I given birth (natural birth delivery) at KKH last year. checkup visits with the same gynae. She is pro natural for my case since baby was developing well and my pregnancy journey was quite smooth throughout.
I would think different gynaes have different opinions and give advises base on the mummy's health condition and pregnancy development.
For me, Week 38 day 5, I experienced contractions which grew intense (really painful) over many hours, and I finally checked in KKH 12 hours later. Turns out I was 3cm dilated and i requested for epidural (my savior!). Luckily my gynae happened to be on duty that night. At 10cm, nurse came in and ask me to try and start pushing. After one hour plus of pushing, we still couldn't get the baby head out. Gynae cut open a bit more and baby head finally came out with a final good push. I was too physically and mentally tired from all the pushing and pain to realise that baby didn't cry the moment he came out. Turns out baby was sleeping when he came out (got everyone stunned there as there was no crying) After awhile he started crying, my husband felt relieved. My overall experience was a good one. I would go back to KKH and look for the same gynae if I have the second pregnancy.
