Alpha78 6th Gear July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 that was what i did at Gleneagles 15 years ago, i accompany my wife overnight while rushing for my thesis seduced you mean That was what I couldn't do this year at the same hospital... Wifey preferred me to go home and sleep, and prepare the stuff for baby's return. And yes, that's the place with $10 valet parking, $22 per 24 hours, $3.20 per hour after the first 30 minutes. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Personally your comfort also severely downgrade. 4 bedder, u be lucky got enough space for a chair. If u not staying overnight or not much family visiting it's still bearable. Visiting hour, good luck. Yup, I understand that there will definitely be a difference in comfort but I think it is worth saving since it is only 2 days. I won't scrimp on safety though! i presume she is going for normal delivery? your first child? better to book a 1 bedder then downgrade to 2 or 4 bedders than to book a 4 bedder then try to upgrade there are limited 1 bedders around your wife may be ok with sharing room before delivery but you never know if she changes her mind after that Yes first child. I think I'll probably go for 2 bedder. My wife won't insist on changing la. I've taught her the value of money well. 2 bedder is quite good since govt subsidies, like you say 2 night. If c-sec need 4 nights then shiong If not peak period, you can even sleep on the other bed overnight Hmmm, you mean 2 bedder for private hospital has subsidies as well? Anyway, I am hoping for natural delivery. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusje Supersonic July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 Wait he kenna sedated and wheeled away for op on his left bola... seduced you mean Much better That was what I couldn't do this year at the same hospital... Wifey preferred me to go home and sleep, and prepare the stuff for baby's return. And yes, that's the place with $10 valet parking, $22 per 24 hours, $3.20 per hour after the first 30 minutes. Hmm, you mean Gleneagles didn't give you any free parking for staying there? So far I heard TMC and Mount Alvernia will provide. Anyway, for Gleneagles, I might just jog home or take a short bus trip. The problem is their 2 bedder is a good 1.3k more expensive than Mount Alvernia and they don't even have 4 bedders. https://www.moh.gov.sg/content/moh_web/home/costs_and_financing/HospitalBillSize/delivery_normal.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusje Supersonic July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 wah choose so atas hospital but so ngiao your home location seems very atas also No choice la. My wife went to KKH (85% subsidy from her company for doctor fees) but she said the doctors there cannot make it and insisted on changing to private doctor so suck thumb lor. Now private doctor no subsidy at all. Home location not atas la. Homeless so staying with my parents till my place in woodlands is ready next year. Convenient mah. I waited a whole day for my wife to deliver. Please don't eat at the TMC cafeteria. It's hospital food. At least the alvernia cafeteria serves decent food. TMC - I'll probably eat at Delifrance. Mount Alvernia - only had the free drink at the café so far but it really did seem okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lala81 Hypersonic July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 if u have the FBI/SBI card, remember u get 10% off delifrance. Dinner u can walk across and tabao sze char if no family members visiting u and bringing u food. No point in getting the meal option if u don't stay over. I did that a lot during my first child cos its c-sect and my wife was weak. Stayed 3 nights. 2nd one, i only did it for the day after she delivered. Lol i ate 3 meals of delifrance just waiting for the delivery, so i already sian even before hospital stay started. Lol. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, single bedder for other hospitals also provide meals but the price is equally Doesn't matter. Day time I parked at Botanic Gardens and walk over. Only $1 per hour. Food wise, there's always the foodcourt downstairs, beats paying through your nose for the suite with hospital food. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also dun want to order their food. personally I dun see it as reasonable ... but can't do anything about it. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
