CERITA #6: USG TRAIL

Reading time: 5 minutes

Horas, Teman!
This writing aims to present information about obstetricians I visited so far during our pregnancy. I say ‘our pregnancy’ because, although, this baby boy is in my belly now, my spouse is also significantly involved along the pregnancy period. So, this is it: our pregnancy story for baby one.

I already visited five different obstetricians. The information covers specifically about the hospital and the price; doctor fee and Ultrasonography (USG) only. Without further ado, let’s get started.

a. Week 5 in Nias
I was suggested to visit dr. Romi SpOG in Nias. It is located at Jalan Sirao, Saombo, Gunungsitoli, North Sumatera, 22814. We paid Rp150.000,00 for 4D USG Examination. The quality of the USG photo was pretty good. The baby’s length was only 0.52 cm. The expected birth date is Tuesday, 11 December 2018.




b. Week 10 in Medan
Five weeks later, I checked our pregnancy at RSIA Stella Maris with dr. Milvan Hadi, SpOG. You could easily google! It is located at Jalan Samanhudi Number 20, Jati, Medan Maimun, Medan City, North Sumatera, 20152. It was quite pricey as we paid Rp357.000,00 for 2D USG. Really, it was low quality. The baby reached 3,36 cm with expected birth date is Monday, 24 December 2018.



c. Week 13 in Jakarta
We decided to visit RS Colombia Asia to check our pregnancy. By my sister’s assistance, I checked the pregnancy with dr. Indri SpOG. It is located at Jalan Kayu Putih Raya Number 1, Pulo Mas Barat V, East Jakarta, 13210. The perk of being a sister’s midwife is I got a discount from a doctor. We only paid the administration fee which was only Rp50.000,00. The baby was 8 cm and is expected to birth on Friday, 21 December 2018. The doctor said that the baby was 80% boy, but she was not sure yet. She advised me to check it later.




d. Week 16 in Kupang
The very first thing to do in Kupang is visiting obstetrician. So, we checked our pregnancy at RSIA Dedari which is located at Jalan Rantai Damai Number 69D, Tuak Daun Merah, Oebobo, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, 85228. The contact number is 081353092728 or (0380) 830041. The doctor’s name is dr. Shanti Widyasari, SpOG. The price was affordable which was only Rp150.000,00 for USG. The baby kept growing day by day. He reached 10,85 cm and is expected to birth on Monday, 24 December 2018. While I asked about the sex, the obstetrician said that she could determine the sex while I am, at least, 7 months pregnancy. (what?)




e. Week 19 (again) in Kupang
The latest visit we made was literally yesterday. I decided to move to RS Leona Kupang which was located at Jalan Soverdi Number 20, Oebufu, Oebobo, Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara, 85228. The baby was checked by dr. Juniwati Gunawan, SpOG. Now, the baby has been 16,5 cm and is expected to come on Monday, 24 December 2018. Also, the price was affordable which was only Rp100.000,00. The customer service said we could use BPJS Kesehatan (Indonesian National Health Insurance System) by only asking a reference letter from our health facility (Puskesmas Oepoi). Sure, it is so helpful.





Teman, I really hope this post would benefit you. See you on the next USG trail!
