This lady told me she had her baby at HUKM, the price was around the RM500 one. Not sure ... but she said that the NURSES delivered her baby and NOT the doctor.
When i heard that i was abit ummm.. speechless. Of course there are nurses out there who learn and know how to deliver a baby. But to me, i would prefer a qualified doctor to deliver my baby.
It's also best if the doctor delivering your baby is the gynae you have been seeing all the months during pregnancy, as he or she knows most about you/ your wife, baby and your/ wifes body.
Also steer clear or doc's who insist you go for c-sections. Unless you really need it, it's best u go for natural births. Some doc's just want the extra money, cuz well... c-sections cost more.
Who knows what could go wrong... i dont know, but i think spending a little extra money on the mother and babys safety is more important than saving and looking for cheaper alternatives.
Of course not everyone has the money to spend since delivering a baby is very expensive at most places. But who ever said that having a baby/ babies was cheap right...
Im not trying to put down or criticize anyone for going to non private hospitals, clinics or GH (cheapest i think) Im just saying, if u have the money, dont think twice, if money is a problem, then there isnt really much choice.
In the end... like i said, having a baby is not cheap, neither is raising a baby>>> child. So do be prepared for everything thats ahead.
beg to differ with some of the points here. My wife was giving birth in HUKM, yes, there was nurse who handled the normal birth for my wife but i believe she is qualified to do so. Not least, plenty of medical practitioners on the spots too. If you told me the nurse will handle the c-sec, then only i will starting to worry, not to say that there is doctor who were on the spot too to monitor the situations.

if you are looking gynae who eventually the only one to help you for the whole pregnancy process, then your only choice is private hospital or engage a private doctor. This is not the case for GH
as for cheap or expensive, does it mean expensive = safety, ponder on it. may be you might not aware that if some serious case happen in private hospital, they can still refuse your admission and ask you to go GH instead, why they do so? may be because they don't want to take the risk or their equipments are not to the par for serious case.
having said that, the doctor's in the private clinic who we visited for routine check up told us that his hospital won't accept emergency admission for pregnancy below 36 weeks, does it mean they only welcome healthy and trouble free maternal?
