First time mummy, choosing NUH
2nd trimester now. Any good gynae to recommend? What is the diff between being a subsidised and private patient? Is there alot of diff in terms of cost? Can we upgrade to ward A last minute? Share your experience! Thank youuuu
I'm a ftm and I took the subsidised route. I do not have a preference in gynae so it was fine for me. You save a lot on expenses as well. However, I upgraded my ward to Class A (single bedder) on the day I gave birth as I wanted my husband to stay with me through the night and private toilet (This will depend on availability of the ward as it was not booked beforehand). For private, depending on how popular the gynae is, waiting time can be much longer than subsidised (in my experience). I waited 2 over hours in private as compared to 30 minutes to an hour for subsidised.
