Michael J. Peek is an obstetrician-gynaecologist based in Sydney, NSW, Australia. He looks after women during pregnancy, and also supports care around the time of birth and in the early newborn period.
His work often focuses on pregnancies that need extra monitoring. This can include gestational diabetes, high blood pressure in pregnancy, preeclampsia, and in some cases eclampsia. He also helps manage conditions like intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, including cholestasis, and bile duct or bile flow problems that may affect pregnancy.
In many cases, he deals with concerns about how a baby is growing. That can mean checking and managing intrauterine growth restriction, or supporting care when a baby may be larger than expected, such as macrosomia. Placenta previa is another issue that can require careful planning for safe delivery.
Outside of pregnancy-specific issues, he also considers other health factors that can affect outcomes. For example, asthma and obesity can make pregnancy more complicated, and he helps coordinate care when extra support is needed. At times, he may also be involved with situations linked to infections and fever, including strep throat, as part of overall pregnancy safety.
After birth, his care can extend to newborn concerns, including newborn low blood sugar and infant hyperglycaemia. In some situations, he may also help with issues like infant respiratory distress syndrome, where early support matters a lot. He also looks at conditions in babies that are more complex, such as rare congenital issues like aplasia cutis congenita, clouston syndrome, and cranioectodermal dysplasia, where specialist input can help with planning.
Over time, this kind of work means balancing medical checks with practical decisions for families. He aims to keep things clear and grounded, especially when a pregnancy is classed as higher risk.
