I did my 34 weeks check up at Columbia Asia Hospital yesterday with Dr. Ng Soon Pheng. The hospital was located at Bandar Puteri, Puchong. It's a quite new hospital. It looks clean and nice overall although it's compound is not very big.
I had made the appointment in advanced, so by the time i reached just need to register and do some common checking like urine test & weight checking then it's my turn. The doc looks quite young, around 30+ or 40. He is the only doc who asked more questions on my previous still birth case (so far went for 3 gynae for this pregnancy). After understand my previous records and health details, then he did the scan of my baby.
The ultrasound machine is a 4D scanning machine. I'm not sure what's the FOUR D, but I managed to see my baby's face. She (well, we actually forgot to ask the gender again) looks so much like my hubby, with a big nose and the lips also like him. The scanning was quite long, due to my little one keep moving around and doc unable to do some measurements. According to doc, everything is fine. Here's my little one's first photo, all of us agreed that she is ugly... hahaha
After the scanning, Dr. Ng said due to my previous history he will automatically put me into high risk pregnancy. He mentioned 3 things that I need to do and consider. 1st, I need to count the baby's movement every morning from 9am. It must at least has 10 movements before 6pm, or else I have to go to hospital. 2nd, he will put me in baby monitoring on the next visit to monitor baby's heart beats. 3rd, he wants be to consider whether to have natural birth or C-section.
Well, I never wanted and never think about having C-Section. So was quite shock by his suggestion. I keep asking the reasons that I need to go for C-Section. According to doc, C-Section is the safest way to deliver a healthy baby. Wherease during natural birth, many things can happen to the baby including oxigen cut off. So due to my history, he suggested me to go for a C-Section.
After leaving the hospital, me and darling keep discussing bout the birth methods. Darling was not really satisfied with the doc that keep promoting on Ceasarean. Overall the hospital, nurses and doc are nice to us, polite and caring. The only concern of my hubby was the doc keep promoting Ceasarean. For the delivery fees, normal delivery will be around RM2700 - RM3000, C-Section will be around RM4700-5000. Compare with Sunway Medical Center, normal delivery will be around RM3000-4000, C-Section will be around RM5500-6500. For normal delivery, not really much different, but for Ceasarean that's the dif.
Discuss and discuss, I decided to have natural birth still. I really have no intention to go for C-Section at all. And I believe as long as I have the strong will to give birth in natural, then I can do it. For the hospital choice, most probably will be going to Columbia Asia. It's so much nearer and even accidentally I have to go for Ceasearean also not so expensive.
So my next check up will be in 2 weeks later. Hopefully everything will go smooth.
