I don't think Dr. Ghosh prefers c-sections - he will however recommend one if you need it. I had my baby 4 months ago and although I have a medical history that normally always leads to c-section, he still tried for a vaginal delivery till the very end. I think he's a fab. doctor. He delivers at Matilda, Canossa and Adventist but prefers Matilda as he and his anaesthesia guy actually live there - so in case of an emergency he will be there immediately.

Glad he's changed. When I had D four years ago, he was quite clear about his pref to c-section. He even asked a couple of moms in my pregnancy group (all first time moms) why they wanted to go through the pain of a natural and tried to convince them to schedule c-sections.

I saw Dr. Ghosh and I think he is the best in town ! He is extremely experienced and cautious. I heard that he actually prefers natural ways of doing things. I wanted a vaginal delivery and he totally supported me and didn't ask me to have a c-section. I think you are in good hands ! :bighug
Agree, you are in very good hands. I did end up having an emergency c-section, but he allowed me to try a natural delivery over 40 hours first and he in no way tried to encourage me to go down the c-section route during that time or during my pre-natal visits. He is extremely relaxed with you but cautious at the same time and I would not hesitate to recommend him. He convinced me to go to the Matilda as he lives on site, but he will deliver at other hospitals. Like all OB/GYN in Hong Kong, be prepared to have your pre-natal visits delayed/re-scheduled as he is very busy but 110% worth it!
Good luck :burnout:

Gosh camp vs Lord camp 
I "compared" my experience with some friends of mine who are Dr Ghosh patients and I stick to my choice of Dr Lucy Lord. She also serves in Matilda & Adventis and she's been great to me. As a the "expat-friendly" doctors in HK she is very aware of the patients choices and wishes. I wanted to try the natural way and only have a C-section in case of emergency. I had a long delivery (but painless thanks to her) and a beautiful baby born naturally nearly one year ago.
We are now trying to have a #2 and I cant imagine to go through that with somebody else than her !!

I couldn't disagree more with the last poster. Dr Ghosh never displayed any behaviour that was even close to egotistic in any of my visits and at all times encourages me to have a stress free and calm pregnancy by never letting me sweat the small stuff. He has a wonderful, calm prescence with a great sense of humour. He 100% knows his profession, he is a brilliant sonographer and helped me try all sorts of technques to turn my breech baby, who never turned. He offered to still perform a natural delivery as he is one of the only doctors who will deliver a breech baby naturally, but we chose to have a c-section. I NEVER exerperienced even a skerric of pain from start to finish, was up the next day, walking my dogs back at home with the baby pram day 5. He is brilliant at c-sections and I will definitely go to him for my 2nd.
