My wife did it at Tropicana Medical Centre via C Sec - Single room, 3D2N.

Total charges for mommy n baby: RM 8,500 with a lot of free gifts.

Anybody planning for Hopsital Putrajaya under FPP, bad news. .. they are fully booked till April...

May i know the gynae doctor name? My wife have make appoinmnt on coming 18 Jan at TMC.

Im expecting twins this June.

Anyone have experienced with KPJ Tawakal?
How much roughly for c-sect?

Monthly checkup with Dr Jaafar, suggested by my cousins

Congrats. I will suggest you to prepare for the large cost as twins is very costly in private hospital. Easily more than 10k. I had twins girl and I can tell you there is a lot of different risk. My suggestion is to also go to government hospital as a backup plan. Also depend on what is the pregnancy condition. If suspect going to have pre-mature delivery, don't even try private hospital unless you have deep pocket. Next thing to consider is, if your baby got jaundice after being born. Those UV therapy will cost a bomb again.

Dr Surinder Singh. He is very good overall.

But......be prepare to wait an average of 2-3hours to have his consultation.

Sounds reasonable.

Anyone got the price list of Pantai Bangsar. Wifey gonna follow up with Dr Raman frm FMGC and labor will be at Pantai Bangsar. Thanks

If I'm not mistaken Normal - RM8,000
Ceaser - RM10,000 according to my cousin who delivered last year

Thanks 3 days 2 nights?

Hi, I just found out I got pregnant too. Im planning to go SDMC DesA Park City. Have you brought yr wife there? Which gynae?

Since you are asking then only i share our experience. My wife just deliver our son last week at Pantai KL (or Bangsar). It was totally a nightmare, my wife was admitted to Pantai on 31st Dec for induction as we wanted to have a new year baby. But she was discharged on the 4th day after 3 times of tablet insertion to soften her cervix + 2 times of membrane sweep. Do note, after induction, you started to feel contraction and it is also very painful when Dr perform the membrane sweep. This was our first disappointment as this is the first time we heard induce and baby is not coming out. My wife started to feel real contraction on 2nd day after she discharged from pantai and her water broke on the 3rd day after she discharged. I rushed her to hospital again feeling all excited because this time it was a real labor. The nurses told us we have 12 hours duration for the baby to come out even the water bag rapture. But we waited for 3 hours then only the doc came to assess my wife. Then she told us we can wait for 24 hours. Some of the nurses are just not that experienced and the advice they gave u are not consistence. Some of them are nice but not all.

The real nightmare started after we waited for more than 24 hours and yet my wife still not dilated enough (about 9cm). In between, i did asked the Dr if we can do anything to expedite the dilation process but she said my wife is doing fine (somehow she managed to convince me or she left me with no choice). We just wait and wait. Finally I couldn't wait any longer and I insist the Dr to come immediately after my wife water bag burst for more than 24 hours. Finally the doc came and checked on my wife, still 9cm and she said need to wait for another 1 - 2 hours. Do note, during that time the baby already exposed to infection since the water already break for more than 24 hours. Then i asked the doc if we can immediately deliver the baby. She then started to push the cervix open (DAMN PAIN FOR MY WIFE) and i can see even more water rushing out and some of it are blood. During that time, there weren't any midwive beside the doctor until my wife shouted very loud as she was in pain, then one of the midwife rushed in and immediately she saw the doc started to deliver my baby then she put on the glove and assist the doc. After 1 and half hours my wife using all her strength to push, finally she is tired. Doc used the vacuum to suck my baby's head till the vacuum loosen by itself and my son's skin got peel off. She then started to use forceps but my wife already no more energy to push and doc suggest to go for C-sec.

Our baby boy was born finally but due to he was already exposed to risk of infections for more than 24 hours, he has to be given antibiotic for 3 days and his breathing is not stable and also his lung has water. He was admitted to NICU for 4 days.

Total damage? >RM20K.

Choose the right doctor, choose the right hospital! The money u paid can earn back, but the life u put ur faith on cannot earn back! For our case, we have chosen the wrong doctor, the wrong hospital ... We will never go back to that hospital anymore

I'm really sorry to hear this. Do you mind share or pm me which doctor is this? Thanks

Am curious
How much is TMC charged for monthly checkup?

For me its normal delivery without epidural and no vacuum/forceps. Only induced

Sorry to hear bout your case.

But what i heard from my Doc said. When the water bag rapture., the waiting period longest is 12hrs.

I & my wife waited in the labor room for 10hrs+ in before proceed to C-seg.

Normal checkup - Dr consultation, Ultrasound, etc cost, no medication: +-$180.

That's the figure i can recall. There r some cases the cost go up to 500-900 depending on the optional test/ scan that you want to do.

when we reached the hospital, all the midwife also said it's 12 hours. But our doc told us it's 24 hours. haihz ... I did not want to mention our doctor's name here because all these while, she has been a very caring, detailed, patience and soft spoken doctor. But if you guys wanted to know more, you can PM me. Since my complain is not targeting only the doc but the overall experience in pantai bangsar.

Thank you for the feedback.

That's pretty much the same as KPJ Damansara.

For medication/supplements, we can actually get the name & purchase from pharmarcy out there. You may get cheaper price (~10% difference)

I felt ur pain bro.

Hope ur son recover soon.
