Dr in KKH

Hi all! Anyone been with Dr Serene Thain at KKH? I am seeing her for the first time 2 weeks later, thinking if I have made a right choice. As much as I hope, I want to opt for natural birth.

Hi! I haven't seen Dr Serene Thain myself, but from what I've generally heard around, she's quite well-regarded, she's been at KKH for a long time and is a maternal fetal medicine specialist, so she's very experienced with different pregnancy situations. The thing is, she specialises in high-risk or complex pregnancies, so if your pregnancy is straightforward and you're keen on natural birth, you might want to check in with her at your first appointment about whether her usual approach aligns with that, some mums find that maternal fetal medicine doctors tend to be more cautious, which can sometimes lead to more interventions, but it really depends on the individual doctor and your specific situation. Since you've got two weeks, it might be worth asking the clinic directly about her natural birth experience, or you could always chat with her about your birth preferences at that first visit and see how the conversation goes. All the best with your appointment!
