Getting Ready for Your Delivery
Pre-registration

Pre-registration is one of the most important things you should take care of before your baby's birth. It is recommended that you visit the hospital about 1 month before your delivery due date to pre-register. This service is offered as a convenience, and enables you to go through your delivery without excessive paperwork. This way, you will not have to worry about registering when you are in labour.

To pre-register, come to the hospital's admission counter on level 1 with your identity card or passport. If you would like to claim from your husband's Medisave, bring your marriage certificate and his identity card.

You will be pre-registered and given an envelope of documents which you have to bring along when you admit to the hospital to deliver your baby.

What to get ready and bring along upon admission

Pack your suitcase after your 34^th week. Prepare 2 days' worth of clothes for a normal delivery, and 4 days' worth for a caesarean section.

Bring along the following:

For the mother:
- Your birth plan
- 2 sets of outfits (preferably with front openings for breastfeeding)
- Disposable underwear
- Toiletries (a basic toiletries pack will also be provided)
- Nursing bra
- Maternity pads
- Slippers
- Marriage certificate
- Identity card / passport
- Letter from your doctor, laboratory results (if any)
- Cord blood collection kit (if any)
For the father:
- Camera
- A warm jacket
For your baby:
- Receiving blanket / baby blanket
- Baby mittens and booties (if you wish)
- Baby hat
- 1 outfit for the trip home

When You are in Labour

Bring along your lab test results and the letter given by your doctor. This letter provides our staff with instructions on your delivery procedures. The nurses will then call your doctor and prepare you for delivery.

If you come to the hospital after office hours, or if you are in advanced labour, go straight to the Accident and Emergency (A&E) Department. The nurses will bring you and your husband to the delivery suite immediately.

At the Delivery Suite

The delivery suite at Parkway East Hospital is very accommodating. We believe in family-centred birthing and we encourage your husband to be with you throughout your labour. You and your husband can bond with your baby right from birth in the delivery room. The delivery room is fully equipped with all the necessary medical equipment to assist with your labour. A fetal monitor by your bedside will allow you to watch your baby’s heartbeat. Nurses will be monitoring the condition of your baby and yourself, in the delivery room and from outside as well.

Once your baby arrives, you and your husband can watch while your baby is checked, bathed and weighed. This heart-warming scene will be the first of many future happy memories you will have with your child.

You will get to hold your baby before you are transferred to the maternity ward. We recommend that you breastfeed your newborn as soon as possible, while in the delivery room. This may be the perfect time to bond with the baby, since most healthy term babies are alert during the first hour or so after birth. Initiating breastfeeding within 1 hour of birth is one the ten steps to successful breastfeeding.

Nutritious Confinement Menu

We serve a delicious and nutritious (halal) menu of confinement dishes that will aid in your postnatal recovery. Inspired by traditional confinement recipes, you will find familiar ingredients like sesame oil, ginger, black vinegar, eggs, red dates, chicken and fish.

Parentcraft Class

Our parentcraft team will guide you on caring for your baby. Learn skills such as bathing, caring for your baby’s umbilical cord stump, breastfeeding and how to burp your baby. You will also pick up nutrition tips for breastfeeding and advice on maternity confinement. Parentcraft classes are available during your maternity stay and after you discharge from the hospital. A video on parentcraft tips is also available on the TV within your room.

Birth Registration

Birth registration services are available at our hospital's admission counter from 2.30pm – 4.30pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday within 14 days of your child's birth. Birth registration is strictly by appointment only. For enquiries and appointment, please call 6340 8600, Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.

Please bring along the following:

• Completed form BD 13-11/96 (obtain at the main admissions counter)

• NRIC / passports of both parents

• Original marriage certificate

• Notification of Live Birth document (provided by the hospital upon your baby’s birth)

• Registration fee of S$39.40 (cash)*

Pre-conception Screening
For a complication-free pregnancy and a healthy baby, your preparation should start even before your pregnancy. Pre-conception care is becoming more important as it becomes increasingly common for couples to start childbearing only in their 30s. Your pre-pregnancy health and lifestyle can have an impact on the progress and outcome of your pregnancy.
Pre-conception care involves health screening, physical assessment, vaccinations and counselling. These are the potential risk factors for pregnancy:
- Potential for inherited genetic diseases
- Exposure to environmental toxins and teratogens (infections, drugs or chemicals that may affect the development of the fetus)
- Nutritional status
- Use of tobacco, alcohol and recreational drugs
- Medical conditions
- Exposure to infectious diseases and vaccination status
- Psychosocial concerns
The screening is designed to fully prepare you and your partner for a healthy pregnancy. This is an opportunity to resolve any existing health issues.

The screening includes the following:
- Detailed consultation
- Review of medical history
- Basic gynaecological examination
- Breast examination
- Weight (body mass index) analysis
- Blood pressure
- Pap smear
- Pelvic ultrasound
- Full blood count
- Blood grouping
- Hepatitis B screening
- Diabetes screening
- Rubella (German measles) antibody testing
- Venereal disease screening
- HIV (AIDS) screening
