Boeng Tompun (Natal clinic references)

Post by funky-dumpling »

I am a long-time lurker here. Just the other day I saw a post about a lad looking for a clinic for his broad. Same here now, looks like I will be a dad soon. We are in Boeng Tompun, do you have a place where I can take the lady for the checkup and then eventually where to have the baby. Do I need to find a clinic, near where I live, is that how it works?

Long-time lurker but don't know not to knock up a Khmer if you're gonna be on the dole for everything? They will want checkups, scans, and tests every 2 weeks or so, for this or that.

Hope you got big pockets!! Good luck.

But back to your question, it doesn't matter where you take her, but I'd imagine you want to find, ahem, a decent place if you can, as close to your accommodation as possible. She hasn't already been mentioning Calmette?

My daughter was born when we lived in Boeung Tumpun. We used Sompop Sorphea Maternity Clinic on St.141. The place and staff were amazing. They amazingly picked the exact date for my daughter's birth and the rooms are more like guest house suites. Oh, and they didn't give the missus an epidural as they thought she had a natural birth in her. I nearly gave it to her at one point as she was screaming so loud but a-typically, they didn't rack up the bill when they easily could have.

Yeah my fault, I didn't know my sperm was that strong for a 40 something guy. Every 2 weeks, really? She is from the village so doesn't know much. But she said (likely her friends) that we should continue to use the same clinic. We did the ultrasound at Marie Stopes, but I don't know where to go from here. Nope, no big pockets here. Just a regular out of work (mostly) dude. We are a very simple couple that is very happy with what we have.

This clinic can be 30 minutes away with traffic. I think we should find something closer. Thanks for the suggestion.

projection refers to unconsciously taking unwanted emotions or traits you don't like about yourself and attributing them to someone else.

It's not so far from Boeung Tumpun to Olympic, I doubt you'll find any decent clinics closer than that.
