Ask the expert Dr Ang Huai Yan about childbirth and C-section protection Ask the expert Dr Ang Huai Yan about childbirth and C-section protection

Most mothers-to-be opt for the natural process of child delivery. However, there are often unforseen or unexpected cases when a Caesarean, also known as a C-section is required.

While C-sections are necessary due to medical reasons, the latest research shows that children born via C-section may not get essential probiotics or protective bacteria like children born naturally and are more prone to infections and allergy.

We understand that as busy parents, you have many questions about C-sections. How long will it take to recover from a C-section for both mom and baby? When can mother start exercising? Can nutrition play a role in strengthening baby’s immunity? We are here to help answer them!

Nestlé and theAsianparent have teamed up to help you!

Our Expert Doctor, Dr Ang Huai Yan, will take questions posted by you regarding C-sections. Your questions will be looked through and answered by the doctor the week after next. You will be able to view these answers both in text and video format.

About Dr. Ang Huai Yan

Dr. Ang Huai Yan obtained her MBBS degree from the National University of Singapore. Her Postgraduate Degree in obstetrics and gynaecology is from the Australian Royal College of O&G.

Dr. Ang has been in private practice since 2001 and still finds tremendous joy in delivering a newborn into the world. The joy couples experience when she helps them conceive delights her. This sense of fulfillment more than makes up for the odd hours and late nights that she often faces. She is married to another medical colleague and has four lovely children whom she is immensely proud of.

Dr. Ang presently practices at Gleneagles Medical Centre as well as Clifford Centre.

Her areas of interest are in obstetrics and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries for fibroids and ovarian cysts.
