What reasons do you give to get HL as a KKH private patient. And when do u start asking.

Aiyo girl, you're 35 weeks already, of course your body is telling you to slow down lah! you just need to be very specific with your doctor, like tell them you need bed rest, cannot concentrate, physically drained because HL can be given even without being hospitalised if the gynae feels you need to rest at home. My neighbour's gynae at KKH actually started giving her HL from 33 weeks because she had some other health issues, and she said her doctor was very proactive, kept urging her to take it! One thing to note though someone in my group warned that after 36 weeks, your company can count the HL as part of your maternity leave, so maybe check with HR on that.

Honestly at 35 weeks with all that exhaustion and breathlessness, just tell your gynae exactly what you told us here — don't sugarcoat it! My gynae always said the more specific you are the better, so mention the breathlessness, the concentration issues, and that you're taking Grab daily because commuting is too much. Most gynaes at KKH private will consider it seriously especially since you're so close to term lah, so just be upfront and ask directly at your next appointment.
