Natural delivery w Philip Ho

Hi everyone,


i am 38 wks preggo and hoping for a natural delivery at Canossa. Anyone whom can share their experiences with Dr Ho and his anaethetist is much appreciated


My questions are :


When will the doc really arrive during the labour? At early stage of labour ie 2-3 cm dilation and will he stay generally till I am in full labour action ie which could be hours?? Or does he comes and goes?


How abt the Anaethetist? As I am requesting for epidural at Stage 1 of labour - will he stay on till actual labour to adjust any of the dosage if required or does the midwife take over the leg work after the catheter is inserted?


I have birth plan ready for the Canossa nurses - do they follow thru the instructions or do I have to keep reminding them of the plan existence?


i guess i am feeling nervous as this is my first pregnancy and time is ticking away.....


many thanks!

thank you Crystal for the vote of confidence in Dr Ho. Yes.. I have made it very clear to him that I want natural delivery unless its not medically feasible during the labour due to complications.


I will definitely need to restress to hubby abt the birth plan so that he can take charge if I am medically knock out.



cheers!

hi Waffle_hk


oh definitely with epidural!!! I am currently due to be induced on next Tuesday... not sure what to expect as I am still hoping that bubs will come out naturally before tuesday if possible. Fingers and toes are crossing!!


Some say with inducement - the speed of delivery is quicker but when rupturing the water bags - the pain maybe heighten. Hance - slower recovery. I really dont know.......


Hopefully - will have a speedy and safe delivery!


thanks!
