For the first point, is it true? Because we called twice to confirm and both operator told us the same thing - which is 12th week and above. I suppose this could be their SOP because within the first 12 weeks miscarriage is common so they wanna reduce the risks.

Thanks for the info

Hi,

Thanks for the helpful info. May i know if i can just make an appointment via UMSC’s website itself? Or do I need to make a phone call to make an appointment? Or do I need to walk in to register? I am planning to deliver there and have been going for check ups at another private hospital.

Thanks.

Could be. I thought the post was about UMSC.

if just normal check up but not going to deliver at PPUM... still need to pay rm500 deposit first?

Would like to confirm that once the first appointment is made, subsequently all the necessary check ups and delivery can be done in PPUM right (just wondering if there is any things that can't be done in PPUM)? Thank you:)

I plan to deliver at PPUM soon. However, PPUM is now supporting Covid19 cases. Do you think it is still safe to deliver at PPUM? Any opinion?

Dear all, I'm also wondering couple of things, would appreciate if you could share your experience:

1. I was told that the ones who receive your baby in the cases without complications are Medical Officers, not the higher ranking and more experienced professors, even if you do checkups with one during last months of pregnancy. Supposedly they only step in when there are any complications. How has your experience been with MOs?

2. I was also told they give you hospital robes and you are not allowed to wear your own clothes instead, is that true?  Supposedly you can only wear something underneath, like warm pants and cardigan (bc allegedly it's quite cold in the wards), but you can't opt to just wear your own stuff.

3. Are husbands now allowed to be with the wife during the delivery? I forgot to ask the doctor last time. I'm ok if they are not allowed to stay overnight - I'd rather my husband goes home and sleeps/rests, but he wants to be present during the delivery.

4. Are phones still not allowed in wards?? That's preposterous 

-------------------

Oh, and btw, for those whom this info could be useful, Malaysian deposit is not RM500 anymore, it's RM1000, and for foreigners, it's RM5000. I have also a standard service price list somewhere if interested, latest information received on 3 June 2020.

hi all, I have a question, after delivery in PPUM, during the stay, will the nurse help to take care the baby? read some blog mentioned mom will need to take care the baby alone and having some concern since dad cannot stay overnight.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your information.

My wife and I are expecting our first baby. We are so lost before looking at this thread.

Wonder if anyone can answer us:

1) If we successfully make booking with PPUM, do we still need to go back to KKIA for follow ups?

2) If so, why would you recommend that? (as it seems repetitive to go for check ups in the 2 places?)

3) Will you suggest buying pregnancy insurance? Will it cover caesarean / epidural costs for private hospitals?
