Putrajaya hospital FPP baby delivery experience
I recently had baby delivery in Putrajaya Hospital FPP (full paying customer) program whereby it is government hospital, but by paying a reasonably cheap amount, you get to have baby delivered via specialist doctor of your choice in the hospital. In Putrajaya, there is only 3 doctor you can choose: Dr Hazim(head of dept), Dr Azim and a Malay lady doctor. I went on a Friday afternoon when they have a session for all who want to join this program to book your doctor and to be brief on the charges etc. I went to Friday session not knowing which doctor are avail for choosing nor which doctor I want. At the end, i chose Dr Hazim solely cos overhearing ppl attending the Friday session say Dr Azim like to propose Caesarean.
They did proposed caesarean due to my age(close to 40) and also cause not have baby for long time after married(maybe >2-3 years consider long for them?). Anyway I request to try vaginal birth due to I not have any health issue(gestational diabetes etc) but only my advancing age, and thank God bb come out 8hours after induced, which is really fast I think for first bb.
Total delivery fee for vaginal birthday(with vacuum) with 2 night stay, ie 1 day prior delivery and 1 day post delivery: 3k.
My bb did stayed in special care nursery (SCN) for 5 days after birth due to some issue and had to be administered 5 days antibiotics, and that is under government, not FPP, for only <RM100. The SCN is very well equip, clean and pleasant environment, they are many baby inside, maybe ~ 30+ visiting permit for either mother or father at a time at visiting hours(afternoon/dinner time).
Overall, my experience is not bad, one of the reason I go putrajaya for delivery is due to many good comments on FPP program, and don’t have to be “slaughtered” in private due to my age la… BLA BLA… 😀
The wait for room to stay on day prior to induction/labour is quite long and tiring, we went very early morning and can’t recall but I think 3/4pm only gotten a room. I bought a lot for eating from their canteen while waiting for them in hospital for their callback once room available, prob ate lots due to tired, suspect I gain 2 kg from eating that day lol… My weight on delivery day was 84kg, weight before pregnant was 64kg. Now 74kg with bb is 11 months. Still fat
They is a visiting hours. My hub stayed with me (after delivery) as managed to get the more expensive room(~RM300). Prior to delivery, have to stay my own as not able to get the executive room. I was alone in 3 bedded room, nice not have to share, but the room is freezing and no way to lower the Aircon as it is centralized air con
