ABOUT PERTH OBSTETRICS & GYNAECOLOGY SPECIALISTS
We have a low caesarean section rate and are proud to provide old fashioned medical care to women. We listen & offer the birth you would like in a safe & respectful environment.
With over 12 years in operation & well over 6000 babies delivered by our team - you are in safe hands at POGS.
When you choose to ‘go private’ with POGS, you choose: flexibility & shorter waiting times, can have your partner stay with you overnight, a more extended hospital stay, your choice of specialist obstetrician, access to breastfeeding & mental health support, access to long-term contraception post-birth & so much more.
Our group practice is the only one where you'll meet & feel comfortable with everyone on the on-call roster. With our low caesarean section rate, we are proud to support women who choose to have a vaginal delivery. Our doctors are highly skilled in all aspects of birth and delivery. We will never compromise your or your baby's safety but we can assure you that we will give you every chance to achieve your chosen delivery. Some women make an informed decision to have a caesarean section, also known a "maternal choice" caesarean section. We also respect their wishes and their right to make that choice.
All our doctors are accomplished and practicing gynaecological surgeons with honed surgical skills that are useful in difficult or complex caesarean section and we also have the experience in high-risk obstetrics.
All of our staff - our female & male specialists, friendly midwives & amazing administrative team - are here to support you, every step of the way.
With you every step of the way.
POGS provides Specialist Obstetrics services in Perth. Together, since 2011, we have delivered over 6000 babies.
POGS Specialist Obstetricians are committed to care for you and your baby throughout your pregnancy, birth and the 4th trimester!
We make private Specialist Obstetrics care affordable by offering reasonable rates and minimising out-of-pocket expenses where possible.
Patient Resources
Women’s Health & Gynaecology
We involve our patients in their care and help them to understand their diagnosis and treatment options to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Our specialists offer diagnosis, detailed examinations and a wide range of surgical and non-surgical treatment options.
Our doctors are also recognised gynaecology and pelvic floor specialists who work with a multi-disciplinary team of professionals to ensure that patients receive innovative but evidence-based care, that is not biased by a single specialist's view.

Breastfeeding shouldn't hurt! If you choose to breastfeed, you can rest assured it should be a gentle and nurturing experience for you and your baby.

Welcome to the wonderful world of baby poop! ๐ฉ Your newborn's very first bowel movement will likely be black and sticky, called meconium. This is simply the waste that has accumulated in their digestive system before birth. No need to worry, it's perfectly normal! By day two, their poop should soften up a bit, though still be dark in colour. Over the next few days, you'll see a transition to greenish-brown and finally, a sunny mustard yellow. As the poop changes colour, it will also become less sticky and more plentiful. While newborn poop may not be the most glamorous topic, it's an important part of your baby's health.

Newborn tummies are tiny, and frequent feeding in the early days and weeks helps ensure your baby gets enough milk. ๐ง๐ผ If breastfeeding, expect to breastfeed at least 8 to 12 times in a 24-hour period, which means frequent feedings (every 2-3 hours) throughout the day and night. ๐ผ Feeding time starts when your baby begins sucking, not when you finish nursing. Cluster feeding, where your baby feeds very frequently for a few hours, is also common and often followed by a longer sleep. In the beginning, you might need to wake your extra-sleepy baby to ensure they get enough milk. Always be guided by your baby's hunger cues. ๐ถ Call (08) 6270 0123 or email: reception@pogs.com.au for an appointment with POGS or more information. #pogs #pogsperth #obstetrics #baby #whattoexpect #newbornsButton -

This lays the groundwork for future language and communication skills. ๐๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฑ๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ๐: Make eye contact and smile at your baby often. This interaction not only strengthens your bond but also encourages them to follow your gaze, which helps develop their neck and head control. Be mindful of their cues — if they look away, it might be a sign they need a break. ๐ง๐๐บ๐บ๐ ๐ง๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ: Start with short sessions (1-2 minutes) a few times a day and gradually increase the duration. Tummy time strengthens your baby's head, neck, and upper body muscles, which are crucial for future milestones like holding their head up, crawling, and pulling themselves up. Remember, always supervise your baby during tummy time and always put them to sleep on their back. By incorporating these simple activities into your daily routine, you'll be nurturing your newborn's development and fostering a loving and secure relationship.

Can you fold it with one hand for quick bus trips or car loading? ๐ผ If you live upstairs, consider pram weight for easy carrying. ๐ผ Thinking of more kids?

The ๐๐๐ (๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐๐ญ๐จ๐ซ๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ง๐๐ฒ๐ญ๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐ข๐ซ๐ฎ๐ฌ) immunisation is now available through your GP & as of the 1st May 2024, St John of God Subiaco Hospital will offer immunisation to all newborn babies, with parental consent. Babies that were born between 1st October 2023 & 30th April 2024 are also eligible to be immunised via the “catch up” program through their GP. The specialists at POGS recommend that parents of recently born babies ๐ฌ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ wait 6 to 8 weeks for the usual first vaccination schedule, but rather take their baby to their GP as soon as convenient after birth to avoid the possibility of acquiring the RSV infection in the first 6 weeks. ๐๐๐๐ง ๐ฆ๐๐๐๐ง ๐๐ข๐ฅ ๐ ๐ข๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ก๐๐ข is available via the link in our bio. #pogs #pogsperth #perthobstetricsandgynaecologyspecialists #rsv #babyimmunisationButton -

Our Specialists have noticed bit of confusion among our parents regarding these tests, so we wanted to provide more information to clear things up. Read the POGS Specialists letter to parents ๐ฏ๐ข๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ค ๐ข๐ง ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐๐ข๐จ. In summary, the non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT) & the genetic pre-natal carrier screening test are two different & separate tests! The non-invasive prenatal test (NIPT), tests for the risk of Down Syndrome & is done around 10 - 11 weeks of pregnancy. This test can also tell the sex of the baby & the risk of trisomy 18 (Edwards syndrome) & trisomy 13 (Patau syndrome). It can occasionally suggest sex chromosome abnormalities. NIPT testing is about $400 & there is no Medicare rebate. Pre-natal genetic carrier screening is a test that ideally should be done before you fall pregnant or as a part of the 'planning pregnancy' journey. As of 1/11/23, this test has become free for patients who have Medicare, therefore it is offered as a part of standard care at your first visit. Pre-natal genetic carrier screening tests for three genetic conditions: Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy & Fragile X syndrome. Being a carrier for these conditions is considered more common than other genetic conditions, which are numerous but rare. As you may have experienced, our first visit is long & there are many things to cover - so it's important to ask questions & read all the information provided in your POGS folder. ๐ฉท ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐: pogs.com.au/difference-between-nipt-genetic-pre-natal-carrier-screening-test or via the link in our bio.
