First time to-be dad - How was your experience at KKH Private?

My wife has been under the care of Dr. Samantha Yeo since the beginning of her pregnancy, and we’ve opted for private care from day one. As we approach the delivery date, I’ve been reading various posts and comments, but I’m still a bit confused and would really appreciate some clarification on a few things: We are planning to go for an A1 ward, and all our consultations so far have been in the private setting. On the actual day of delivery, will my wife be assured of getting an A1 ward? Since Dr. Yeo has been seeing my wife throughout her pregnancy, we would like her to also be the one delivering the baby. As the due date approaches, is it possible to choose or schedule a date for normal delivery, or is it typically something that happens suddenly and unpredictably? Lastly, could anyone share their experience with the A1 ward—specifically, what the overall experience is like and how the service differs compared to B1 and below? Thanks so much in advance for your insights and advice! It means a lot to us as first-time parents navigating through all of this. #Needadvice #firsttimemom #AskingAsAMom #pregnancy

A1 ward means private room, not sharing with anyone else. Can’t really compare the speed or hospitality of service because it is supposed to equal regardless of class
