First and foremost, congratulations!!

u must be very thrilled!

anyway, u plan to get the baby delivered with the same doctor?
if thats the case, please find a place thats easily accessible from ur location.

mother can give birth any time, so do keep in mind about traffic situation as well.

im not saying u should judge base only on accessibility in these terms only, but do keep this as one of the points when making a decision.

Because me and my partner, we went to both private and government, and because giving birth in Kuantan, we go to private there as well.
in total 3 clinics during pregnancy, but u only want to know about KV.

backstory, went to try and get appointments with many famous (and expensive) clinics. Some i get, some still need to wait. Because cant sabar (some need to wait for 3 months) i googled and found out about Dr Asokan from KPWC. Klinik Pakar Wanita Connaught.

Not that many people, convenient opening hours, and great doctor.
price also cheap.
nice photos of baby (compared to KKIA) and the doctor dont rush and really takes time to explain.

whats most important is both of us very comfortable with the doctor.
Dr Asokan delivers the baby at Pantai Cheras and Lourdes.

We dont deliver in KV, so i cant tell u the delivery experience with Dr Asok, but pregnancy checkups are good.

why dont u give dr asok a visit and find out more?

so u from Kepong?

Anyway, i was born 37 years ago in Sentosa Medical Center. They were not under KPJ yet then/
Sorry, but i cant remember much about my birth. lol

I bet it was OK, because after that both my younger brother and sister were also born at Sentosa.

what do u mean gov clinic? KKIA?

wah? i thought its not really according to empty slot for appointment but more to how far into pregnancy the mother is?

must be ur KKIA at a very dense/heavily populated area and most people go to this KKIA.

yeah KKIA is based on ur home address.

mine was a quick stop to the KKIA to get appointment. available next week, not in a month like urs.
KKIA tip when u already have appointment. dont care what time ur appointment is, just come at 7:30 or earlier, take ur number/pass the pink book and by 9 u can go back already.

we also went to see private doctor in kl.

coz wife delivered in hometown, when she stayed there like few weeks before EDD, KKIA in KL transferred her files to KKIA in hometown.

Also after delivery the KKIA at hometown will send nurses to come and look at mother n baby.

delivered in private hospital though.


so far both KKIA and Private is satisfactory. of coz have differences though.

owh, after delivery, need to inform them.
Also, need to bring baby for their Baby Book (something like the pink book).

the reason why they assign areas for different KKIAs is for the nurses to come over and visit.
KKIA nurse in Batu Caves wont go to PJ house.
Thats why they need ur address.

Also, back in KL, we follow up our baby in KKIA. Same, 7:30am there.
They are quite good actually, when my son kena HFMD and was hospitalised (private) the KKIA nurses called my wife to confirm, and special officers will call and investigate.
I guess its the law on contagious diseases, so the private hospital informed the KKM and KKM managed to get KKIA to call us.
Then again, it depends on ur area i guess.

The nurses at our KKIA is satisfactory, and outside of work bumped into them, they recognised my son.
Suddenly a lady mention my son's name and commented on how he look. Its the nurse at KKIA.
Much have been so many babies in KKIA but still remember my son by name. Hebat!

i think the nurses call us up nearing the due date and we informed them.

then after delivery they called again and we said already delivered.

no prob.

later update us with ur review of Dr Lam ya.

25 mins.

u were hoping to talk to doctor longer? 1 hour? 45 mins?

oic. i thought 25 minutes of consultation time as you mentioned "total time with Doctor is 25 minutes"
