Just delivered my boy in may (also during swine flu period), realised they are not so strict in the visiting rule. Stayed in 2 bedded ward, my neighbour had her whole family (more than 5 people excluding hubby) visiting her... I think so long s there is no complaints, should be fine. My hubby & friends stayed until after 8pm (visiting hours is until 8pm) also no issue...

Generally I think Mount A not bad, will still go there again for my 2nd baby... Nice environment, charges still affordable (alot $ saved by using medisave). But I experienced few of the nurses not very friendly, of cause there are many other friendly & helpful nurses around.

bad Encounter:
1 nurse after I delivered keep asking me to pee... but since never drink anything, nothing came out. And she never explained the purpose of doing so. Then she warned that if I unable to do so, she will put a tube in to remove the urine. I was so stressed then. After I finally managed to do it (after drinking a few glasses of water), then I realised they just want to ensure I can still urine & amt is ok...

Good Encounter:
Another nurse saw that I had difficulty bf my boy, helped & teached me with patience & even tipped me how to latch him on.

usually local nurse are nicer..

about the pee the nurse got explain to me.. Cos they wanna make sure ur urine system is fine after epidural ( if u no epi they wont force u pee ) if u cant pee is very serious.. They oso need to make sure u can stand up and walk, oso to make sure after epi u r fine

Agreed with Lonerjas..

Do not pamper your babies too much and is really quite impossible for the nurses to attends to all the babies and i think sg hospital also dun provide 1 to 1 care services to your babies no matter how many bedded u choose..

Dear Ladies,

How come no one here mention anything about the labour ward? I heard of some hospital's lousy labour ward, having only curtains to divide the sections.

Can anyone share with me, how is the labour ward of Mt A? Is it a room to yourself or shared with others?

Imagine sharing the labour ward with another mummy screaming all the way, even if you can be calm and not afraid, after hearing them screaming away, it will somehow affect you isn't it?

Please advise. Thank you.

I was told by my gynae's nurse that all labour rooms at Mt A are single-bedded, i.e you hv the room to yourself. This is my 3rd child and I delivered my previous 2 kids in KKH and SGH respectively. I hvt come across a labour room where I hv to share with others.

dun worry... the delivery suite is single bed for all.. You may attend their Maternity tour for Free and just take you 1hours. They will show u their delivery suite and all the different bed room if availble.

Dear shopaholic, apple_san & kenxf_03,

Thanx for the info. I think I will go for the hospital tour as well to have a look. But now, I am not sure if I should go for Mt A, TMC or Gleneagles.

I know for the fact dat Gleneagles is the most ex among these 3 hospitals. I have Mt A in mind, cos of a few visits to my friends there, and I like the environment; peaceful and serene. I dont like TMC's lobby, cramped and old, the worst is the parking! But heard dat the rooms and facilities not bad. As for Gleneagles, my colleague who went to visit a fren told me dat the service there is good, and everything is new and nice.

Confused.

haha depends on wat ur concerns.. Gleneagles is like high class hosp sure everything is good cos u r paying alot alot more haha..

But if u looking for good and not so exp service Mt A and TMC is good.

For me thumbs up for Mt A. In fact is the cheapest private hosp in SG. Wat's more service oso good. Not like KKH cheap but lousy

Hi February,

I just went for Mt. A Hospital Tour and had a tour in the labour ward, in Mt. A, they provide very spacious single-bedded room for labour ward. Inside equip with all the necessary things require, even got a couch for your hubby to lie down if he's tired. I was told the toilet is shared with another labour ward (2:1). Got CD player, tv, wireless internet and if you require other things like aromatherapy oil, fitness ball etc. It is upon request and it's free under the maternity package. :)

Hi lonerjas,

Thanx for sharing, I have yet to decide to pay more for a better hospital or pay lesser for a reasonably good hospital.

So far, my hubby has been letting me make my own decision, as I am the "Queen" now mah.

So I will probably choose 2 hospitals and go for their tour 1st, before I decide.



Cheers!
