Yes is FPP. Not sure about Serdang but Putrajaya is very good. The facility and the doctors are excellent. I especially have to say that their nurse is extremely helpful

hi.. i need more info on the FPP scheme .. is it even possible to go to Hospital Putrajaya to register? or you will need to drop by first at any Klinik Kesihatan to get the pink card. Please advise..

Need the pink card first then go to register for FPP. When you register for pink card you must tell them you want to go to putrajaya for delivery. They will give you a letter to register at putrajaya. You can go to the website to get more details

Hi Sonerin, thanks for the reply.. but what I am getting from the blogs and all is that I do not need a pink card if under the fpp scheme. . Just need to get an appointment with them amd they will register me in.. for those not going under the fpp scheme only need to go for pink card..

Please advise anyone who has gone thru the fpp scheme without going to a government clinic first..

Thanks

The FPP I got through need the pink card

How come you guys got it so cheap at tung shin and even assunta? My first one cost three thousand for one night stay. Natural delivery with no epidural whatsoever. . That was in 2010.
This year went to tung shin hoping to get lower than that. Still stayed at three thousand cost. Both one night stay. Actually the second one could have left that dawn as I was so fresh and alert. Doctor came to visit in his morning walk costing some four hundred. Must be because my other half is a kwai loh.

I've been to assunta and tung shin. Assunta delivery team (not the doctor as I m totally natural with no epidural or induction) was great. Couldn't have it better tellin one to push and not wasting energy to scream. Which is important as one can just get lost in pain. The equipment was great too. Everything is efficient. laughing gas actually works. Delivery room is big with a couch for husband to rest while waiting. Important esp if it's your first as it took longer.
Tung shin equipment and nurses fell short. Laughing gas wasn't working. Only after third time when I asked for pethidine that the nurse released more gas. For first time r who didn't know what laughing gas like would be tough. Having to bear through the pain. Delivery room is so small. No chair for husband to sit. Almost like a bathroom size.
Also nurses and procedure are laughable. Food at tung shin is great exceed pantai or assunta.
As regards breast feeding I breast feed but I don't think it's that crucial if the first or second night one didn't breast feed.

Breast feeding need to be started ASAP. It would promotes bonding among the baby and the mother. In addition, it contains all the good stuff esp those early milk .. U dont want that to be wasted XD

would the early milk colostrum be lost if one doesn't breast feed the first couple of days? I don't think it drips out. in fact the doctor told me the first couple of days no milk, baby sucking to stimulate breast.
of course it's great to breast feed, but not if one just had cesarean. my boy would be starving if relying on my breast milk the first month. it's only the second third month that my supply starts to be adequate. breast feeding is convenient relative to preparing milk every couple of hours. but rest is more important the first month.

I think its better to consult those maternity nurses for better advice. As far as I know, yes.. rest is important.. However, breast feeding is equally important. U need to stimulate sucking and the mother's mind to have a positive thinking that she would be able to provide sufficient milk for the baby. My friend who just had her first born have plenty supply by day 3. I know its tiring for the mothers out there. its a beautiful thing..

I had twins girl and my wife breast feed since day until 1.5 years old. Totally no milk powder.

anyone been delivered at Pantai Cheras? Would like to know the price wise there and is their service good? heard that the services seems to drop d...

Did you get epidural? Wondering whats the difference getting it and not...we will still be in pain anyway right?

delivery was by C-sec. Epidural was given after to reduce pain from the c-sec. It helps a lot

Natural - 3k ~ 4k

C - 8k ~ 9k

Hi. Anyone can share experience and quote prices for normal and c-sect at TMC and kelana jaya medical center please?

Also, any reviews about Dr. Loh Khee Fei?

Appreciate it. Thanks!

kelana Jaya C-sect i think about 6-7k if not wrong. Dr.Loh Khee Fei is a very good doc.. he saved my sis's life and baby when they had emergency c-sect and was even at the hospital before them ready with a wheelchair at 6am. very professional although he doesn't speak much.

My sis 2 baby boy were delivered by Dr Loh via c-sect. He is experience but lack of communication as he seldom talk.

He has been my OB and I am due in about 7 weeks. I've told him I want a normal delivery but I have never found anyone who a Normal delivery with him. Everyone has gone through c-sect. The way things are going, it's pointing to me being a candidate for normal delivery, I hope that it will go that way. Yeah, he doesn't talk much unless you ask him or when he talks, it's quite fast. He's only attending at either TMC or kelana jaya med ctre so it'll be too late for me to change doctors or hosp preference at the moment. I'm just making sure that everything will be okay. This is my first time and it's quite stressful just thinking of the upcoming delivery with all the procedures and the budget.

I hope he will not advise me a c-sect. I do think I can push. I really want to deliver via NSD. I know it depends on the situation by then but I hope he'd not be too hasty and decide a c-sect immediately
