Kkh subsidized birth & ward experience

Hi ftm here i still havent decide if i want to stick to kkh subsidized to save money or change to private so i can get A1 ward(mainly cause i want my husband to stayover, but also scared the bill will be too expensive) Can mummies share your experience giving birth @ kkh under subsidized and how was the hospital stay/ward? Is the ward air conditioned? Is it noisy? And can husband be with us after delivery when we are pushed to our ward? For normal with no complication, we would need to stay 1 or 2 nights there ? #firsttimemom

Just tell you save all those money and go for subsidised. I was so impressed by the team of midwives and docs, they followed everything written in my birth plan. I had a total of 3 pages! I was treated with utmost respect no different from a VIP while in the delivery suite. My husband who is a China national was so shock that he could stay in the suite and the nurses treated him so politely, it was entirely the opposite in China when his sister gave birth. Anyway I only stayed one night in a B1 ward and I was discharged next day in the afternoon so makes no difference if I was staying in a private A ward I still had to stay up all night to breastfeed the baby with my colostrum. My milk haven’t even came in. She was crying the whole night hungry for milk. i had to try BFing her every 2 hours, the nurse will always come in to check. if my husband was with me it will be useless anyway. What could he do?

Overall I m quite happy with KKH service (ward A1). The nurses and doctors were very polite and helpful. The process was systematic too. I can’t compare cos I m FTM. 😁 that was my only experience
