never experience such. during my time I had many people coming into my ward to see me during the day. Even recently my colleague sis-in-law deliver there never hear her said any thing about such issue. Did you face that prob? normally is ok to have kids & people in the ward as long as they dont create a scene.

i think veronica is concerned abt e visitor rule because of e swine flu outbreak.. only 2 visitors are allowed each time.. i havent been to mt a recently so im not too sure but i believe e same rule still applies since e number of swine flu cases are still increasing..
veronica, i think u should call mt a n ask.. =)

i just gave birth at Mt A 1week plus ago...
its 2 visitor per visit not including hubby and visiting hour is 11am-2pm and 6pm-8pm..
but there was once my mum came with my uncle, auntie and my eldest son... i think they also close one eye la..
kids can come cos my hubby bring my DD to visit me during my last day...

hi, i juz gave birth at mt a 3wks back. actually their rule is 2person each time but my family & friends also came by to visit me. my hubby is at the hospital with me daily, he will go home at night. kids are ok to go in too, the hospital is not so stict as to restrict kids from entering so not to worry.
Thanks for all your input.
May I know what do I need to bring for bb? This is my 1st time delivering in MT A as my #1 i was in TMC and basically if i remember correctly, they gave everything include mittens for the bb and receiving blanket.
I was told I need to bring clothing for bb..what to bring?

Thanks Wenz,
So during hospital stay i dont need to bring clothing for my baby, just need 1 set for discharge?
Actually i went for the hospital tour but quite lousy , they didnt say much, just show you the room, delivery suite and the menu they serve.
Things like what to bring, what they give (they only emphasize on the free bath tub) go where check in etc werent told.

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.
