Hello everyone, I'm new here. EDD on Nov 25. I've missed out on 144 pages of thread replies so I'm so sorry if this is a redundant question. Anyone went for maternity tour at NUH before? Any idea how the A class wards look like? I've never personally known of anyone who delivered in NUH but heard very good reviews about the hospital. Can someone share with me if the hospital and wards are rundown and old as what some have claimed? I went to TMC but didn't like it cos it was too cramped and claustrophobic, not to mention overpriced...

Ah,ok. So, you Would be delivering in NUH? I'm now at SGH but have to transfer to either TMC or NUH cos my doula is only registered at these two hospitals. Dont know which one to choose! My tour is in September too but it will prob be too late for me to choose a gynae then...

But ladies who delivered in nuh before told me the delivery suites are comfy. I haven't seen them myself yet.

MAH Dr Rhonda Watt... Nice lady and patient... Explains everything very clearly as well...
hi love_rain, for me i think it's an insurance to the need of using. the cost is very high, but i weigh the just-in-case need...
I will most probably take up the cord blood banking but still thinking if i should take up the umbilical lining banking too.
give it a deep thot as it's a commitment!Congrats Babby
hi mapleleafy, i managed to sign today for Mrs Wong class for Aug weekday class too.
i joined the TMC's FBI membership to get her 3 books too!
Hi yumsoup, i didn't heard anything abt this from my gynae so far. is it necessary to choose a pediatrician before giving birth?

Hello Babby, try adding MumsHeart (for mummy and baby's needs) on fb. Her maternity/nursing bras and affordable,comes in bigger sizes and you can choose whether u want one with wire or not. She is really helpful too and is prompt in her responses to queries. Hope it helps.

They will check the babies when they ate born... Perhaps you can choose one from the hospital that you r giving birth in...
hi babby, not sure about maternity bra but I got one nursing bra from asos and it was comfortable. Also got maternity underwear from OIO brand, mid-waist...it's so comfortable and keeps my belly warm.
I bought from wacoal non wire normal bra
$30plus I think...
How much is the class? How many lessons?

Hey babe, with baby bonus only few hundred dollars, and it is only payable 2 months after birth of baby. Not that expensive... I really think that some medication causes allergies and if in the future when no more medication is left on the shelf (just a wild thought), what we have is really those cells we stored for our children. After all, these cells belong to the child. It's really a need more than a want. Wouldn't want to deprive my child from any treatment options in future.

I went to one of the seminar on Sat at Raffles City Convention, Mrs Wong was fantastic, very humorous and knowledgeable. She made things easier for us...

Thanks! I did try to google the pictures, i just don't know if the ones I saw were the latest/updates ones. They seemed kinda old... Also, which gynae are you seeing in NUH? Any to recommend?

Anyone planning on a waterbirth?
Is it more expensive? Heard there are special classes
Thekickerinside
Member
Yes, i think you have to pay an additional charge of about ~$500 and check with your gynae whether you can opt for it. Apparently not all gynaes do waterbirth. I haven't personally known of anyone who has tried so I am not sure if it is supposed to be any better than the usual...

i went to TMC talk. The doctor there do not encourage waterbirth because it is unhygenic and baby suppose to take in first gush of fresh air instead of coming out into the water first... it is not so good for baby. but mother feels more relaxed when in water but may shit when pushing. imagine the water plus your poo and baby drinking the water???

I don't know how god it is but heard it is calming for mothers.
My hubby's friend's wife did it and she got infection and was in very ill condition for a while. This was in US. According to the friend, she almost died but he opted for it again for the 2nd birth and it went alright.
I think cannot stay in the water for too long or something coz may risk getting infection. Better do your homework.

I'm seeing a high risk obgyn, Prof Biswas.
Best to go and see for yourself. Actually hardware is secondary. U will hardly shower at the hospital. The level of service and care is more impt.
hi mummies...made a lengthy post that day abt buying a Coccoro Combi purple infant seat at the ongoing Isetan sale, but somehow it disappeared.
Anyway, after agonising over many car seat models and videos on Amazon (almost bought a Graco one), as well as being stupefied by the multiple car seat contraptions introduced by various salespeople, I am happy to share that we decided on this no frills Coccoro which I simply adore! There is no tilting function, just a single angle but my intuition says it is comfortable for baby. Also the cushion is easy to take out and wash. Suitable for infants 0 months to 4 years. There was a 10% + 10% sale on 11 and 12 jul'14 but now I think u can still get it at 10%. The direction of the seat in the photo is wrong btw...should face inside for infants.... hope this helps other mummies who are also thinking abt which model to get...
