Our Motherhood tells the real-life stories of how mothers are made; their hopes and aspirations, experiences of bringing their babies into the world and the influences of their own family and history. Thank you for dropping by.
Our Motherhood is published by Dr. Danny Tucker, an obstetrician in Townsville, Australia. Please get in touch if you have any questions via email at admin@dannytucker.net or SMS 0419 632 654. Danny has been a practising obstetrician at Townsville University Hospital for over 12 years and is an Associate Professor at James Cook University. He offers private consultations for pre-pregnancy counselling, gynaecology problems and birth debriefs but doesn’t do private birthing services.
Danny believes in compassionate maternity care, support and recovery after challenging birth experiences and training staff in complex communication skills and trauma-informed care. He is an Open Disclosure training faculty member with Clinical Excellence, QLD and a Clinical Advisory Committee member for the consumer group Australasian Birth Trauma Association. Danny is passionate about the power of photography to connect people with experiences and to demonstrate the unexpected beauty and strength of all involved. He provides free birth and neonatal photography to families he meets in his work.
As with all real-life stories, there is sometimes sadness as well as joy. If you are affected by any issues that arise in these pages, please consult your GP or a support service such as Beyond Blue.
