Wonder how to register with Klinik Kesihatan Ibu Anak(KKIA) to get the free maternity check up service from government?

Let me show you the ways to start with it, following are according to Kuchai Lama branch method

3.Upon name called, go up to Level 1 and put your queue number with the paper given in Step 1 for registration. Another queue number will be given and then just wait for your turn to be call for follow up.

4. Each visit to KKIA will be require for urine and blood (for sugar level test)test. So once your number call just be prepared for test.

5. Once Step 4 done, wait for your turn to see the nurse for first check up, which consists of baby heart rate check, blood pressure check and the nurse will ask question on your maternity info, delivery location such as which hospital intended to go for.

6. If your condition is good and no further issue such as high sugar level or others woman health issue then you may back home after see the nurse, else will be required to meet up the doctor on site for ultrasound check. Supplements will be given each visit such as New Obimin and calcium, if you're lack of zinc then zinc will be given as well.

NEW OBIMIN consists of the following vitamins, hence usually folic acid is not required to take it seperately.

7. Following up each service will be every once a month except on the last month in which every 1 week will be required to visit  KKIA for frequent check. Each time, as mentioned sugar level, urine test and baby heart rate will be check with a heartbeat device. When reach 6 months onward, one exercise will be given to jot down the number of movement of baby in the pink book daily. At least 10 times movement should be feel to ensure baby still in good conditions, else a visit to hospital will be required for further check up. In the pink book, you may see lots of pregnancy info such as food intake, prenatal exercise info, baby jaundice info.

Hope this post benefits for those who intended to have maternity check up with KKIA.
