hello, im going to Mt Alvernia cos my gynae only delivers either in Mt A or TMC.

Read from some articles that Gleneagles provides a very good confinement for mum (specially arranged by Yu Ren Sheng) and mummy get free flow of red dates longan tea throughout her. there are even dvd player in their ward as well... haha. Whereas for Mt A, there are well known for their caring and helpful nurse & lactation consultant. i suggests you go for their maternity tour to see which hospital suits you best =)

hi rellako, wat makes u choose Mt A over TMC? is it the things u've pointed out in ur post? anymore more good things abt Mt A? because i'm gg TMC to see doc, but my hubby recently told me his friends say Mt A is better and told him to switch... i haven't checked if my gynae delivers at Mt A too...

Hi felicity,

I am also going to Mt A. The nurses there are friendly & approachable. I had my prenatal course there... i had the nurses assisting me all the way to the class when I can't find my way.

The rooms & delivery room there makes u feel very cosy & like your own home. They will provide u with whatever u need.

TMC seems to be very commericalize now.. sometimes due to alot of mummies at the delivery room giving birth on that particular season.. nurses may not be as friendly. Some nurse will scold u if you can't BF or urine after delivery. Most of my friends recommended Mount A... TMC so far alot of bad feedback.

My gynae used to delivered at Mount A & TMC. But now he prefer delivering only at Mt A.

*Heard that Mt A the confinement meals are very gd...Yummy

hello, i delivered my #1 at TMC and had some bad experience with their midwives and nurses. they are quite unfriendly, rough and fierce to both mummies and babies (well, thats in my opinion, maybe i suay lor.) hahahah

a few incident which i can still rmb:

1. my hubby requested for something hot for me to drink, it reach me after very long and its very cold lor.

2. my mum also quarrel with the nurse there due to their rudeness.

3. i dilated faster and was gonna give birth before my gynae arrive and i told the midwives that. to my horror, they close my legs and ask me to wait. but i can really feel the pressure down there already. it was a bad experience for me.

4. my hb was having some light snacks or hot beverage (i cant rmb which) inside my labour room while waiting tgt. the nurse scolded my hubby.

so nah, am not gonna go there again. never ever again! discount i also dont want to go back ah! haha

Hi, I delivered my #1 in Mt A and will be delivering #2 at Mt A too... My gynae delivers in both Mt A & TMC, I chose Mt A as there are more carpark lots, more accessible for my hubby & my visitors... TMC's carpark very miserable, muz wait damn long or they may help u to park at another carpark which is very very faraway where u gota take their shuttle bus to fetch ur car...

My first experience with Mt A was very good, nurses & lactation consultant were very helpful & approachable & friendly... The hospital ambience is good too... Will highly recommend Mt A.. :)

Hi Dilys,

Yes, I agree with you that male gynaes are generally much better. But to each his own.

By the way, any feedback on Mount Elizabeth Hospital? My gynae only delivers there. Seems like I don't have much choice like others do now since i'm getting comfortable with my gynae...
