hey thks for sharing! who's ur wife's gynae btw?My wife is at 20 weeks now so i can only share general observation i have on both hospitals.
Thomson Medical Center:
I think it is more ex than MAH. Some folks say Thomson Medical Center equipment is gettin old (correct me if i'm wrong). Personally I feel Thomson Medical Center is very cold metallic feelin, really like hospital kind.
MAH:
I went for the hospital tour (you can call 63476636 to book) and genrally felt very homely and cosy. dont really have the hospital feeling on the whole. I think it is cheaper then Thomson Medical Center. Likely we will go ahead with the double room booking (four bedded like very noisy; single bed my wife feels lonely so double bed is the balance. also their family suite is like hotel room). I am not a Catholic btw.

I really Njoy staying at Mt A the Service is good and nurse is very friendly. By the way last time my mum also give birth to me @ Mt A.

Hi mrs morgan,
i'm not sure about Mt. A cos I deliver my baby at Thomson Medical Center and i find all the nurses there very hospitality and they do have quite good service cos whenever i ask anything from them, they can respond quite fast and i really had a pleasant stay after my delivery thru out .. and its also very cosy like hotel style cum home cos they just renovated mid of last year so everything is new...
> The nurse there is really helpful, first few days i got problem with breastfeeding and they have been guiding me.
and as i opt for single bedded, i have more privacy there and enjoy a peaceful rest without others disturbing me together with my hubby staying with me and also his meals provided and we can even request for the baby to stay with us thru the nite and its really a private room just for you and your family... and if i'm not wrong, the charges is 2nd cheapest other than Kandang Kerbau Hospital...
Hi Annie, i agree with you...i also opt for the single bedded, staying in the newly renovated room, its so nice and i will still choose TMC for my 2nd pregnancy!
My gynae is Dr Lawrence Ang from Sembawang Thomson Medical Center clinic and i must say that his charges are quite reasonable compare to Thomson Medical Center hospital itself cos the prices there is slightly higher but can get your results faster and my gynae is very experience, 'zai' and professional... and my bill come up to 5k odd including everything but after medisave i only pay 2k plus cos i ask for epi and also mine is induced labour + assisted labour, therefore charges are higher when add all these up... and it will only cost about 3k plus for total bill excluding medisave deductions if by normal birth... my hubby even praise Thomson Medical Center services as well as my gynae's professionalism.. i will still choose the same hospital and gynae for my 2nd birth...
> Is Lawrence Ang good? My cousin is pregnant now and is choosing him, heard he's very cheap wor...As for mine, its caseran, everything also got additional charges for the operating theathre, gynae and anethesis additional charges. Didnt choose the odd timing, my timing is at 11am but still got all these add on charges, total bill is 8K.. Hubby paid abt 3 k plus in cash.

So far I'm quite happy with Lawrence Ang cos I really feel comfy with him when he does the chks on me, he will always ask how are you n ur baby and if everythings is fine when you step into his rm and he will ask if there's anything you wanna know or ask after his chk...even my hubby likes him too... his charges quite reasonable, cheaper than the tmc gynaes who are located at the tmc hospital itself.. and he's always very gentle and courteous and best of all, very experienced, calm n skillful... and he's a non-epi gynae but if you really cant take the pain and the delivery timing is still way ahead, he will allow you to take epi if you request for it just like me... =)Hi mrs morgan,

Oh urs is c-section sure to be more ex, who's ur gynae btw n hw ur cousin find Lawrence Ang so far?
care to share how much ur total bill was? TIA!!My #1 was delivered in Thomson Medical Center and recently (last week infact) my #2 was at Mt A.
I used to like Thomson Medical Center (I never have prob with parking since there is always a valet service there) until I stayed at Mt A.
The nurses there are superb esp from the nursery ward. When you tell them you want TBF, they are really on the "ball" type. Every 2-3hrly, they will push my baby to me and help me latch on EVERYTIME without fail.
During my Thomson Medical Center time, even though I told them TBF, I got to know from the nurses that some will offer supplement at night. (I guess it depends on the nurse on duty too). And whenever they pushed my son in to my ward, they only help to latch on the 1st day (when I was still bedded due to c-sect), sub night, I was on my own..
The confinement food there is fantastic, I am not sure about Thomson Medical Center standard now since its 4 yrs ago but Mt A is really really good. Each time i looked forward to the lunches/dinners.
And recently the medisave claim has already increased so for those given birth before June (I think effectively in June) and after that, the difference and savings is alot to me.
I havent got my bill yet. I stayed in 1 bedded and since its on c-sect epi, i expect to pay around 3.5 cash (my gynae does provide an estimation based on their recent bill from patient)care to share how much your total bill was? TIA!!
