Dr Stephen Cole

I am a specialist obstetrician with over 20 years’ experience. My vision is to provide an exceptional service to families on their pregnancy journey, from before pregnancy through to after birth, no matter what your circumstances, and I am as passionate about this now as I was the day I started. In addition to my specialist obstetric training, I have additional qualifications and experience in Maternal-Fetal Medicine (the management of complex or high risk pregnancies), and obstetric ultrasound, meaning that I can provide the highest level care, no matter how straightforward or complicated your pregnancy may be.

My additional training and qualifications in Maternal-Fetal Medicine and ultrasound, along with my years of experience looking after more complicated pregnancies, means that I can provide expert care for even the most complicated or high risk pregnancies. These include:

• Multiple pregnancies (twins, triplets and beyond)
• Pregnancies after IVF
• Pregnancies in older women
• Pregnancies complicated my medical diseases in the mother, including hypertension, heart diseases, kidney problems, auto-immune conditions such as inflammatory bowel diseases, thyroid conditions, and many others
• Pregnancies after a history of preterm birth, still birth, recurrent miscarriage or other complications

I am particularly passionate about supporting women through pregnancy when there has been a history of birth trauma (both physical and emotional), or other traumatic experiences related to pregnancy. I believe that creating a safe and supported environment is crucial to helping women navigate pregnancy after a previously traumatic experience and have witnessed many times the incredible healing power of a positive pregnancy journey.

My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, respectful, and trusting environment with exceptional individualised clinical and personal care and, to support women and their families as they traverse the incredible journey from pre-pregnancy through to parenthood.
