moms

I agree that Damansara Specialist Hospital (DSH) is expensive. Am going to deliver my 1st baby there in 19 days time. The hospital & services by the nurses are good, but the charges are a bit high. I know because throughout my pregnancy, I was admitted 4 times to the hospital. But this is one of the hospitals which are encouraging EBF.

I heard that PUSRAWI charges are OK and services are not bad. If I am not mistaken, there is one in Kota Damansara. I only found out about it recently. Maybe I would try it there for my 2nd one.

Kampung Baru Medical Centre, Kuala Lumpur not bad too. Had caesarean, single room, 4 days. Only RM4.5k. Services really great.

I delivered my girl in Assunta about 3 years back and the total I spent was about RM1900+ for normal delivery. The price was inclusive of the nursery services. In my opinion, the price is much cheaper than most private hospitals and service from nurses where very good.

yeah DSH very expensive….my friend who had a C-section cos of some complications….her bill was RM12,000!!! My goodness….with that amount in some other hospitals U can deliver 11 or 12 babies la! SJMC is still good la in my opinion.

DSH is expensive as i had my 1st baby there, it cost around rm4k+ as compared to APSH which cost me less than 3k, both normal delivery. but the service at DSH is better where the nurses come to check every now and then after delivery. the downside was i had a very severe pain after delivery (like another contraction, nurses came to take out or rather korek for blood clots. can u imagine u just had episiotomy/stiches then the nurse put her fingers inside u to take out the blood clots..don’t know why i had that pain after birth bcos it’s my 1st experience, or it’s the doctor negligent not to make sure there were no blood clots

DEMC S.Alam. I delivered my 2nd n 3rd child there.. very satisfied with the service. price quite reasonable

WOW Mum of 7! How do U manage? So cheap the government hospitals. Can save alot of money leh.

well.. i tink all those cost abt $3K is not v.expensive if for a KL private hospital as I delivered my baby in Seremban Specialist hospital and it cost me (normal with epidural) about $3K plus and my epidural came off cos i was allergic to the chemical in it and was scratching a lot and the anesthetian doctor refused to put it back (it was 4am and he needs to drive to hospital) and was told that re-insertion of epidural will lead to high risk of spinal bone infection, found out from 2 other specialist that it’s nonsense… some doctor with high morale hey… his name is abdul something.. beware.. !!

deezedd, aiyoh that poor neighbour of yours. She must be in shcok & trauma la….what a BAD experience. Hope she recovered ok from it.

I gave birth at SMC (Selangor Medical Centre) Sec.20 Shah Alam. Price reasonable. Good service. Very satisfied.
My cousin have bad experience with gov hospital. I bcoz of that I will not go to gov hospital, doesn’t matter what happen to me.

I delivered my baby at Pusrawi Kota Damasara (2006)…. Its single room but they provide another bed for my husband (so 2 bedded la). 2 days 2 nights & Normal and only cost me RM1700.00

If you are looking for the best doctors and specialists in the Klang Valley, they are at UMMC. My ob/gyn who is in (a popular) private practice said even she would go there if she was having twins/special case because they have the best doctors there and cases from private hosp often get referred there. If your pregnancy is complicated or the docs at your private hosps cannot handle the complications that arise during labour, they will send you to UMMC. Even UMSC patients are sent to UMMC if there are complications. The downside are the trainees, but they are strictly not allowed to handle serious procedures including c-sections, and specialists are present at all times for all deliveries including normal deliveries. But you have the options to refuse them, though not many people know that.

They currently don’t allow hubbies in the delivery room to protect privacy of other women delivering at the same time. We can expect this if we only pay around RM500 for delivery. However, they are now completing a new maternity wing where it’s more spacious and husbands will be allowed in. GH allows husbands in though.

Mom of 3, I would like to correct your opinion of post-natal checkups. I don’t know abt other govt hosp, but UMMC has one of the most thorough post-natal checkups. My sister delivered twice there but with her first baby she went Sunway for post natal checkup. In UMMC they checked her child from head to toe and arranged for follow-ups as well.

Normal checkups at UMMC is RM6, RM20 for ultrasound and for delivery starts from RM500. My friend who delivered twins there via ceasarean (she was referred to UMMC from KJMC) was billed RM1,100. Stayed 3 days. She got her own room (twins considered special case) and the nurse took care of her twins in turn throughout the night. I imagine her bill would be over RM10k at private practice, but if you got the money, nothing wrong for wanting special treatment.

SMC Shah Alam not bad,normal 1 day package only cost u abt 2k,service very good,doc siti is da best. Just wanna advised you guyz do not go to a small private maternity clinic or hosp for your 1st pregnancy. My friend died after she gave birth at the small maternity hosp due to she got bleeding and the hosp did not have enough equipment and staff to handle her and she was sent to the govt hosp nearby but she died on the way to the hosp.So please ensure that you don’t go to the small private hospital (meaning the shoplot hospital)for your first preggy coz we might have a lot or nor complication during give birth.If for normal check-up ok la..but if for delivery and the budget pun just ok..better go to govt hosp..govt hosp nowdays pun not bad what..

just call SJMC direct line..the’ll connect u to Dr. Delaila…

I gave delivered at SJMC last Dec 07, gynae Dr.Siti, no epidural, just induce, 3D 2 N single room almost RM3.4K… but i must warn u guys..consultation fees in SJMC varies from one dr. to another..Dr. Siti is the cheapes but has the longest ever Q..

Hello people.

I left my comments here on May 20th at 11.43am, told u guys that I am expecting my 1st baby in 19 days time at DSH.
Well guess wht? I gave birth on May 20th itself at 10.15pm! I went for my weekly chk-up in the afternoon. My doc found out tht I hv pre-eclampsia. A combination of both high blood pressure & high protein in urine.
To cut the story short, I had to undergo an emergency C-sect. I was warded in a double bedded room. And my stay was for 3D/2N. Total bill was 8k++.
Service was excellent. OT went well. Had a bikini line cut and the stitches were done very well & fine. But the doc put me on a liquid diet, the soup were nice. Food wise no complains frm my experience being warded at DSH 4 times during pregnancy.
They encourage rooming-in of mother & baby, and the nurses will come to chk & guide on breastfeeding.
Charges for post-natal chk up also varies. For the first 5 months I was with a different gynae. Then mid-way I changed to a different gynae – her charges are cheaper compare to the 1st gynae.
Personally I still think DSH is pricey.

niasulaiman,

plz shed some light here..umsc is a considered govt or private hosp?how do we approach them for check ups and perhaps, delivery?any restrictions as to what area u come from, like some govt hosp ke?

saya tgh survey hosp2 kat kl, esp govt hosp should i be delivered in kl..coming Nov.

tqvm for ur advice.

Hi Niasulaiman,

Who’s your gynae at UMSC? How much does it cost to deliver @ UMSC? Wad Lily tingkat berapa ye?

thanks niasulaiman. u’ve been of great help.

I delivered my first baby at Taman Desa Medical Centre with my Gynae Dr. Loo last year. She is a very patient doctor. I have a normal delivery with induce and vacumm. I was not able to open up to 10cm although the estimated time after induce was over. I only open up to 8-9cm. Therefore, Dr. Loo has to cut me and use vacumm to help me. The sewing was nice and I think because of big cut, it takes about 15 minutes. Can’t recall, I remember vividly I keep on chit chat with her when she do sewing. She told me she slightly want to put me to c-sec because I try for long time and not yet success. Most of the midwife and nurses in the labour room not expected I can make it (normal delivery). But lastly, I make, she was surprise on that. Overall, I happy with the service there. I insist breastfeed my baby. The nurses bring my baby to me in the mid night for breastfeeding. After that they take care for me in the nursery. My bill for 3 days 2 nights is RM3400. Normal check up for Dr. Loo start from RM60. Anyway, she always in a long Q everyday.

Hi Moms,

I had my baby at KJMC end of last year. I was a week overdue, and had induced labour. Alas, there were complications and I had to go for emergency c-sect.

My gynae, Dr Fatima was excellent. She’s rather popular there so there’s usually a long Q to see her for chkups. During labour she was calming and makes decisions quickly (no delays)–something you’ll appreciate when you’re having intense contractions.. hehe. Her stitches are good, and it healed preddy fast. And throughout the c-sect she chatted with me so I don’t feel too overwhelmed. Big lights in ur eyes tend to do that.

That said, the post-labour care could’ve been better. Though the nurses were nice, the midwives are a tad too abrupt and “garang” for me. Dunno, maybe i was hoping for a lil bit of understanding since it was my 1st time in labour and didn’t know squat abt anything! After 2 days in the hosp, they forgot to give me meds and they really don’t promote early breastfeeding at all. I had to request for my baby everytime.

The total amt we paid was about RM6k. That includes the induce, the emergency c-sect, the nursery, the 3D 2N stay in the premium room (not too sure of the name, but its bigger and better than a single room) coz there were no single rooms left and my hubby wanted to stay in the hosp with me, AND the lousy food. Superdry piece of plywood meat with black sauce is called grilled beef. Seriously.

Anywayz, i would highly recommend Dr Fatima, and if you’re not very fussy about the post-labour care, then KJMC is perfect for you. Pls note that they are doing some renovations right now so it’ll prolly affect the room quality. To mom-to-bes… Good luck in hospital hunting!

I delivered last Dec at Pantai Bangsar. Price is ok, but had a very bad experience there.

(1) I vomited on the floor and chair during my labour and when the cleaner came in to clean, she use the mop to clean the floor and the chair too. BAD HYGIENE….
(2) I stayed in a single room and needed help, pressed the call button and the nurse only appear after more than 20 minutes later. BAD SERVICE…
(3) One of the nurse thought me how to use the medicine (look like dettol, not sure what is it called) to wash my stitches wound. She actually advice me to soak in the medicine with water once a day. Did that at home and my stitch wound worsen, causing me to cant walk and sit properly. Later only found out that i shouldn’t use it to soak…. BAD STAFF…

My doctor is good, but definitely not going back to Pantai Bangsar. My sister also delivered at Pantai Bangsar 3 months before me but she does not encounter any of the above. Maybe its my luck….

i had my 1st son 2 kjmc in 2002, everything went out okay for me. later i was informed that out of 6 babies that night.. five were delivered via c-sect. throughout pass 6years i’ve seen many of my relatives and friends had to do c-sect too…

I have the unfortunate luck to deliver in a gov hosp 3rd class. It was my 1st n I didnt know there are diff class in gov hosp. I came in thru ER at 4 am but only sakit in the evening that day.
The nurse come to round only twice a day and one patient, I think underage moans all day but no one bothered to look at her. Poor thing, the nurse only come to scold her.
When my labour become intense, I had to walk all the way to the nurse room which was about 50m (there was no bell to ring) to tell them I’m ready.
Then after delivery, they whisked away the baby to baby’s room which is few blocks way. Never saw the baby after 24hours which by then refuse breast milk.
After labour, the post exam of the vagina is like walking thru lines of butchered animal; you need to walk yourself to the doc room, lie on the bed, one quick peek, there you done…. quick but very rough, very painful…. and they left you there bleeding without knowing anything they’ve done or what to do next.

I vow never to come back to gov hosp for delivery…. ever

I’m mother of three
I had the 1st one at pusrawi Kota damanasara
my gyne was doc zul and he is good
2d1n rm1800 +petidine single room
the 2nd one is a twins
hukm private wings Superb
the charges only 3300rm for normal del
including epidural
nurses really good
my doc is really great prof zaleha
but yet to mentioned she is really long Q
the room is super single room
its really big n clean also

Still browsing around the best n nearest hospital in klang valley…any comment on Sunway Medical Centre?

mommie…. i give you a hint- a gov hosp in jb…. yeah, I’m glad I survived that too and have 2 more kids….. maybe that was the 3rd class treatment for poor people. I heard in 1st class they treat the patients differently.

i had mine 1st child delivered at sunway by Dr Wong Yat Mei in 2004. i had c-section, GA, 4 bedded for 3D2Ns with a total bill of RM5K. i’m currently 5 months pregnant & plan to go back to sunway since i was quite a satisfied patient from my last visit. since the gap is almost 4 yrs now, does anybody know if the services had improve/worsen? otherwise, i might consider going to DSH..

Dr. Tang is popular(Taman Desa Med Cent) but the queue so long, you may have to wait for 2 hours.

For me, paying for private service I don’t see why I should have to wait like that when there is another doc available (even if he is not as popular).

Sometimes I wonder why some more popular, usually it is females (there’s Dr. Siti from SJMC). Is it cos of the more assuring way they communicate during consultation?

I have consulted 2 docs before, both guys and I admit their style of communicating less assuring in comparison to lady gynae(I consulted with 1 lady before). But I delivered with the same male doc and no problem at all.(My stitches healed about completely in 1 week). I think what matters is the skill.

All the short forms, at least put in once the name of hospital in the posting la. Like KJMC. Why not say Kelana Jaya at least.

I can’t help seeing a trend of C-sects in private hospitals so I think some private docs are not ethical enough. I believe if you ask them they will say risk factor? (How justified?)

UMMC sounds good and cheap, must consider. Sounds highly recomended to me

I delivered my first baby at UMMC. My doc was Dr. Aizura – very nice, she even drove to the hospital to deliver my baby although she was on leave!

UMMC was okay, but it was my first time delivering a baby and I felt very stressful because after delivery, nobody -not even my mother was allowed to accompany my at the maternity ward. I was in labour pain for 36 hours so can you imagine how tired I was after the delivery, I couldn’t even reach for my inhaler and glasses on the nearby table, and the nurses took some time to get to me after I’ve pressed the button. They encourage breastfeeding and ‘independence’, cannot ‘manja-manja’. But I wont encourage UMMC if you’re delivering you first child because of their post-natal care effect on the mother(babies are not effected).

Of course there are some medical students around, but you can request not to have them around if you don’t want to. After my delivery, there was one male student at the labour room and the nurse passed to me my baby for breastfeeding. Since it was my first child I have no idea how to breastfeed, naturally. So I asked the student how to breastfeed since my baby is not sucking. He went blushing red! Hahahah hah ambik ko nak sangat tengok.

By the way, has anybody delivered her baby at PRINCE COURT HOSPITAL?

I heard the hospital is like a hotel; they even have a bell boy and they provide robes, slippers etc. I wonder how much it would cost…my favourite doctor might be going there soon.

i am really happy found this blog. how come i don’t know this blog earlier. :droolll:

i delivered my 1st bb at Govt. Hospital, bcoz it is just few steps away from my mom’s house. My experience? dunno whether it was bad or not. the food was okay, my hubby can be in the deliver room..

but what i remember most was, when my labor become intense, i rang a bell for the nurse to check, but she said “biasa la tu, anak first”. Then i tak tahan, rang a bell again after 5 minutes later, then i asked them to check my vagina, it already opened 8cm! Kelam kabut, the nurses pushed me together with my bed.

at the delivery room (1am), 5 or 6 nurses dunno come from nowhere come to watch me, macam tgk wayang. i was been scolded by the paed and the nurses because dunno how to push.(1st baby, no experience, of course la)..thank god my hubby was there. “i just about want to punch the nurses’ faces” that was what my hubby said to me. hehe.

After delivery, i got terrible bleeding. 1st in the morning, i have to sent my baby on my own to the bathroom about 100 meter away from my bed. i was bleeding all the way to the bathroom, there were plenty of my blood drops all along the way to the bathroom and nobody care. the bed is too high, have to panjat and lompat for turun. Every time i wanted to go off the bed, tumpah darah. and again, no body care, even told the nurse, they didnt come to see me. only the cleaner asked about my condition when she wanted to clean my blood. is it normal?? i dun think so..

thank god, nothing bad happen to me and the baby. but what the best thing is, my baby was always with me all the time. They really encourage to bf. and no doubt, it is really great experience..

coz, i heard, my frenz was delivered her bb in a private hspl. after deliver, they just give the bb formular milk without asking her, she want to bf or not… it such a waste..

Lissa,
That’s why la I told my hubby – selagi takde duit nak bersalin kat private, selagi I tak nak get pregnant . The minute we found that we were pregnant, we set aside some money every month so that I can deliver in private hosp. I have no regret. Baby blues also not so much because I didn’t ’suffer’ much hehehe

Believe it or not…this topic gathered d most hits by us ladies. So delivery IS a big thing to us, huh? To think of all d time spent on planning n researching for a gud gynae/hospital….

Well, I’m guilty as charged…gave birth to both my sons at DSH. Very expensive no doubt….n I guess it kinda contributed to our decision to not have anymore kids…among ather things lah…..hahhahahha

Needa, very hard to believe u. When did u deliver n which doc?

If can deliver under RM2k at Assunta without having to qualify for any package, I no need to consider oredi. I go strait there.

Needa, gimme some details. If really can, my hubby must agree dat I am a very resourceful wife (haha!).

Needa, I will be delivering under Dr. Paul Tay as well soon. How was your experience with him???

Hi happymoonbeam,Dr. tay is no longer with umsc. Currently he is at Prince Court Medical Center and Assunta Hospital. Yes, I suppose he is rather cute. So if you are the shy type, stay clear of him!

Salam,
Aida,
i pon 2x bersalin kat KBMC. 1st with Dr. Norlida n 2nd with Dr. Rosilawati. I mmg puas hati with d service.

Btw..it cost me rm800 (2 bedded room+induce+pethadine+ethonox+vacuum)
Then..I heard about Prince Court as well..it is damn expensive..if u r rich enuf..then go.My friend under Petronas(covered)she delivered at Price Court. Normal without complication at all, almost 10k.Fuih…

erin, how’s your experience delivering at Seremban GH?
I’m thinking of delivering my 1st baby there.. in about 2 weeks time..
is it OK?

anyone exp delivered in columbia hospital puchong? im planning to deliver there,but i need some feedback first,tq

Another thing Sonia – Dr. Paul Tay will refrain from making an episiotomy unless if he thinks that it is really necessary, especially if this is not your first delivery where it should be much smoother than your first delivery.

If you want epidural, feel free to ask, it’s up to us. All the best!

He is cute.
I don’t mind seeing him for weekly check-up instead of monthly check-up hahaha!!

Needa: Huhu..Then i must make my husband promise too..hehehe..Now I dah start kumpul duit..eventhough i belum pregnant lagi..just getting ready..i’m looking forward to deliver at Sunway or SJMC after this.

Lili: There’s a package for delivery and it starts from RM 1763 – normal vagina delivery. If u take epidural u need to add extra RM 980..By the way..agree with Jess – how many will qualify for the package…If u have Vacuum or forsep..the package is nulled..
Oh ya..just updating you all on the price of KPJ Kajang. My friend had just delivered her baby there..It cost her RM 7k (VIP room 2days+epidural+vacuum)RM3500, baby jaundice warded 2days RM 1000..hmm reasonable jugak..

eza u mean uf fren deliver in columbia cost 4500 VIP room 2days+epidural+vacuum)issit? heheh im confused already,how abt the nurse and doctors there? my fren recommend of the gynae there

wow moms…what a great story to share i’m going to deliver for my 3rd but still having doubts…1 mth plus away from due date
my 1st @ SJMC yr 2004 for me quite expensive but services excellent with dr delaila…3d+2n vacuum, pain killer plus ephidural and baby warded jaundice 5d…total 5k
2nd last yr c-sec due to high bp (hypertension) shud be at s alam specialist s19, but not enuff facilities so refer to UMMC. so many comlications and hubby not allowed to stay beside due to normal wards (but nurses and food excellent only there was trainess huhu)so hubby fed up and asked to go to SJMC but we’re out of luck so went to HUKM (so traumatic exp). Okay only the nurses kinda rude but docs did impress me so professional and thorough all in all +-3.5k (1k at salam warded to ctrl bp; 500 depo for UMMC and 2k plus for c sec at HUKM non pvt). Now my 3rd this yr (accident) doing check ups still at salam (cos near my house)hopefully no complication because c sec can cos u 4k and above..now i heard the umra i wish i had done a survey before hand
for 1st time mom my advise if u can afford then go to pvt and make sure liase with all the nurses and everything because ur 1st time mom and doesn;t know anything..i was lucky to deliver @ SJMC because they helped me a lot and taught me how to bf everything so my 2nd altho traumatic (imagine after c sec they asked u to take care of bb and do everything ) ok la just wait for the 3rd and see how..wish me luck

Eza,

Way to got, girl!

I mean, we are the one who has to endure all the painful and ugly stuff, not to mention to wake up 3 times at night to breastfeed our baby and basuh berak etc, pendek kata we women do everything for our baby…the only thing that I ask my man to do is to kumpul duir sikit2 to minimmize the risk of meroyan for me and have a happy + no additional stress delivery.
That’s all. I think we all deserve it, if it’s not too much of a burden for the family…

good info here gals. Likewise, I’m looking for a place for my wife to deiver. she’s suppose to deliver 28 Oct and was referred to a gh but on the checkup day, we were told that no specialist is around. so now I’m scouting for reasonable places. Thinking of going to UMRA in Shah Alam but afraid they might not do c-sect. wife had history of c-sect, vacuum twice and the last one c-sect, so most probably this one c-sect as well. i list down the most probale places;
1) Salam (Shah Alam)
2) DEMC (Shah Alam)
3) Pantai Indah
4) Ampang Puteri
5) UMRA Shah Alam

I’m suppose to see a gynae at Pantai Puteri but he’s oversea until 1st Oct. Will go to Shah Alam next week to seek opinion. Why Shah Alam or Ampang Area? cos there’s no specialist nearby in Tg Malim…

hi Art4334
i suggest that if you can afford then you may go to salam and demc..personally i like salam not too crowded (yeah ur paying money how come u q like public haha)plus my current ob dr siti is fantastic and fare ok so far; but also look out from umra i heard they’re so good humm..c sect i think most of pvt can do this

This one I not sure so I thought to bring it up, maybe some of you know.

So far you all comment about insensitive treatment from government nurses. But this is small matter compared to what I have in mind.

It is about shortage of specialists(gynaes) and OT(operating theatres). How often is it that people who are rushing to deliver in OT have to wait because not enough gynae/OT?

I say they are rushing because the baby is at risk.

Do you all agree, induce for no reason other than convenience of time?

My first 1st came on exact date. I woke up and got ’show’ (a bit of blood in my underwear). Then I went to hospital. (I think the nurse got put in pill for induction at the hospital). Baby came out in less than 3hr of 2nd stage labour.

Do you think my 2nd baby also same?

The rest of you(especially if you delivered in private), why did you induce?

Actually what I meant when I said induce for convenience of time is…

I have a fren whose baby did not come on exact day. She went to induce the next day, although she had no symptoms at all.

I would like the baby to come on the day she wants to come (without endangering her life). I certainly don’t want to induce on that particular day just because I/doc free on that day.

Hi Jess,

As far as I know, doctors only induce the pregnancy if it is past the due date or during very important festive seasons such as CNY or Raya where the doctor needs to go back to home town. Other than that, unless requsted by the mother, the doctors do not do it.

Hey, a gynae told me that can wait until 5 days after due date.

yeap couldn’t agree more with mom..SJMC for me was the best but to hear that some are being charged below 2k or more or less…waweeee i wish the same; maybe dr siti really chg lower than others? dunno. art4334 pls indulge us when they the day come ok…and jess i don’t agree induce for ‘pleasure’..most of the docs that i’ve seen prefer to wait for natural course..

Hi All,

Thanks for sharing your experience. I initially feel so afraid to have to seek medical treatments at UMMC. I am a Scleroderma patient, and have a high risk of early delivery, and the baby may end up in the oxygen tank for 2 months. 2 months of oxygen tank in SJMC, may go up to RM 100k! Therefore, I am looking at Government hospitals. UMMC may be my first choice, as the Rheumatology is quite developed over there, and after reading your valued comments on the Gynae side, I have more confident now. I welcome advise! Thanks!

hi mom-to-be,

sorry for the late reply, hasn’t checked the website for quite some time.. hopefully u’re still able to read this before yr delivery.. but if u already had, congratulations! and do share yr delivery experience,:)

husbands is allowed during delivery, so don’t worry, just get yr hubby to stand by. i was in the 2nd class ward, the 1st class ward is always fully occupied. (someone told me that they give priority to the government staff.)

my experience, buleh la.. can’t demand much.. but i really pity for those who delivered c-sect. they have to take care of the baby on their own at night. x buleh org teman..

the main thing that bugging me was the trainee doctor which will make rounds and keep interviewing you. i know that they are learning, but yg nyampahnyer, kita lah bahan experiment.

i dunno if they still have that kind of
practice now. Btw, just for yr info, i’ll be delivering my 3rd one at Seremban Specialist. So far so good, and i really like my gynae. hope everything’s well je la..

u’re correct mom-to-be, seremban specialist is the KPJ near the museum.

i’ve went for the pre-natal check-up twice, and the charges are quite ok, i think. of course they might charged you extra for the blood test, and other test as well. But if the consultation without any vitamins or supplement it would be around rm50-rm60 only,inclusive the ultrasound. for my second checkup, i didn’t get any of the supplement from the hospital. i bought it at the local pharmacy, much cheaper, heheheh…

the package they are offering is about RM1,500++ for a standard single room for normal delivery. which also covers baby paeditrician after the delivery. but this one x masuk epidural and any other complications. i’m hoping that i won’t get into any complications lah…

i’m so excited for u mom-to-be.. do update here once you delivered tau!

Anybody know how the Columbia Asia-puchong charge?I went there before, quite clean and quiet, like 5 star. I mind be deliver there anybody deliver there before, how’s the service?

package for single bed 3dys 2 night 2188 and twin bedded 2088,this is one of the gynae over there website http://www.alamhamil.com/portal/
if anobody hving exp wt this gynae plis let me know ..tqqq

I had my delivery at Lourdes Medical Centr in Jalan Ipoh. Rather small hospital but service acceptable. I wa supposed to go for normal delivery, had my epidural, seconds after that had complication, it seems that the umbilical cord tangle around my baby’s neck, so we had to do emergency c-sect.All in all cost us 3.5K.Until today when I went for my baby’s check up, the staffs are still very friendly.Every visit I get to have free formula, sometime sone can or two. They even present me with baby travel bag.Cool!i stayed 3 days two nights. But the only drawback is the room is pretty crampy.

Klinik UMRA in Sec13, Shah Alam caters for normal(999) n caesar(2999) provided there’s no complication n no meal provided. For comparison, SALAM charged $4100 n DEMC charged $4500 for elective delivery. Since meal is off the tab, I found it ok cos we could decide what to have for meals. The rooms are bigger compared to SALAM or DEMC (as commented by my friend who delivered there) My wife delivered on 10 Oct; during op, she’s fine but 2 hours after that, she suffered bleeding, hence the extra medication n 5 pints of blood tranfusion that pushed up the bill to $4400. Both doctors were kind andd they even visited us at night.
Overall, for easy parking n the services provided, I think the clinic excelled in terms of value for money n well worth ur time.

hi all, just to share.. i delivered my first baby in 2005.. i did my check ups in HUKM, private wing with Prof Hashim..all lady doctors were fully booked..then since i insist on having a lady doc, i decided to deliver in Columbia Asia, Seremban. My gynea was Dr Nor Intan, she was great, service was great..i got single room, normal delivery, pethadine and gas, total RM1700.
Last year i had a miscarriage, went to Dr Siti (SJMC). She suggested for me to go for DNC. But i asked for alternative since a few of my frenz said that it was painful+expensive..so Dr Siti gave me tablets sort of like induce so that i’ll have a minor contractions. do it for three days..and thank GOD when i go for my follow up with her..complete abortion..all is out. if not i still had to go for DNC. But it was a scary experience for me..to see all those blood coming out ..
Now i’m pregnant again..and hopefully everything goes well this time…there’s 2 private hospitals opening up in kota damansara; Tropicana Medical Centre (near segi college) and Alpha Specialist Centre in Dataran Sunway. i’m checking them out soon..will inform u guys on my findings. If not so good, then i’m considering Pusrawi Kota Damansara.

I heard UMSC have the most Professors in town. They teach and provide consultant work too. Fee is quite reasonable compared to many other private hospitals. Visited UMSC recently and find their services good value in comparisons to the payment. At such fee I still get the best Professor in town. Certainly would recommend to many. The Professor who check me was so gentle and took good care in explaining to me step by step. From my past experiences, a few of the gynae I visited wasn’t as gentle as this time.

Tomoko, would u mind to share with us how much u spend on the check up fee and deliver fee in UMSC? thanks a lots:)

Hi Salwa and everybody here,

I’m having twin pregnancy and thinking of going to Pantai Bangsar. Can u suggest which obstetrician should i go to? Since there is high probability of C-sec, do u by chance know the range of the price it will be? Thank you.

hi lili and lyn..
did my 3d scan with dr ju early this year..
very very very great doc..
if i kat kl, sure dah choose to deliver with her.
the hospital is very nice and clean as well..
very polite staff.. still new, belum ramai org kut..

but i delivered at Seremban Specialist (KPJ)..
with dr Ishak.. huhhh.. wat a great doc, great delivery experiance.. 2 days one nite, only RM1399.. took single room, RM1499..
the staf nurse are great..
pastuh masa kepala baby dah keluar, dr Ishak azan sambil slowly pull our my lil one..
2 other doc, Dr kala and Dr Ivan pun great..
when i had my maternity class, there aare bout 5 couples that come all the way fr kl,
they plan to deliver in seremban because of the price and services..

I delivered in HUKM (semi-gov section). Had C-sec, stayed for 5 days, 4 nights, for RM899. Overall I’m satisfies with the service. Most nurses are friendly and helpful. On the 1st day after delivery, I couldn’t get up from bed, so the nurses took care of my baby (fed with formula, of course). On 2nd day, I could get up a bit, but still weak and painful, the nurse took my baby to see me without my asking (I’m happy bout that!). On 3rd day, I start to take bath (just wipe body only) and a nurse accompanied me during my bath time, helping me to wipe my back (very helpful!). Also, the baby was with me full time by the 2nd half of the 3rd day after delivery (yes, that’s what I want!). They encourage exclusive breastfeeding, but they still provide formula should you request. My baby was a real big eater, so much so he got very impatient with my small flow of colostrum and cried non-stop. So in the end I have to ask for formula milk from the nurse, which they gave. There’s also a lactation nurse going from bed to bed to check/teach/guide/advise on your breastfeeding position/posture/etc. As for post-natal appointment, they ask you to see outside doctors if you are from private sector. But if you are gov staff, then they will give you post-natal checkup. Hubby can accompany you during delivery (but my hubby chose to stay at home becos he cannot tahan to see).

My baby has mild bilateral hydronephrosis (dilated kidney) and they still give follow-up appointments to monitor his condition (up to today). Even on the few days after delivery, they have a paediatrician ready to monitor his condition, also did ultrasound scan to my few days old baby. The doctors go round from bed to bed to check your condition. The nurses also changed my pad for me (I could’t get up from the bed).

Conclusion: Good service, cheap price, only thing the food sucks.

Hi everybody,

Sorry la, i tak pandai tulis bahasa mat salleh tapi i boleh faham. I nak bagi satu tip untuk kita tahu masa betul-betul kita nak bersalin. Tip ni bidan kampung yang bagi kat i lebih kurang 17 tahun dulu, masa i melahirkan anak no. 1. Bila dah rasa sakit sangat, terus mandi, basahkan kepala (kalau boleh, syampoo terus) tengok perut kita, masa mandi. kalau perut tu tak naik ke atas, (maknanya ada gap antara dada dan perut lebih kurang satu tapak tangan) sahlah kita akan beranak. Tapi sempatlah ke hospital. Kalau nak mudah bersalin, jalan banyak-banyak. insya allah semua ok. kesemua 5 anak saya, sampai saja ke hospital, terus masuk labor room, terus bersalin (yang bongsu tu, sampai tak sempat tukar baju) semua 5 anak bersalin di hospital kerajaan kerana murah. duit saya simpan untuk deliver kat private saya buka akaun untuk anak-anak. Saya rasa kita susah tak apa, sebab sakitnya kat situ juga. duduk wad pun paling lama 3-4 hari. diorang marah2 ke bising2 ke buat donno je? diorang tu pun manusia juga, kita pun kadang2 tu marah2 juga. Setiap orang ada pekej masing2. macam coffee 3 in 1.

oh yea terlupa nak cakap. lepas bersalin, kita mandi wiladah – sama kategori dengan mandi wajiblah. mandi untuk wanita yang melahirkan. Yang saya perhatikan, tanpa disedari, ia membantu kita cepat sembuh. cuba tengok orang tua2 dulu tu.

Kos saya di hospital sg buloh cuma RM60.00++ je termasuk jaundice tu!!. macam tak percaya – 4 hari weh! Patutlah ada orang cerita ada setengah2 ibu mengandung tu sengaja masuk wad lama-lama sebab makan ok- pagi, tengahari, petang & malam harganya (masa tu lah) tak sampai RM10.00 sehari. Beli nasi bungkus pun mahu RM4/5. boleh save cost. Bilik air pulak siap dengan air panas lagi dan besar.

hii..
currently I am searching for private hospitals that can offer affordable rates for delivering baby. This time I’m pregnant for 2nd child and now Im already 3 months.
After I have reviewed all the comments I started to realise that DSH, Sunway Hospital and SJMC do charge us with higher price. But, frankly speaking my 1st child was born at SJMC. My child was born in normal way ( not ceaseran )and that process itself cost me RM3000. Unfortunately, my 1st child had jaundice and she has to be admitted for 5 days and guess how much it costs???…altogether I have to pay RM 5000.00.At first I thought it was a reasonable price but again that was my 1st child. Now, I’m a bit sensitive in looking price ( in terms of how much these hospitals want to charge me if I want to deliver my baby). So far, I can see many mothers favour UMMC. But, can somebody supply me an information about any gynae in UMMC which I prefer female gynae..I feel so embrassed to see male gynae.

hi jess …. all my 3 babies is delivered early … 36 to 37 weeks …. my 1st and 2nd normal n vacuum delivery … 3rd normal w/o vacuum …. all were induced …. what happened is I’m too active n there is an infection that cause my cervix to have contraction …. by 36 week its already 2 cm opened …. but all my babies is healthy and can go home after 3d 2n stay ….all had jaundice but a minor one n can de discharged as per normal …. I myself requested for induced for the pain of contraction can last for days n delivery also might take a couple of days … depending on your body …. some can be very fast some can be very slow …. that what my doctor says … which I cannot bear the pain …. I’ve been (for all 3) since 7 month to delivery date having false alarm contraction …. the pain comes and goes …. I cannot manage my family in that condition …. so I asked the doctor to induced …but normally after 2 cm open ….

I had my first baby at SMC with Dr Siti who’s great. I had vaginal delivery with vacuum (coz had no idea how to push and ate very little the day before). She’s also the gynae for my sister who had 2 caesarean deliveries with her, because she had small pelvis baby didn’t go down overdue by one week.

5 months pregnant with 2nd baby due in April 2009 need to find different hospital because living in KL now and SMC is far. Thinking UMMC or UMSC, just a matter of $$$.

Leaning heavily on niasulaiman testimony and also for her gynae Prof Siti Zawiyah. Same room for admission and labour plus hubby get sofa bed very appealing, fees not so much. UMMC sound more appealing cost wise otherwise doesn’t sound too bad in comparison except the milling students, need to go for a visit and check it out.

mamamateen, nk tanyalah.. kat spital sg buloh time kita bersalin blh x suami kita masuk skali kat labour room?

Minty, refer to ur previous comment below “Pusat Rawatan Az-Zahrah Bangi. The doctor was fantastic. initially (when i was 2 months pregnant, i went to 2 other hospitals coz i had some complications) but then i went to Az-Zahrah Bangi for a 3rd opinion. The doctor was fantastic so i continued there until delivery. Great doctor, great nurses, great food. cost me only Rm1500 (biggest room). I wish i could get pregnant again so i can visit the same doctor again.”

June 2nd, 2008 | 2:50 pm

The cost RM1500 is normal delivery? what about C-sect?
Im planning to give birth there, my gynea is Dr. Fazlina..very soft spoken an excellent doc

hi all

as for me..i have delivered in KJMC and columbia asia seremban
to me KJMC is quite ok and the doc was very experienced.however they do not promote breastfeeding…
in columbia asia i was wth dr intan..she was very nice n experienced doc..liked her very much..but the hosp service not so good..also doesnt promote breastfeeding..

i was outstationed over the past weeks.

HI there mommies & mommies-to-be!

I am currently 27weeks along and am planning to give birth in Assunta Hosp. Actuall the current gynae I see delivers babies at Pantain but hubby and I are worriedabout the cost so we asked our DR to recommend us to Assunta. Heard that Dr Liew Fah On is really good and experienced.Can anyone how has given birth in Assunta under his car share their experiences? Or any stories you have heard fr your friends who delivered there? What is the current cost for normal birth / C-sect? Any other cheaper but good hospitas to recommend? Really appreciate your feedback..thanks:)

Hi all..

If any of u stay nearby shah alam, I would like to suggest DEMC (Darul Ehsan Medical Centre) at Seksyen 9, next to Plaza Shah Alam. I’ve delivered my 2nd and 3rd baby there, and are very satisfied with their services.

A number of lady gynaes are available for those preferred lady gynaes. The rates are not so burdening like those KPNJ’s hospitals (cost around 1200-1500). What i like abt their policy is to get the baby born the natural way as far as possible, unlike some pvt. hospital which always recommend c-sect (which i’m not preferred at all).

For the first-time mother-to-be, u can also sign-up for the prenatal classes where u and ur hubby also can participate.

If u want to breastfeed your baby, they will ask u b4 delivery and your baby will be delivered to your room when he/she’s hungry.

I hope this info will help some of mothers-to-be out there..

Hi All,

Can we just go to the UMMC without any appointment? Need any referal ?
And what’s the operating hours for UMMC ( ante checkup )

Pls advise.

salam to all mothers-to-be..

I’m really interested on going to Klinik UMRA. Can anybody give me the address and the direction/location of the clinik. Try to find it on the web but no detail. Planning to go there for my first check up.. thanks..

scheduled for c-sec this coming 2nd february 2009 at DSH….under Dr. Maziah….wish me luck ya?

San:

I just called UMMC 03-79494422 today to find out about how to register and make appointment, etc.

For antenatal checkup, they have antenatal clinic which is separate building (near Dental faculty it seems, I’ve yet to go)

They’re open office hours i.e. Mon-Fri, not sure what happens on the weekends.. but fees-service ratio so good I’m overlooking other things (like medical students; besides, we need gynaes in the future too so I’ll participate as their “medical experiment” but females only and except stitching if I can avoid it– I find healing stitches the worst part of the whole delivery process).

Someone here says delivery will cost around RM500 and checkup RM20+ and you’ll have to wait around 3 hours for your turn or whatever. Sounds good to me, save some money and take the day off from office. After finish check up can go jalan2

Hi All,
Im a mummy to be in 3months time..(lebey kurang). im doing my monthly checkup at SMC with Dr Noraini…Im thinking of to change my gynae and delivering hosp to KJMC… Since its quite cheap compare to Sunway MC… Due to my company only covered RM750 for normal birth and C-s around RM1800… and company start potong gaji due to economic down turn..anyone had any idea which gynae i can refer to at KJMC

Just found this great site.. thought i’d share my experience delivering at a govt. hospital.

I gave birth to my first baby at sungai buloh hospital. Seeing that im a govt servant, why not make the most of the perks right? Well, my experience wasnt too bad. My husband was there in the labour room during delivery (consider me lucky). The nurses were ok la kot, not that friendly and reassuring, but then again, you cant expect much from govt hospitals kan?

The tough part was
i)when you’re all alone in the labour room, going through labour by yourself (hubby was only allowed in when i was ready to deliver – upon request),
ii) being scolded (more like ‘perli’)by the nurse for using the wrong pushing techniques (excuse me for having zero experience on this! :p)
iii) being there alone in the ward after delivery, especially at night, trying to breastfeed you baby,
iv) being scolded by this pregnant nurse for not knowing how to breastfeed
v) going home ‘lenggang-kangkung’ with no medication whatsoever… no pain killers, no solution to clean the wound. nothing whatsoever!

Overall, i can’t complain, cause throughout that pregnancy, (my checkup were at the govt clinics as well,damn long queue!!) we spent only RM6. So for RM6.. we can’t complain la kan? :p

For this pregnancy, we’re planning to go private. So far we’ve had our checkups at DEMC with Dr. Fairuz. Nak compare dgn govt, mmg mahal gile!!

But with all that said about the govt. hospital, i must admit, the checkups with them are the most thorough and you tend to learn more about your pregnancy. For that, I have to give them credit.

Anyone delivered at Columbia Asia Puchong?

do anyone know about the klinik sarmukh and pusat bersalin?(jln Genting Kelang) how the services? now i pregnan,pls anyone can advice.

Moonie,
i quite interest on Naruli W.maju, u meant the top, hows top it is and the charges expensive? u normal delivery or c-sec,cause my 1st was c-sec and afraid the 2nd will also. Pls share with me the doctor,nurse and enviroment there.
thanks

In year 2007 i delivered my baby in KJMC. Saw Dr. Silvam. He’s one of the best Gynae in town. Previously he was attahed to UMMC but now with KJMC. The specialist services here is superb, but others such as room condition, food etc are super duper bad!! But of course you get a convenient parking. It’s all up to us whether we need a good doctor or good additional convenience. As for me i wanted a good gynae, so I went for it. And of course the paediatrician Dr. Syed Nazir is excellent at his job. So when you know MOM + BABY is in the safe hands so why not try KJMC.

Dear may, ashfa & julie,

I hv no complaints abt Naluri Wangsa Maju. It’s a good place for checkups & to deliver. There are 2 doctors – Dr Kay & Dr Zana. I was with Dr Kay.

Service, facilities & food are all ok. Like I said, no complaints. I had normal delivery, stayed in a 1-bedded room for just 1 nite. The package 2 years ago was RM1499. Not sure abt now & for c-sect.

You guys should go and check it out yourselves. Take care..

Finally i’ve found the perfect place to give birth.. I’m taking a 3days 2 night package at QHC Mediacal Ctr in taipan usj..the package includes all my monthly check -ups with my gynea, my labour cost and also me and my baby check up n imunisasion..all around 2000++ only..

Been to UMRA, but very dissapointed with the gynea. She’s very rude and she got me rushed and admitted to Putrajaya Hospital for nothing due to false alarm that she claims that I have an ectopic pregnancy. Later to discover that its my ovary that she’s been looking at, not my sac.. never going to UMRA again!

hi moms & moms2b here..

i’m planning to deliver my 1st baby at GH, be it in HUKM or Seremban GH (my hometown). Do i need to inform them earlier about my delivery plan or just walk-in there? Since i just do my regular check-up at private ( but do have ‘buku merah’) due to limited time to visit KK every month. Thnks for any advice!

Hi biha,

Why don’t you check with your doctor on the breastfeeding issue? He/she would know best. Better to listen to a professional than others.

hi biha ….

as far as I know there’s no problem breastfeeding ur baby and daughter …. I’ve before consulted a doctor on this issue …. anyway 1 of my cuzzin breastfeed both her daughter …. one is 2 years old and other is 1 year old …. still … for me if you have the nutrition and health why not … no harm done …. the nutrition is there …. its enough ….

ibuSofeaSafina

DEMC stands for Darul Ehsan Medical Centre, situated in Seksyen 9, Shah Alam. For your info, Dr Zamri is also the experts in fertility, ramai gak yg plan nk dapat anak, when goes to him, insyaallah..

My 1st & 2nd bersalin kt Pusat Perubatan Ibukota, Jln Ipoh cost only RM1K-1.5K but it was 17 years ago..then last 7 yrs when to Pantai Medical Bgsar…company tanggung everything..so did’nt bother abt the cost…now will be deliver my 4th….but company ada limet…normal 3K, c-seacr 5K, anybody could suggest whick private hospital….yg dekat my office Bkt Damansara or my hse Rawang….now doing monthly medical checkup at PMC Bgsr…

Dear all, I read tru the comments and seems like Dr. Siti is a very popular gynea. Any comments on Dr. Tang Boon Nee who is also a gynea in SJMC? I checked with Dr. Tang’s nurse on the delivery charges: normal +/-4K, c-sec +/-8K; each visit is RM100 for consultation, scanning=RM40, medicine=variable. Appreciate your feedback.

Hi Abby,

I totally agree with you.. He is simply the best gynae..

anyone yg tau kos bersalin di hosp ini:
-putra med centre sg buloh
-dsara damai med centre
-pusrawi kota dsara
-tropicana med centre
thanx ya

hi June.. sorry for the late reply.. my gynea in QHC is Dr. Subra.. the package that i took with them include 3 days 2 nights , normal birth procedure, monthly check up during pregnancy and also baby check up and japs..

hi. i’ve not visited this site for a long time. i gave birth last october 2008, for the third time at umsc. i can’t remember how much i paid but it wasnt that too far off from the second delivery (saper rajin boleh scroll for ‘older comments’). not much complaints. taken cared well by the nurses, midwives and gynae. delivery was fortunately easy, so much so that the gynae tak sempat sambut. everything was handled by the midwife and there was just a small tear, thus no episiotamy nor stitches needed. i took only pethadine and gas to reduce pain (but still painful anyway). i delivered at umsc again because 1. gynae has my medical history since first baby 2. labour and ward room is the same so no moving around 3. husband can accompany me throughout labour and can even sleep in the room 4. room is spacious for visitors to come beramai-ramai

hi all, i’m having my first baby, into 18 weeks, i’m considering going to UKM specialist centre for Dr. Tan AE, wanted to know is there anybody went there before. my 1st appointment is on next month.

Hi new mum,

I actually think the doctors let the mothers decide their own birthing styles. They will tell you the pros and cons, and leave you to decide which is best for you. While I did not get a c section, I don’t think there is anything wrong with it. Some women just don’t want to go through a vaginal birth.

However, what some women are guilty off during pregnancy is not doing enough reading on the subject matter and not asking enough questions during consultation if they are unsure. Some base their decisions on other people’s stories (which is distorted at its best), and old wives tales. Thus, when things don’t turn out the way they thought it would, they start spreading stories, and these stories may influence future mothers..it’s a vicious cycle.

I totally support vaginal births, but I ‘get’ why some women don’t want to do it.

Hi new mum in KL …..

Just wondering are u a malaysian, PR or Aussie? Sorry to ask? But there are things u have to consider when u r delivering in KL ….. Facts ….. I am a Malaysian, Singapore PR and now pregnant wif 4th baby …. all other 3 is a Singaporean …. n documentation is a bit haywire here in KL compared to Singapore …. Everything is different including healthcare ….. it is scary considering its the first time delivering in KL …..

Hi new mum,

I assume you are going private for your check ups? If you are, I think they base the hospital admision based on either 3 things – amniotic fluid leakage or real contractions or bleeding.

I think it really depends on how much you have currently dilated and how fast you dilated in your previous labour. If you dilate very very fast, the doctor will ask you to come in as soon as your contractions are 20 minutes apart.

Traffic is not that big a problem, but to be safe, choose your doctor and hospital near your home.

The private healthcare in Malaysia is very good. You get treated very well. Most people say its much better than the private healthcare in Singapore. So, don’t worry so much!

happy belated mothers day everyone!

my story: all three kids in UMSC with prof dr. siti zawiyah
1. 23 feb 2006 (epidural+vacuum) ~rm5++k
2. 24 june 2007 (pethadine+gas) ~rm3++k
3. 4 oct 2008 (pethadine+gas+NO STITCHES) ~rm3++k
if i ever get pregnant again, i won’t think anymore, i’ll just go to UMSC under prof. siti zawiyah

all the best to all other mommies out there who will be delivering soon ))))

tips – #try to walk as much as u can before delivery
#when pushing baby out, hold ur breath. (so inhale as much as you can before you push….hold your breath, push…exhale…inhale quickly again…hold..push…etc)

hi new mom in KL ….

Ok … so far I’m going to deliver in Spore …. becoz of documentation process …. but i’ve been going to SJMC …. Subang Jaya Medical Centre for check ups and my doctor is Dr Delaila …. she’s a great doctor and so far I’ve been asking b4 deciding to see her …. with my friends and in law ….. especially the ones that delivered in SJMC and they’ve good feedback and experienced during check up and deliveries… although they’ve mentioned different doctors …. Dr Siti and Dr Ang …. they’ve excellent services …. good wards … and facilities … and clean …. it is pricey for check ups (around 150 to 500 ++) per visit but worth the visit and still when I’ve asked around the package range from 3500 +++ to 5000 for normal deliveries ….. and around 7000 to 8000 for c-section …. depends on the patient condition itself ….. I’ve tried going for check up in Selangor Medical Centre (KPJ Hospitals) …. not up to my expectation …. and still pricey (120 ++ per check up) and still not satisfying ….. … hope that I’ll helps)

and Sonia …. I’m not sure which hospital in Spore that they commented …. but so far my experienced with East Shore Hospital, KKH (Kandang Kerbau Women Hospital) ….. Singapore General Hospital (SGH) ….. Mount Elizabeth Hospital and even Changi Hospital …. is very much satisfying ….. in terms of healthcare facilities …..

hi Waterlily,

I’ve no experience with Ampang Puteri but i just delivered my baby at Naluri Medical Center 2 weeks ago.
It was great, all the staff were supportive and helpful. My doctor is Dr. Kamaria (known as Dr.K among her patients) and my baby’s doctor is Dr. Khairul Zaman.

I delivered my baby prematurely at 34 weeks because my cervix dilated early. Some people says the due date was miscalculated..heheh but anyhow, it was an easy labor. No complications and the doctors were very quick and professional in doing the job.

I stayed there for 3 days 2 night but my baby stayed at the nursery for 4 days since Dr. Khairul would like to run observation and antibiotics course to my baby.

My bill was RM2094 and my baby’s bill was RM1400 so total would be around RM3.5k. I would strongly recommend new moms on a budget to deliver there as the service is quite good.

hi mummies..

i am few weeks pregnant now and i cant wait to b a mummy! i am staying in damansara and looking for a place to do checkups nearby. any suggestions for pj or damansara area proud mummies? also subang area is considered as my office is in the area too..pls help..i am new at tis,my girlfriends are still single.. and really need advice so i can pass the info to them one day! ;D

hi all… i had just delivered my baby in Columbia Asia Puchong on 21st June 2009. My gynea is Dr Raja Juhaidah. Cost me RM 2600 (normal delivery, 2 bed). You can check out package offered under Dr Raja in her website http://www.alamhamil.com. Great doctor!!! Very confident and supportive. Highly recommended!! The hospital is also well equip and nurses are great.. if u are still choosing a place for your check ups, please go and see Dr Raja. I only went to her @ 36 weeks. Should have gone earlier. The ultrasound is 3D/4D scan at every checkups so you can see your baby face and movements during all checkups. Cost around RM70 – RM120 per visit. Really worth it!!

Wow nana, i’ve never thought that UMRA staff can go into dat extend.. luckily I never continue my consultation with them after my first bad experience. But I heard that DEMC is quite good as well and Dr Zamri is one of the most recomended gynea there. I believe Dr Phia is the one i saw during my first visit, mcm mamak ( dunno wat race) and chubby and pressing hard on the abdomend and search the fetus like she’s never done the procedure before. Seriously, I’ll go along with a man gynea , they are more patience compared to woman gynea.

Just like nana & lizazmi, I too had a bad experience with UMRA some 2 yrs ago when i wuz pregnant with my 3rd. Dr ummul almost wanted to do D&C as she couldn’t see the baby after scanning twice in 2 weeks – she said the sac wuz empty. I think it’s the same faulty scanner la.

I went for a second opinion at Naluri Wangsa Maju, back to where I delivered my 2nd child. Just as the scanner touched my tummy, there was the baby… clear and fully formed! That time I was about 9-10 weeks pregnant.

We vowed never to go to UMRA, though it’s near where we stay. Now, I’m with the 4th one… due mid-Oct. This time, we’re trying Dr Zarina Bebe of Pusrawi Kota Damansara. Anyone has any experience with her or with Pusrawi? Pls share ….

I had 4 times experiences delivered at Ampang Puteri Specialist Hospital under Dr Fauziah Hassan. She’s really good and motherly. Dato’ Dr Jamilah is also good. I was expected to deliver my second baby at night and Dr. Fauziah stayed in the hospital waiting until I delivered. For my 3rd baby, I went to the hospital at 5 am in the morning because there was contraction and it was already 4 cm opened, and Dr Fauziah also rushed that early morning from Bangi (she stays in Bangi) to Ampang untuk sambut my baby. I was really greatful with the doctor. The charges was not that expencive for private hospital. Mine was under package, single room, normal deliver, 3 days 2 nights about RM2800 after tax + extra bed for my husband. Monthly check-up around RM150. Dr Fauziah has no problem recommending you to be under package if everything is ok during monthly check-up.

I’ve once be with dr raja, she’s quite ok.i can even sms with her (hoping that she remember me, but luckly she is) if i got something to ask. the last delivery i have with her is a c-section, and after 2 years, i admit her work is quite good. u cant ever tell that i’ve been cut, coz the cut healed nicely at the bikini line.

mayb for the 2nd delivery i will go back to her…:D

Sorry everyone…accidentally hit the submit button…cont from above…

We decided to switch to SMC under dr siti because there was some opinions suggesting that KJMC is not too well equipped…

Reading some postings about Pusrawi K Dsara nows kinda makes me wanna switch..i heard the Pusrawi KL is very good…i.e. they provides to do lists for 1st time parents, doa $ qamat, air zam zam, kurma etc…Is is true?

Can anyone of you nice ladies tell me which is better? SMC or Pusrawi K Dsara?

My concern is more of which nurses threats the mother & baby better?

Of course, we both prefer affordable services but not at the expense of quality..

SMC has quoted 6K for twins normal delivery so does anyone knows what Pusrawi K Dsara charges?

I thank you in advance for any advise.

Hi mummies…thank god i found this site…i’m 6 weeks pragnant (yeay!!!). By the way, this is my first time. I’m doing some survey on the hospitals now..I live in bandar kinrara, so i found the nearest in Bandar Puteri , puchong which is Columbia Asia and KPMC. Which one is better? I knew KPMC is cheaper but if the service is not that good, I would rather spend more rather than have a bad 1st experience. Hope anyone can give me some advice. By the way, when is the best time to register myself at the hospital?

Hai… mummy2b

Hi all,
I’m about 3 months pregnant now. Reading the trail of this blog and many others similar to it is getting me all nervous to wait for my delivery date. I live in kajang most of the time but sometimes my husband and I have to go live in Selayang because he has to take care of his mom. He is the only child and so far the system going back and forth hasn’t really bothered me. Are there any good hospitals near kajang that are reasonably priced. I’m expecting my 1st bb in May. I thought I want to go to private hospital but thinking about the bill going up to 10K in a c-section experience has got me really worried. 3 or 4K is about my budget. Reading recommendations by others I think I’ll check out Az-Zahrah Medical centre or if worse comes to worse Putrajaya GH. How about if I’m living in Selayang. What hospitals are raesonable priced and service is alright that I can go to? Anyone can help I will very much appreciate it.

Hello mumsies….

Each and everyone’s feedback does help a lot! I am a mum to be, 32 weeks now. Currently registered with Klinik UMRA. Initially me and my hubby was turned off by Doc. Rafi’s lack of professionalism, but i thought of giving them a second chance by going there for my second check up. This time it’s his wife, Doc. Ummul. She seems good enough but again after reading what the other commenters have to say about UMRA as a whole, i am having doubts.
But again as Mom-to-be had said earlier, it depends on how lucky you can be. I do appreciate what lizazmi and nana was commenting before, and if i was in nana’s situation i think i would tell that particular doctor to shut up instead! (surprised at how some doctors can be so inconsiderate!). I know for sure to stay clear of that particular doctor.
Thank you hot mamas!
=)

Hi Mommies,

I had my first daughter in 2007 at Pantai Hospital, Pandan Indah and the service was great. My gynae was the head OBGYN of the hospital, Dr. Suhaimi Isa and I would recommend him to everyone. He gives a thorough check up during all my visits (30 mins minimum for each checkup) and he makes all his patient feel comfortable as he is very easy going and friendly and loves to answer any questions that you may have.

I took the 3D 2N normal delivery package, the room was twin sharing, and at that time was RM1,888. I had to be induced and opted for epidural so my total cost came up to RM2500++. The midwives and nurses were excellent and extremely helpful. I asked to be room-ed in with the baby and the nurses did ask if i wanted breastdeed the baby first before they gave formula milk. A nurse came in a few hours after my delivery and thought me how to breastfeed the baby, which was great and all my calls to the nurses were answered promptly. My monthly ceheckups were between rm100 – rm200.

I am due for my 2nd baby in Nov ‘09, and I am continuing my checkup at the same hospital. The rate for normal delivery package is now RM1,980 , and I would still recommend it to anyone living in the Ampang area. This will always be my first choice of hospital for delivery because of the affordable cost and most importantly excellent doctore and staff.

delivered in Damansara Specialist Hospital 2wks ago. Was an induce labor by drip through hand. Everything else was normal. No epidural, no episiotomy, no painkillers, no vacuum nor forceps excepts 2/3 jap to numb the vaginal area for the birthing. Admit on 8am, induced at 130pm, deliver at 445pm, discharged at 4pm the next day. DSH charge us RM3300. Stayed at single standard room, RM230/nite without xtra bed. Hubby sleep on the sofa. We also circumcised our baby boy before discharge, cost RM750, done by Dr Razak, the pead surgeon.

Hi….
Just want to share my experience delivered at Tawakal Hospital,Jln Pahang(KPJ Hosptl) on April 3 this year…Very2 satisfied with my Dr. Jaafar,He’s really2 good and i have a wonderful experiences there..All the nurses that handled me also are really2 good too….they are very patient and the services are excellent…And thanks to my husband too…He was in the labour room to accompany me from the beginning till the end of the delivery…(long time he stayed there about 24+ hours to support me and he went out for a while to eat and pray in our single room but never leave me alone when i’m in pain and never leave me more than 20 mnts and he’s also see Dr. Jaafar sewing that part too…)..
I request to deliver early 3 weeks from my due date because my last u/sound my baby’s weight estimate is 2.9kg so Dr.Jaafar just check my cervix and said that it’s a risk to deliver early if cervix is not matured yet and usually end up with c-section……But after check all the condition of the cervix and my baby, he said that it’s seems ok to delivered early…So on 2nd April,I was warded(labour room) and induce at 9am..But my cervix seems difficult to dilate …At 12 hours it’s only open at 5cm and the contraction was so strong at night and the nurse adviced me to take the painkiller injection once and after that there were no contraction at all and i can sleep well that night..But at 9.00am the next day, Dr. Jaafar check again and it’s still remains 5cm so he decided to broke my waterbag at 9.30am..And the pain began,right away after he broke my waterbag and i’m cried to the nurses that i’m going to deliver soon and ask for the painkiller injection because it’s hurt so much and i can’t bear it anymore…They are really helpful give me the strength and support and teach me how to use the gas to relieve the pain after the painkiller injection is useless because its still hurt.., and guess what i’m delivered at 10.13 am..So fast n smooth….The jahitan also very kemas n no pain at all…I’m very satisfied with their services..
so its cost me RM3200++,(3 days 2 nite,single room,normal deliver+induce+2 times painkiller injections+gas)

Salam,

Please think twice if you want to go to Pusat Perubatan naluri in Wangsa Maju.

My friends had very bad experience there.
Basically this is a small clinic and not prepared to handle emergency cases.

The Dr’s are also incompetent and are only thinking about profits. there was a case where Dr K of naluri was even talking on the mobile phone while stitching up my friends wife. She then had infection .

Another friend lost a baby because the Dr would not come in at night to attend to them

There are many more horror stories of Pusat perubatan Naluri.

Also, do check out databases with the civil and sessions court and you will notice that this clinic has various court cases going on for negligence..

Just a heads up to other parents to be.

Lot of info here….well, I’m 5 mth pregnant, and plan to deliver at provate hosp..unfortunately, I still have no idea on where is the good hospital..gynae..etc etc.. Called Pantai Bangsar the other day, and the cost for normal delivery is rougly from 3.3K-6K, while C-section cost start from 6K to 10K.., Assunta cost about 2.5K for normal delivery..I’m looking for hosp in PJ area, cuz I lived at ol’ klang rd..taman desa mc is the nearest, but not my panel hosp, I’m not sure about UMSC, quite close, but don’t think it is listed in my panel hospital..sooo penin…

I delivered my 1st baby in 2008 at SJMC. Done all check-ups with Dr Siti. The queue was long even though you come in the morning. Normally, I registered then went back home/went to Subang Parade or Mid Vallley. The consultation charges was only RM 40…but add with tax, vitamins, etc…will come about RM 100++ per visit. But when blood test is performed…the bill can reach RM 300++.

My delivery was normal, with epidural and vacuum. Stayed at a single room for 3days 2 nights. Food was really nice and even have options just like in flight. Nurses were nice, even the cleaner is friendly. Total bill is around RM 3500.

For Prudential policy holder, you get 30% room rate. You have to pay RM 3000 as deposit once admitted, and RM 6000 if c-section.

I have no complains and in fact satisfied with what I paid for. I’ll be seeing Dr Siti again for my 2nd baby this week.

Hopefully they don’t increase the price since now SJMC is under Sime Darby.

Such a great forum to stumbled upon.

Here’s my 2-cents for all =)
I’m 4 months pregnant w my 1st baby. Currently doing my monthly follow-up w Prof BK Lim at UMSC. He was a natural choice for me because he did my laproscopic surgery to remove dermoid cyst 2 years back. Plus the fact that I carry A LOT of allergies (Paracetamol is one of them), which can be a complication. (Sidetrack: I swear off Ampang Puteri long time ago when a doctor prescribe me Panadol when I reminded her not to)

Anyway if u’re planning to see Prof Lim, pls bring a book or something to read cuz waiting period is usually more than 1-hr. I usually take a number then go off for lunch. His consultation hours are Tue 2-5pm and Fri 5-8pm.

Monthly visits cost approx RM120. My previous visit cost about RM400 cuz he did blood test, etc.

I have no clue on his delivery skills as of yet and have no idea on the delivery process at UMSC. But the last time I was warded for my surgery at Menara Timur (2007), the nurses were great because they took care of me really well.

If you have any history w Prof, do share. Appreciate it =)

Mira, I had dr siti too as my gynae. Just went for my pap smear. She is a very good doctor. Congrats on your 2nd child…..my bill with SJMC was RM2200 that is in 2007. I agree SJMC is realyy good & affordable la.

Hi all,

Any latest review on UMRA Sec 13 Shah Alam?

hi mama,

thanks.it’ll helps a lot.

Neway, went to UMSC today..soo hard to get a parking, I spent almost 3 hours searching for parking but to no avail.My panel refer me to specialist due to blood spotting, which worsen lately. So I think its worth to try UMSC, but then I’ve to change my mind and went to Pantai Bangsar instead.I’m at 23 weeks, so I think I still got time to choose..

piano cover…

[...] Good piano performance. Thanks heaps for this!… if anyone else has anything it would be much appreciated. Great website http://www.en.Grand-Pianos.org Enjoy!…

hi, i’m now at 23rd weeks pegnant now. thinking to go to usmc for my delivery. anyone can suggest any doctor and delivery charges? for both natural birthday and c-section. thabks..

Hi all ,

I was planning to delivery my second baby in Damansara Specialist next year Jan end .. but the doc told me i may need a c section … i felt it was to ealry to conclude this and went to Assunta instead for a second opinion . Has anyone visited Dr Paul Tay there?

Hi Liz. You said that DSH is expensive due to the doctor. May I know which O&G attended to you ? Appreciate the heads up as I am currently seeing Dr Suzanna at DSH and no not know what are her charges yet.

Thanks.

Hi Lin,

My gyane was a sessional doctor, but his fees were reasonable. It was the pediatrician that cost so much. In the bill they called it ‘ward review’ when they come to see your baby in your room for 10 or 15 minutes (without us asking for it), they charge so much.

I think Dr Susanna is a resident dr there, maybe you can ask her for an estimation on how much the delivery cost will be? I tried asking the staff and they wont tell me anything – no wonder… when I saw the bill I almost pengsan!

Anyone has the most recent delivery charges at Assunta? Thanks in advance.

Hi, great day.. Your content is extremely inspiring. I never thought that it was possible to carry out something like that until after I checked out your page. You certainly offered an incredible insight on exactly how this kind of whole scheme operates. Ill always visit for more tips. Thanks!

Hi..greeting everyone.

I’m Syed Fareed. I already married and my wife are pregnant right now. I’m concern about my wife, specially when she will deliver our baby. Not about the date of delivery but about the hospital that I can choose to send my wife for delivery of our baby. Right now, my wife work at Shah Alam. I’m currently work at Senai, Johor. Soon about on month of june forward, I will bring my wife to Johor. i concern a lots of thing. One of my concern is where is good private hospital at Johor for my wife delivery. About hospital service.how nurse treat mom before, during and after delivery. Also I want to know about the cost from day enter for delivery to discharged from private hospital, as I want to make our preparation. I hope anybody can help me on this matter. I realy appreciate any answer. Thank You.

Appreciate if anybody can share your experince with GOMBAK MEDICAL CENTRE?

I got thru this site by chance as I am doing my masters assignment.I am glad to see all mothers sharing your views. For your information, Selangor Medical Centre is now KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital.We are a Baby Friendly Hospital, thus we encourage breastfeeding.

I first found this website last year when I was like 6mths preggy.. Good website though, but not enough info on Pantai Bangsar.
Now my son is almost 8mths old.
I safely delivered my bb at Pantai Bangsar through a normal delivery. Once my gynae broke my waterbag, he said I need to be induced, to speed the contraction as my bb had pooped. Otherwise, c-sect! Thankgod i dont have to go for the c-sect… but I took the epidural Stayed there for 3D1N..double-bedded. All in all… the bill came about RM5k. I guess the meds were the culprits! If not, maybe it’ll be around RM3.5k.. But you have to put RM5k as a deposit upon warded.. Service was OK. The nurses at the laborward were nice and courteous. They really took care of me as I was a first-timer back then. Just my 2cents. Hope this info helps

some of the posts in here are advertisements either from the gynae or the pvt itself haha

hee….hi to all mum to be

im 24 yrs and rite now 8wks pregger..but no baby bump showing yet…huhu…i live in kota dsara (very near to pusrawi)…
i’m doing survey on which 1 is better privte o gov?
im thinking bout pusrawi to do my monthly checkup…and so far,ppl only mention 1 female gynae in pusrawi-dr zarina..is there any female gynae in pusrawi kd?

dont go to Gombak Medical centre. I heard horror stories and they dont have enough equipment!

has anyone taken an epidural at hospital Selayang? can it be given round-the-clock/24 hours? or have been a Full paying Patient there? experience pls.

Din,
I used to take my students there, for clinical attachment.Now I am still working but in a private hospital in Shah Alam.LSCS is not so frightening as it used to be. In a Baby Friendly Hospital The operation is done under spinal. Thisis to ensure that the baby is latched on to the breast or have a skin to skin contact in the OT Itself.I hope that it is a BFHI Hospital as I think it is the government policy to have all government hospital as a BFHI Hospital.

Hi,I gave birth on 2009 Sept @ DSH,It was a normal delivery + epidural+vacum.The cost was RM4.5k and with double bed.I would say the service was very very bad.They kept me in labour room after I deliver for abt 1hr+ reason no nurse to take me to my wad.Then I was not given any food after delivery..reason they forgot.The worst was they never clean or bath my bb-reason not enough of staff..2nd day while I was going to discharge and I paid CASH..they made me wait 4hr..reason normally discharge take long time and they wanted the paedtriction to come over to see the bb 1st b4 I can go home..ok fine I waited till I could not take no more..I insist the nurse to call the Paed Dr..they Paed dr was in church and said she 4got and could not come..jst ask me to go back home..WTH…The room service was so so bad..the bathroom was so dirty..the sink was leaking..There did not give any extra bed for my hubby ..reason not enough space in the room..so he had to sleep in the chair..All this again cost me RM4.5K..Im not ever going back to the HOSP eventhoug is just next door to my home.

eh. nice thoughts

Syaza,
Since you are in JB, you can go to the KPJ Specialist Hospital there. Since I am so.. use to working in the private hospital, I can see a great difference. Firstly is the environment and 2ndly the prompt service.Thirdly the upto date treatment. Staffs, they are more or less similar BUT in the private they have to give priority to guest service.Still this depends whether you strike lottery on care in the hands of the Medical team.I personally went through alot being warded many many times.

lAY D,
My neibour told me that it is not so cosy, thus recently she returned back to be warded in KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital. For your information SMC is now under the KPJ group stewardship. There are many changes now. There are other Consultants to choose from as you are paying. So do not feel oblidge to stay with the same Consultant ( if you are not please). If your delivery is normal it will not cost so much. There is a package to choose from. Let hope that there is no more LSCS. Any hospital will charge you, especially if it is an emergency at night!! Feel free to call me if you wish to see the new set up.

Kelly,
How long have you been married??Its best to see the Gynaecologist to investigate the cause of your `infertility’. Meanwhile eat more onions/garlic. Learn to relax and not so tense up. Set priorty in your work etc.

To Dear Faridah bt Abdul Majid,

first, THANK YOU very much in answering me.
because i am soo lonely here.
I will chek out the hospital you mentioned. tnx tnx tnx
were you satisfied with the service there?
I am worried. now I am in week 16. Thanks God everything is okay till now.
tnx dear.

To Farida,
or you mean “http://www.hkl.gov.my/”?

i m tired of searching and gettin no where.
tnx

Syaza,
If you want to go to private clinic be wary as sometimes they employ untrained staff to assit ( but they wear uniform like nurses). Sometime sterility is questionable as these untrained staff are not trained in this field. So go to the government BUT 1st class so that you will not rasa `miskin’ sangat. Pity your unborn child.

I’m so glad i’ve found this website. I’m already in my 32nd week and I’m still contemplating where to give birth. I’m currently visiting a maternity clinic, but not too sure whether i would want to deliver there. I’m also looking for places to sign up for antenatal/prenatal classes. Any one can suggest or recommend a good class?

Thanks Faridah

Great… Thanks Sham.

Just ring 03-55431111 ext 4018 for the dates that is suitable for you. I have people as far as Sarawak and Trengganu Doctor , Lawyers and Graduate attending my class. I cannot have it too often as I am finishing my Masters at the Uni.

KPJ Selangor is in section 20 shah alam
Tomorrow I will be having a class . If you are able to make it, come at 8:45 AM. Class ends at KIV 6PM. I am at Education Unit 4th Floor. It is a one complete class so that you do not have to waste your time.

Tomorrow would be too soon for us. I will call to book for the next session. Yes, my husband would be accompanying me, so we both prefer to have one complete class for one day. Thanks Freda.

My lips are sealed BUT the Consultants are DR Siti, Dr Yeen, Dr Tan ( sessional), Dr Shahbayeah ( she was a specialist in HBKL) a very gentle and caring Consultant).She ia also our breast feeding chairman.

Any recommend clinic or hospitals at Klang, Selangor???

Lee,
Are you staying in Klang?? I am anyway. It all depends. If you have limited money, Just go to Klang Government hospital BUT try to get to the first class ward. If you do not mind the hessle and waiting Just go to the 2nd class. After all if everthing is normal, you only have to suffer the disconfort for i-2 days.
If you have the money, there is Sri Kota Hospital. However in the future the KPJ Group of hospital will be opening a new hospital near Jaya Jusco.
You can see that building as you enter Klang from KL. Other alternative is KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital, at section 20 Shah Alam. That is where I work. Visit me and I will take you around.

hi Freda,

I’m planning to UMMC for my delivery next month. What’s your opinion regarding their service? Is it worth to go there? As I heard there are many students there, I’m quite concern about that.

bb
there’re many reply from other bout UMMC previously.. u should read one by one then.. i did too..

bb,
Sometimes having students there you get more TLC ( tender, loving care). My male student nurses are much loved by the old ma’ciks as they are so gentle and loving in caring for patients. So don’t have negative thoughts regarding students. If we will not give them a chance, how are we going to get good Doctors???

Dear Freda,
which Dr do u recommend in Hospital Kuala Lumpur ??

Normally the test thht they do will be:
1. HB%
2. Urine for full and microscopic examination , to make sure that you do not have infection.
3. Blood pressure to exclude pre eclampsia.
4. Urine for sugar and acetone.
5. Blood VDRL

When Drs are concerned, all consultants are the same. The only difference is, maybe one will hold your hand gently and the next won’t ( so to say).

hi moms,

i’m so glad to find this page. Can anyone pls update me abt the cost n gynae @ tropicana medical centre?

hi Freda,

Could u pls let me know how much is the cost for normal birth in KPJ selangor? and also the c-section cost? if let say i’ve tried for the normal birth but end up with c-section, how much is the total cost? which doctor would u recommend there?

thanks for your info.

bb,
I you do come, look me up so that you can get more TLC ( tender loving care) as I am also the ADHOC Auditor there. My other duties are: Head of education Services (4th floor),Breastfeeding counsellor,etc

hi Freda,

Thanks a lot for your info. but what is LSCS? Actually i’m now at 39th week and all the while i did my checkup in UH. last week the doctor told me if my baby still not come out when due, they will wait for another 2 weeks (until 42nd week) and do induction for me. I have concern regarding this actually. After discuss with my hubby, we decided not to wait that long. If baby still not come out, we will go straight to private hospital.
But 1 question, if i never do any check up in private hospital, is the hospital will accept my admission?

LSCS is Lower segment caesarian Section.
Just call me so that I can ensure that you get TLC. I will also guide you on breastfeeding and maybe baby massage as well.016-2675307

hi Freda,

Thanks a lot for your useful info. Really appreciate it! I will discuss with hubby 1st and decide what to do later. Btw, which doctor you will recommend there?

My lips are sealed bb. All consultants are the same. Only you can decide as the money is yours.
If you are interested to breastfeed, I will help you and Dr Shahbaeyah is our breastfeeding consultant.

Now in d 8th mth, tot of having this 3rd bb in private. Khor & Loh is near 2 my house @ Mutiara Rini, although Perdana Specialist @ Taman U is 5 mins drive away. How much is d cost for normal + epi? Both previous pregnancies, normal, of coz x epi, at GH ma. So now i feel like having a painless birth.

budget around 2k is gud enuf…Syaza, K&L cannot sleep wif bb after birth? Kat HSA dulu, diaorg memang bagi bb sleep wif us but then wen it’s time 4 mandi n feeding, nurse dtg ambiklah coz yelah, mana ada susu kuar awal sgt pun, at least 3rd-5th day baru susu mengalir. But then yelah, part seluk after jahit n b4 discaharge tu yg x tahan, jahit w/o bius pun i x tahan! Did thet bring u tour d wards? Nice arr?

To all concern:
In a Baby Friendly Hospital, the babies must be with the mother 24 hrs a day.That is the requirement.
Re: Breast Milk–> most mother’s milk will be produced by the third day. Thus in the Labour room, once the baby is out, the baby and mon must have tummy to tummy ( skin contact) and the baby put to the breast. This is the best time for both mother and baby to bond. The stimulation of sucking will commence the production of Pitocin and Prolactin.
Prolaction will commence milk production and the pitocin assist in the expulsion of the milk as well as control bleeding.
It is important that the baby learn to suck the first three days as the baby can get the colostrum ( do read up regarding its content, as my message will be too long). Come to my class at KPJ Selangor, Shah Alam and I will guide you step by step.

to Freda,

Oh so you also have antenatal classes ! great !
when is your next class.
now I am in week 22+
I had my blood test in the clinic i go for monthly chek up, + urine test.
it was normal.

Dear friend still i havent chosen a hospital to deliver my baby. I went to KL general hospital, bersalin hospital,
but to tell the truth the place didnt impressed me at all !
I wished to take a look at the frist class ward, but unfortunately it was closed due to renovation.
sometimes I am too stressed out that i wish to go back home, in Iran.

Dear Mansoore,

If you are looking for a medical center in KL, I am currently seeing Dato’ Sambhi in Co-Op Medical Center on Jln Medan Tuanku. It used to be a maternity clinic and I was born there. Most of thier nurses are very senior and experienced. They are very gentle and friendly. This Medical Center had just been renovated, so it is very clean. They only have 1 bedded room, so husbands are able to be with you. The price is also very reasonable, for normal is starts from RM1,700 and for C-Sec it starts from RM3,000.
Initially I went to Tropicana Medical Center, but found the treatment there to be very formal and i did not feel comfortable to ask any questions as this is my 1st pregnancy. But once my mother asked me to visit this center, I’m very happy. I hope my experience would help.
I am due any day now, once I do I will share the treatment after birth with you so it’ll help you decide.

Dear Mansoore,

It’s my pleasure. I too live in ampang area, in Tmn Melawati. The CMC is quite close since we can take the Akleh highway.

Don’t stress out too much… This is the time for us to relax.

wanie…did u deliver ur baby? what is actual bill u had be charged? my wife also gynea dr Idora. Why normal between 3k-6k?

thaaaaaaaanks elle b,
wish you heaps of luck !

Anyone can share with me your experience at PPUM? I am due next month, and still cannot decide to go for Assunta or PPUM. Does PPUM allow husband to be in the labour room?

Hi all! She was in nicu bec she had acute pneumonia and this is very very rare..less than 1% chance of happening. it was pantai hospital in pantai..the nicu was very good and when u r crazy with worry then u dont question the hospital fees anymore..u just want the best for your child. Thank God, he healed her.Not sure is all of the pantai hospital are the same…just remember that if you have elevated white blood cells bfr u give birth, u may hv an infection that has a less than 1% chance of spreading to baby but it can happen.

hi Freda and anyone who has experience:

finally i have given birth. but anyway, 1st time become mummy, i still have a lot of thing need to be learn up. i hope who has such experience with my question, kindly provide info.

my baby is now about 1 month old. due to i do not have enough breast milk for her, i mix formula milk (anmum) to her. how many ml should i give her at one time? 80ml is it enough? anyone can share the experience with anmum milk powder? good?? my baby does not past motion everyday, is it something wrong? she only past motion 2 to 3 days once.

hi Mom Faiz,

welcome. but of course, u need to take care of your baby. the baby will be with u 24 hrs. i like it because i can see my baby all the time.

I delivered my baby last month in SJMC with Dr Delaila…the service are goods but the charges are very pricy…
i had normal delivery (pain killer + gas), 4d3n, single room, it costs me RM5200…
after 2 days, my bb was admitted bcoz of dehyration (not enuf breastmilk , it cos me another RM4000, also single room coz i need to be admitted also….
For my first post-natal check-up, it costs me RM 200++…

to mom faiz:

yes. PPUM is only allow breast feeding. that’s y your baby shd b with u all the time.

to Sheryl:

i was admitted on saturday morning at 11:++am. i had the contraction pain and then thinking to go for checking 1st. who knows.. the nurse told me that i had to be admitted 1st. after that, the doctor checked for me. according to her, i was yet to deliver as it only open 2cm. then they sent me to 2nd floor and i have to wait there. the nurse and doctor on and off will come and check upon your request. if only more than 4cm, they will send u to labor room.

i wait until midnite at about 1am and my waterpack burst. they sent me to labor room and i wait until 9am+. actually i can discharge next day. but happen that my hubby not manage to get leave, so, i stayed for another day. if minus 1 day and epidural, the total cost shd be below rm600. the cost for the bed for 1 day is rm20 only.

hehe.. i was lucky. i admitted on saturday and delivered on sunday. no student there because of weekend. the doctor who did the stitches for me was an indian guy. he is medical officer (MO) there. he is so nice, so patient and so gentle and steady. i can chit-chatting with him while he did the stitching.

for epidural, i specifically requested for it as i really cannot stand for the pain. but frankly, it was useless for me as i requested when it opened 5cm. according to the nurse, the best time to have epidural is when it open 2-3cm. so remember when u really want the epidural, u have to request early.

I gave birth at Pantai Ampang, under Dr Shuhaimi. Highly recommended, very gentle and caring. Really takes care of the patients. He tells it straight up, and puts the patient as priority (compared to family requests and worries). When he told me that I have to go for emergency Csection, I immediately cried but he soothed me down and went into a “fatherly” mode. Will definitely go to him again for the next one!

Staff are also very nice. They encourage room in and breastfeeding friendly. They’ll guide you how to breastfeed, and entertain all of my questions.

I had an emergency Csection due to baby distress after 9 hours of labour, opening only 3cm. So was charged labour room also, plus epidural. 4 days 3 nights, cost me about 9k.

Am going 2 pakar perbidanan khor & loh 2moro….35th week…i still x know whteher their facilities r well-equipped…

a friend of mine had a caesarian at ampang putri , under Dr. Kuppu Velumani

it cost her 10k

Thanks, new mummy, for the information. I appreciate it. I’m so sad to hear that PPUM is not father friendly. I really hope that my hubby can be by my side during the entire labor process. Any idea how about Putrajaya Hospital? Yes, they are father friendly, that what I have heard, but do they provide epidural?

dear sham ,
im not sure of that .. but my friend had the c-sec last friday and it cost her 10k.

by the way i was wondering if the hospitals here do allow direct blood donation in case of fatal bleeding during the c-sec operation??????

cuz i heard several death cases bcuz of bleeding while no blood either from a Donator nor from the blood bank is available in less then an hour .

hi New Mummy,

I just made a call there. Yes, they do provide epidural but only during office hours. If so happen you deliver at night, then sorry. How abt at PPUM? Since I’m now 9 mths pregnancy, they actually advise me to stick with PPUM. Moreover, they cannot guarantee me a place during the day of my labor. They say if the places are taken up, they have the rights to transfer me to other hospital with their ambulance.

Yes, Mom Faiz, I’ve registered with PPUM. In fact, I do my regular follow up with PPUM since my 8th month pregnancy.

I’d love PPUM.. If not because of they are not father friendly, I will not think for other alternatives. I really cant imagine without my hubby by my side throughout the entire my labor process:(

Have born my baby shanice last yr 09/08/2010 at Gleneagle Intan Medical Centre, 3D2N is about RM4000.
Nurse & Doctor all so friendly~
Good Services & nice food also ^^
will still go thr for my 2nd baby

** Single delivery suite with bath room & daddy was allowed to stay with u all the time until me give birth, n as Doctor information, they allow to let my husband & my family members/friend is permitted to be with me during delivery.
But i just ask my husband to stay with me ^^
For my case, my shanice not willing to have breastfeeding due to my nipple too flat, so thy will ask to have a sign to agreed to let my baby have formula milk, BUT, nurse still will bring my baby to me often when my baby cry for milk to let me try to have breastfeeding, but failed every time ==”

i choose single suit, have a big sofa, bathroom, nice food (4meals, Breakfast, Lunch, High Tea & Dinner) but they will send me supper also~

Conclusion, Thumb up for gleneagle

dear rafael,

i’ve never heard of people dying in hospital coz lack of blood. mostly they will have adequate supply and will ask family members/ friends to donate to replenish the stock. i dont think donating blood should be problem especially rare blood types.

hi Sheryl,

in fact, i requested the epidural at midnight (4am+). i made the request and the doctor purposely called the anesthetist on call come. the anesthetist was pretty good (indian guy). he explained to me 1st before he does something. do remember if u want epidural, please request when it open 2cm.

i did have concern about the father friendly case also before that. but thinking of the charges, i was ok with that.

i’m not familiar with putrajaya. but as wat i know, u got to pre-register there also. my fren delivered there. but i heard the day she admitted, they did not hv bed for her also. hv to wait.

Went 2 kempas med centre & met up wif d resident OG doc there, dr.lawson. Good, friendly, and i find d place comforting. ok, so i’ve made up my mind 2 gv birth there.

I really need a help here. I currently having my check up in Assunta with Dr Liew Fah Onn. But I heard from my friend that Assunta’s equipment was old & dirty. I’m wondering that Assunta already gone thru a renovation recently? Was it include the interior reno in labour ward? Would hope that those who have recently deliver there give me some opinion? As I wish to stick with Dr. Liew as his stitching skill was excellent (as I heard from the thread here mentioned a good stitching may help heal the wound faster)Pls help?

Thanks Sheryl for ur reply and comments. It really help to relieve me. Thanks again. Anyhow, wish u best of luck for ur delivery of ur new born bb next month. Kambade!

hi all..now i’m overdue for 5 days..i do my check up at kedah coz i work there..since my due is near to school holiday..so, i decide to deliver at selangor(balik kampung)..
thank a lot to all that give information about PPUM coz i decide to deliver there…
Actually I’m afraid to deliver at gov. hosp..but since my budget is not enough to pay for the fee at private..so, i decide to choose semi private..hopefully everything is okay..n pray for me..

thanks to Mom Faiz..i’ll share my experience after my deliver…huh! chaiyok!!

I recently delivered a baby girl and want her circumcised. Any good hospitals that offer this procedure for a reasonable price ?

hi dear mums,

please guide me, tell me about epidural . I’m in 27th week now. i need to get some information about epidural.

Hi mommies.. I’m in my 23rd week.. planning to deliver in private… anyone can tell me about pusat perubatan an-nur @ az-zahra? seems that there were several questions about these 2 centers but no answers..thanx..

Food that can encouraged milk production are:
1. Ikan Yu ( shark)
2. Chinese Lobak
3. Chinese Red Dates
4. Jantung Pisang
5. Drum stick and leaves
6. Fenugreek (Halba)
7. Chivers (Kuchai)

If babies are breastfed, they will not be constipated.
Do baby massage. as massage will prevent baby from flatulence etc.
There will be a baby massage `Torch Road Show’ at City TEL Midvalley. 11:00AM to 1:30PM Johnson&Johnsons
To attend you have to apply a place. RM20/couple. See you all there ( GODs willing).

elle B,
I have also replied to you but it is not printed here. I hope you received it.
I am glad that you opt for the gas instead of epidural. So you will have beautiful memories of child birth to share with your friend etc.
Do not forget to breastfeed your baby and do baby massage.

Ibu nurdina:
I pernah bersalin kt hosp. selayang tahun 2001, takde la kena bad experience camtu, cuma semua kena buat sendiri & nurse didn’t help at all. I think without the red card, they won’t accept you. Why don’t u try hosp sg. buloh? I pun kena emergency LSCS on Raya nite, but treatment was good & staff was friendly. Kat umra pun i ada bad experience gak…

Roze:
I sunatkan my eldest girl at a GP’s klinik, my 2nd girl at Naluri Medical Centre, Wangsa Maju & my 4th girl at Pusrawi Kota D’sara. All with lady doctors.Charges were minimal. Ambik syarat jer.

Mansoore:
My advice – u don’t need an epidural unless you really can’t tolerate pain. I delivered all my 3 children without epidural, gas, etc. Only with the 4th, i had emergency lscs.

Take care all.

thank you Dear Freda and Yatie

Thank you so much for the info on girl’s khitan, Yatie. It is very useful and I will get it done at the earliest.

Just one thing on my mind. I understand that what is required in Islam is the removal of a little skin covering the clitoris. Can I be sure that this is what will be done at the hospitals you have mentioned ?

Rozie,
In female circumcision, the DR will snip the membrane covering the clitoris. Usually there will not be any bleeding. For females , it is just the ritual.
After my daughter had it done by a midwife, she was given a flower bath
( 7 types of flowers).This is of course optional.

Jessica,
I am glad that you brought up regarding `Roma Birth Wheel ‘. It is to allow biirthing to take place the natural way. The article below explains:

The High-Tech Roma Birth Wheel

On rocks in the Central Sahara are the oldest known paintings of childbirth. Dating back about 10,000 years, they depict a standing mother giving birth. Later, around 2,500 BC, in ancient Egypt, women used a “birth stone” for delivery. Modern women are going back to these natural origins with the newest invention from Switzerland, the Roma Birth Wheel.

It looks more like a science-fiction ride than a serious medical breakthrough, but it may actually change childbirth as we know it. Fortunately, this modern delivery-chair replaced the rock of yore with a comfortable cushioned seat, and a built-in motor which allows the seat to recline to any angle. It promises easier childbirth with decreased discomfort, thanks to the help of gravity.

The Roma birth wheel is already in use in more than 100 clinics throughout Europe and Japan, and due to an encouraging response, its use is spreading. Still, the Birth Wheel has been slower coming to America, perhaps because of its relatively high price of Sfr. 40,000.

The inventor, Paul Degen, is an avid fan, not just because he designed it, but because of his first-hand experience. It was named after the first baby born using the wheel – his little daughter Roma.

Swiss American Review, July 24, 1996

HAI: My sis delivered @ Annur. Very good, i heard from her experience except 4 d long queue. Catch up wif Dr Fatimah. Rates r reasonable, hers was epidural & vacuum, 2.4k if x mistaken, Soon she wil deliver 2nd bb, also there.
MOM Faiz: X sure abt epidural but i’m going 4 it this time, my sis said x pain. 2nite or 2moro i’ll b in labour, nurse said bb’s head oready engage. I had the gas when i delivered 2nd bb, was 4 the stitching part. It only makes u drowsy, but it DOES NOT take away the pain!

I’m going to deliver at Pusat Perubatan Naluri at Wangsa Maju, recommended by a friend which had a good experience there. The doctors are Gynae from Ampang Puteri Hospital..the package are also very reasonable and affordable.

Thanks Yatie/Freda for the clarification. I’m glad they’re doing it correctly in the places you have mentioned. I guess this holds true for most or all of Malaysia.

I heard that in Indonesia they sometimes snip a bit of clitoris which can affect the girls sex life later. I guess it is best to have this kind of thing done in Malaysia, preferably in one of the hospitals you have mentioned.

And yes I agree that its best to have the girls done early. As for boys, I guess its best to wait a while since much more is taken off so that it can be painful and stressful to the infant and even affect mother-infant bonding. I had my son done when he was five and did not have any problems. We had a grand party for him and now that he’s seven he playfully asks me whether he can be circd again with another party to go with it. Strong boy yeah !

Spinal or not, nothing is without risk.
So just tawakal or opt for the normal process.

Powder is not advised for babies to avoid baby inhaling it and develop ellergy, asthma etc.

Breastfeeding babies usually do not have constipation. Thus this is one of the advantages of breastfeeding baby.

I will be away for 5 days next week to attend a BFHI course, BUT I will try to peep in to see what you all are discussing.

Huaaaa…. stil x signs of labour! But my mum had just arrived here so it’s gud 2 know my hubb can b wif me during labour – she’ll help 2 baby sit d other 2. I’ll sure tell u abt the experience once i’m thru it k!

Thanks mummy_fer.. hope to hear from you soon…

to dear Freda,
Welcome Back.
yes I made up my mind.
I’ll to to Pantai Hospital in Amppang. it s a private one. and my consaltant is Dr.Isa Suhaimi.
Im in week 29th now. everything is fine ,Thanks to God. My mum will come to Malaysia soon, and im soo happy about it.

i promised 2 share my experience. 13 June, 3am i felt some pain in my tummy n could not sleep. I know that this would b a sign that i’m nearing labour. 6.30am, contractions, 1 hour apart. Told my hub n asked him x 2 worry, i’ll tell him when 2 go 2 d hosp. 10am, blood. contractions 30 mins to 1 hour apart. 2pm went 2 hosp but Dr Lawson (Kempas Med Centre) checked n said i had only dilated 1.5cm (since a week ago!). he told me 2 go home 1st n rest. By 9pm i could not stand the pain. it was 5-10 mins apart.11.30pm we left the house after my kids slept. luckily my mum was here to help). i had oready dilated 5cm n i knew that epidural is oready not an option, i’m oready in 2nd stage. they inserted drip wif a special med which dr lawson said would keep me clam 4 2 hours after he break my water bag then poof! bb will come out. i inhaled gas each time i feel strong contraction. yup, after 2 hours i felt the urge 2 push n 2.59am, my baby boy was born. Discharged at 1pm the next day… i paid 2.5k, and i stayed in the suite! love u hubby 4 giving me such pampering! it’s 1 week now after d birth… i must say when u inhale the gas, just inhale until ur in dreamland. better 2 hv sometg 2 ease the pain than 2 hv nothing at all. thx all mums 4 sharing wif me ur experience, hope u gv birth safely.

I am at 4th Floor. Just ask for
Pn. Faridah

If she sleeps thru thenight it is good for you BUT she will not get the full nourishment. Before we were taught to wake baby up after two hours of sleep. Recently we were told feed on demand by baby, thus basing on that, it is alright but make sure she feeds well once she gets up.

hye all…

been browsing this blog, tapi tak jumpe satu pon info about PANTAI HOSPITAL KLANG or SRI KOTA MEDICAL CENTRE KLANG. anybody been there?? any experience shared will be much appreciated.. tq! =)

Hi Moms,
I do not know which Pantai Hospital in Klang. If it is near the round about, It is not so spacious. I brought my daughter’s friend there before.
Dato and Datin Boopalan are there. I know him some 50 years ago. He is a good, patient and friendly Consultant.

Sr Kota Hospital is spacious, Services wise is like any Private Hospital. Patient Service is fairly good and friendly. Quality : well all hospitals have trained Consultants
When you pay they have to be nice to you. So choice is yours asyou are paying for their services. So cheer up!!

Yes , at the hotel there. It will start at 10:30AM. I will be there with my staff.
It is worth going. Bring your husband along. Team work is very important if you are a first time mother!!!
See you there dear.

just to share this info with you .
My wife had a C-sec at An-nur hospital at Bangi , under Dr.Fatimah – she is good- 4D-3N , every thing cost us RM5500 .
includig a pedeatric check up for the baby and HEB 1 injection too.

i give it 8/10

good luck to all new moms

Oh, BTW a week after i gv birth, Columbia Asia Nusajaya opened its hosp! Chehhh… they shud hv opened earlier (or shud i say my due date shud hv been a bit late? heheheheh….)

Hi Mansoore,
You said that you will come to Sunway Hotel BUT I did not see you. The turn out today was very very good.
I was looking for you.

Sorry to hear that Mansoore. I t was a pity you could not make it, as it was full house. The respond was soooooo good. Maybe some other time.

Why did you not tell me that you get the information regarding my class from here??? I was also at Sunway Hotel yesterday teaching baby massage.You friend who was sitting at the back ( near the door) attended the class.
Sad that Mansoore could not make it.
WEhich breastmilk storage that you are referring to???
1. Avent brand is the one with light blue cover.
2.To store alot cum cheaper, I would advice you to use the `dadeh’ plastic containers or the feeder with the cute spoon attached.I cannot tell you the brand as it is not with me at home.
Just go to JUSCO baby section and ask the sale girls. That was how I got it. It is only RM6.90EA. RESCO might have it too.

hi Freda,

my daughter already 3 months plus old. i noticed that she doesn’t like to drink her milk these 2 weeks. she always push away the bottle with her tongue and cry. i was then have to pursue her to drink with carry her around and at the same time, feed her milk.
she will keep on reject at 1st, but after some while, she is ok and will finish the milk. why is this happen? it is because of she doesn’t like the smell of the milk powder? i’m not breastfeed her anymore due to work. i was giving her mamex gold step 1 and now changing to snow. waiting for the result see whether she likes it or not? do u have any suggestion?
need your professional advice here.. tq!

Freda,
Actually i not aware that Freda= Faridah, until end of the class u were mentioned about webpage..so when i checked back it was u!..haha..anyway..my hubby and me enjoyed yr class..maybe some might feel **** when u talked bout food and recipes..anyway, take that in a positive way..as not all cook for their husband..for me i cooked when time allows..simple cook taste better than eat outside..:)

WSL,
No worry only one guest gave a negative comment as she does not realised that I was teaching the recipes made easy and tasty for increased milk production. In the process cook a good meal for your husbands. This coming class will be 18 couples. We have to reject some as their due date is so close that I cannot add anymore.There is no more space for exercise.
The cute feeder is a KIKO Brand. I wrote twice this morning at work BUT the hospital network refused to forward them.
The double breast pump that I mentioned, is a SPECTRA BRAND. cOST RM320/- TO RM 350/-
Regarding my name, my Scottish friends called me Freda when I was living in Scotland in 1979-1980.

BB, i also cannot BF, 1st kid until this newly born. 1st n 2nd consume frisolac until 1yr then change 2 dugro. but the 3rd, d hosp gv him mamex gold so i stick wif it. tried 2 change 2 frisolac but d poopoo was quite dry so changed back 2 mamex. still i was looking 4 another brand, u know y? mamaex encourage bb 2 poopoo, he keep on poopoo sometimes more than 5 times a day! so i tried S26 regular, read som comments on it. yeas, i finally found the brand which is not 2 cheap n not 2 costly n most important is his poopoo looks good.

bb I wrote a reply thru my email as I could not get into this chat room BUT my reply does not reach you.

1. No milk can replace mother’s milk.
2. Breastmilk babies do not have
constipation if fed exclusively with
BM.
3. BF babies will have loose stool and
not constipated stool.
4. When baby massage is done, baby will
not have flatulence.
5. BF and Baby massage baby will bond
well with the mom , become
intelligent etc
6. Baby’s tummy cannot tolerate when
you change the milk brands–>
diarrhoea etc
7. If your baby’s stool is really black
do check with the DR, if you do not
give any iron supplement.

It is sad that bb and mama FER did not breastfeed. If you had come to see me I would have guided you. Then you can have the joy of breastfeeding and how to manage it.
At least let your baby have BM x6months, 2yrs and beyond.

Food that encourage milk production are:
1. kuchai
2. Pegaga
3. Drum stick/leaves
4. Ikan Yu
5. Red chinese dates
6. Halba
7. Chinese Lobak
8. Jantung Pisang
9. Massaging the back . Technique?? come and see me then I will teach you.

hi!..i’m still in early stage..but wondering whether the deliver cost will still b d same for nxt yr (EDD somewhere end Mar or early Apr) ..i followd most of the thread but no mention of HUKM…any comments esp on the Specialist Centre..i know they have the normal wards & semi-private?…My other option is SDMC coz my sis is working there ..My requests are quite simple, i want a female (muslim preferably) Dr, hubby is allow in delivery room, & promotes breastfeeding…oh & private room last but not least..so i gues i need to save up to RM15k by nxt yr & pray hard it’s enough & bb deliver safe/ sound…

Freda,
What time is the baby massage lesson?
Is there a lot of session for on day or it’s just gonna be like 1.5 hr time..Too bad it’s not on weekends..might have to take a day off probably..

Mom fkry,
My team will be there from 8:30AM to 5:00PM on the 2nd Tues to Friday.If I am not there just ask my staff to ring me or you can ring me at 016-6575250.
It is worth learning for the benefit of your baby etc. Bring your husband along as he can help you during the confinement period.
See you there!!

bb,

I have listed the food that you must take to increase milk supply BUT the best person to stimulate milk production is your baby. Please ring me up or come and see me personally so that I can guide you.
I am at KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital Shah Alan ( section 20)
Education Services 4th floor

I’m in my 30th week. lately I’ve been feeling like fainting and nauseus.. is this a normal symphtom? anybody with experience?

Hai,
Are you still having your morning sickness??
If you are feeling like fainting, just lie down and rest.
Get up slowly if you need to. Usually this is due to homornal changes in your body.
Nausea?? Quite common
Avoid oily and spicy food.
Foods that have strong
smell, like petai, durians
etc
Eat small frequent meals.
Ring me up for further inquery.

* Visit the O&G Consultant if it persist.
* My vomitting persisted till the day I deilvered my daughter!!!

Thanks Freda…

Mansoore .
Have you delivered??
Nothing can replace the humble cotton napkin.
1. It is everlasting!!
The napkin I used for my daughter 35
years ago is still good. I just need
to bleach it and use it to teach as
a teaching aid!!
2. Your baby will get more attention
from you!! Thus increase bonding!!
3. Frequent changing of the napkin
Protects the baby skin. To increase
protection apply diapolene to the
areas
4. Due to the price of diapers, some
mom tend to let BB to urinate
according to instruction or more
causing the poor BB’s skin to
excoriate.

5. If you are working, then it cannot
be help as no baby amah like to look
after your BB if you do not supply
diapers. BUT once you are back
home , it is advisable to use the
humble cotton napkin. It is cooler
and comfortable.
6. You save the environment!!!
7. You save money for the next baby!!!

hi Freda,

thank you soooo much!! c u then..

Hi Freda,
Im now in 37 weeks and as last week my bb not engage yet..my dr is talking about operation as an option..however, im thinking to get a 2nd opinion..is it possible to get different dr for labour?

Masoore,
To relieve the swelling:

1. Cut down on sodium intake
2. Elevate your legs on a pillow when
lying down x 15 minutes
3. Get your husband’s help to massage
from the sole of your feet using his
knuckle. Then massage from the front
towards your thight using medicinal
oil to relieve the swelling on your
feet.

bb,
Nice meeting you and your hubby. I hope you have learnt something from me.Do presevere in whatever you do and you will find accomplishment at the end of it all.
Regards!1

Let’s hope that you get it right the next time. Just now I went to Jusco Klang to buy KIKO Breast milk feeding bottle ( the one with a spoon attached).
Luckily I managed to get 18 bottles for the mothers in my Antenatal class tomorrow as they find difficulty to get them. Maybe next year do not forget to but it, OK???

Freda,
Who is the dr who gave presentation on labour during atenatal class on 24/7..is she dr tan yeen inn??

I am just giving you this for you to try. You can use the breathing technique that I taught.Use which ever is comfortable to do.
• Common Lamaze Breathing Techniques Used During Childbirth
Benefits Utilizing Lamaze breathing techniques:
1. Controlled and rhythmic breathing relaxes tense muscles,
2. Reduces anxiety,
3, Manages pain,
4. Forces more blood into the blood
5. Offers distractions to women by giving something else to focus on besides the labor pains and
contractions

There a number of Lamaze breathing patterns.
Women are encouraged to use which ever methods work best for them during the different stages of labor.
The most commonly used ones are:
a) Cleansing breathing
b) Slow breathing
c) Blow breathing
d) Patterned breathing.
.
• Step 1: Cleansing Breathing
A cleansing breath is also sometimes referred to as the signal breath because it alerts your
birthing partner that a contraction is starting or ending.
Cleansing breathing is used at the beginning and end of each contraction
To practice this breathing technique, breathe in deeply through your nose and then slowly let out the breath audibly through your mouth.

• Step 2: Slow Breathing
Slow breathing is use to help with relaxation by deliberately slowing down the speed of breaths.
To try taking slow breaths, count to 3 or 4 while you breathe in through your nose. Then release the breathe same count again. Repeat the same technique for approximately one to two minutes.
• Step 3: Blowing Breathing
Blowing breaths are also used to aid in relaxing during early labor
Practice this method the same way as the slow breathing, except when you exhale you will blow out the air much like blowing out a candle.
To get the proper feel of this technique, hold out a sheet of paper in front of you and try to make it move on your exhale.
• Step 4: Patterned Breathing
Patterned breathing, which is the Lamaze breathing technique that uses the Hee-Hee-Hee-Hoo
style most often portrayed on television shows and movies, is used to work through contractions in active labor.
To practice this method, exhale quickly while making the Hee sound (2 to 4 times works best) and then blow out once creating the Hoo sound.
Inhale lightly between each exhale and try to maintain a steady rhythm.
Continue this breathing technique for about one to two minutes or until the contraction has passed.

tnx dear friend,
ur words mean a lot to me.

hi there….i heard that you thinking of doing a full medical check up. By the way i’m Lea working with the well known flagship hospital (Gleneagles Hospital KL) located in Jalan Ampang.The hospital actually now in the midst of expanding the 2nd Wing/New Block. Due to the pre launching we are offering majority to our ex-patient and current patient a full body check up (not limited to lab only) which offer 60% discount from other hospitals. But this is only limited to 700 pax! If you are interested we cordially invited you to our WORLD OF WELLNESS CENTRE for us to explain to you about the COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CHECK UP PACKAGE. We will explain to you also WHY LAB TEST IS NOT ACCURATE and SUFFICIENT FOR EARLY DETECTION. By you spending time to our office you also will get FREE BASIC 37 TESTS OF BLOOD AND URINE. NO OBLIGATION! Our intention is only to make you understand about what is a COMPREHENSIVE MEDICAL CHECK UP. Besides make you aware that PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!

My own sister passed away 2 years ago at the age of 30 due to KIDNEY/RENAL FAILURE. She was diagnose at the age of 26. Trust me she was so HEALTHY BACK THEN until one fine day she fainted in her office and the colleague brought her to nearby hospital. In the hospital doctor check her blood pressure and it shows very high(IT NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE). She was admitted for the doctor to do further check. The next day the result came out and the doctor told us that she’s having a chronic renal failure. It was the most shocking news in my life. Since then, Every alternate days she have to undergone DIALYSIS. She was also ask to leave by her employer due to her health. What is money if without GOOD HEALTH!
Please don’t take your life for granted. Go for your check annually. Call me for an appointment at this number 0123612968/0102212968 (LEA) or call 03-42571300 ext 7256 (Wylea)

Hi Freda, need ur advise.. i hv just delivered bb girl 2 mnths ago…n before start my work im fully breast feed my baby..but since im working last week..my bb refused & cried when i want to breast feed..her. is there any reason…why bb will act like that.

Hi,I want to know Hospital Pusrawi kota damansara is it open for all races?Any1 been there?Any good gynae to recomend?

Dear Freda,

i’m now 18 weeks preggy. So, can i go to antenatal class now or should i wait for a few weeks before i can attend that class??

Jela dear,
Sorry for the late reply, as Ihave not been feeling too well. I am diabetic and have been fasting continuously, inspite of the above, as I hate to break my own religious goal.
Regarding your question, the earlier you attend the antenatal, the more you can practise what is being taught. You will also be able to know when there is some abnormal sign and how to overcome them
I am going to break my fast now. See you later.

Dear Leben,
Sorry for the late reply, as I usually get so doppy after breaking my fast!!
2. You can start going for the antenatal class. As I said, if you go earlier, you can practise what is being taught.
3.Hypnobirthing
Hypno Hypnosis
Hypnobirthing is the use of hypnosis therapy in childbirth.
The movement started with the work of English obstetrician Grantly Dick-Read (1890–1959), and culminating in his book Childbirth without Fear,[1] first published in 1942. The work was further developed by Jacqueline Vincent Priya [2], Michelle Leclaire O’Neill[3] and later Marie Mongan[4] in America. References to the work of Michel Odent also occur in Hypnobirthing material.
The use of hypnobirthing has become widely known among women and in obstetric units as an increasingly popular means of achieving a natural childbirth.

Dear, I am in the process of preparing notes for future reference. Maybe when I have completed , I will forward to you. Hope the above information will help your curiousity.
4. Do read on Lamaze technique which I wrote above.

Take note: admendments:
so feel free to come to KPJ Selangor Specalist Hospital, Shah Alam and see me. I am 4th floor,Education Services.

They would even remind me of things that I sometimes forget because they are used to certain rule and routines by then.

Internet marketing has got many advantages linked with it. Along with the assistance of web marketing we could certainly capture several clientele at one destination at once .. In comparison with conventional marketing,internet marketing needs pretty less expense. Of course in reduced price as vendor could acquire a lot more gain,instantly it’s going to become more popular form of marketing and advertising.Covered in this are other strengths like Online marketing is really user friendly.By a mouse click client may very well get what they want. Subsequent gain on the list will likely be that it offers opportunity to internet marketers to be resourceful along with their advert. They might include all type of music, visual features to their advert. Hence it gets to be more desirable than a simple paper ad and plus grabs even more attention.

Here is their routine: 1. Clean up when they get up 2. Breakfast after cleaning up 3. Change of cloths… Well, think again!! Many of you might have known by now, this is where we start losing our children.

i do not go along with most of you, you morons..
.something youre conversing of is firearm price tag ranges..
..use your mental faculties quit acting like little ones. its truly gloomy so see how idiotic so pretty a handful of adult men and ladies are..

Hi all, wanna to know any good doctor/ hospital for delivery in kajang area? Im looking for good doctor, clinic and hospital since i just moved to kajang recently.

LooE,
Try KPJ kajang specialist hospital. I went there for a meeting. Looks convincing with all the modern surrounding. Just visit there and inquire or try the web site.

The French think their governement raise threat levels in order to prevent them from marching and striking. It is quite funny to notice that people believe the US governement is to be blamed for making up terrorist threats in Europe. What’s the point ? It is not like the US were targeted as well!

Mama Yoyo,
My Antenatal Course is fully booked till December.The next will be 22nd Jan 2011.If your due date is late February, Then you will still be in time BUT you have to book early as my courses get filled up very fast.
I will be on a long leave fro mid DEC 2010 till Mid – Jan 2011 ( If Allah’s Wills it)as I will be……….during that time. I have kept my leave for this and everything will be blessed.

hi,would like to share my experience wt gov. hospital.. my first one deliver in Seremban GH year 2004..i dun hv red card as my monthly check-up with private.. they accept eventhough i don hv the red card.. hubby were allowed to be in during the labour process, in labour room patients were separated by partition only.. u can hear the others screaming, chatting here n there while ur combating wt ur own pain..

2nd year 2008 in teluk intan gov, hospital.. the same goes.. worse was there’s a lot of trainee doc.. i remember bout 4-5 person at different time come to ask bout the same question while im in pain.. feel like kick them of..

Thanks Freda but my due date is end of Jan 2011.
To all mummy, anyone been to Selayang Hospital before? I would like to hear your experiences.
Thank you very much.

Mansoor and WSL.
How are you keeping on with your babies??
Are you still breastfeeding??
What about baby massage??
This is a nice time to do baby massage.
Happy bonding with your babies!!!

hi Freda,

how r u? still remember me? time flies.. my baby is already 7 mths. she is pretty good. eat well and play well. the other thing that i really concern is my baby doesnt like to drink milk since we start her solid food at about 4 months. now what i do is i add her milk into her sold food. is this recommended?? she seems ok when we do that. she drinks a lot of water, but she tries to push away her milk everytime when i feed her. any suggestion?

bb,
Yes I remember you. Nice to hear from you. I came back from work at 9PM
( after more than 12 Hrs of work , non-stop!!!). Fell asleep infront of the TV and just got up at 1AM!
Yes bb, this is the interesting part of being a mom. You have to observe your baby and plan exciting time with them.
Regarding Milk: Once they learn to taste other kind of food, babies will push aside milk as they are fed up of the taste! So MOM, now is the time you vary the taste. So do tasty meals with the milk, such as egg pudding with the milk , egg custard or even soup
( western style). Later when the child is bigger, you can even make ice cream with the milk.

Syaz,
Do they allow your husband to be with you at the paying ward??
Normally govt. hosp. do not allow.
I have been away (Approx. 10 years)from the government hosp. senario.
Maybe you can share your exp. with MAMA YOYO.

Syaz,
Your experience will indeed assist MAMA YOYO .
It is good to hear that they allow your husband to be with you.
Was he allowed to be in the Labor Room???
In the private hospital, they allow husbands to keep their wife company.

Dear Sarah,
Low line placenta depends on how low.If it does not cover the cervix, then it may not be so dangerous.We called the above condition as Placenta previa. You can read further on this in the internet. Just type: PLACENTA PREVIA.

eg:What is placenta previa?
• Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta grows near or over your cervix (opening out of your uterus). The placenta is attached to the wall of the uterus. The normal site of the placenta is at the upper part of your uterus. If the placenta grows near your cervix, it may block the opening to the vagina. This may cause vaginal bleeding which could harm the mother and the unborn baby. However Placenta previa may also resolve on its own before your baby is ready to be born.

2. Regarding frequency of micturition
* It maybe due to irritation
But will relieve when baby grows
bigger
* If it is burning, then it might be
due to infection. Nothing wrong,
to confirm with the DR.
* Drink lesser water before going
to sleep, to prevent getting up
too often.
3. Exercise
Depends on the location. Seek your
Gynaecologist’s advice.
Rest is important if it is very low
lying.

Hi Freda.Tq very much for your info.I don’t feel lost now.Anyway,I will get my DR advise for my condition.TQ TQ TQ

Nice infos. Especially Freda. I can share this infos with my wife. We r expecting bb boy on March

Hi Freda,

I’m curious, do all government hospitals have an option for a first class service? I live in Sunway and I guess the nearest government hospital is PPUM, although I don’t think they have a private wing. :s

To me SMC service is bad because my 2 months pregnant wife had a very bad experience there. My wife took annual leave and went to SMC, Subang for a check up. She was given a queue number and waited to for 2+ hours. After 2+ hours; dr refuse to attend to her because she went without an appointment and dr do not want to have new patient that day. How does a new patient know if an appoitment is needed? Even then; They should have mentioned to the patient earlier and if the dr is so arrogant and does not want to have any new patient that day a queue number shall not be given by the nurse. End of the day; my wife have to come back without any checkup because the management just say sorry because they forgot that the dr did mention earlier to not admit any new patient on that day. This is not the patient fault; but rather if the dr is kind to know that my wife have been waiting in line for 2+ hours she would have take her in. Very sad with our dr nowadays that are so arrogant. I will never recommend SMC anymore.

but true, kesian ur wife. wait 2 hours, then still cannot see doctor for check-up. :s

hi, my date due is on 30th April 2011, i just want to survey the price of the private hospital. the government is cheap but i prefer private coz their service is good.what i’m afraid is, the equpiment at the hospital bcoz last year my friend had a baby at 1 of the Hospital Pakar Bersalin in Klang.After delivered,her baby got a breathing problem. So they sent the baby to the government hospital Tg Ampuan Rahimah Klang immediately coz that hospital bersalin dont have enough equipment to help the baby & died while on the way to the hospital.So sad to hear that. how come the private hospital pakar bersalin dont have enough equipment for this? i’m really confused.better check first the good & bad of the hosoital before u go..

Hi Petty,
There are many reasons to the aboveincident. No medical Personel would want a baby or any patient to die. We would feel affected as well.
I too lost my 2nd and last child ( as I cannot conceive after that!!!). I grieved for many many years. That is the normal process as we do not have the facilities to detect the abnormalities before. Now we have them in the hospital, so if abnormalities are present, Dr will advise to terminate the pregnancy early. This was what happened to me, as I was not aware that I was exposed to German Measles. Thus my baby had gross abnormalities. My poor baby suffered X 3 days before she passed off. It is very traumatic BUT well that is the very very unfortunate incident in my life as a mom. The DRS were very sad for me but that would not bring her back as it is better that way rather than prolonging her life both ( my baby and I) will suffer tremendously emotionally etc.
So Petty, do not feel afriad just because of your friends case.
For a government hospital, Klang Hosp.TAR has got a good facility for preterm babies as well as expertise but IF YOU ARE PATIENT enough to `Q up’ during check ups.
So cheer up, I cannot blame you for being anxious!!! Again that is normal.
Regards.

owh i just noticed loads of positive comments about assunta on this discussion board. yayness!

Khuza,

The hosp. that I am working in is KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital,Shah Alam. If you deliver here, My office is just opposite the Labour Room, so If I am around I can just pop in to check on you.
This is a private hospital.

khuzama,

Do confirm what the charges are in UM. If your husband is a student there , maybe you may get some concession.If it is government hospital rate , then I would advice you to go there, Otherwise go to Ampang Government Hospital( It would be cheaper here).

Khuza,
Why not try Hospital Bersalin, Kuala Lumpur. I delivered my daughter there.

hi..freda,
need ur advice…how to get the quality breast milk for baby… coz I did bring my bb to see homeopathy doc & inform that the bb hv not enough calsium…coz got simpton like the head is always sweating. Is it true? Then, help to advise how to get the quality milk & my baby now is 6 mnths ++.. Thanks.

MOM Faiz,
1. Are you fully breastfeeding??
2. Is your baby able to suck well??
3. Foods that encourage milk production are for example:
* Jantung Pisang
* Chinese lobak
* Drum stick
* Khuchai
* Ikan Yu
* Halba
* chinese dates
4. Breastfeed baby on demand-meaning feed baby when baby wants it. Feed him/her fully.
5. Breastfeed baby for the minimum of 6month or till 2 yrs and beyond.
BUT please do not forget after 6 month you must start to introduce other food but give the breastfeed first.
Strain the food first( rotate the various flavors). Later introduce mashed food.

Hai Freda.. yes I do still breastfeed my daughter.We only use the bottle when she’s at the babysitter. At home I give her milk directly so that I can cuddle and pamper her since I have to work 8-5 and can’t be with her during that time. At the moment I’m using Medela Mini Electric Breast Pump. Will consider your suggestion on the Spectra Breast Pump. Thanks..

Hi freda,

Im not fully breast feed my bb..during office work given her powder milk..only nite time gave her breast milk. Hmm maybe my bb not suck well.. However, thanks a lot for your advise. Will try eat more food that which can stimulate the milk.

Hai,
1. Drumstick is the long `kacang/bean’ that the Indian cook curry with. Try asking your Indian friends. Malays call it kacang Murugai, get it!!
2.You breast feed your baby on demand. Meaning breastfeed your baby any time he/she wants. Finish one breast till the baby shows sign of releasing it. Then you burp the baby. If the baby wants some more offer the next breast.
3. Milk bottle ?? try the KIKO milk bottle with a spoon attachment. JUSCO sells them ( RM6.90)

Tria,

Go to `Sungai Buloh government hospital’ and you will find all the articles on it.

Curt Mendrin,
You are most welcome to join in the forum.
I too got to the blog by chance after my Masters Finals. I have not stopped since then as I can help mothers in need of advice regarding their Pregnancy, breastfeeding and encouragement.

Sarah,
Do not panic. The various hospitals are friendly competitors among themselves. It does not mean that every hospital have everything thus if there are special cases they will refer to the hospital that have the specialties or equipment.
Certain cases , such as very premature babies are sent to TAR hospital in Klang.That does not mean that the hospital is not good.
If one lack confidence, Just go `shopping ‘ to the hospital you feel is good for you ( as the likes and dislikes differ from one to another).
Regards.
