..

I have, from time to time, succumbed to the temptation of late night TV shopping. Being an obstetrician means you are up in the middle of the night and VULNERABLE to the seductive tones of TV shopping.
It started many, many years ago with a purchase of ‘The Stainorator’ (a miracle foam to remove carpet stains. I was a very junior doctor and after a particularly boozy night and after being force-fed some Berocca...but that is another story entirely..). When my new husband found it deep in the cupboard, plastered with ‘TV SHOP!’ all over it he couldn’t stop teasing me about it. That was pre-internet when TV shopping was a guilty secret. Now online purchases are compulsory! One night after a delivery I nearly handed over my credit card details for ‘Hair-agami’ (a novel little device that put your hair into various creative up-dos. Just like Origami for hair! I resisted. I was proud of myself).
Then,
I saw the ‘Jet-Hawk’!!! A nifty little pressure washer device.
Today, the 2nd day of my holidays I PROUDLY read the instructions, put it together and CLEANED THE WINDOWS! (because that is what an obstetrician does on holiday....).
And it was AWESOME!
Yay!

I’m not dead yet….

I came in to birth suite last night to find there had been some concern about my welfare over the weekend. I had left my little red car in the St V carpark over the weekend because I attended a trivia night on Friday. Wanting to have a couple of wines, I went there straight from work (as soon as a baby was born Friday night..). Went home with hubby and my son drove me into the hospital last night. Apparently, the continued presence of my car but my lack of patients in birth suite led a few astute midwives to wonder if I was dead in my rooms! Well, as Oscar Wilde said: reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

I am happy to know that people notice my absence and care about my welfare…even if it is because one person was worried that I wouldn’t be there to do their operation in a few weeks!

An enormous pleasure for me is seeing the babies I have delivered grow and become their own people. It is also so magical when I see the impression I have made on those babies. Sometimes I am told how little children have referred to me as the ‘tram doctor’ (because I they see trams outside my window). Or they pretend their little red toy cars are Dr Amber driving to the patients (I have a red Fiat Abarth). Or they write me cards or stories about how I helped deliver their little siblings. I keep these pictures and cards and stories close to my heart. Here is a fabulous diorama of my office with Dr Amber sitting at her desk! Note all the special Coles Minis used as props: like the little handwash and tissues. Of course, there is a coffee and snack on my desk too! Thanks beautiful Lili! This is so special.

Mother’s Day 2025

This is when I became a mother for the 4th time. I am so blessed and I NEVER take it for granted. The desire to nurture exists in most of us. Having a child is a ridiculously illogical thing really. Do the analysis. Yet we do it anyway. For some they can never achieve that dream and my heart aches for those people. I thought about doing IVF at the beginning of my career but, frankly, I didn’t think I could handle the grief of those people for whom the process doesn’t succeed. It’s wonderful when it does. The IVF industry thrives on desperate hopes and joyous success. You never see the faces of those who leave bereft. I take every single patient’s journey as personal mission to help with fertility (and refer as necessary) and especially to protect their precious baby (or babies) as if it was my own. I mean it. I do everything I can to achieve a healthy mum and baby. Moreover, I want every birth to be beautiful and magical, even if the process is not as straightforward as we may have hoped. So mummas enjoy your day. Count your blessings. Do something kind for someone who has not been able to become a mum. Or has lost a child. Or lost their own mother. Or has a difficult relationship with their mother or their children. It is the desire to nurture that makes a mother. It is love and kindness and thinking about someone else that is what makes a mother or any woman a really special person in someone’s life..and that person doesn’t even have to be your own child.

When your patient comes in for a gynae checkup and completely makes your day….

01/01/2025

Some of you have reached out to make sure I am OK because I have not posted much in 2024. Yes I am still alive and kicking.
Frankly it has been the busiest year of my life - too exhausted to post. 2024 included working (more than) full-time delivering hundreds of babies, doing gynae surgery, consulting at thousands of appts, doing 5 uni subjects (finishing my grad cert of arboriculture), teaching 6 terms of med students doing O&G (and co-ordinating the programme), tutoring another group of med students every week as part of their Professional Practice development, running my medical practice, supporting my youngest child through year 12 and becoming a grandmother! Not to mention being a wife, mother to 3 other kids, friend, colleague.
NO TIME was spent cooking.
I have also reflected on the purpose of social media, in general and for me personally. It is a toxic space at times and, frankly, I do not wish to invite any negativity into my life. Don’t need it. (Neither do you..) I have looked at other doctors’ pages and, whilst much of their content is informative and fun, there are aspects that I find concerning. Often content is posted by someone else (practice staff) not the doctor themselves.
I have decided I will post more regularly this year-but my goal is to maintain authenticity (everything, as always, is posted by me), avoid negativity (I will block/ delete any negativity that has no constructive purpose. Differences of opinion are fine.), respect privacy and be ethical.
I will post in the form of a regular video/ chat session to cover topics that interest you, as well as some other life/ fun stuff. I have been trying to write a book for about 5 years so I want some time to do that. I want to revive my ‘chat in the garden’ programme.
I will post a poll to find the times that suit you people the best.
I have made some changes in my life to allow me more time. I will still be working the same but better organised. I have pulled back studying (OK, I am still doing 1 subject per semester to complete my masters of bioethics and cert of garden design). My youngest is going interstate to uni, so life will be different.
I hope you will come on the journey with me!
