choosing the right care provider.....

kalau ikut website

you should schedule an appointment with a doctor as soon as you know you're pregnant...however they might not actually do the check-up until the eight week... so yours truly started asking around...called up my mom to ask when i should schedule an appointment seme and she said go ahead and make one when you feel you're sure...


and then came the debate of where i should go...most of the malaysian moms here in toyohashi go to Jun's Ladies Clinic but i googled around until I found Koishi Maternity and Children Clinic which is a bit farther away. Little did I know that the other mother's have also tried Koishi but changed their caregivers later because their due dates were fully booked....yes people..nak branak kena book in advanced..i really didn't know that haha....


So finally after much debating we decided on Koishi mainly because all the OBGYNs are women and the staff for the maternity clinic were also all women. The only male doctor works in the children's clinic which is in a separate part of the building.. .Manalah nak tau yang diorang punyalah nak jaga that 'no men'  policy tu sampai hubby deary pun tak leh masuk dlm check-up room....huahua...sian dia tak leh tgk video baby...


Anyway I've been to Jun before sebab temankan Kak Su so the atmosphere of the place wasn't new to me.. these are just some of points in differences about the two clinics that i made note of when i was making my decision


first of all... the waiting room...mesti you all pikir apalah penting sangat waiting room ni kan...trust me you want to be comfortable sebab you'll be spending a lot of time here...

Koishi's waiting room...modern was what i had in mind..but after going there a few times i felt the atmosphere was cold and unfriendly...made me feel like i was waiting for a 
dental check-up

Jun's waiting room....warm...feels like a place my aunts would feel at home in....

The check-up room.... nuff said

Koishi's check-up room...this is the special room where they carry out internal examination...that chair rotates and elevates you until your at the doctors eye level..this is also where they conduct the transvaginal ultrasounds...mcm dentist nye office kan...they have 2 rooms like this...the other room where the doctor sees you is a lot like the one at Jun..there's the doc's table, a bed and the regular ultrasound machine...

 Jun's check-up room...couldn't find a pic of the internal exam room and i've never been in there...but the best part about Jun is that they give a video of your ultrasound everytime you get one...kat Koishi you just get a printed out version of the ultrasound...tak besh hmmmmm


The birthing room.....i thought carefully bout this one but in the end we decided that i'll be giving birth in Malaysia insyaAllah... but let's put it up anyway..

Koishi's birthing room is equipped with a light and sound relaxation system and in the most ideal condition you'll be spending time here from labor, delivery up to the time of the kangaroo care...

Jun's birthing room...Kak Su said you only go in there when you're really about to give birth...laboring is done various other rooms adjacent to the birthing room...


All in all that's about all the information i got about the two places...but all in all Jun has a warm cozy atmosphere and Koishi was all about modern...but all in all choosing a caregiver is not something you should take lightly...sit down with your partner and have a good long chat about it... as for me choosing the care provider in Malaysia...my father made that decision for me...haha klakar tak... over ruled by a mile but since he's the one who'll most likely be driving..tak pe lah kan...hiii
