did he tells you what to do and donts? or the doctor only answer when you ask?

To my knowledge..doc would advise dos and don't when there's problem (ie spotting, cramps). if it looks normal and you never complained anything..then they don't say much unless you have questions.

In fact, there's not much dos and don't in the medical sense (if pregnancy is ok)..it's only our cultural beliefs that has the dos and don't

I believe in seeing a doctor that you are most comfortable with. Identify where you want to deliver..and see if you are comfortable with the doctor there.

Of coz budget also plays a part too..but if you are ok with any cost..then your only problem would be finding the right doctor.

when i went for first time check up with Dr Guna (Damansara specialist hospital), i was 2-3 weeks pregnant. Cannot see the sac yet.

He told me to wait for another month for check up. Don't talk about those can do or cannot do first. Confirm whether its pregnancy first and pray hard baby is ok. cuz first 12 weeks is very unstable. Take my folic acid.

while my GP advise, don't simply eat medicine. Best if don't take any medicine to prevent harming the baby.

One of the reason being an Ob/gyn is unpopular lately is the risk of lawsuits smile.gif And talking will make you sit longer in their office, hence longer waiting time for other patients?

And I think different cultures have different rituals / beliefs etc .. some may not want to argue / discuss on those with you.. when I try to bring up that subject, my ob/gyn personally said "in modern medicine, there are a lot of things that we dont know... "

I remember last time check up my wife at pusrawi kl, DEMC shah alam, for the 1st appointment checking a bit expensive, rm200-350 next

appointment much cheaper around 100-150. Usually the cost will be high if u scan every check up, the most expensive DEMC shah alam cost me

about rm350 for check up+medicine+consultation+3d scan. Pusrawi KL much cheaper i think RM150.

Hi, would like to know what is the normal charges to see a gynae doctor? I went to tawakal hospital, the gynae doctor gives some medicine, do some scanning of my baby(1st baby, 6 weeks ++ )
and the charges as below:

medicine: rm35
consultation: rm 80
procedure: rm 150

Anyone know what is the "procedure" refers to? I dont really realize this untill i check the breakdown details at home, so not able to ask the person.

Total: rm 265, is this too expensive? The service is so so, the doctor dint talk much, and we already told him this is out first baby, but, he also dint advise what we should dos and donts. A bit disappointed of the service provided with rm265

Any recommandation of good mandarin speaking gynae doctor in KL area?

I am currently 7 months pregnant and I've visited Dr Foong from Tawakal Hospital since 4th week of my pregnancy. My first visit costs about the same. The subsequent visit is RM120 for consultation & procedure. The medicine is RM10 (for my pre-natal vitamin) and RM 5 or RM10 for the ultrascan picture.

For first visit, the medicine is RM35 because it's folic acid. During the first visit, the doctor has to check when's your due date n etc....normally, Dr Foong doesn't advice much but he always ask whether u have any question to ask.

Common question that I ask:
1. Is there anything I should not eat?
2. How much is the delivery (Normal/caesarian)?
3. Under what circumstances should I deliver under caesarian?

As you are approaching the 3rd month, he will advice to go for a 1st trimester blood test which cost about RM150-200 (i forgotten) to check for down syndrome. He will say that this test is 85% accurate.

For me, I've been visiting Dr Foong since 10 years ago because I have recurrent ovarian dermoid cyst which operated by him 3 times. He has an excellent surgeon skill and I do not feel any fear and feel very comfortable under his care. So, since this is my first baby, I prefer to go back to him.

mine i think (2 years back) was RM50 per visit.. first visit more expensive like RM100

for your RM200+ is it because your doctor use very canggih equipments? my friends visits also costs as much cause everytime her doctor uses a 3d (or 4D i can't remeber) scan instead of jsut ultrasound... .so at the end of her pregnancy she can already see her baby features

if you asks questions sure your doctor will explain.. if you don't ask then they don't talk lor.. it's normal. so before every visit prepares the questions you want to ask first smile.gif

biar betul! you've been had..

consultation should only cost about rm10 to rm20.
scanning should only cost about rm40 to rm50 i suppose, even a 3D scan would only cost rm90 at certain places, and no right-minded doctor would do a 3D scan at 6 weeks..

but the worse is the procedure charge, what procedure did he perform exactly??? that's the biggest rip-off..

you're better off going to reputable private clinics for check-ups at this stage, only go to the hospital (where you plan to deliver) at 20++ weeks for what we call a booking visit..

oo ok i misread, so he is actually charging rm150 for the scan (which is still way too expensive).. rm80 for consultation is definitely expensive, only the medicine charge looks reasonable to me..

Serious ka 3D scan can get for 90ringgit ?
Last month went to Tmn Tun clinic for wife's 3D scan. Kena RM380 !! Bloody ripped off. Doctor give CD as well. Well the doc said those who went for 3D went home dissapointed. Maybe got dissapointed with the price lar. But when see the baby's face, forget abt the money hilang. wink.gif

Anyway, whr can I find the RM90 3D scan in KL?

I went to the klinik ibu & kanak from early pregnancy chk up till i gave birth at private hospital and didnt even need to pay a single sen. Every visit like the private clinic chkup i did urine test, bb heart beat, ultra sound 3 times using the most standard machine measuring bb hand, feet, neck etc to determine the bb if down syndrome without printout of cos additional chk would be blood test for oksigen contain in our blood, high blood pressure, sugar level, 2 jabs of kancing gigi, also given medicine like folic acid, Bcomplex, acsorbic acid, iron. The nurses there are very friendly and every visit is by appointmt so i only need to wait about 1 to 1.5hr. When i almost due the chk up bcome even closer. The nurse even asked me to count my bb movemt and note down in the book. If i dont she will scold me cos it is for my own good. Thru out my whole pregnancy beside the delivery chg i only pay for the 3D scan which i did it in Columbia asia seremban where i planned to give birth at only RM90. After i hv given birth my gynae downloaded all the 3D images into a CD for me. My bb came out very healthy. Thanks to the nurses & doctors in klinik ibu & kanak kanak at segambut. I have also registered my bb for the immunisation jabs at KIKK. .Again is FOC. Next month my bb will be receiving her 3rd jab. Waiting hour is even shorter about half an hour only.
