Mt. A or TMC?

[Carolyn_Y]

Hello, first time mom here. I've been comparing maternity packages of these 2. Quite confusing because as per MOH site, Mt. A is more expensive but if I check individual websites of the 2 hospitals, TMC is more expensive.

My doctor delivers in TMC only but Im having thoughts on switching (good thing it is still early enough for me) because of the bill shocking incidents I've read about on the forums for TMC. Besides, I liked the good reviews on lactation specialists in Mt.A.

Can you kindly share your thoughts on this? Which is really more expensive - Mt.A or TMC? If the price difference is not a lot, which hospital would you prefer? If you choose Mt.A, can you please recommend a gynae?

Thanks.

I cant comment on TMC since I have only given birth once n dat was in Mt A. My experience there was great as d nurses n lactation consultants r v friendly n helpful.

Having said dat, I have friends who love TMC, n has commented dat they can rest well knowing d nurses there will handle most things.

It's really individual preference. Costs wise, I dont think they will vary much if it's normal delivery since d delivery package would have included certain items. U just need 2 check wif individual hospitals wat items r included n wat r not when u (if u do) go 4 d hospital tours.

Thanks a lot for your advice. Will try to consider attending those tours then.
