My wife already gave birth.

Actually u see, i went to private for doctor A and Gov clinic for doctor B. So when everytime checkup, these 2 doctor will follow up on most of the things. So no worry bout that. And furthermore, when u did checkup in Gov clinic, ur child go for injection is free. If u go for private, what will be the additional cost to u? And, my sister in law advise me go to Gov clinic for injection better, because the substance is fresher compare to private due to higher turn over and they will keep on restock new inject.

Thats unfortunate to u. So far my place gov clinic still ok.

where is this KKIA?

Mine is good. Eventhough building is old, but service is good.

I live in KL, so KKIA in KL.

We go to both KKIA and private clinic in KL.

Wife gave birth in Kuantan, in a private hospital there, and confinement in Kuantan. Of coz we visit the doctor for follow up as well.

The thing is, the KKIA in KL knows the delivery will be in Kuantan, so they transfer everything to the KKIA nearby my in-laws house there.
Follow up post delivery there.
Baby also check there.
Come to house in Kuantan to check on the mother and baby.

Im quite satisfied.
During checkup, my baby detected jaundice at KKIA.
Advised to go to GH, but we went to private as well.

no issue, everything is smooth.

KKIA Sek 7 Shah Alam
The last time was the worst and made me decided not to go there anymore. I was at the height of my morning sickness so really a very bad experience for me to wait for hours on empty stomach. They couldn't find my pink book (their copy) and just put my book aside when I was actually scheduled for glucose test. I reminded the nurse at counter I am supposed to have the test, they just keep asking me to sit first. After finding my record, only they realized I have to do glucose test (even though I already told them and it's written inside my copy) but it's too late already.

i think if anyone reading here, perhaps they should go to KKIA first, and if they have a couple of bad experiences, then can follow up at private clinic.
It seems like depend on luck, some KKIA have good experience, some bad.

yeah, i guess it depends on the luck.

Yeah. During confinement, wife need hubby to accompany more oh...

For people who went to both private and KKIA, did you get to poke twice for blood at both places? The private had to do blood test too, because there's no official report in my pink book about my blood test results. Just a lot of scribbles so my gynae said the result is not clearly written. So ended up getting poke again.

poke twice.
depends, some results already in the pink book no need to do again.

my wife confinement with her parents and family in Kuantan, im in KL.

it is a decision she regret in a way.
because she needs me to be by her side.

i always go back kuantan on weekends and back in KL for work on Monday.
Like zombie already.

anyway, my wife said she is very stressed even when there are her family members there, taking care of the baby and herself there.
also have confinement lady.

i think its the hormonal that made the PPD in her. Luckily she tries to talk to me about it.
She said she cant really explain or understand what and why she is feeling like how she did.
Lucky also she can at least see me every weekend.

So, PPD is real, u heard about mother killing babies etc right.

Hubbies out there, do the best u can to ensure the mother is well taken care off as well.
just being there for them helps.
give them presents, or buy them things, tell them u are proud of her giving birth to the baby, thank them and say u love them.

This!!!! Aku suppork!!

Kkia nurses will appear at our house if we stop going to kkia??

The confinement lady of course will be hired to take care of her meals, take care the baby, etc etc. But husband is there to give moral support. The do and dont should everyone already known even before baby is born. Is quite basic actually. Thats y we heard alot new mummy got depression during confinement period.

After all discussion
i decided to go for private clinic
this Saturday we will go to megaklinik zahran at bangi to do "pink book"
All the expense i will update here regularly

Hi all,

Can I find out how does the procedure look like for someone who is looking to get the pink book ? My wife is pregnant & currently entering 2nd trimester and so far the consultations have been done at private hospital.

The thing is I'm Malaysian & my wife isn't - can any of you share what documents were asked during initial registration first time ?

Thanks in advance.

I went to private clinic for check ups on both of my pregnancies, and delivered both of them at government hospital. It is not a must to do your check up at gov clinic if you plan on giving birth at gov hospital. Just make sure you have all the records in hand from your visits at private clinics.

Does your children also get the injections from govt clinics? I only went there twice and not going anymore, but I wonder if my baby can get his injection there.

For my first kid, I went to private clinics for all the injections. And I planned to do the same for my second kid. It is more convenient since I can go at night without interrupting my daily work. But I cannot do so since there are certain dosage of immunization are no longer available to private clinics (at least to those that I paid visit to). So i ended up going to gov clinics for injections. Best check with clinics if they have those injections needed beforehand to be safe.

how much does it cost for injection at private & gov ?

Injection at private clinic less than RM100. Sorry i cannot recall exact figure.
Gov clinic = RM2 per visit

May I know do the KKIA still accept for 19 weeks pregnancy?
