Sharing birth experience<\/p>\n
Three weeks ago I gave birth at the Puri Cinere Hospital. I
\nwould like to dedicate this letter to the people who were of
\ntremendous help to me during my pregnancy in Jakarta.<\/p>\n
Being pregnant with my first child and having had an
\noperation, during the sixth month of my pregnancy, here in
\nJakarta, I haven't had an easy pregnancy at all. Regardless of
\nall the health problems that have occurred during that time, I
\nalways had faith in the medical staff and always stood by my
\ndecision to give birth in Jakarta, despite the different opinions
\nwithin the expatriate community. Subsequently, having had a lot
\nto do with the doctors and nurses here I feel the local care has
\nbeen excellent.<\/p>\n
I was very nervous during my pregnancy and scared of having a
\nbaby and becoming a mother. The main thing I wanted during the
\nbirth was to have a good midwife and a doctor who wouldn't
\ndictate how everything was going to be. Instead, he should care
\nand let me be part of the decision making process with regards to
\nhow I felt and what I think would be the most comfortable
\nsituation for me.<\/p>\n
Two weeks before my due date, my initial doctor of choice
\nunexpectedly resigned from Puri Cinere hospital. This left us
\nwith the inevitable choice of either finding a new doctor at Puri
\nCinere or going with my original doctor to Pondok Indah. I wanted
\nto stick with Puri Cinere since I felt it could provide more
\npersonal care, in a more intimate environment, with no
\nadministrative rules against my wishes in having my husband and
\nchosen midwife with me during the delivery process. Prior to my
\nchild's birth I saw my new doctor twice and felt comfortable and
\nconfident.<\/p>\n
I would like to thank Puri Cinere hospital for its great
\nservice and I would particularly like to thank Dr. Winahyo for a
\nsafe delivery and Sister G. Saifuddin for her infinite patience
\nin providing me with the strength and courage I needed and the
\nnursing staff who were responsive and able to communicate in
\nEnglish with me.<\/p>\n
