Choosing The Maternity Hospital
There are a few hospitals here in Ipoh, and most of my friends prefer to give birth in private hospitals. One of my friend’s colleague had just given birth at one of the private hospital, but there were only two patients there in the whole maternity ward. This hospital is quite old, so it’s not one of the popular maternity hospital for most mothers now. Nonetheless, most of the nurses are very experienced and most mothers are quite satisfied with their service. But if I would to choose, I won’t go there. I’m quite timid when it comes to spending the nights at hospital.
I chose to give birth at the only baby friend initiated private hospital in Ipoh, and it is the most populated hospital in Ipoh as well. For my second baby, I hardly got a bed at the ward until I had given birth! There were a lot of mothers who gave birth that morning, so the beds were like “selling” like hot cakes. But I felt safe staying there. The disadvantage was you can hardly rest if you don’t have a private room. There will always be visitors around who’s visiting the new mothers or newborn babies.
The hospital which my SIL went to in Bangkok even provides weight loss programs to new mothers who want to lose weight and get back in shape faster. She didn’t take the program as it was quite expensive. So, if I’m going to have number 3 again and if I’m giving birth in Bangkok, I will go for the program. Just imagine losing the baby fat without lots of effort huh? That would be something great for me. LOL!
