Birth Planning
Caesarean Birth
Selection
For parents planning a caesarean delivery, the date and time of birth can be thoughtfully chosen — giving your child the most supportive start possible.
A birth date is a gift you give your child before they have words to ask for it. It is one of the most thoughtful decisions a parent can make.
— Master Adrian Lo
Thoughtful Timing
A Considered Beginning
When a caesarean delivery is already planned, parents have a rare opportunity — to choose the moment their child enters the world. A birth date selected through Bazi creates a Four Pillars chart that supports the child’s natural strengths and minimises the influence of unfavourable elements.
Master Lo works within the medical parameters provided by your obstetrician. He does not ask you to override your doctor’s advice — instead, he works with the window of dates and times available to you and identifies the most supportive options within that window.
This service is approached with complete respect for medical guidance. Master Lo always defers to the doctor's clinical requirements. His role is to help you find the best possible timing within whatever flexibility exists.
The Process
You share both parents' birth dates and times, and the medical window provided by your obstetrician.
Master Lo analyses the parents' charts and identifies dates and times within the available window that would produce a favourable chart for the child.
He presents you with the recommended options and explains what each birth chart would look like — what strengths it carries and what it means for your child.
The final decision always rests with you and your medical team. Master Lo provides the information — you make the choice.
A Gift Before the Beginning
This is one of the most meaningful consultations Master Lo conducts. He brings the same care and thoroughness to every birth selection as he does to every other service.
Common Questions
Caesarean Birth Selection — FAQ
Ideally, the consultation should begin at least 4 to 6 weeks before the intended delivery window. This gives sufficient time for Master Lo to identify suitable date and time options, discuss them with you, and coordinate with your medical team. If you are approaching the delivery date and have not yet consulted, reach out as soon as possible — Master Lo will work with whatever timeframe is available.
No. Master Lo works within the medical window your doctor provides. He does not set the delivery date — he identifies the most auspicious options within the timeframe your medical team considers safe and appropriate. Your doctor’s guidance always takes precedence. The Feng Shui selection works alongside medical planning, not in place of it.
A good chart is one that is well-balanced — where the five elements are present in reasonable proportion, and where the Day Master (the child’s core energy) is supported rather than overwhelmed. Master Lo looks for charts that give the child natural resilience, clear strengths, and favourable relationship dynamics with parents and siblings. He will explain the options in plain language so you can make an informed choice.
The birth dates of both parents, and the delivery window provided by your obstetrician (typically a range of dates and available hours). If you have a preference for gender, this can also be noted — though it is ultimately determined by the medical team. Any specific concerns or hopes for your child’s chart can be shared and will be considered in the selection.
