I am very disappointed as my husband and I trusted this Obstetrician who seemed very caring and understanding and always supportive of my strong wish to birth my baby as naturally as possible. I feel terribly let down and betrayed and ended up with a very traumatic birth experience that I still suffer from to this day four months later. I was treated like a minor without decision making in the labour ward once I agreed to one intervention the "cascade of interventions" was unstoppable. I ended up being so "drugged up" that I hardly remember anything about my baby's birth except feelings of fear and distress before she was "pulled' out of me.
In saying that I give Dr. Regan a lot of credit on the other hand for being one of a few Obstetricians as I have been told not to 'mutilate' women unnecessarily, as with me when my baby was distressed and was delivered via forceps. All in all I am saying he is a very good choice as it is with most Obstetricians in this country if you believe in a highly medicalised birth and don't mind interventions at all.

Approximate cost: $4500
