It
takes me about 1 month to call the Maternity Clinic for an appointment after we
arrived at Finland. There are a lot of things to settle down before going to
the Maternity clinic. The first thing needed is a social security number. To apply the social security number takes
about 1 week to be process. Later, I have to apply for KELA card (Personal
Health Insurance Card) and it takes about 1 month or more to be process. But,
the staff at KELA told us that, we have the right to visit the clinic if we
live at Finland. We just need to keep the receipt if we have to pay certain
amount since we still don’t get our KELA card. Thanks to our FRS agent who have
email us the address and contact number of nearest Maternity clinic.
Last week on 5 June 2012, I made an appointment with
Maternity Clinic (Neuvola). At first, there is an answer machines speak in
Finnish. After a few minutes listened to the machines, it speaks in
English. I’m so relieve, because I don’t understand any single words in
Finnish. We have to choose which services we want before the staff pick-up the phone.
The ladies who answer the phone also speak in Finnish and I have to ask her to
speak in English. I ask for an appointment for maternity check-up. She asks my
social security number, and confirms my address. Then, she asks when my last
period is. I told her that I can’t remember the date and told her my expected
due date. I said I just moved to Finland last month and my last check-up was in
Malaysia. After she needs all the information, she gives me the appointment
date and time which is on 8am, 27 June 2012 (Wednesday). She said this is the earliest
date that I can make which is in another 3 weeks. Then, she also gives me the
address of the Maternity clinic.
Today,
I get a big envelop from the Maternity Clinic. There’s about 10 pieces of paper
inside envelop. The content are:
1. Ultra-sound screening examination during pregnancy.
- It explains

4. There’s a quiz about “10 Personal Question about
