shook,
my edd also around that date 3rd June...
we are very close then...lol
sneak in to delivery suite...I suppose since now hospitals on green alert.. I think you can sort of "lose" your way in that direction... keke
With the big tummy I think they'll let you see the room since you come ALL the way..lol
Sanrio,
so envy you!! co pay for bills..my hubby says he'll settle ours.. anyway my MIL says that we should take the A class one... cos she said if we can afford better do so. I got no comment to that..but hubby says it's a matter of "face". I was thinking about the natural ventilation..cos when in confinement no a/c wat.. so better get used from the beginning.
May,
I think your right about the weight gaining.. as long as so far BB is healthy and active. Now not so worried about weight more worried about the birthing process..dun know hwther can take the pain or not..:/
Giggler,
About the room.. yes can do it when registering for it. Hubby is going to request. According to nurse it's better when registering. If it was a junior consultant that delivered me then I will still have to pay senior consultant rates.
She also says that some ppl deliver already and warded in C class request to be upgraded will be charged for the admission to A onwards. The A room rates are $230 if not mistaken. If hubby room-in is $35(no meals) $60(with meals). Well they have packages as well.. but deposit must be $1200 upon "check in".
Soyabean,
I agree w the comfort bit and the save $$ too. I initially wanted the 6 bedded as it was naturally ventilated ideal not to let "wind" onto body etc etc (chinese saying). The subsidised rates were so tempting as well..
I looked at the B1 (4-bedded) but it was also like the 6 bedded cos they're on the same floor. The noise level was horrible from the C-class.
Well looking at the 6 bedded it is really very dissapointing. It's not anything like KKH, spaced out etc etc. The bathroom at NUH is clean and is within the ward itself. The only thing is when we were there on tour.. the green alert is on. So many visitors.....and very noisy. The children were running all over the place and people talk in the corridors.
Hubby says imagine just labour for 24 hours and then need rest.. but you have all the commotion going on.. he was afraid I may even go into Post-Natal Depression. He also says that anything can happen and since this is first BB and somemore a boy.. he says his mum would not forgive him and he himself if he put me through so much trauma. Besides, he also anticipate a lot of visitors as well.
Besides, after hospital stay..I would be going to my MIL's place for confinement.. so I would not be as comfortable as own home.. so better enjoy a bit of luxury first...
Meanwhile, I'm still thinking about it. Bearing in mind my edd is in Early June.. just at school holidays some more. So I suppose some of my students will come and visit me too..
such a diehlema!! Maybe after my dose of Avacodo juice can think more calmly...Thank god for lonnngnnngg weekend!!
Happy Easter All btw!!
