Private Birth and Finding the right Consultant Obstetrician

 

Obstetric Reassurance under the Guidance of a Lead Teaching Hospital Obstetrician

 

As explained in the article "Why Choosing to have a private obstetrician could be best for you and your baby", Mother Taryn M. chose to have a private obstetrician when she was pregnant with her baby daughter. She explained the benefit in the following way,

“I believe that women want a private obstetrician so that they are in the care of one specialist who solely oversees their individual case from beginning to end. This gives a feeling of reassurance, security and wellbeing.”

Explaining her own experience Taryn adds, “I will be eternally grateful to my obstetrician, Dr Ashok Kumar, for his professional demeanour, understanding and kind, thoughtful, calm and gentle manner at all times. I was thoroughly supported throughout every stage of my pregnancy and felt that both myself and my baby were in the safest hands that one could possibly envisage.”

Consultant Obstetrician Ashok Kumar provides information for parents-to-be in his authoritative article - here.

He says, "I am unbelievably proud of each and every one of the 4000 babies that I have helped into the world. I believe most of all, however, that all pregnant women should be empowered to be able to choose the type of care that is best for them."
