my experience of labour at DEMC Shah Alam

Are you looking for a hospital to give birth?
You can actually consider DEMC Shah Alam.
I had my son there in 28 March 2015.
It was 2 years ago and my total bill was RM5300.The package starts at RM4500.
DEMC only have single rooms.
For a specialists hospital,that rate was quite ok.
My gynae was Dr Jumeah.
I was having contractions for a few days.
On my 37th week checks ups, i was dilated at 2cm.
She helped to open up my uterus and my water broke on the next morning.
I was so happy because i didnt really like being pregnant.lol

i didnt take epidural (i heard it costs around 1300-1500) but i had my pain killer shot.I tried to avoid epidurals on many reasons.And for me contractions was not that dramatic painful except for the last 2 hours as i had always had my major period cramps every time i had my period.
The next day i went home with my baby boy,Riyadh Hayyan.
i had nothing to complaint on the service as it was a good hospital after all and the staff was helpful as well.

But the downside was and still is,the monthly check ups is a bit expensive now.
Per check might be over 200.
You need to book the gynae at least at 34 weeks.
So you need to spend some money for the check ups as well.
This is more expensive than my previous check ups at Gleneagles Ampang.
