They've started taking bookings again since CMCO kicked in, I managed to book mine on 12 May and already went for 1st appointment in June. In your case your wife is in 6th month already, high time to go and book.

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.
