Delivery at NUH

This is how the delivery suite looks like for National university hospital(NUH). I delivered all my 4 children in Nuh as I had pleasant experiences for all. The nurses were patient and the doctors were also experienced( u can refer to my birth frenzy). I simply love how they try to make me feel comfortable even though I am in pain. They also try to lighten up the mood. With regards to the bill, it is estimated to be between $2k-$3k for a two day stay.

After delivery, as I have chosen B1, I was transferred to this ward. For B1, it's 4 bedded and fully air conditioned. I chose B1 as the hubster can't stay overnight due to the need to care for the other children esp. Nadya. It was good to have some company rather than being alone. That's how paranoid I am. It was a great experience. Nurses were friendly even the food servers were super nice. They put everything nicely for you to have your meals.

As a new mom, when you are discharged, you will receive a new mom delivery bag.

It contains two packages- one for mummy and one for baby.

For mommy, it contains

For nappy rash

Starter kit from the brand Kodomo- I love the smell of Kodomo.

Diaper sample from Mamypoko

For baby 

It contains

Starter kit from Johnson baby

Diaper sample from Drypers

Sample from dettol- great for traveling purposes 

Sample from kool fever

Introduction to the brand Avent - breast pad, 20% voucher, nipple cream and also breast pump pamphlet plus a bio degradable bag (which can be used for grocery shopping)

Books that can help guide u through with the first month and also if you are planning baby's first month.

I managed to look through the items after one week of bed rest. I will share with you guys what happened after the delivery. There were  few things that I experienced which i had not experienced when I had my other three. Even my mum noticed the difference so did the hubster. The diaper samples are great for mummies who have yet to decide which diapers to use. Usually for other samples, I will use it for travelling(this is a great idea only if your baby doesn't have sensitive skin). I like to look through the books as even though I am a mum to 3 other children. A lot have changed so as a mum we must keep up with the new things in the "mum world". I saw how great other hospitals offer for delivery but I chose NUH because of 3 factors

1. convenience as my house is very near to NUH
2. familiarity - even though there were some changes to the building structure and also the prices, I am fully aware of the whole process
3. The gynae that I am familiar with is there.

I am sharing my experience so that new mums can see and compare the different hospitals. I strongly recommend Prof Biswas from NUH as he was patient and caring.
