During your antenatal consultations, Dr Baloyi will discuss your birthing preferences with you. There are many things to consider when deciding on a delivery method, and Dr Baloyi will explain your options to you and advise on the safest way to bring your baby into the world.

Dr Baloyi has vast experience in delivering babies, and works in hospitals where the populations are multilingual and multi-ethnic; where women often choose natural childbirth and high-risk cases are regular events. These events have prepared him to give the best possible care to low-risk women and be able to respond appropriately and promptly when emergencies occur.

His delivery care is centred around choice and partnership with his clients. He feels that women and their partners should have a choice in childbirth and that these choices should be respected. The choices made are more often than not to reduce the amount of unnecessary medical intervention and to optimise the chances of a healthy, non traumatic delivery.

Dr Baloyi is equipped to handle both vaginal deliveries and Caesarean sections. Where unforeseen circumstances prevail, he endeavours to guide his clients through the various interventions that may be necessary, such as epidural or the induction of labour. These treatments may not be desired interventions, but sometimes they are essential to improve the chances of normal delivery or to ensure safe delivery for mother and baby.

During the antenatal period, he ensures that there is ample time to discuss all the various issues surrounding the delivery so that his patients have enough time to prepare themselves for the birth and make the best choices suited to their circumstances.

Dr Baloyi believes that delivery care is best individualised to each couple and that the safest and best way to manage the delivery is chosen in partnership with them, whether it is a carefully managed natural labour or an elective Caesarean section.
