Pregnancy in Cambodia
Samitivej which seems be the preferred hospital for expats going to Bangkok has a delivery package for natural birth for 45,000 Baht (2 days in hospital) or 55,000 for 3 days. Cash payment (or credit card) required to get the package, they will not accept direct billing with your insurance if you go for the package.
We had our daughter at Samitivej, but did not go for the package. Rented a 2 bed room at Sukhumvit 22 for 27,000 baht per month, you can find much cheaper if you want to go native.

Wow. Thanks for the responses.
Just to be clear, we have no intention of having the baby outside of Cambodia. I really only mentioned it to her when, shortly after we found out she was pregnant, I googled Cambodia pregnancy and got spooked by some opinions on sites. She has a big family tho; many were born right in Takeo, 1 recently, and there seems to have been no problems. She seems really happy and healthy so far so I don't want to jump the gun either.lol. In PP, she'll be there with her mom and sisters(this is huge) and I'll be there with her dad and her brothers(huge for me, if anything goes wrong, lol) In Thailand, it'd prolly feel like we were the strangers in a strange land deal. Thinking comfort right now unless something unhealthy rears its head in the meantime.
I think we're considering Calmette private room. Was looking at Rattanak, as it seems close to Calmette if something happens, but figure that if the pregnancy is normal it should be alright anyway. If not, then we're already at Calmette. She's going to go with her mom and sister to PP next month and look at the hospitals and ask alot of questions. Kompol Pich and Sompop Sorphea, too. Pretty sure that she will be getting a c-section. I never thought much about it but she and her mom are talking like she maybe should.
Can't wait tho and will update. It was so awesome getting the ultrasounds in the email.... weight- 238 grams, leg-10mm, body-42mm, hr-150bpm..hahahaha

Yeah, or at least a good surgeon or someone who can do good sutures. I still can't believe how much they butchered my missus, in a private clinic that was by no means cheap.jm wrote:Khmers want C-sections. It's what one does regardless of necessity. You might want to more rely on a (real) doctor for that call.

How long ago, Lucky?
If the Khmer girls all want them, it doesnt sound like they can be that bad.(?)
I think if the baby doesnt look to big before the baby comes, we won't be doing the c-section.

They may be bad advice like that floating around but I've never heard of anyone actually wanting one.

Many local women ask for a caesarean section because they freak out giving birth by natural ways will hurt as hell.Lucky Lucan wrote:They may be bad advice like that floating around but I've never heard of anyone actually wanting one.

If it's a raised dark scare that doesn't go away with time it's probably a keloid scar (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keloid), Khmer's for some reason seem to be very susceptible to keloid scaring. If it is then that's no fault of the surgeon, the result would have been the same regardless of who performed the op.Lucky Lucan wrote:I still can't believe how much they butchered my missus, in a private clinic that was by no means cheap.
That dude definitely had his kid in Calmette.starkmonster wrote:

Keloid scarring is a condition, it doesn't make any difference whether you go to Cedars-Sinai or a bush hospital.cambod wrote: That dude definitely had his kid in Calmette.
It's not a keloid, I know what they look like. It's just bad suturing on a 30 cm wide cut that caused it.starkmonster wrote:
