The arrangment of the room was done by my husband, Ronald. We did not plan to book for the Super Deluxe Room , initially. After knowing the rate of the Super Deluxe room was not far from the Single Deluxe Room, it was a few hundred dollars difference.
The rate for 2013 for Super Deluxe Room is $738.30 per night, and for hubby to accompany wifey is another $80.23
The only issue is there is one Super Deluxe Room in Mount Alvernia. So you have to count on your lucky stars to get it.
Super Deluxe Room |
I was transported into the the Super Deluxe Room after delivering to Royce. Tired Papa Koh had finally a better chair to rest. The room looks very spacious and clean, I love the wooden flooring.
There were two televisions , one other television at the quiet corner.
We were glad what we had this room as we had many friends coming in and out visiting little Royce and I could really used the space in the ward The nurses were very friendly and they accede to my request. I am not a very demanding person but I kinda requested to see my baby many times so my visitors do not waste their trip.
Please remember you could request for your lactation consultant to learn how to nurse your baby. I was only introduced to the lactation consultant on my second day. Faintz....

Presents from our guests! |
Papa Koh was telling me that the second child will not have this priviledge or rather Mama Koh will not have this priviledge.
I thought I have packed my Hospital Bag, but I realised that I should have brought along my maternity pad, the hospital only provide 2 packs and they also used it when my water bag burst. For the benefit for other mummies, the items to bring are:
For Mummy
- A set of pyjamas for breastfeeding and maybe one extra pants (I stained my pants and have to ask my friend to get another pair for me.)
- Diposable Panties
- Going home clothes , (a comfortable pair of pants , your tummy will stick out at this point, so don't bring skinny jeans. )
- Socks
- Basic toiletries. ( But Mount Alvernia had toothbrush, comb , and some other toiletries , I feel at ease whenever there are extra or backup)
- A pair of slippers
- Swaddle towel (I loved the Aden and Anais swaddle towel, also note that Mount Alvernia provides the towel but not sure why the hospital didn't give it to me.)
- Mittens and Booties
- One set of babies clothes for going home.
- Husband and wife's ICs
- Marriage Certificate
- Documents for claiming from medisave
- Cordblood kit if you purchase the policy.
- Swaddle Towel
- Bath Tub (pls check with your hospital provides, Thomson Medical doesn't)
- Diapers for babies.
- Maternity pad during your stay in the hospital.
And one last thing, Papa Koh was provided pillows and blankets to convert the sofa to a bed, but he wasn't exactly as comfortable.. Poor PaPa Koh.... Wasn't he glad when I and baby was discharged. :)
