Hi Jas, mtblynne,
I remembered I've a chart on the size of the bb in terms of week but I left it in office. Let me see if I can find when I'm back in office.
Actually the package, if there is no change, is $550, which include all visits to Dr Ang and medicines till you deliver. You have to pay extra for triple test, detailed scan, blood test and other tests that you require. The normal scan at Dr Ang's clinic is included in the package. Delivery fees is NOT under this package.
For hospital bills, it will depends on your room (eg. 1 bedded, 2 bedded or 4 bedded). Note this, if there is any complication with either mother or baby, and you are in 1 bedded, both bills for mother and baby will be charged as 1 bedded charges. For Dr Ang, he will also you to book for 4 bedded and he will upgrade you to 2 bedded (you pay for 4 bedded charges and stay in 2 bedded room, understand?).
For my 1st delivery in Feb 2005, I had complications due to internal blood clot. Hence, I stayed at TMC for 5D4N. I had natural delivery without epidural. Stayed in 2 bedded room. My total cash paid to TMC after Medisave is $600+. According to Dr Ang, if there is no complication (which caused me undergo an operation to remove the blood clot), I only needed to pay $100+ cash.
So Jas, $1000 is enough for hospital bill, provided you have natural birth without complications. Eg, stay 2 or 4 bedded room and BB is ok etc. Even for C-section, I think is enough cos you have Medisave to deduct. Dr Ang will helps you to save the cost. If I remember correctly, epidural cost $600 per jab?
mtblynne,
Dun worry if bb now too big or small, the last stage is more accurate in terms of size. If too big, Dr Ang will tells you to eat less keke...
Jas, when are you going to see Dr Ang? I plan to go next week, will call for appt later.
Where do you both stay? I stayed at Sembawang, so I will visit Dr Ang's clinic at Sun Plaza.
