We couldn’t be happier with the care, kindness and expertise provided by Hugh and the lovely team at Sydney Babies. The initial phone call before a consult allowed us to ask any questions and made us feel welcome straight away. Hugh took the time to explain anything in detail and approached our journey with a relaxed, positive yet professional outlook. We felt in such safe hands when welcoming our new baby and couldn’t recommend this team more.
Sydney babies my extended family , Rene, Veronica and of course the best OB Dr Hugh Porter.
I’m so grateful to have had Dr Hugh Porter as my obstetrician for the delivery of my baby. I can’t thank him enough for his care and professionalism. He always took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease during appointments and labour. I felt genuinely cared for throughout the whole experience. Highly recommend Dr Hugh Porter to any expecting mums! Until next time much love from Taylor , Chad and baby Layton ♥️

I can’t begin to thank Hugh and the team at Sydney Babies enough - from the initial phone call with the reception team (René, Veronica and Gill) we felt so welcome and at home.
Hugh is a one of a kind Obstetrician, one you struggle to find! He is calm, kind and caring and took the time in our initial appointment to get to know us as a family and our wishes through the pregnancy and birth. He eased my anxiety through the pregnancy with additional scans and was always on call 24/7 which made the world of a difference as well as coming to see us everyday in hospital. Our birth was so healing and what I had always dreamed of.
Megan, his midwife and lactation consultant was phenomenal and what a privilege to be able to see her during pregnancy and postpartum! After not being able to breastfeed my first baby, thanks to her and her support this journey is completely different!
If you are looking for a genuine and holistic approach to pregnancy, birth and postpartum Sydney Babies is the way to go and I would not hesitate to recommend.

As a first-time mum, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better doctor than Dr Hugh. From my very first appointment, he made me feel calm, informed, and completely supported. When it came time for the birth of my son, I was absolutely terrified, but Dr Hugh and his amazing team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and safe. His calm and reassuring manner, along with his incredible professionalism, made all the difference, I knew I was in the best possible hands. His follow-up care was just as wonderful, he always took the time to check in, answer questions, and make sure both my baby and I were doing well. And the way he would light up and jump at the chance for a cuddle with my little boy just melted my heart. You can tell he truly loves what he does. I’ll always be so grateful to Dr Hugh and the Sydney Babies team (Renè, Veronica & Gill) for their kindness, care, and the genuine warmth they brought to such a special time in my life. ❤️
I can’t begin to thank Hugh and the Sydney babies team enough for their love, care and support throughout my pregnancy journey. They were always willing to help when needed, whether it be flexibility with appointments or answering anxious questions. The level of care that Hugh provides to his patients is paramount - he is a dedicated and hardworking obstetrician and I will forever be grateful for him bringing my beautiful daughter into the world. From the bottom of my heart, to the entire team, thank you 🤍
Hugh and his team are phenomenal. Pregnancy is a beautiful yet scary journey with lots of unknowns but having the right people with you makes all the difference. Hugh and his team knew I was anxious from the get go and treated me with the care and love that I needed, from phone calls to check in to reassurance scans early on in the pregnancy and Hugh’s way of explaining concepts to my husband and I in a way that made us understand without getting overwhelmed. Having appointments with Megan, a midwife and lactation consultant, during and after pregnancy as part of the Sydney Babies package was invaluable, especially with the difficulties in breastfeeding that I had immediately post birth. I absolutely would not hesitate to recommend Sydney Babies to other mamas and am so grateful to the team for the safe arrival of my baby.
We had an absolutely amazing experience with Hugh and the wonderful Sydney Babies team. From the very first phone call with the reception staff (René, Veronica & Gill!), we felt so welcomed and at home.
Hugh is the kind of obstetrician every family hopes to have looking after them through their pregnancy journey. Not only is he professional and brilliant at what he does, Hugh is genuine and approachable, where he really took the time to get to know us as people, not just as patients. His calm and relaxed manner gave us such confidence throughout the pregnancy journey. It’s clear he goes over and above in the level of care he provides, for example, offering 24/7 support if we ever needed it, and he even came to visit us daily in the hospital after the birth.
We also wanted to give a special mention to Megan, who was wonderful as both a midwife and lactation consultant. Her kindness, care and expertise were invaluable during the pregnancy and postpartum period too.
We’re so grateful for the experience we had with Sydney Babies, we couldn’t have asked for a better team to guide us through this journey!

My partner and I loved our experience with Sydney Babies. The entire team were incredibly kind and attentive. Hugh went above and beyond to make himself available to talk at any time, which was so reassuring. René was always so warm and welcoming. And Megan (midwife/lactation consultant) was such an incredible additional resource of knowledge.
We’re so glad that we chose Hugh for the delivery of our first baby and would highly recommend him to friends/family.

Hugh is an excellent obstetrician, very attentive and caring. My pregnancy and birth journey had its challenges but one thing was constant - I felt very safe under the care of Hugh and his team at Sydney Babies. Hugh ensured our daughter was brought into this world as safely and healthily as possible and we will forever be grateful for his expert care! I would not hesitate in recommending Hugh to all my family and friends!
I couldn’t be happier that I had Dr Hugh deliver my baby. Not only is he one of the nicest people I’ve met, he looked after me so well and made me feel so comfortable the whole way through my pregnancy and during the delivery. I’d be thrilled if I was able to have another baby in the future and have Hugh as my obstetrician again.
From pre-conception all the way to post-birth, we could not imagine having our care handled by anyone but Dr Hugh Porter and his A-grade team (Megan, Rene and Veronica). The perfect mix of compassion and professionalism, the entire process was seamless and exciting. Dr Hugh delivered our first baby via elective caesarean and we cannot wait to return in the future!
From my initial enquiry through to the 6 week postnatal appointment Dr Porter and his team made us feel so comfortable and like we had known them for years. Throughout the pregnancy, Dr Porter was so informative, relaxed and knowledgeable that despite this being my first pregnancy I never once had any concerns or worries as I knew I was in good hands. When my labour didn’t progress and I needed to have an unplanned C section, there was no concerns or angst as I knew Dr Porter had mine and my baby’s health and wellbeing as his priority. I can’t thank him enough for safely delivering my beautiful daughter and would highly recommend him.
If I could give 100 stars I would! I have never been to a doctor before where I have felt so cared for and heard until I met Dr. Porter and the team. From my first phone call with René I instantly knew this was the practice for us. Right through to the end I received nothing but exceptional care. Dr Porter was amazing throughout my whole pregnancy and delivery. His expertise, kindness, and reassurance made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. I can’t wait to have another baby just so I can see the whole team again. I would highly recommend him to anyone seeking an exceptional obstetrician! Thank you so much Dr Porter and team. You truely are the industry leaders.
Choosing an OB was one of the most important decisions of my pregnancy journey, and from the very beginning, I knew I wanted someone I could trust—someone with expertise, but also someone personable, approachable, and who felt more like a friend. I wanted an experience that I would not only cherish but be eager to rave about to friends and family. Well, I can honestly say that Dr. Hugh Porter and the team at Sydney Babies gave me exactly that and more!
From the moment I discovered Sydney Babies on social media, I was impressed. The informative posts and heartwarming videos gave me a glimpse of Dr. Porter’s approach, and I instantly felt a connection. His warmth, care, and professionalism shone through, and I was convinced he was the right choice for us after our initial meeting.
What truly sets Dr. Porter apart is his modern and caring approach. He goes above and beyond in ways that are rare in the field—like providing his personal mobile number to patients, ensuring he’s always accessible whenever you need him. The daily hospital visits when bub arrived were also a comfort.Even when I moved to the Southern Highlands mid-pregnancy, it was a no-brainer to continue seeing him. The care and support he provided made it easy to travel for my appointments, and I never once felt like I was missing out on anything.
The integrated midwife support at Sydney Babies is another standout feature. I honestly didn’t realise how much we needed it, but it turned out to be one of the greatest benefits. My husband and I left each midwife appointment with Mathilde & Megan feeling empowered, educated, and completely reassured that we had a strong support system in place. My mother attended one of the midwife appointments with us and was extremely impressed.
From the very first moment you step through the door, you’re greeted like family—because to Dr. Porter and his team, you truly are family. Renè and Veronica at the front desk are two of the loveliest people I’ve met, always so welcoming and kind; we could talk until the cows come home! It’s easy to feel at ease when you’re surrounded by such a warm and genuine team.
Thanks to Sydney Babies, my entire pregnancy experience has been seamless, worry-free, and incredibly enjoyable. Not everyone raves about their OB, but my husband & I absolutely do!

Dr. Hugh Porter is an exceptional obstetrician who made our pregnancy journey incredibly special. His personable and professional demeanor put us at ease from the very beginning. He was always patient, understanding, and took the time to answer all of our questions.
Not only was Dr. Porter knowledgeable and skilled, but he also created a warm and welcoming environment for us. His team was equally wonderful, making us feel like part of the family. Having his office in the same building as the hospital was incredibly convenient, especially after the birth when he checked on us daily.
