Can anyone recommend a consultant to advise on C section or not.

Hello ladies,
I'm expecting our second baby and have had two differing opinions on whether this one should be C section or not (had a couple of complications as a result of the first birth which was a big baby). I'm now looking for a private consultant to visit who can examine and give an unbiased opinion. Is anyone able to recommend anyone? Thank you.

I can personally recommend Vasso Terzidou. I found her to be brilliant and exceptionally unbiased. Here’s her contact details http://www.chelseawomenshealth.co.uk/
All the best!

I can also recommend Vasso Terzidou. We had similar issue and she was excellent at giving information and allowing us to choose. Also one of the first Dr’s to start practicing ‘natural’ C-sections if that’s the way you choose to go. (And incidentally other Dr’s have commented on neatness of my scar - she’s v neat!)

Personally recommend Karl Murphy at the Lindo - very experienced, safe and gives really good explanations on risk.

Also, Patrick O’Brien (Harley Street and UCH/Portland) is brilliant. We had this discussion when the NHS advice was that I should try a natural delivery, and he was incredibly patient and dispassionate about explaining all the options. Good luck!
