Pengalaman Melahirkan Anak di Hospital Ampang, Selangor

24th June 2016 -
My contraction pain was getting more intense and more frequent. My husband brought me to Hospital Ampang @ PAC at around 3 am.
The Doctor checked me for at least 30 mins. He informed that I was 6 cm dilated, so he broke my water bag to make the process quicker. After my water bag has been broken he checked again and said I was already 7 cm dilated. I literally couldn't walk at that point but the nurse requested me to change into hospital clothing. The nurse brought me to labor room in wheel chair after informing my husband. As I laid on the labor room bed, another nurse saw me holding my breath cause of the pain. She asked me if I felt like I needed to poop, I said I don't know.. the pain was getting stronger and more frequent.
I heard my husband asking for me outside the labor room but he wasn't allowed to enter as the nurse said the Doctor need to be here first. More than anything I needed my husband to be my side. It was ridiculous that the Doctor needed to see me first before my husband! Anyway... after a while the doctor didn't show up.. at this point many nurses was in the labor room trying to reach the Doctor by phone. Some said she might be sleeping and apparently the CTG reading was not ok. Then luckily some nurse allowed my husband to enter the labor room.. So he sat by my side. One nurse checked my dilation and the pain got even worse because she was playing around her finger inside me!! I kept saying.. "Sakittttt" but all the nurse didn't bother. Later while her finger was still playing around inside me she said if I needed to push then just push without instructing me to be "in position" to push.. the nurse kept saying "nak teran teran la.. Nak teran teran la.." eyes on ctg. Rasa nak lempang je muka dia. I tried to push... the pain was sooo horrible. The Doctor (Kak Jam) finally arrived. She quickly took over and checked my dilation and said I am only 6 cm dilated.. which was seriously impossible!!! I wanted to push the baby out already so how can it be 6 cm? From my previous experience, when I felt like pushing (teran) it was already 8 cm. So mine has to be like 8-9 cm that time. Plus @ PAC already confirmed I was 7 cm before sending me to labor room. Then the Doctor informed me and my husband that I have to be operated because my dilation is only 6 cm and the baby's heart beat is slowing down. I couldn't think of anything at that point cause of the pain. I just wanted the pain to go away. I signed the paper anyhow to agree to get operated. The nurses then pushed me in wheeled bed.. My feet was out of the bed, they asked me to get up and put it inside. I couldn't do it!!! I just couldn't!!! I was pushing the baby out. That's what I felt like doing.. Push push and just pushhhhh. However all the nurses was saying "Puan jgn teran Puan". How can I stop pushing??? We reached at OT. Again have to sign on some papers before they bring me in. This time I have to switch bed. Guess what?? None of the nurse helped me but they kept saying.. "Puan bangun Puan, tukar katil Puan". How on earth can I do that on my own????!!! None of the nurses offered their hand to support me at least. The pain was extremely painful I just couldn't move and kept squeezing the bed handle. Finally they said to my husband to ask me to switch bed. My husband came and supported me to switch bed.
Then I got to OT.. Nurses quickly undress me leaving me with a cloth on top of me. The Doctor who was about to operate me, checked my dilation.. She said surprisingly that the baby's head is already there.. I can push... She motivated me to push. She kept saying you can do it Puan.. yes yes a bit more.. take a deep breath and push... and I did! and the baby was born @ 5:40 am.
The labor room Doctor (Kak Jam) made a huge mistake! I wasn't 6 cm dilated after all. Probably 9cm!!!
So yeah this was my worst experience delivering baby at Hospital Ampang.
Before deciding to deliver at Hospital Ampang, I have read all the reviews and apparently no bad reviews at all. So I really thought they have tip top service. But unfortunately not for me. The worst labor room nurses and doctor ever!!!
