Thanks!

hi, not yet delivery. D-day is on jan 2014. lol ... but pls be prepared if u r going to see dr idora. my wife just went to follow up this morning and we have waited for 3 hours but she is really a very patient and very detailed doctor. my wife asked her where is the baby's finger, she spent time and tried different angle just to let my wife see the baby's finger

hope to hear some review on hospital putrajaya FPP and which recommended O&G?

usually anything related to chemical i will think it's harmful to anyone not only for pregnant lady. Check ur house surrounding and see why ur house got a lot of mosquito? If not mistaken, there is one type of plant that can keep the mosquito away too.

First of all congratulation to you and ur wife. My colleague just delivered there and she is quite happy with their service. Btw, she done the water birth there with Dr. Idora. My wife is also following Dr Idora now and we are expecting our baby next Jan.

As for the charges, it really very much depending on what your wife and the baby going to use. For my colleague, her damage is about 5.6K (natural water birth without epidural).

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

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.

yea ... most important thing is my wife and my son is now safe ... thanks god.

Mommy and BB is now fine. Just sharing my exp so that those who considering their options now will be aware.

Some nurses really nice but i would said majority of it are just wearing mask and treat u nicely. Some of them only are really nice to you from their heart. I bought some gift for those that i felt is nice since my son was in ICU during that time and i can see them really taking efforts to jaga my son.

That's the thing, what i heard is also 12 hours but the doctors overwrites everything right? She said 24 hours. Then after my son was delivered, he was diagnosed with antibiotic because he was exposed to infections due to water break for more than 24 hours. I really want to shout Wat the F ...

It's too late and I was leave with no choice as I do not have any medical knowledge background. What had happened already happened, what I can do now is just pray for the blessing.

But do you mind to share with me what's the side effects that you may know of?
