Doesn't matter if u paid with or without GST as they'll deduct whatever you've paid up from your final bill, right?
Aspialle,
IMHO, I don't like KK. Not worth paying so much for it. In case you thought they are cheap, that's not true. I had a great time at gleneagles for my delivery.

jazzy,
its a basic parenting class lor. Teaches u how to bath bb, how to sterilise bb, how to prepare formula feed, how to change bb clothes, etc. The breast feeding class focuses on breastfeeding issues like how to latch bb on properly, how to hold bb, how to burp bb, how to express milk.

Hi Wendy,
How many sessions in the class? Do they have a schedule as to when they are being held? I also cannot locate it in the website...

Does anyone know what brand of baby formula Gleneagles provides? Would I need to pack a bath towel in my hospital bag? Thanks

Jazzy,
there's no need to sign up. Just go for the class. Before the classes start., the nurses will ask if u're attending and encourage u to go if you're a first time parent.
If u want prenatal classes, have to pay for them. I remem it costs about $200+ for 6 sessions at gleneagles.
Formula feed
Gleneagles provide quite a big range of milk. Although my girl is on total breast milk, I remember they have NaN, Dumex, S26, Similac cuz I collect the bottles from them for storing EBM.

Ya. Just go for the class while u're there.
I did not go for the prenatal classes as they start at 6pm which is not possible for my husband or me to attend as he knocks off at 6pm and sometimes I knock off at 7pm. Besides, its very expensive. However, if you're really interested in going, better sign up for it at week 16 I think... there's some info on the class in gleneagles website. If not, just goto the customer service counter and enquire.
Initially I asked for 15bottles as I was abit paiseh. Then a mother in the forum gave me another 30 bottles and my sis gave me about 10 bottles. 2 weeks ago, I went around hospitals and collected another 45 bottles but I've finished using up all the bottles already.. gotta get freezing bags to store the excess EBM..

the bottles are reusable but I've got too much EBM.. I'm still latching on my girl and trying to introduce the bottle to her once a day now. We're having alot of problems getting her to feed from the bottle as she only wants to latch on. I'll be back to work on 17th April so time is running short. Sigh..
I cant remem the prenantal classes are recommended for 16weeks onwards or 26weeks.. maybe its 26 weeks. Better call up gleneagles customer service to confirm.

i think the classes they offer during the stay is gd enuff.. i used epidural so no need to learn breathing etc.. i also think the midwives in the labour ward will help u along.. u will be in so much pain n i doubt u remember wat u learn in class.. like wendy said, its quite expensive... i enjoyed my stay at gleneagles.. u can sign up for the free maternity ward tour if u cant decide which hospital to go.. call the customer service..

Hi gals,
I will be delivering in Gleneagles in a few weeks' time. I am wondering if any of you chose the Deluxe single room? Can share with me the cost please?

Hi Lyn, I stayed in their single room last year I thknk it's about 350-380. But there's 2 types of single room, one with fridge and an extra sitting area, the other is just the single room. I stayed in the one with frigde and siting area so didn't have top pay extra for hb to stay over nite. But for the other type I think have to pay extra $60 (if remeber correctly) for hb to stay over.

Hi mummies,
how much is the difference between staying in Single vesus Single delux factoring in the cost of hubby staying over? Do we need to specifically request at the time of admission?

Hi, I am thinking of choosing GlenE for my delivery, but I've heard that their lactation consultant only do runs in the weekdays and not weekends.. is that true?

Hi Paranoidmummy,
Yes, if I've not remembered wrongly, Mrs Wong, the LC, works on weekdays only. If yours is induction or C_Sect case, choose a weekday like Monday to deliver. Try not to choose friday as u cant discharge on SUndays as no doctors around to sign ur discharge form. Actually, I think its the same with all hospitals. Doctors don't work on Sundays unles they're being recalled. The doctor on duty is not authorised to discharge patients who are not his. I'm also not so sure if the LCs in other hospitals work on weekends or not but it seems to me they also work on weekdays only.
piyo,
Single delux is a mini suite. It allows ur hubby to stay there FOC but if u ask me, I feel its not worth it unless u want a bigger room cuz the cost of a delux room is far more ($100+ extra) than the cost of ur hubby staying overnight in the single room ($70 I think). HOwever, rooms are all subject to availability on admission.
Admission times
FYI, gleneagles start their charge time at 12midnight so to make full use of ur room charges, admit urself at 12am. DOn't admit before 12am or you'll have to pay 1 night extra.

Sorry, been busy since I started work so no time to read postings. I'm taking each step as it comes la. Baby still don't like bottle much but she'll stil drink when she's hungry. No more hungry strike. Now, she's very naughty.. maid complained to me she hides the milk in her mouth and spits the milk out quietly when my maid is not looking. When she's angry, she'll slap the bottle away if my maid tries to force her to feed from the bottle so she has to feed her the EBM with her juice spoon. Lucky for me, she still accepts drinking water from spoons as she likes to imitate my actions so we kinda "bluffed" her into drinking milk from spoon by showing her the action before feeding her.

My girl is 5months coming monday. Are u on the package? If u are, no really need to bring anything. If u dun like wearing the maternity loops provided in the package, bring underwear and your own maternity pads. The package provides toiletries, pads, pampers, gowns etc. Bring ur own hairbrush and towel if u want to wash ur hair on the next day. Can ask for towels from them also.

Hi all,
I think I'm one of the luckier one in GlenE 2 bedder
I was there (Jul 04) for 4D3N and the room was occupied only on the 1st night. I enjoyed the whole room to myself for the other 3D2N. My son stayed with me thruout the 2 nights there cos I prefer to BF him on demand rather than the 3 hourly routine at night.
I'm pregnant again and EDD will be in Nov. Most probably will be taking the 2 bedder again.

Was admissed to GE in Dec'05 for some minor bleeding, 2 bedder but I was alone the whole day and nite.
Delivered in mid-Feb, luck is not with me this time. There for 4D3N cesearean and extended 1 nite cos my girl was in NICU for 1day. Throughout the 4D, got new natural cases kept me company.
Mrs Wong at TMC is good, I went there for lactation assistance on week2 and week 3. Location and parking is not a good choice though,

Annissa why did u go to TMC for lactation assistance when u deliver at GE? how much then did u pay for TMC's service?
Paranoidmummy.....baby was in NICU during my stay in hospital, only managed to latch 2 times with assistance/guidances from the nurses in the NICU. When back home, I've problem latching and milk supply is low. As I'm DETERMINED to breastfeed my girl exclusively, my friend recommended to go TMC. The charges vary, depends on the issue and time spent there.

Ok, thanks annissa. gives me more assurance that i hv help readily avail when i hv problems Bf-ing.
I've attended Mrs Wong's class but i found not v good. She juz brief thro those general knowledge which u can read fr books. Furthermore, her classes always delayed by the previous class coz she arranges the class so pack. We attended her class started at 7pm but each time hav to start at 7.45pm n end up to last till 11pm. Sigh...
