Hopefully it will help other pple clarify also - if they happen to read my blog and/or comments, that is.<BR/><BR/>I see i see... barulah faham skrg..<BR/><BR/>Wah Ma... parah lah ur hosp bill no wonder u had to pay a LOT of cash. Furthermore i heard the delivery suite is charged on hourly basis. <BR/><BR/>I think even after my waterbag burst early.. i will try to hold gg to hosp off as long as i can. Somebody i know waited 2 days after klw tak silap! altho of cos there's a worry of infection so was given antibiotics.Jussaemonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02342630859294054569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359747.post-89542080900717204182009-02-15T11:32:00.000+08:002009-02-15T11:32:00.000+08:00eh I realise ada typo in my previous reply... the ...eh I realise ada typo in my previous reply... the so-called 'labour ward' is NOW called Delivery Suite hehAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359747.post-87897981199711627542009-02-15T11:30:00.000+08:002009-02-15T11:30:00.000+08:00JuS... heh...semua orang yg deliver at KKH will de...JuS... heh...semua orang yg deliver at KKH will deliver at the Delivery Suite lah... the so-called 'labour ward' is not called Delivery Suite...in the Delivery Suite, there are i think 30-odd individual rooms. Each room is furnished similarly - single bed, a comfy armchair, a smaller room a bit like a store keeping all the medical equipments related to labour, a warmer thingy to put the baby on right after delivery, a TV, etc. etc... I had the opportunity to be in 2 different rooms during my labour haha... I think the first was Room 30 before we were advised to labour in the normal ward, then in Room 7 for about 15hrs where I finally delivered.<BR/><BR/>Yeah I guess it's everyone's hope and will to labour drug-free and yeah I would encourage anyone to try really...<BR/><BR/>some tips I learnt along the way (those I learnt AFTER I delivered via vacuum delivery and succumbed to gas, pethidine then Epidural - ok people, you can do the calculations of all the added cost haha): <BR/>*labour at home as long as possible, <BR/>*hope and pray that your waterbag doesn't break too early (mine broke 30mins short of 24hrs before the baby came out) coz in S'pore they doctors will tell you to report to the hospital the moment the waterbag breaks (I haven't really read literature on this, but my hypothesis is VEs may contribute to early waterbag breakage, SO, try to minimise VEs)<BR/>*stay upright - lying down is actually one of the most unfavourable positions haha as it aggravates the pain, doesn't allow gravitational force to help the baby descend further, etc....<BR/><BR/>Oh another thing, abt the Private Suite... it's not actually a room ke apa...it's actually like a clinic...you know where you have a reception counter and consultation rooms... cuma the difference between the Pte Suite and the Clinics you see the gynae at is that the former konon mcm have a nicer ambience (with free flow of coffee/ milo/ etc.), shorter waiting period, and it has a more centralised facilities (i.e. the toilettes for you to settle your routine urine tests, and general untrasound machines in each consultation room so that you don't have to go to another place to do the ultrasound during each gynae visit)... aaahh mcm tu lah...<BR/><BR/>apa yg aku nak invade orang lain punye blog space ni with such a long reply? heh..Sorry!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359747.post-70936708276356256132009-02-13T10:48:00.000+08:002009-02-13T10:48:00.000+08:00Wah so fast u read my entry and commented already!...Wah so fast u read my entry and commented already! hehe<BR/><BR/>14hours huh!! eeee takutlahhhh Tapi nak amik epidural pon takut!! masuk spine apa suma.
