Markus

Its the beginning of Spring now. Very nice and cool weather.
Temperature ranging 12 to 20 degress in the day & 0 to 4 in the night.
Beautiful flowers blooming everywhere.

Went to view a few hospitals for the delivery of my baby, finally decided on this one.

Markus Krankenhaus.




Yeah, that wil be the place where I'll be delivering my little one.

Register for a place there yesterday.
Hospital rather new with friendly and warm nurses there.
Delivery deparment there is rather small with several rooms but only one patient lodging room per patient.
Meaning, when the time comes, I will be the only patient in the one-bedded room.
should'nt be a prob cos the room looks cosy and nicely renovated.


A pre-delivery course is also arranged for me and my hubby to attend. A 5 hours course for the preparation for delivery , for handling baby and some gymnastics course for me. All these are free for me, covered by insurance, but hubby got to pay a nominal amt of S$70 which is quite reasonable.
We'll be starting the course on 19 May, gonna be rather fun.

After this 5 hrs course, I'll be attending another 1 1/2 hrs course every Wed alone.
With all these courses, we should be well prepared to welcome the arrival of our little one to this world.


On top of tat, a midwife will be arranged to come to my place every week after baby delivery. She will assist me and guide me in all the basic things in taking care of bb. Guess wat, this is also free.

Well, its not a bad idea to give birth to baby in Germany, all provided thoughtfully and most importantly, its FOC... hehe, not forgetting the mthly mother & child allowance.
