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? 😔

That’s a nice husband! Dun worry mummy, actually all patients are being care for at kkh, regardless of your class. I downgraded from class A to class C at kkh due to complications but the care that i received was not downgraded. Just that hubby cannot stay with u in the ward. Imo, just go along with your husband. You and the baby are important to him and he wants to be around and ensure you are fine. There’s a cost calculator on kkh website for different class labour. U may want to check that to estimate the cost
