Hi, I am abt 31 weeks pregnant with twins and due to deliver in KK sometime in Dec. Can anyone advise on the following?
a) Likely c-section cos twins -- does KK provide the 'binder' or 'girdle' after the c-section or am i suppose to bring my own?
b) I can only choose premier or B1 else my gynae won't be the one delivering for me. Dr says that if I deliver at 32 weeks, then babies will need to be in NICU for anything from 1-2 weeks. I hope to apply to downgrade after I get discharged from the hospital -- anyone familiar with how they do the 'means testing' to determine if you qualify for the downgrade?
Though I went to the KK admissions office, I am frankly still confused over how they charge...particularly their costs for NICU. If anyone has experience with the downgrading process and costs for NICU (like a 1 week or 2 weeks stay), appreciate if you can share.
Thank you....

1) no girdle - bring yr own
2) c-sect, regardless classic or premium, will b yr gynae do the op for U. Choose classic bec cheaper than premium.
A, B1, B2 are ward type - nothing to do with which gynae op on U.
3) if u take ward A, and yr twins need nicu, they will be charged at A rate. To save cost, take B ward.
I initally taken Premium A ward (for V birth). But last min undergone emer c-sect. Baby had to be warded under special care due to distress. The admin staff came on 2nd day and told us to apply for downgrade so bb charges is based on B ward instd of A ward (bb rate is tagged to type of ward the mom is in).

KKH disciplines staff involved in incident

My Paper
By Gwendolyn Ng
The KK Women's and Children's Hospital (KKH) has pinpointed a lapse that could have led to the swopping of two babies last month, and taken several staff to task.
At a media conference yesterday, KKH said the incident was triggered by a series of errors, including placing the two babies in the wrong cots and not checking the babies' ankle identification tags during the discharge process (see sidebar).
The hospital also disciplined three nurses who were directly involved in the incident, as well as their two supervisors.
In total, 17 staff working in the ward where the mix-up occurred were given warnings or counselled.
Professor Kenneth Kwek, KKH's chief executive, said the staff did not adhere to protocol, but said that the oversight was an isolated incident.
After speaking to the staff, he said some felt that as there were many layers of checks, they did not think anything would go wrong.
So, they felt that it was not so essential to do checks on their end.
"This is the message we need to get across to our staff... When it comes to patient identification and patient care, you must be accountable for your own actions, not rely on your colleagues," Prof Kwek said.
Following the incident, KKH stepped up measures to tighten its process of identifying newborns, by implementing the 15 recommendations made by a four-member review committee which was convened to look into the incident (see sidebar).
KKH will also enforce additional measures, such as informing the mother when a baby's tag is replaced and getting her to verify that it has been done correctly.
