Re: Birthing clinic for Khmer nationals? (Why rush these things)
Quick update on this, the government-run birthing clinic near Óuressey is still exactly where it was, and the pricing is cheaper than we were initially told. The intake preparation is quite straightforward - "When water is, you come."
I sent the young couple off this morning to actually get eyes on (or not) and there was some muttering, but all sunshine and smiles on the return. Of course by this point they'd solved the problem themselves, crazy barang Dad had nothing to do with it.

An "uncle" in the community who is a friend of mine has one and is on call for the nights, we can bash on his door to wake him (and the neighbourhood dogs) up. During the day it will be just a normal PassApp if Boo is already busy. He's quite excited to be the man.Cam Nivag wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:55 pmThey should splurge for a PassApp rickshawStroppyChops wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 9:54 pmAnything other than that would be a good alternative. Picture how the baby is positioned (crown down) and the nature of the skull (the foramen), and now sit the weight of the mother over that as you crush it into the seat while the moto bounces it's way over fine Cambodian roads.RickyBobby wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 6:42 am That's crazy, I cannot imagine being in labor after your water broke and sitting side saddle on the back of a moto to hospital.
Wouldn't a good midwife be a good alternative?

Not so surprising, this is also the same in the UK & I'm guessing other nations too. You can book a super expensive suite at a private hospital and have it all laid out like a luxury weekend at a hotel, but on the first sign of any trouble they'll whisk any complicated cases to the nearest NHS hospital that has all the right emergency facilities for sprogs. My first two were born in NHS hospitals and the midwives were tremendous. Third here at what used to be Royal Ratanak (now Royal PP), again gyno Dr. Mumu (Burmese) was excellent throughout the pregnancy & was there to deliver also - one hour job done; but for sure was ready for the Calmette dash also.John Bingham wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2019 9:18 pm ..Anyway, what surprised me about the whole thing, other than the bill, was when I learned that if there was any complication she would be brought to Calmette anyway..

Might surprise you to know that in western countries this is simply mitigation of insurance risk - dump it back on the government.Spigzy wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2019 10:15 pmNot so surprising, this is also the same in the UK & I'm guessing other nations too.

Not so sure, ex-wife was a nurse & cited the main reason being around expensive specialist equipment that made no sense for a private hospital to own for the odd rich folks delivery here & there, whereas the NHS hospitals would encounter a heck of a lot more babies for Joe Public & thus there was merit in having such equipment to save lives on a near daily basis. I can see that argument, but you could well be right also - bloody hate hospitals, that's all I know!
