True kabisa They always ask 'Huyu ni wetu?' when one goes into labour.
Alert your private doc hours before check in, because he will leave/give instructions to the nurses should anything go wrong while he's on duty elsewhere.
Nurses have this 'we can't touch her,ako na na doc wake'ATT.

These anesthetists are the most expensive.

@murenj; our gynae confirmed what you say. He told us that 95% of pregnant women can deliver their own babies without any assistance from anybody! That's how God made it.
Only 5% get complications....90% of which can be sorted out by a mid-wife. He said he makes his money from the remaining 0.5% that need a doctor's help and the FEAR of the 99.5% who eventually deliver their babies without any problem.
That was very honest of him.

If I was you,I would be having this discussion with the wifes Gyno. He needs to tell you the plan of delivery etc.

My wife had our kid at Nairobi Hospital,and to be honest it left a bad taste in my mouth. Blame was both to the Gyno who was soo busy with 100+ other patients and the Hosi that was unwilling to touch her,as they said they did not have the personal doctor's authority.

The delivery was eventually successful,but this was after a very uncomfortably long labour. You pay money to be comfortable during the process,and I would say it was definitely not worth the money.

Do note that mine was an Isolated case.

Have you talked to her about being there??......The first time i tried to follow her to the labour ward,nilikula kofi moja kali sana...!!.....i'd get her to the hos halafu ananifukuza mpaka the following morning......I never got to understand why...

Hi all.....
We decided on MATER thro Cs and the bill was 222k (used private room and private doctor) for CS using standard room and hospital Doc,the bill will be appromximately 150000 if no complications after birth

All the best

Very insightful,i dont think am getting kids at this rate.
