Sub patient A1 room??

Hi all, im a subsidised patient under KKH but husband wants me to take A1 ward for when after i give birth as he wants to be by my side till i check out and the rest if the wards dont allow husbands to stay. I initially disagreed as it costs 500+ and i feel that it’s a waste of money, but he insists as he is scared, i have asthma & quite a bad sinus & i might have my asthma attack at night or i might be down with sinus or i will be tired and baby might need care at night. So i dont know, should i listen to him or should i just tell him there will be nurses around? I am not so sure as this is my first. He means well, and he has saved up quite alot for baby and me but i was hoping to save on hospital bills so we can spend more on baby. And i would like him to get more rest as he has taken leave for the whole 44 days while im on ‘pantang’ and im already feeling bad cause he will have to take care of me and baby instead of hiring a confinement nanny. What should i do? What should my hubs do? 😔

I’m a subsidised patient in Kkh I just give birth 29 Oct 2021. I initially plan to take A1 ward but during admission the staff explained to me if I pay the price for A1 ward I might not get it if the A1 ward is full after deliver baby. After that I continue as subsidised patient. My husband only managed to stay with me at delivery room. If you know when you will be giving birth and you know that you will have high chance to stay at A1 ward then you continue with your plan because if A1 full they put you in B1 ward which your husband can’t stay over and you paying for A1 price. You have to make choices during admissions because you can’t down grade after you upgrade .
