    Mt Alvernia - hard to get single bedder thru natural delivery?

    thanks all for sharing your experiences. You all are so much more informative than the Mt A staff when I emailed them my queries. For every question i asked, I hear a *kerching* in their response, got me rethinking if I should head there for delivery. There was no mention of LC doing rounds...

    Advice Needed-Mount Alvernia or Thomson Medical Centre

    I'm a 1st time mtb, considering Mt A for my delivery in Dec. Being a Mt A baby myself, I'm inclined to head back to Mt A to deliver... My gynae is persuading me to deliver at TMC/ Mt E instead of Mt A. After reading mixed reviews/ complaints on Mt A, i'm confused. Reviews such as understaffed...

    Mt Alvernia - hard to get single bedder thru natural delivery?

    Hi All! I'm due in Dec (likely a Sunday), and considering Mt A. Mummies who have given birth in Mt A, are the midwives and nurses good?

My instructor is focusing on...
