Obstetrician that's pro-natural delivery? Dr Ho, Cheung, Gosh?

Sea_Princess, I had a natural delivery with Dr Ho too and will go to him again for my future deliveries.

No pressure whatsoever to do anything beyond my wish (never even discussed C-section). He was always there for me and was very professional.

Great information everyone, I am in the same boat, so this helps my decision making also!

i had dr.gosh who was very supportive of my plans for a natural delivery. the only thing about his appts is that you would have to wait for at least 20 minutes each time.

Dr. Doo

I can second what others have said about Dr. Doo. Although I have yet to give birth, I chose him because of what I had heard from others regarding how supportive he was of natural birth. I don't think that we have ever talked about a c-section other than when I asked him to talk about it. He was also recommended to me by my Canadian GP who knew of my strong preference for natural birth.

Just another vote from me for Dr Ho. I had a natural delivery with him for my first baby last year and I'm hoping for a second one in a couple of months time. When things got a little complicated with my son's delivery he made my husband and I feel really safe and that he had it all under control. I have found him excellent at every stage and he has become more friendly as my pregnancies have progressed having been a little reserved to start with. He never even mentioned a c-section to me at any stage, although I too have heard he is excellent at them.

I had Grace Cheung for my second pregnancy (had Dr Dawkins for the first but he went back to Australia). I also recommend her. Nice bedside manner and knows her stuff. I liked Central Health (the clinic were she is based), midwives, nurses and reception staff all lovely but can be hard to get appointments.

I would vote for Dr. Philip Ho, both my babies were delivered by him (natural birth). My husband and I are very confident of his professional manner and practise. Kelly and the rest of the nurses in the clinic are friendly too, especially Kelly whom i'ved called whenever i have any queries, she has never turn me away from any concerns i have. Dr. Ho is not a man with many words, but he is very reassuring in every step of the way during the pregnancy and especially during the labour! We really appreciate Dr. Ho's sense of humour during the labour to help ease the anxiety.
All the best to you...
