Experience at Selayang

- Having paid for FPP, were you given the first class ward? (single bed room)
No, fully taken. Was given a 2 bed ward but the next bed was empty throughout the stay

- Did you go through labour and delivery in a private room or a shared room?
Labour hall is still the same as non-FPP. Just you get priority to better room and choose your doctor.

- Was the husband allowed to be with you throughout labour and delivery?
Yes unless c-sec is required

- Were you given an epidural? (I understand that delivering on weekends will mean no epidural).
Check with your doctor, they will tell you when is the last chance if epidural is not available 24/7. Yes they do have a working hour which you have to decide.

My wife was FPP at Selayang

Call to book now, they are very busy especially for Dr. Yu. We booked like 5 months before due date and they only start seeing you from 7th month onwards, once a month or once every 2 weeks when you are closer to due date. This means that you still have to do regular check up at local KK or private clinic.

First appointment can be FPP - cost 100+. Was advised to change to normal consultation (same doctor but long queue) as it is RM5 only. My advise is take late morning session as the queue seems to be shorter but sometimes if the doctors are needed for labouring then you need to wait longer.

Note that FPP at Selayang is all about luck. the specialist doctor for FPP (i think there are only two of them) does not work on weekends thus if you are labouring on weekend there is no FPP. My wife had induced labour (weekdays) and had to go for c-sec at 11PM, Dr Yu did stay back and operate and by the time they came out it is already 1am.

Total cost slightly more than 5k, main bulk of the price are due to induction & emergency c-sec. The c-sec alone contribute to half of the fee.

I understand Putrajaya has FPP doctors on duty 24/7 - read it here in lowyat in one of the thread.

Sg Buloh not too sure

I was considering Putrajaya as well but considering the distance to travel in event of emergency, stick with Selayang as it is nearby for us as well.

i reckon without traffic its 1 hour?

that is the thing, "without traffic".
