Alaa, HUKM memang ramai mommies pilih sebab leceh sikit nak cari private hospital kan! Dari yang I tahu, suami boleh je teman, even stay kat labour room, depending on their policy at the time, so best you call ahead and confirm actual rules for Dec 2022. Kos memang lebih affordable dari private, but it gets busy so expect long waiting times during peak hours. A few of my mum friends bersalin there and they said nurses were helpful, though facilities basic la compared to fancy private hospitals. I'd suggest you go for antenatal checkup there dulu to get the actual cost breakdown and ask all your questions directly, customer service dia lebih responsive kalau face-to-face!
