You should be able to do pre admission after 36 weeks onwards as you need to book a bed soon. I can't recall when I did pre admission. You may request for other language speaking if needed. I am sure the pre admission receiptionist will be able to help you. I am under subsidy and I had no issues in booking. The staff were friendly and explain procedure. They will ask your citizenship, what class and what package, take Q number and wait in line before settling the necessary.
