NUH ward 48 vs ward 9A

We were first sent to ward B1 while waiting for the single room to be made available. October probably is an auspicious month when many babies were born. No single room is available at all.
B1 ward is 4-bedder. a small room divided into 4 corners. With a common sitting area, common toilet and shower room. The space is very cramp. Baby cot is pushed right next to the bed. There is absolutely no space to maneuver between the bed and the cot. Luckily hm is thin and able to squeeze in between. Meals were served at the bed. The trolley tray is old and hard to push. The food sucks big time. When friends visited me I feel paiseh also haha.
A1 ward is for single room, only 16 of them. The food is also by Sodexo but there is maternity food option. The taste is slightly better, only slightly. The room is spacious & comes with a toilet and tv. You can roam in the room or nurse the baby all you want. Husband also can room-in with a small fee. The sofa bed is more comfortable than the patient's bed. Celebration dinner was also organized inside the room. We had our first family dinner in the room.
