Compassionate Obstetric Care for Every Stage of Your Pregnancy
Pregnancy can be one of life’s most transformative experiences. It can bring joy and anticipation, but also uncertainty. I am Dr Carin Black, an experienced Obstetrician in Melbourne. I believe every woman deserves to feel heard, understood, and empowered throughout her pregnancy and birth, with continuity of care from a familiar face at every visit.
Whether you are planning your first baby, have a routine low risk pregnancy, are navigating a complex medical history, or recovering from pregnancy loss, you deserve care that genuinely supports you. I would be honoured to walk alongside you during this special chapter.
Please schedule a consultation so we can create a personalised pregnancy plan that helps you feel informed, supported, and confident in your choices.

Areas of Care
I provide obstetric care across a wide range of situations:
Pre-pregnancy Counselling
Thoughtful planning to support a healthy pregnancy. These consultations allow us to review your medical history, discuss individual risk factors, and talk through what to expect when planning for a baby.
Management of Miscarriage & Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Compassionate, supportive care focused on medical management, investigation of recurrent miscarriage, and guidance as you heal and consider next steps.
Routine Antenatal Care
Comprehensive care throughout pregnancy, including bedside ultrasound at each visit to monitor your baby’s growth and wellbeing, along with personalised discussions to plan your birth according to your preferences.
VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean)
Evidence-based counselling and careful planning to support a safe vaginal birth after a previous caesarean, where appropriate.
High-risk pregnancy & pre-existing medical conditions
Individualised care for women requiring closer monitoring due to medical conditions such as hypertension, diabetes(type 1, type 2, or gestational), kidney, cardiac, autoimmune or thyroid conditions, previous pregnancy complications, or increased risk of preterm birth.
Multiple pregnancies
Specialist care for twin pregnancies, with close monitoring and support. I am supportive of vaginal twin birth if this is your preference and conditions are favourable.
Postpartum Recovery and Family Planning
Ongoing care after birth to assess physical and emotional recovery, discuss contraception options including IUD insertion, and plan future pregnancies with confidence.
Pre-pregnancy & Fertility Support
Starting or growing your family can be an exciting, but also uncertain time. Infertility affects around one in six Australian couples, and for many, it can be an emotional and deeply personal journey. If you are facing this, you are not alone.
Pre-pregnancy consultations offer a supportive, confidential space to review your medical history, discuss concerns, and plan thoughtful next steps.
Whether you are preparing to conceive and wish to optimise your health, have experienced pregnancy loss or have medical factors to consider, these appointments provide clarity, reassurance, and a personalised plan for the journey ahead.
With a GP referral, you can book a pre-pregnancy consultation today and take the first step with care that supports your goals.
