Zill : really ah? my 1st experience there was very very good. Nursing staff very helpful & caring... but 2nd time not so good. Hospital so noisy (even i stayed 1 bedder 1, oso cannot the noise outside), nurses all so busy that some of them were quite impatient, when i needed help - call them to come, waited for half and hour still no response... that's why i considering switching to TMC tis time round... but maybe bcos' they were unstaffed at that time....
Pinkie, I got Braun ear thermometer. Glen gave diaper bag and you can rqt glass bottles from the nursery. If you sign up their maternity package, diaper is incl. I brought my own Karmy dress cos easier for me to bf bb in hosp. Their gown too expose lah. Hehehe... Also brought one set of bb's clothings for him to change when discharged. And of cos camera
Gelato, this yr also stressful abt pr sch for your gal rite? Managed to enrol her in your ideal pr sch?
Sus, I heard it from my cousin, she said that stat boards had alr made that announcement of 4mths ML. Hang on to your job first...
Samval, maybe get a maid to help your parents to take care of your kids?
PVL, you really want to try to keep up with your gynae??? Hahaha... You very brave...

fiona & cjteng....TMC goody bag for hosp tour nothing fantastic...more brochures than anythg else....
looks like there's fair shares of liking for both TMC & MAH....most likely I will be taking TMC le cos sign up for FBI so can get discount on gynae delivery charges + maternity pkgs...sumore my gynae very pro TMC although he does deliver at Mt A too....

gelato,
just my take on my own experience giving birth at TMC. the nurses are very nice and friendly, make you feel very comfortable. the suites were already quite nice before the renovation (i stayed in a one-bedder in Apr 2006); now they are doing major reno for the rooms, and they shd be even better after the reno.
i had nurses who will come by once or twice a day with my son to teach me how to help him latch properly. there is plenty of support for first-time BF mothers.

Piyo, I have emailed to both ur addresses. Maybe u check the junk or spam folder? If still haven't received, let me know, maybe problem is on my side.
zill...I should say these are pretty much additional options ba cos not all will drink red date tea though asians tend to do so....I am not too sure abt the confinement food issue but have read posters in hosps dat one could opt for confinement / special dbl boiled soup of cos at a fee....beta check wif the hosps directly to be sure....=)
gelato: i also dunno leh.... gynae never mentioned anything about their services, only mentioned about their equipment & facilities during delivery time... but like what suika said, TMC parking is a big big headache but what i like about TMC is, they have lots of nice food like mr bean & delifrance!!!

gelato, giggler,
No lah! Hahaha! I'm 40 now. Have to stop after this one. Too risky. Even this one is a risk, but we're going by faith. My gynae says that 7 is 'too many' for him as well. (HAH!) But yesterday he had a busy day and 3 of his kids came by with food for him. So sweet. Have more kids, more kids to look after you too. That's one perspective.
Regarding TMC and Mt A, though I've never delivered in either of these hospitals, I've visited quite a few people at both. I always find Mt A more pleasant than TMC. Firstly the parking. Secondly, I feel that TMC is generally noisier than Mt A. Thirdly, TMC has lots of stairs to climb... when you're heavily pregnant.... But that's just my opinion lah

aiyo why lady bosses like that wan? those that you guys mention above are they married or single? don't worry i believe there is always retribution. i got one very close friend who worked in gov sec and when she was preg, she was discriminated by her male officer. then she resign. now heard that the officer's wife is preg (she works in private sector) and her boss (female) is giving her hard time. hahaha. wat goes around comes around.
me here direct supervisor is lady and married with two kids. then have a male higher ranking than her, and finally the manager, who is also lady. so i have 3 bosses, 2 ladies and one male. all are ok and supportive of preg.

Giggler : yes, we got her in to the sch of our choice. No balloting required, so less stress...
Priviledged : Thanks for ur opinion on the 2 hospitals. =)
Juz curious, how old are your older kids? i suppose they can help to take care of this baby liao... BTW, i oso like to hv many kids - more lively at home... but sometimes they make my blood boil oso lah.... hehe...

suika : yes, unless they change package... i received 1 for both my deliveries there. But baby may outgrow within a few mths time, cos' it's meant for new born... but depends on indiv, my MIL prefers a bigger tub when baby grow bigger, for me i dun really mind, still can use...
wow... seems like every hospitals are improving except my Glenn E hor.
parking is horrendous! and the last time i went to see my SIL in her 1-person ward,though comfy,but everything inside so old looking and wear off. sigh,is the hospital having too many patients at every moment that makes it impossible to renovate and upgrade...
btw, does anyone knows whether does Glen E has the epidural self-adjustment type same as the KK that is reported in the newspaper?
