piggy, when they say they will ask permission, they mean that they will ask YOUR permission to upgrade u to another room... cos if u upgrade u have to pay for the upgraded room charges..
(i.e. U choose 4 bedder, but if there are no more 4 bedders and enxt available bed is 2 bedder, they will come ask u first if u want 2 bedder. if u say ok, then u pay 2 bedder charges..)
They dont mean they will ask permission from the business office to upgrade u for free..
Cos when we went for our tour, us together with our whole tour group asked this, and we asked a lot of questions about this, cos the whole group of us were under the impression that TMC gave free upgrades. then the tour pple were very insistant that they will not give free upgrades.. they kept saying "we seek your understanding that there is no free upgrading." they didnt mention this thru out whole tour, until we asked at the end...
Or maybe now that they have renovated and nicer rooms so they gotta be more strict?

my friend's gynae vely ex ah... no package kind.. haha..
her gynae charges alone for the c sec was 3000 plus lor.
i find hor, its getting very common for drs to suggest c sec.. i know of alot of friends who undergo C sec cos their dr suggest, not cos its really necc.. i hope its not becos they wanna save time and wanna make more mummys so they make mothers undergo C sec to their convenience..
i think i heard there is one dr who only does c secs.. cos he very busy.

babyS, yes I have heard of many gynaes who anyhow suggest C-section. Fees more expensive, then also more convenient cos at least the patient won't be calling u in to deliver at 3am. But these kind of gynaes think must avoid cos dun know whether they are really looking after patient's interest.
i preparing stuff for audit today.. everytime i go thru my stats and i spot a potential mistake i panick and give baby a adrenaline rush too..
sigh..
Thank GOd i dont need to work in highly stressful environment man.. no good for so many adrenaline rush to baby.. haha

pardon me, I am really confused, I looked at the maternity package at TMC, it is 2 days, do I take it as 2 days meant 1 nite stay?
http://www.thomsonmedical.com/maternity_pkg.htm
Do the nurses kick out visitors at a certain hour? I will appreciate that if I have noisy neighbour haahaa.
I know that beside the prenatal package to Ob & Gy for some from $550 to $800, there is another charge for the Ob & Gy to attend to you during delivery depending on the dr range from $1200 to $1600 for natural delivery w/o epidural. Then there is also charges for paed who attend to bb.
If epidural is used, think there is a charge for the dr that administer the epidural. Beside the price on the list right?

mich,
yeah, i know can delegate the shopping but i feel like i'm missing out...i want to chose the designs and the colours
Between choosing 1 or 2 bedder in TMC or KKH, TMC is cheaper. also my current gynae in KKH is overwhelmed cos he's the dept head as well, worried that he will not be able to deliver personally despite paying so much.
re: TMC charges
hmm now i am more confused, C section so exp?
yesterday was at the TMC gynae, he gave me the following charges:
Prices After medisave deduction
Delivery : Normal/Forcep or Vacuum / C section
Antenatal Package $550 / 550 / 550
Delivery Package $300 / 300 / 600
Total *$850 / *850 / **1150
*The above includes 2 nights stay in 2 bedder (free upgrade) after medisave deduction
** includes 3 nights stay
Total cash deposit required is between $300 to $500

Ya I agree that the gynaes who anyhow suggest C section shd be avoided. Like my gynae, although i had a long labour, he still insisted we waited and try natural birth. In the end, bb was still naturally born.
Re: TMC charges
Wow, the bill is really hefty. Kind of defeat the purpose of delivering in TMC cos many choose that place cos it is typically more affordable. But seems like it isn't really the case.

babymaking: the gynae's fees vary with each gynae...
i dont know how come this gynae's charges for c sec are so much, but i know, b4 my friend delivered, she had to like pay ala carte prices each time she see dr. almost towards end liao then found out got package price. but still, quite ex..
My friend choose day, so got to pay like $800 more.. but this additional $800 can be like any other's gynae's charges for delivery leh.. vely ex lor.
My friend and her baby had no complications. smooth delivery.

2 days is considered as 2 nites. They won't really kick the visitor out unless they are v noisy. When I give birth to #1, i stay at 2 bedded. My neighbour was v inconsiderate. Talking v loudly the whole day. In e end really can't stay it and we insist to change rm. They allow.
Yes, they will be exact charges for paed and epidural.

babymaking, how abt shop online via a spree on this forum? I know babymallonline has some nice beddings which are cheap. Then u can jus pay to have it delivered to ur place, and u get to choose all the designs and colours
