This is because women’s health reimburses horribly and OB units are only profitable if they have an attached NICU. If OB/Gyn services were paid what they’re actually worth. There would be maternity units everywhere.

"Period cramps are often just a precursor to a whole range of medical events they end up having to endure, from having precancerous cells burned off your cervix to having your fallopian tubes unblocked without anaesthetic." Great piece from Rhiannon L Cosslett theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

EIGHTY TWO percent. I had a 2nd trimester miscarriage in my first year as a consultant surgeon. It was devastating. She would have been 17 now. It's just awful to think this is such a common experience for women surgeons. 💔💔💔 #GenderEquity #ILookLikeASurgeon

An excellent article outlining the value of private maternity care. We need these conversations to ensure we continue to offer choice, full continuity of care, and safety. apple.news/AyTmtqlL5R6aN1…

Induction of Labour from 38 weeks for macrosomic babies reduces incidence of shoulder dystocia, emergency caesarean, forceps and PPH. An important addition to the evidence for women making informed decisions about their care. thelancet.com/journals/lance…

Planned birth (both caesarean and IOL) at 39 weeks versus expectant management in low-risk women reduces perinatal mortality and other severe adverse outcomes. Strongest neonatal and maternal safety benefits seen with planned caesarean birth. thelancet.com/journals/eclin…

Biggest ever Australian birth outcomes data published overnight, comparing low risk women birthing in public versus private hospitals. Outcomes overwhelmingly safer for both mum and baby under obstetric led private care. Care also cheaper to provide. obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.11…
