Review of experience at Adventist Hospital

OK, I wanted to share my personal experience and opinion of delivering at Adventist Hospital for the benefit of those who are 'surveying' :)

Overall, it was a very positive experience.

1. Dr Low CS is very patient, gentle and NICE.

2. I experienced 5 midwives during labor and all of them are very professional and experienced. There was one slightly cho lor. They were very encouraging and literally cheered me on to the finish line ie. during the final stage of labor-pushing.

3. Baby was placed on my belly immediately by doctor after she was delivered... I got to see her right out from the womb. She was then wrapped up, placed under the lights, mucus cleaned and then given to me to hold and nurse in the labor room while doctor was working on my stiches. There's nothing like seeing baby looking at me and getting to nurse her immediately.

4. All the nurses during the post-partum stay were very friendly and helpful. Maybe due to lack of patients... they all knew me by name.

5. A little about the lactation consultant service I recieved from this 'baby-friendly' hospital - in one word: very satisfactory :) Pai Lin is the name. I went to see her for advice after discharged on the 6th day. She was very helpful and friendly, I spent 3 hours with her while she showed me how to express and also gave many advice. She also took effort to return my call on her personal cell phone after office hours. Few days later, she was still SMS me to find out how I was.

6. Just a note on the food they serve - it is not traditional confinement food. I was given oranges and bananas... not to mention lots of vegetables as the menu is purely vegetarian.

Total bill was RM2.6k+ versus the package rate of RM2288. Additional charges were for labor augmentation, additional fetal/contraction monitoring, 3 dosages of antibiotics for GroupB strep, and also the pharmacy medicines.

Verdict - recommended :D
