hi mummies,
tis thread moves SOOOO fast...read until hei hei chuan.
juz some info i know abt e hospital's free upgrade...
i've friens who popped in GEH, MEH, MAH & TMC, KKH. none have been auto-upgraded b4 except for tis gynae dr lawrence ang. his patients who pop at TMC gets auto-upgrade fr 4bedded to 2bedded. tis means they pay 4bedded charges despite using 2bedded facilities.
i use dr ang but i pop at MAH. dr ang cant promise i'll get free auto-upgrade cos he not a regular at MAH but he did tell me 2 check into a 4bedded.
when i gave birth 2 my 2nd son, husband did e check-in for a 4bedded but after i gave birth (still in e delivery suite), dr ang asked e midwife if i'm able 2 get a free upgrade to 2bedded. MAH cldnt give it 2 me cos left wif very little 2bedded so i switched fr 4bedded to 2bedded. i then paid charges meant for 2bedded.
my GF who used dr ang, popped at TMC, wif epi c-section, only paid $400+ cash for her 4D3N stay (including baby's expenses). she got e free upgrade fr 4bedded to 2bedded.
4 me, i used dr ang, popped at MAH, using natural assisted delivery + epi, paid $600+ cash for my 3D2N stay (including baby's expenses).
i've heard of a few other GFs who used dr ang, popped at TMC n paid <$100 for natural delivery. cant recall if these GFs used epi.
