Right from the start, Pregs was a great obstetrician. Easy to talk to, very calm and laid back, but also very attentive when he needed to be. During labour after I was fully dilated and had been pushing for a while, it appeared the baby was stuck. I was tired and exhausted and felt like giving up. Pregs suggested we try a forceps delivery, I was unconvinced and felt there was no point trying - I had so little energy left, my husband was tired too, and we both thought a caesarian was the best option. Pregs knew that I wanted as natural a birth as possible, and wasn't going to give up on me so easily, and he really strongly recommended we try forceps first. I'm so glad he did, because our baby girl was born so quickly with the forceps and I didn't need a caesar. My husband and I were both so thrilled, and so grateful that he was so supportive of us and our preferences when we were both so worn out.
We will be having more children, and will definitely be going back to Pregs for our next pregnancy.
