Often, mums-to-be choose a maternity hospital largely driven by your OB-GYN practices because they are driven by the concerns of early pregnancy rather than birth. That said, we highly suggest that you run through your options and pricing. Don’t be shy to cross-check the maternity package prices with the hospitals as well. In this guide, we have rounded up the Noteworthy Maternity Hospitals in Singapore, introducing the highlights of each, and how to go about choosing your maternity hospital in Singapore with the various maternity packages available. We have also included the cost of giving birth in Singapore as supplementary information. Hopefully, this will help with your budget planning. Read on to find out more!

Private Maternity Hospitals Singapore

1. Thomson Medical Centre

Comfortable and stress-free option for growing families

Thomson Medical Centre has been a popular choice for maternity hospitals in Singapore for over 40 years, providing exceptional care and support as you begin your motherhood journey. With approximately 8,000 babies delivered each year, Thomson Medical Centre has established itself as one of the leading private hospitals in Singapore. 

One distinctive feature of Thomson Medical Centre is their water-birthing facilities, making it the only private hospital in Singapore to offer this option. This alternative birthing method provides a calming and soothing experience for mothers-to-be. Beyond this, the hospital’s facilities are top-notch, demonstrating a commitment to ensuring the utmost comfort and relaxation for patients. To be honest, each maternity room is thoughtfully designed to create a resort-like ambience so it will feel as if you are on a grand holiday celebrating your baby’s arrival! We have personally and consistently experienced outstanding services during the deliveries of our 3 babies (born in different years!), and that is truly saying something. 

In our latest experience with Thomson Medical, our older kids were with us as we welcomed our newest little girl. If you are also bringing along your older kids, we highly recommend staying in the Thomson Family Suite, which offers an adorable bunk bed for the kiddos, complimentary first companion accommodation with meals, and other personalised services. Our little ones especially loved the sleeping arrangements; imagine – bunk beds in a hospital! They were not only comfortable but also doubled as a play area for the kids. Additionally, the suite features a small table and chairs, perfect for feeding the children or keeping them entertained through colouring activities. The spaciousness of the room even allowed us to enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner right in our suite! We are truly grateful to Thomson Medical for providing such a delightful and memorable experience.

Signature services that take care of you from pregnancy to post-birth

In addition to the facilities, what really made us choose Thomson Medical Centre is their signature services that take care of you during pregnancy until you give birth and even during your confinement period. For instance, Thomson Medical Centre offers excellent outpatient services for pregnant mums, and at the same time, helps you prepare for your motherhood journey through antenatal classes from Thomson ParentCraft Centre, a pioneer in providing maternity education in Singapore. 

After delivery, they provide you with your very own lactation consultant and Traditional Chinese Medicine physician to help you with breastfeeding and confinement. Our lactation consultant was experienced and personable, and helped us work through breastfeeding techniques to ensure the comfort of both mum and baby.

Our experience with our TCM physician was very notable (you can choose an English or Chinese speaking physician), and they even helped to craft personalised TCM herbal remedies for us! Thomson Medical Centre also showered us with useful mum and baby gifts in the Thomson Mommy’s Bag like chicken essence, baby wipes, and so forth. They even gave us a Doona+ Car Seat Stroller which we really loved since it functions as a car seat and stroller in one! We did not need to bring a car seat as well when we brought our baby home. 

Delivery services to make your confinement period hassle-free

That’s not all! Thomson Medical knows how the confinement period can be a stressful time for families, especially for the new mums. With that, they aim to make this period as hassle-free as possible by bringing you 28-day Lunch & Dinner Confinement Food Delivery from Thomson Nutri and 28-day TCM Confinement Herbal Care from Thomson Chinese Medicine (highly recommended for the value and convenience) . Both will be delivered right to your doorstep, so you will not have to worry about cooking and prepping nutritious meals anymore. The food tastes amazing too. You can top up a bit to add on extra servings of Fish & Papaya Soup – our favourite!
