Obstetricians offer women’s health services and focus on the management of pregnancy and childbirth. They can also provide high risk pregnancy care and are trained to manage any complications that may arise. Someone practicing Maternal-Foetal Medicine (MFM) receives additional training and is qualified to oversee even the most complicated pregnancies (along with normal pregnancies).
If you are looking for an obstetrician to provide your antenatal care in Melbourne, be aware that only seven MFM professionals are practising in private obstetrics in Victoria. Dr. Stephen Cole is a senior consultant and head of one of the four antenatal units at the Royal Women’s Hospital, and he is also head of the Multiple Pregnancy Clinic. He also works as an obstetrician at Epworth Freemasons and is an obstetrician at Frances Perry House.
