Wow jofeny... if you can still remember, can please tell us what items that we can actually bring ourselves to save all these ridiculous costs??
I've noted down:
Cotton balls (does it have to be cotton bals? those facial cottons cannot?)
Maternity Pads
Panty
Extra diapers (just in case)

TMC gave the steralised kind and they advised use boiled water to put on the cotton. But i dun think there is a need for it to be steralised. its basically to clean your breast before bb sucks on it.
when im back home after the 4 days, i use the normal kind of cotton (Watson facial kind) but i use boiled water to damp it though.
Now i even use tissue paper, baby is 3 months old already.

Diapers dun need to bring extra i think. They will give you 1 pack of huggies new born to be used there. i think mine upon discharge still have at least 5 left.. and on discharge day itself, they will give u another brand new pack.
I also wear their hospital top throughout.. didnt change to my own PJ. Cos their clothes is looser and more comfy.
also they will dress the baby up in their TMC new top and wrapping towel, u can still bring your own clothes if u wan.

I didn't put breastpad then because breast still not capable of leaking milk then. I brought my breast pump to the hospital to encourage my supply to come faster. They provide basic toiletries. But I didn't really shower there cos I c sect, I only use wipe. N they provide the puree baby wash shampoo... Those that u need not really rinse kind. They provide the mouth wash for gargle. Jus bring extra maternity pads, cotton n disposable panty to avoid additional charges, other than that is ok.

If by then u r not in pain n can walk, they wun insist u to b on wheelchair unless u request. If u r doing c sect, they will get u on lie on bed in the ward n push u to the holding area n then push u to the op theater.

Oh ya mummies, I have 4 Tmc carpark coupon to let go if anyone is interested. Selling at 4 pieces for $15, one at $5. By mail.
The carpark coupon is still payable at $3 per entry (meaning, u still have to pay $3 from your cash card. But irregardless of the duration u park there.)
I stayed in single suite then n they Gave me quite a few carpark coupon. You can also check with the Tmc counter how many coupons u can receive based on the number of beds u selected.
My bro visited me from 8am to 1pm & he paid $17 for the carpark. It's crazy. The coupon is good if your parents n in laws will b in the hospital for long, then they dun have to worry abt parking longer.
My Gynae n PD r still at Tmc, i can still use but thought that if any mummy need then you can utilize the coupon better.
The coupon is valid for 6 months starting from 9th apr (my bb delivery date). So any mummy delivery in Aug n Sept shd b able to use this coupon without much issue.
If interested just drop me a message.

I stayed in 2 beded and was given 3 car park coupons and I dun get the purée baby shampoo wash, neither they given me cotton ball to wipe my breast... N the nurse did not ask me to do so.... I was given cotton ball n lotion prescribe by my gynea for the wound...
There is a big diff between service provided to one beded n 2 beded... Overall I m not totally satisfied with TMC... If I were to give birth again, I will chose Mount A.
