OMG............. My friend is normal vaginal delivery, 2-bedder (cos 1-bedder was full), her bill is $7k and she paid like $4k cash.... I think your friend will end up paying like $13k??
Nowadays hospital bills are way more expensive than drs' fees..... I wonder with the insurance thingy affecting the drs, maybe drs' fees will heighten next time as well, passing the buck to consumers like us instead... Pray all shun shun.....

What do u mean by use both hubby and your medisave in combination? Think usually is either one.
Having a baby needs a lot of financial planning. Not matter how must have enough cash to buffer the not so good scenario even for low risk one as we never know what will happen during the day itself, from there u know whether u should say downgrade your room, which hospital should u choose.
Got a fren also end up emergency csect in kkh... At least she can choose b1 instead of a class so the bill won't be so horrible.

Hello, i think i did a review of Dr Irene Chua previously and doesnt wanna sound like im hardselling her as i'm not personally related to her at all. Haha. Shes highly recommended by my gynae bestie and a couple of my gynae friends who chose her for delivery. Shes strict with her surgical standards but an assuring and very nice doctor to patients. One thing i like about her is how she always makes me feel at ease at every check up. Heard her stitching is good too. Shes slightly pricier though (package at 1.1k$ from 20 weeks).

Haha, yah shes quite busy and i think she speaks quite fast hence creating the chop chop impression. But, if u have any concerns, she really will go all out to allay your fears. She even replies my emails on the same night about my swollen ankle. Hence i have no issues with her style haha i think patient and doctor needs to have chemistry too haha must be able to click hehe

If you choose a designated gynae in kkh it will be considered as private rates. Google for the gynae in kkh from their site as they have a lot of gynaes left to pursue private practice at other hospitals like tmc n mt a.

After choosing your call your appt hotline inform them you want to see which gynae

I been with dr benjamin tham for 3 pregnancy, jus delivered 5days back
i like his humourous character, and also the comfortable communication n talks with him. Stitch wise i find v gd n fast. Only stayed 1night in hosp
So far during the visits at the clinic is normally pack, but appt wise is still alright unless change appt date(v hard to get a gd slot), if urgent cases i normally will email him to get his reply instead of gg thru the clinic nurse.
Gynae package from 12wks start. $650 exclude medication and treatments. Bring thumbdrive to save all the scans!
My delivery fee before deductions $1.7k

Hi pop, package only consists if urine stick, weight and blood pressure checking, consultation and scan, excluding medicine or supplements and other scans/testa required. Delivery and hospital is another charge. Hospital charge also depends on your choice of bed and type of delivery. You need to check with respective gynae and hospital. If you have designated gynae in kkh it will be considered as private rates. You want cheap and subsidized would be no choosing of gynae and only class b ward. So really depends on your preferences. Hope the answered helps you in your decision
ok great! that was helpful thnx

just to share the OSCAR test bills I did at TMC level 4 in Jan 2015.
I took up the OSCAR + FA package(detail scan at w20). A pre-eclampsia screening was add-on to OSCAR. So this is my total bill.
OSCAR + FA SCAN Package $463
Pre-eclampsia screening $175
On top of that, I was entitled to 5% discount with the SBI card.
Total amount $648.55 w gst.

Hi ladies, I'm 16 weeks and a first time mom, and very excited to welcome our new member. I'm currently seeing Dr Esther Ng. (Read lotsa good reviews on her and also due to fact that I wanna deliver at Mt A.)
To estimate the total expenditure, I checked the clinic to check on various rates:
20 weeks onwards: $950+
Delivery rate: $3K
Post-natal visit by doct: $300/visit to your bed while u are warded
All these are the charges for normal delivery, say you opt for C section, the rate Delivery Rate will go up to $4K - $4.3K.
Mt A hospital charges: ranges from $2.1K - $3.5K (for 2-bedded, depending on the complexity from normal delivery to with assistance to C-section).
I am fine with the hospital estimates and the 20 weeks onwards rates, cos, after scanning through pages of online forums and also checking with friends who recently delivered, these rates seem reasonable and "market rate".
BUT - the delivery rate at $3k is alittle on the high side (or so I think)... I have seen many other recommendations with $1.8k - $2.5k delivery charges, but hearing that the cost is $3K shocked me abit.
So here I am to check with all you mummies-to-be, if you already checked how much your delivery rate is from your current doc and if so, will you be so kind to share the info, so I can be less shocked with mine, or if you think this is way too exp just for a noraml delivery rate. (I was actually only expecting $2.3-$2.5K.. hmmm)

Thanks for ur feedback n sharing. It's quite true that comfort and reliability is key right now. But at least doing some homework will give us a more settled mind.

@pop123
you can check out the other forum thread "lastest bill for delivery in hosiptal" the 1st entry was already KKH price, for A1 ward. I dont think there is any package, but i think the rates are reasonable, though I am not a patient there (I might swtich over soon).
They have a calculator for you to estimate your bill size, go to this page:
