One of the reason being an Ob/gyn is unpopular lately is the risk of lawsuits 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... "

Heh

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.

lol i think is already cheap
my baby's 1st time sonor gynae sjmc doc.tan teck seng famous and well known for his stitches
cost me around rm300 ++ then after that rm 80 bucks including medicine and normal check up

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

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.

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

seriously, folic acid cost RM35? why not get it yourself at pharmacy, can buy about 700 tablets already

my wife went parallel, to privite and gorvernment.

Privite cost RM40 for month checkup and about RM150 for 3D scan

Gorv clinik for FREE drugs, and free vaccine after baby comes out.

Quite a good service for Gorn sector, they come your house to visit you and baby after birth giving...

ahhah just to update for the charges. I found that rm235 was damn cheap. I just went to Gleneagle hospital for second checkup, it cost me rm6xx
But this time, my wife and myself feel ok, eventhough it is X3 expensive than the previous one.

scanning cost RM30 in malacca

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.

Consultation Fees depends on which doctor you go to, mine charges me RM45, I know some other doctor charges up to RM80 for consultation

Admin Fees: RM5

Ultrasound Fees: RM60 (for normal scan through stomach), RM80 (for normal scan through the vagina). Dunno how much for 3D scan

Medication: 1 month Folic Acid and 1 month Fish Oil, RM67.40

Hi guys,

When do you usually go for your 1st check-up - to find out if you are pregnant or not? Do you go directly to Ob/Gyn or just to the normal GP doctors?

I'm 10 days late, my cycles varies frm 28-32 days the most. Home pregnancy result was negative on day 5.

I went to the gynae when I had a positive home pregnancy test.

You can test again on day 14. Sometimes it could be stress that causes your menses to be late.

If you did not have your menses by day 32, then I think you can go visit your gynae.

Btw, your 10 days late, is counted based on 28 days cycle or 32 days cycle? You should calculate based on your longest cycle.

I calculated based on 28 days cycle as that has been my cycle for 3 months straight now. By the way, my period just started about an hour ago .. guess we'll have to keep trying.

I could be late due to the fact that I've been fasting, could have made my hormones go haywire. Thanks blahnik.

Hi, i just pregnant for around 20 weeks++ , can i eat pineapple and watermelon as those are my favourites..

your doctor should guide you with your pregnancy, not just do scans...... maybe you should look for another better ob-gyn.

My wife is pregnant for 7 weeks now.

Still not sure which Hospital or Private Hospital to go for Check Up.

I heard from my friend First Time Check Up always abit expensive.

I'm living in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi.

Would appreciate any recommendation.
