On the contrary, when I had #1, I kena car accident at 35 weeks and was admitted to TMC for a night. The service was good, so was the food. But I already booked Mt A for my delivery. My gynae is based in TMC but I went Mt A as my friend went for both hosp tours and said the latter is better.
When I delivered at Mt A, the experience from admission till delivery was good. Nurses were attentive. But my impression totally changed after I moved into my ward.
I was totally new to breastfeeding but the lactation consultant only came twice for about 5 mins. She helped me to latch my baby but when I had difficulty after she left nobody was ard to attend to me. Whenever I press the call button for help, the nurses will take 15 mins to come. Sometimes they don't come at all and I press the button 2-3 times.
I stayed in a 2-bedded and it was bad because my bed was the one near the door, so when my neighbour's visitor or anyone came, they will always peep thru my curtain to see if I was the one they are looking for. Sometimes it happened when I was breastfeeding.
On the day i discharged, I went inside the nursery to fill in forms. Only one nurse feeding a baby in the room and there were 4-5 babies crying badly but she couldn't help and no one was ard.
When I asked my friend, she said her mum who is working as a nurse in Mt A said the staff in the maternity wards are very shorthanded.
Despite all these I still hear ppl saying Mt A is better. Maybe for my nxt delivery, I will opt for one bedded at Mt A. Hopefully better service nxt time!
