Hi SP,
I got to know about Dr Paul via the website, read a lot of birth stories and found that many pple recommend him as one of the most pro natural gynae. I was still in Shanghai then and decided to consult him when I came back during chinese new year holiday. I told him I had two previous c-sect and b4 I can tell him what I want, he smile and said"don't tell me you want to try natural now" and I said"why do you think I come to you?" He didnt say no to my request but he lay down the conditions for a successful VBA2C and we agreed base on those conditions and I only start seeing him regularly at week30 when I came back Singapore. He will ask for the reason for the previous c-sect and basically, he will not induce even if the bb is overdue as that will increase the chance of wound rupture, of course provided that the bb is in good condition to continue staying in there. Of course as usual, bb should not be too big...mine probably exception, her head circumference was 37cm. We even discuss when I should start using epidural in order not to jeopardise the whole delivery process. I have not gone into labour myself in my previous two pregnancy, so we do not know what to expect for #3, we just have to take a step at a time and discuss what we want to do next. Rest assured that he will grant the wish of the mother as long as the request does not post major danger to both bb n mom.
