lawshe, i'm delivering @ TMC and I got 2 PJ dress with front button. I guess as long as it's front button shd be good , easy for bfdg
Bean, only TMC ambulance or those belonging to the hospital will send you to the respective hospital, public one will bring you to the nearesr hospital.
Nicole, they will provide you the surgery gown in the delivery suite. I deliver my #1 in Mt E, they make me change into the gown once I went to the delivery suite.
LawShe, the gowns are for you to wear in the hospital during your stay and front button is for easy bfding. I get to nitegown(pj) and bring along a set of going home wear.
Jul, changing mat is a must to bring bb out, at home we can use the waterproof mat to change bb but outside, we need to use the changine mat. Lots of wipes.

Sharon, me too get your hp liao, hope you got mine too.
Lawshe, I am asking my cousin to book for me coz she works in PA but was told it required 3 months for booking so keeping my finger crossed that we will get it. If not I will have to find other source, coz MIL sure very unhappy if I have it at my mum's place. Might have to ask my friend whether I can use Civil Service Club at Bukit Batok if cannot get PA chalet. Really a headache.

Singapore is a lot more bb friendly compared to 2006 when i had my #1. Back then, u can't get changing rooms let alone nursing rooms. I remember i ever have to bf my boy in a fitting room in a small shop at harbour front. When we go out, we've to check to make sure they've facilities for diaper changing and nursing coz most don't provide that. Now most places are at least equipped with diaper changing room. Or a small little corner room for nursing. The fancier places like Raffles City even has those small chairs for u to put your toddler in it while u pee. (i still don't dare use it coz some pp throw rubbish or burn them with cigarette butts!).

Singapore is also alot more bb friendly now compared to many other countries. Many countries really believe that kids should stay at home! We've to change my boy on his stroller out in the open several times.

Sharon, I dun have my own place to stay coz my place is still rented out and I am in Sg only till end of December. Can do at my mum but I am sure MIL and unmarried BIL will show bad face and then dh will get more nasty remarks from his mum and bro. Coz when they could not pick on a fight with me a couple of weeks back as I could not bother with them, they attacked dh over skype conference till dh was really down.
Pris, looks like we r having hte same headache.. i am also eyeing Aloha Loyang cos hubby can book but i tink the booking is block for "quranteen" (not sure if i spell them correctly) for H1N1.
I have come up with another backup plan but my hubby is not too favourable of the idea.. Haiz.... sux ley.....

maybe u can try safra country club.

lawshe: whats ur backup plan?
actually, i think even if lets say aloha loyang is cleared and cna book by then, ur guest might not wanna go...
i had a friend who had this experience during sars.. pple didnt wanna go for the party, cos they worry maybe still got some bugs lingering there.

Baby S, i am thinking of a clubhse which i am closely linked up with, however not quite accessible for those who dun drive and this is something that my hubby is concern of, particularly if his relatives cant find the location. hence, i need to find alternatives..
for Aloha Loyang, i do agree w u that the guest might not wanna come.. but part of me dun like the idea cos i am not sure if the place is entirely clean...

lawshe: yeah lor... esp if u are bringing baby there, gotta be even more cautious..
but aloha loyang also a bit inaccessible in a way if u dont catch the shuttle bus and if u dont drive... sp maybe its a bit the same as the clubhouse? hee..
and clubhouse, once u are done, no need to clean up... in chalet have to clean up a bit, cos u'll be staying there and u dont want the insects and ants to come.

Mashy, Safra Country Club is another option.
Sharon, I will not go to Aloha even it can be booked by then, coz like wat BB S said. Was telling dh if he dun big mouth and tell his mum side, just give cakes to his mum's relatives since I do not see them and they did not even give anything to #1. As for my side, I need to throw a buffet coz once they know bb borned, ang pow and hampers will be delivered to me so paisey must have buffet.

pris,
same thing will happen to me...so i decide to separate my relatives wif his mum's relatives...wedding dinner they already make us lose $...so i will cater cheaper buffet for his mum's relatives, no choice still haf to do cos its first grandson for them but do at their place...then my own relatives n frends do at my mum's place so my MIL cant interfere

Sharon, MIL made us really embarrassed during #1, asked her how many boxes of cakes she needed, she said just one box for herself would do, all her relatives and friends did not need, then when the cakes arrived, she took and distribute to her relatives and friends, we ended up not enough to give to friends and colleagues who gave us big ang pow. And she had the cheeks to tell dh, you order so many boxes mah, how I know all are for your friends and colleagues.
BabyS/Prisc, no need for cleaning is an ideal factor for making clubhse our choice.. have yet to find the ideal location so my search will continue..
my hubby had all along wanted to throw a buffet at his place, but this being his place n not our home, i reject the idea. i also dun wan my parents and my relatives to have the wrong idea that my in-laws look down on them..
outsource is the best option for me..
for those who are staying near Jurong, can consider Chevoron, i being there once for a bb bash and the environment nt bad.. worth considering.. out of way for me so i eliminate the tot completely......

BB S, I will just send her a box, anyway, I dun even know all her relative, I dun even see the gifts they give, let alone know whether they give or MIL have kept them. You can imagine how pek chek I was when ordering the buffet when she told me she has less than 10 guests and her guests were like close to 30 with families, good thing I was smarter than DH, I order 80 pax of buffet as my relatives was close to 40 and close friends so all in all, we have close to about a hundred attend. DH took his mum word for word did not order extra cakes that's why. I told him, can't he tell he has an idiotic mum who dun do think according to wat she said.
my hubby just left for his evening class, in-laws left for wedding dinner n i am alone at home... sigh... not sure if i gonna wait for hubby to return at 10pm then go for late dinner or i settle w bread
Prisc, i cant imagine ur MIL take the cake n distribute without asking.. i bet the same episode will surface for me if my MIL dun make clear how mani boxes of cakes she need..
n from what i know, i bet not all my relatives will tun up for my bb bash cos they r all quite old n travelling can be a problem......
hubby's side is a much bigger family and i bet the cakes for them will cost me quite a fair bit...

Baby S, sometimes dh is too filial till his mum and my unmarried bil also take advantage of him and it is also his strength and weakness to be said. Dun overexert yourself!! Make sure you go grab some food.
Mashy, yalor, during Kai time was bad and also SARs then haaahaa.

Baby S, I was craving for Ban Mian yesterday, then took the seafood ban mian at JP, not as good as the one in Toh Guan haahaa. Heard Qiu Lian Ban Mian is very good.
Hopefully, dh learnt his lesson, coz he is always taken for granted by his mum and unmarried bro, also takes him like a servant, a chauffer etc.
Sharon, haahaa, I will do that deliver 10 boxes to her place.
