Hi, my wife will give birth soon in these few weeks. Can anybody suggest Gynae who PRO NORMAL DELIVERY IN KL AREA? Thanks.

What about HER gynae ?

Her doctor is Edmand Lai from Pantai Cheras, who told her that mostly need to be Surgery................

Thanks MrPRINCE MsPRINCESS for your infor, mind to tell us more on your story on Dr Tee and Dr Elizabeth ??

few weeks more? hmm.. is there a special concern on why the gynae advice your wife to go for csec?

U can try Dr Choong in Pantai Bangsar. Very highly recommended from mummies in facebook group.

C-sec is easier for doc cause they dont have to rush to hospital in the wee morning, they can plan their holidays and they dont have to deal with screaming mamas

Actually on wat circumstances doc will recommend c sect? On my 7th month ultrasound, the operator said baby hvnt turn, next mon goin for my appointment n ultrasound again, if baby still hvnt turn does it mean c sect for me oso?

Malpresentation as in the baby is not in the "correct" position during term and etc... more indications ,the doc might recommend caesarean section. It depends on the doc, some hospital policies do not perform breech normal delivery.

28th weeks/7th months is still very early to judge for the method of delivery. Early routine ultrasound was done on you for just assessing on the fetal condition to evaluate the fetus size and the amount of your amniotic fluid.

Baby position is fine, head down already, the reason is low amniotic fluid level (7 cm). This is the reason he recommend for c-sec.

i had my c sec at Columbia Asia Balakong, Cheras with Dr. Haw.

My baby size is small and I too have low amniotic fluid level (during week 34) and he suggested me to have c sec instead of normal delivery. I drank lots of water (dun really know will this help or not) but I manage to wait till week38.

I really wanted normal delivery as well, but it is highly not suitable so i agree with c sec.

This doc is good. Fast and accurate plus very detail concern explaining all my quiestion =)

Any liquor leakage before this? How about the fetal weight and size? Unless there's a sign of fetal distress, normal delivery is still possible for normal fetal "head facing down" position.

search for 'gentle birthing group' in fb. they have their methods on how to increase amniotic fluids and i believe they can advice u more..

good luck!

I delivered under edmund lai via c- sec too coz he mentioned my cerviks open too slow. 7 hrs 5cm for first baby. He broke my waterbag n said cant wait. Bb safety is first priority. But his skill for c sec is good.

Maggie, your amniotic level how many cm during week 34-38 week? And what size when your baby delivery ? my wife did drink a lot of water too, and hope this will help.................







how many

Added on October 28, 2012, 3:50 pmSeyuripa: Dr never inform us have liquor leaking before or not, the baby size is 1 week behind the actual week ( 34 weeks now),but from what Dr said: Most
probably need to C Sec..........that's why need to listen to more opinion here and other doctor.

that's strange... i was with Dr Edmund Lai too but he didn't suggest me to go for c-section.

Try princess Court Doctor paul tay

One of the most important things if you want a natural delivery is to stay active... keep doing light exercise throughout your pregnancy so you maintain a healthy appetite, but don't gain too much excess weight and most importantly so your muscles stay strong enough and your stamina high enough to deliver your baby. A lot of people end up having a c-section after a long labor (or after becoming completely exhausted) because they have been sitting around doing nothing for 6 months. Remember pregnancy is not a disease, you are not ill or disabled. We still went for long walks around the hills of cameron highlands when i was 8months pregnant on our babymoon. Of course don't sudenly start running marathons when you are pregnant if you haven't been doing so before, but maintaining your regular level of exercise throughout most of your pregnancy is very very healthy (unless you are a competetive weightlifter lol, then better stop).

Setting up a birth preferences list (Birth plan) is a good way of making sure your wishes are met by the doctor nursing staff on call. In your birth preferences you can list under exactly what circumstances you would be willing to have a c-section as well as anything else you prefer. By discussing your birth preferences with your gyne early on, you get a good idea of whether he/she is suitable for you. Also make sure to tell the nurse on call that you have a birth preference list and give her a copy when you check in, during my deliverly the nurse tried to keep me strapped to a monitor making it impossible for me to move around as she was unaware that i ha a birth prefereces list in my file until i told her.

Also remember to include your husband in your birth preferences list, make sure he agrees with your choices and can help stay on 'your side' if the doctor or nurses are trying to push you to do something you don't want to do. At the end of the day it is your birth and only you can know how your body is feeling.

When my son was a week away from his due date my doctor (despite signing my birth preferences stating i would only have a c-section in the case of fetal distress) wanted to book me in for a c-section on my due date which i refused. He tried to pressure me into it a little but there was no medical reason for c-sec so he had to respect my wishes. You can safely wait up to 2 weeks after your due date as long as your baby isn't huge or any complications arise.
My son was born naturally just over a week after he was due. He was out so quickly the doctor almost missed it and i had to wait for him as he came running down the corridor lol.

As long as you have a good doctor that you trust and like, and insist on c-sec as a last resort both in your birth preferences and when the conversation happens you should be able to deliver naturally with most doctors (assuming there are no complications, make sure to do your own research on what can go wrong and what options you have well before your due date, discuss them with your husband and choose what procedures you are comfortable with and which are last resorts so you are well prepared to make any necessary decisions on the day).

Go gov lar, they anti surgery one... die die want u natural if possible. 2 experience from my friends:

1. Over due date, induce in gov hosp for natural birth. Pain till the mother tak tahan still do not allow operate until pain for 2 days. Third day operate (can see how much they want us to go natural)

2. pregnant with heart prob. Go for gov and smooth natural birth with no complication. Very good job (if at private, they might ask u to operate even before due date lo)

Me also delivery at government, natural birth. Save $$$ somemore...

Agreed too...govt will not encourage operation...wonder whether u had open file in govt before? If yes, u may consider to deliver in sungai buloh hospital...

Highly recommend Dr Chuah Bee Poh in Tung Shin Hospital.
Not only pro normal delivery, he also do not do episiotomy!
Charges are reasonable as well. He is the best in town!
