My wife is pregnant

And it is our first time, where to register buku pink if living in KL area (Datuk Keramat) ?

Nearest I found is at Cheras for KK Ibu & Anak, or can I go KK biasa nearby?

Congratulation bro !

Congratulations. you need to call to the KK and check which if your living area is covered by them. or else, ask them to advise you which kk you should visit.

Bro u shud be happy only after first trimester and please please please dont skimp and do nicc test please. This is important to ensiure baby is developing well

And dont tell anyone else until first trimester atleast is over

Ok, will do. calling up now

Congrats... but you have to work out your right hand for the next 10months I guess...

Whether you are going to have your baby deliver in private/government hospital, you still can enjoy the full vaccinations offered by KK...

Call the KK and ask.

They are very very helpful with regards to pregnancies.

call the nearest KK, they will advise u

dunno about ur KK.. but the KK i went to is so helpful and concerned about my twins until abit scary

call up every month to follow up although i told them i going private liao.. lol

Try to call KK KL for few times, the general line keep sambung my call to Ibu & Anak section but no one pickup.

Nearest is here already, one question thou. Can I walk-in without make appointment?

Btw, Im planning to deliver in private. But still it is best to have buku pink first I think, correct?

Yes u still need those buku pink for vaccination purpose later on.

And mana tau (touch wood) if got complication then usually private might push u to General Hospital also.

Can walk in.

Yes, get the pink book even though you intend to deliver at private in case of emergency. Private healthcare will usually accept their regular patient only, they will not accept any patient that do not follow-up with them even at other branch( increase risk ).

Why in case of emergency ? These were the 2 scenarios I used to hear when the pink book allows you to be admitted to any public healthcare facilities :-

a) complication beyond what the private healthcare can handle - under such scenario, the private healthcare will divert you the the public hospital.

b) when the mother need to go into emergency labor & the private healthcare location is far away, you need to admit the mother to the nearby public healthcare.

Thanks for the tip, already apply leave and will go there tomorrow.

Congratulations!My ask branch is oso cheras jalan yacoob latif. The nurses are super nice. I very kiamsap one, visited both private and government doctors.for my checkups.

Open the pink book even though u are ntending to deliver at private. Who knows what happens, if something critical(choi), they will send u to give rment hospital. That's when u need the pink book, like a passport. If dont have pink book u have to wait long long...

Is the pink book provided by government's Klinik Kesihatan only? How about antenatal checkup at private healthcare like Columbia?

KK only, private one will give you a their own one.

i have both.. private one and KK one.. my vaccination record is on the private one becoz i took alot of optional shots..

schools will accept either one..

Thanks for the replies, so to be safe is to go to KK for check up and to get the pink book, then if any complication during labor we can go to government hospital and it's beneficial to have the pink book right?

I worry that the waiting time at KK is very long, but I want to keep the pink book as a record. Anyone has any experience in Putrajaya KK?
