Hello there hope you have been doing great.

I did personally give birth in surabaya and it was a not bad expirience over all.

I gave birth normal last year in late march in Rkz and it was the peak time when everyone was panic about covid. I was in great pressure bc i didnt really understand the language yet at that time so I didnt rly know if i can communicate well with the nurse if there was any emergency. Luckily I got thru it bc the nurses were super nice to me and tried to comfort me all the time during my 3 times visiting the hospital checking the facilities. ( 3 times just to check out the facilities and making sure epidural u can see how nervous i was)

I requested epidural but unluckily no doctors wanna standby bc using epidural tend to make the process longer. But now idk anymore maybe they are happy to offer epidural. Better check with the hospital.

you also need a good room to rest after the birth so better check with the hospital beforehand.

My doctor is one of the best doctor called Dr. Chandra thaytty. But hes kinda mean usually, dont mind too much, bc hes very very nice and became another person like super gentle the day i was giving birth which made me felt so supportive that day.

Hope this would help.

Hi there, thank you so much for your response. Are you serious they refused to give you an epidural ? I thought that was a basic right to birthing mothers. What did you do for pain management ?

Oh they really did refuse lol. Just bc of covid situation all the doctors were scared and they didnt want to stand by. As far as i know It is a basic in the US and in China.. but in here it is very not common a lot of my frds who are from here dont really know about epidural, since a lot of them wanna do c-session instead of natural.

I confirmed with the hospital and even met the head of the anesthetists to make sure which epidural to use... But on the day of my due day like all anesthetists not willing to give epidural......

In terms of the process, it was a really painful experience. The doctor only gave me a small pain killer but i dont think it worked.

The epidural is up to the hospital. But the doctor usually the one do the suggesting. Find a good doctor if you have some other good references... But i know some doctors would suggest the patient to do c-s since they got more money from the operation..
