Selecting a hospital for my delivery.

Just started my pregnancy journey. I am really confused about selecting a hospital for my delivery. I would like to select natural delivery. Which is the best one? Could please share with me your experience with your hospital.

Firstly it depends on whether you would like to have government hospital or private hospital. Then, would you be under subsidy patient or gynae. All hospital do provide natural delivery, caesarean. While, NUH & TMC are the only two hospital that has water birth delivery besides the two other delivery process. From my experience, I am under subsidy patient. First pregnancy was at NUH and currently second pregnancy at KKH. Both hospitals are good, waiting time as subsidy can be long but all in all I can say KKH provides better explanation to everything on your report. They will tell you what's your next appt gonna be about and I have no issues to raise any doubts with explanation needed. Not that NUH are bad, but mostly my appt with NUH can just be "touch and go" esp with doctors & sometimes, I do have student learning doctor on my check up too. In terms of delivery, NUH was good, patience and excellent, despite having on duty doctor attending to me through labour period they don't miss out single information pertaining your progress. You have nurse and midwife with you. They will teach you everything you need to know in labour and very patience with me. They stitch my tearing nicely, they ensure your clot are properly push out and will check on you through the day & night ensuring you are progressing well before discharge. As for KKH, I have yet to experience labour with them. Nervous & excited at the same time because idk what's the process would be and how the experience gonna be. Despite having to hear "some" bad experience from their staff in labour but they are also that have good experience too with them. So far, with my check up all their staff are great and have never experience anything bad. Just little sharing and maybe you can start asking for reviews from different people before you decide.
