Zenn,
4k should be enough. For me, my cost is based on emer c-section.
For my first delivery, i even went to normal delivery suite to sit around for two times cos mine was induction birth. but lucky gynae only record as emer c-section. otherwise, it will burn a big hole in my pocket. cos they never charge me for the use of the normal delivery suite.
But my fren who deliver in NUH with the same scenario, they charge her 2 times the normal delivery and 1 time c-section. But lucky her time she stay 4 bedded and most of it claimable from CPF then. Otherwise, she will also faint.

yup correct, icylemon. The amount you pay upon discharge is after deducting medisave claim. But do remember got to pay deposit during admission...think TMC is $600 for 4 bedded, $800 for 2 bedded and $1K for single bedded.

icylemon: Yes that's right.
bb milk, if financially can make it, go for it. i find that preg is tough so we should pamper ourself. MIL want me to stay in 4 bedded for my 1st preg. then i ask hubby tell her if she is not paying for it, no comments pls.
As for hubby, he got no choice cos he know i very xiao jie. what's more is he is the one who want kid more than i do. so i told him, i sacrifice my body and he sacrifice his pocket lor.

Hi mummies!
Zenn, so nice to see u y'day.. sorry had to cabut b4 u s I haven had lunch n was rushing to meet someone at 4 so had to make a dash.
Birdnest
Mayb i can share some personal experience and knowledge abt BN since it was e topic just. I personally have been taking BN for the last 6-7 years and I take it twice a week. Stress period or bz period, I up it to 3 or 5 times a week.
I normally get my Brands BN from Bangkok as it is chockful of birdnest and easy to consume. I u purchase good quality, u shouldn worry abt feathers as they are cleaned very well, just need to soak and pop in slow cooker. I develop asthma only in adulthood n was very bad, takin BN helped to soothe, moisturise and build up my lungs. On e contrary it doesn bring abt asthma except that a low quality one that is full of feathers may just do that. I personally have no prob. The LHK one is good, if scared of sugar, opt for the sugar-free but it is really no taste lah.. I jus finished 1 bottle of LHK sugar free, 2 tbsp a day lasted me 3 weeks. It costs $138/bot. I feel it reasonable as quality is good n no preservative. Now m back to Brands and m taking 5 days a week. Brands oso have sugar-free but not sure if Spore carries.
this.
Hashima
Hashima have very similar properties as BN but pple prefer e former as the latter if not well prepared can have a fishy/strong smell/taste. Hashima is not very cooling but 'zi-ren'. So if want can still take mayb once a week or once a fortnight.
Of course there is another way of of 'zi-ren'.. a cheaper alternative oso very good esp for chronic coughs and asthma. You can buy the 'xue-er' and double boil e same way as BN. But u need to get those that will melt. There are 2 kinds, one that retains the shape and the other that melts. The medicinal hall will know. Rinse the snow-ear and prop into slow cooker at 10pm, let it simmer till next morning, add some rock sugar b4 consuming. Eat it 1st thing on empty stomach and it is as good as BN. In fact, BN oso good to take first thing on empty stomach or b4 sleep at least 1-2 hours aft meal. This will ensure max efficacy.
Hope this will shed some light.

serrich, is your baby awake now?
Zenn, I buy my lot from Chinatown, a teochew lady.. I only know how to go to her shop but don know the name! Jialat right? hahah! Jus like I only know how to go to my sis' pl but don ask me addy! hahah! I normally pay $27-28 per box of 6 normal size. There is oso the smaller sized bottle which is cheaper but the larger one more worth it. I get it from BKK as e quality is v diff from spore. Spore ones very liquidy, this very thick like LHK's.
Babymilk, pls don go near the birds then! Mayb u try snow ear, as it is almost as good.

Preg4, I did not really feel pain when injecting the epidural.
Btw, I think if I finally choose single bedded, I will go to Eastshore for delivery. About $300 cheaper than TMC if I am not wrong.

my tolerance for pain is really low. i scare of needles. during my first del, i find that the empi and the drip is the killer. other than that, every thing is ok.

Preg 4 a 2nd one,
I dun remember feeling much pain when he administered the epidural lor. He also talked to me like a little kid.. Asked me to take in deep breathe, imagine myself as a balloon taking in as much air as i could.. then ask me to hold my breathe and then let go of the air, etc.. Come to think of it, its quite funny lor.. I was damn scared of the pain so i followed his instructions closely.. Kekeke..
aquarius,
