Uncovering Invisible Illness in Women’s Health: Kate’s Story



From a young age, Kate knew she wanted a family. But what she didn’t know then, was the journey to motherhood would be more complicated than expected. After experiencing miscarriages previously, Kate and her husband Aaron were nervous when they got pregnant again, but were relieved when they found out that baby Ruby had a heartbeat!

With the finish line in sight, at their 36 weeks scan, the pair faced a new hurdle when they were told that their baby girl may not live a full and healthy life. However, thanks to new and improved ultrasound technology Dr. Robert Cincotta, Maternal Fetal Medicine Specialist, and his team at Queensland ultrasound for women were able to detect her intracerebral bleed and make an early diagnosis. This allowed them to create a new birthing plan to ensure the safest possible delivery for Ruby and Kate.
