My wife just had her 28 week check up at Cebu doctors hospital. She just flew in yesterday from Texas. She really likes her OBGYN at the hospital Dr.Larrazabal. This doctor was recommended to us by another VJ member when she was pregnant with our first son during a visit to the RP. I will be joining my wife in January and was not at this appointment. During her appointment my wife asked if I could be present in the room when they perform my wifes planned C-section in Feb. The doctor said no. I am really, really dissapointed by this. I was present for my first sons birth via C-section in Texas. Heck, Texas Womens Hospital in Houston let me film the C-section (it was awsome on many different levels). Anyways I don't need to film it again, but I do want to be present. Its not like I want to help or anything, I just want to be in there for moral support for my wife. Also I understand I am not a doctor but I want to watch what they do, I already seen one in the USA and I want to compare.

Has any father on this board been allowed into the OP room during a C-section in the RP?

Is there anything I might could say in anyones opinion that could change the Doc's mind?

My wife already plead my case some, and was rejected on safety concerns? Like I said, I don't plan on helping (lol)

Thanks,

Wyatt

I guess it's the same for Chong Hua Hospital. They did allow my husband inside the Delivery Room when I gave birth, but we had to make a formal letter to request it, and had it signed by the Ob-Gyne and some other heads of department (I can't recall their job title) Our doctor informed us in advance, though, that if I were to undergo emergency C-section, then my husband can't go inside the OR theater. I guess that's just their protocol.
