Hi Lolie!

Congratulations! Just wanna share with you on my delivery experience - I delivered at UMSC.

I was there last July, delivered my baby boy, naturally and very fast also actually. I went to see Dr Siti at UMSC, and she's the calmest and nicest dr I've met so far. I followed up at a private clinic though, and got referred to Dr Siti as I was a little adamant bout natural birth for my first baby.

The day I went for my last checkup at Wk39, Dr found out I was 3cm dilated, so she admitted me right away, we had fun in the room. As UMSC is a private wing, there's only 3 delivery room. Very comfortable, and equivalent to private hospital (I was supposed to deliver in Pantai Bangsar, confirmed, saw the delivery room but chicken out due to the many stories, and my personal dr don't want to deliver for me). Nurses in UMSC are also very friendly and helpful. Experienced nurses too (old aunty nurses, young nurses, they probably see too many babies and deliver too many babies, lol). They are also breastfeeding friendly, which helps, as they will push the baby in for you in the middle of the night if he's hungry. If they think you need more rest, they will also make necessary arrangements.

It was a private room, in UMSC, mostly, it's all private room. My hubby stayed with me throughout the 2nights I was there. I didn't take any epidural, but had a episiotomy. Recovery was ok too!

My whole experience was very pleasant, if you'd like to find out more, do just pm me.

However, the cost is not cheap. Total cost of delivery was around 4.5k. My friend who had an emergency, so she went to UMMC instead, only spent RM800. Big difference in price, BUT, same treatment o! If I'd known, I would have went to UMMC. But I got no pink card, and I didn't have much time to wait in gov clinics for check ups. So that was my trade offs.

Hope this helps though! I was searching high low for information before delivery also, and thank goodness for mummies who share!

Have a happy pregnancy!

Hello! I'm now in my 21st week of pregnancy, due in early August!
In the begining, I had been going every month check up at KKIA and private (Dr. Aziz @ Gleneagles Ampang).

Since I will NOT be delivering in Gleneagles (cost and also a bad experience unrelated to baby there), I am now looking for alternative DR for my monthly check up to supplement KKIA. Reason is KKIA never did any scan for me for last 4 mths, and I didn't see any MO or Dr for the last 3 out of 4 visits.
Or, I was wondering if I should just decide NOW where I will deliver my bb, and follow up there with their Dr? Better right?

I made appt with UMMC (formerly UM Hospital) for 5th May to see Dr and pay booking. But now I am having cold feet to deliver there as I heard some scary stories on nurses.

Visited HUKM (the govt side seems like 20 bed cram in one small room, perhaps its waiting room and after delivery room.) But am not decided about delivering there neither.

Visited Hospital Ampang after being told some good story, but no booking of bed allowed and no Dr to do check up before your delivery. Just go with KKIA book when you think its time... I like the hospital BUT its too scary for me... if they are full they will simply transfer me to another GH.

Was asked to consider other options like private clinics that deliver babies instead of hospital.

I wonder if you could help give some advice or suggestions on :
1. Private clinics to deliver bb around KL (Ampang/Cheras)
2. Experience in UMSC, UKMSC, or UMMC, UKMMC or Hospital Ampang.
3. I am looking for hubby friendly hospital so he can stay over the night and help me. If possible I would love a hospital/clinic which allow me to choose delivery position, or before delivery does not confine me to bed. And not scalpel friendly as I do not want the episiotomy and epidural nor c-sect if possible. 
 
Thanks in advance for helping me to decide the delivery place and the Dr too...

Sunway Medical Centre
Total: RM6K++
- Labour to Delivery: within 5 hours+ (lucky this one short, they can’t by hourly rate. Forgot how much)
- Mode of delivery: normal
- Pain killer: Gas and Local Aesthetic (wife insisted she don’t want epidural, saving RM 1,500)
- Stay: 3D2N (RM 2750/night > Single Room)
- food: so-so
- Chair: I bet most husbands will be tempted to stay back with the wife, yes the chair can be converted into a makeshift bed. Not comfortable but sufficient.
- Labour Room: first class. (not sound proof though, can hear next door lady screaming her lungs out)

O&G Specialist : Dr. Wong Yat May
Paediatrician : Dr. Chye Joon Kin fired. Dr Koe Swee Lan fired (can’t claim medical cause not in my panel doctor). Current Dr. Khoo Phaik Choo

Comments :
- Overall Sunway is very efficient. Registration, Administration, Pharmacy and Consultation, it’s all a breeze.
- Dr. Wong Yat May doesn’t spend more than 15 minutes with us during consultation and follow-ups. I nicknamed her, the woman with a few words. She only visited my wife twice during delivery. One to check on the labour progress and next was to receive. So if you want it straight up and no BS, try Dr. Wong.
- Dr. Chye Joon Kin, Sunway in house Paediatrician. Very judgmental and can be sarcastic at times. 1 visit and never went back.
- Dr Koe Swee La, based in OUG. Very motherly like. Major problem with the amount of patients, advice is to go EARLY. Mothers who do not breast feed, be prepared for a lecture session. She’s a lactation consultant.
- Dr. Khoo Phaik Choo, Sime Darby Medical. A lot of patience also, not as extreme as Dr Koe but advice is go EARLY because Sime Darby registration and administration can be a pain. Also very motherly like, but less naggy than Dr Koe.
