Hi, does anyone know an obstetrician who can attend a home birth? Thank you

Hi, I’m looking for an obstetrician who is able to support or attend a planned home birth. Does anyone have recommendations?

Wah, this is actually quite a challenging request in Malaysia, because most O&G doctors here are hospital-based and home births are not really a common practice locally, some even feel it carries certain risks that are better managed in a clinical setting. I did hear that Dr Shazni Shahruddin has spoken about home births before, so she might be worth reaching out to directly to understand her position and whether she offers that kind of support. Some mums I know who really wanted a more natural experience actually chose to travel to Bali instead, where midwife-assisted home births are much more established and accessible. It may be good to have a thorough conversation with any O&G you consult, just to weigh the options carefully and ensure you and baby are well looked after throughout. Wishing you all the best with your birth plan, whatever you decide, I hope it is a safe and beautiful experience for you.
