Currently subsidised route in NUH. When should I change to private?

Hi mummies! I’m worried about the expensive private costs. Any recommendation when is a good time for me to change to private NUH instead of subsidised? Ultimately I would like to stay in A class ward during delivery, and I know subsidised doesn’t allow for that. Thank you!

hi. :) you can stay at subsidised route till about week 35. meanwhile, try calling in to ask on the availability of your preferred gynae and ask if you can book on prior first and switch to private route from week 35. they will advise further. tho, some gynaes may not want to accept... also depending on your health conditions. if there's complications, then prolly some of them wouldn't want you to switch. I'm currently at 38 weeks. I switched to private route at week 30 and also chose my gynae. however, the nurse said can actually wait till week 35... 🤭
