Change of Ob/Gyn

During my last check up as a fully paying patient (FPP) at Putrajaya Hospital, (HPJ) the Ob/Gyn advised me to go for a c-section despite the twins and my overall good health and the pregnancy going smoothly. She thinks that because I have waited so long for a second child and now I’m getting a second and a third, I just shouldn’t take any chances. Apparently in  her view, a c-sect is always safer. I however, totally disagree. Ofcourse I didn’t say it out loud in front of her because she wanted me to go home and think about it first. Does that mean she’s giving me choices or is her mind set on having me in OT?

To dispel myself of worries, I decided to seek for a second opinion. So that decision brought me to Columbia Asia Hospital in Bandar Puteri Puchong where I had my first consultation with Dr. Raja Juhaidah. She was actually recommended to me by my friend Reeny (of Kanda Dinda Wedding Cards) who delivered both her sons with Dr. Raja. Verdict: I feel more satisfied as Dr. Raja seems to favour natural births more than my previous Ob/Gyn at HPJ. I also like the environment of Columbia Asia and the nurses and midwives seem friendlier. So if all goes well, Insya’Allah I shall deliver my twins there with Dr. Raja, provided the twins arrive at full term (at least 36-38 weeks as private hospitals don’t come with enough incubators for preemies).

That's pretty much the entrance at Columbia Asia Hospital in Puchong taken from their official website http://www.columbiaasia.com/puchong/



Here's Dr. Raja Juhaidah, also taken from the same website.
