We are attending the antenatal class at NUH even though we're not delivering there as they seems to have quite a comprehensive syllabus. Sure, there are probably some things that you may have already read online but I still find it quite helpful as there's probably bits and pieces that we've...

Eh... I'm not an expert in this. But roughly, you'll need a separate shield plan for the mother and and the baby (when he/she is born). The compulsory medishield plan you've mentioned is the current medishield life, which covers basic hospital bills in C and B2 wards and is quite basic (and...

The integrated shield plan covers just the hospital bill portion (you'll still need to foot the 1st $xxxx as deductible unless you've bought additional riders to cover those). The maternity plan covers the mother for some complications until she give birth and then continue to covers the baby on...

Welcome. I guess it depends on your situation. For instance I know of friend who have some known family history from daddy and they get those that are tied in with ILP/endowment plan to ensure continued protection right from birth since insurance company will not offer coverage (or much deferred...

If you want an insurance that's not tied to an ILP/endowment plan, you might want to consider either the OCBC's Max Maternity plan (underwritten by Great Eastern), Great Eastern's Flex Maternity Cover or NTUC maternity 360 plan. The rest from other companies appears to be tied to some...

Please take care. Just sharing, hope you don't mind. Not meant to cause any alarm, but there have been numerous studies pointing to increased risk of autism when having fever during pregnancy (especially so with multiple fever occurrence during 2nd trimester). Study also carried out on the...

Hm.. Thought I would like to point out that FDA advise against home usage of fetal doppler as it may potentially do more harm than good. Possibly from unknown excessive ultrasound exposure, incorrect usage and a false sense of security (thinking there's heartbeat when there's actually none). A...

I see. All the best for your test! I guess each clinic breaks down the billing different. What I've heard from them is test like HIV is mandatory. Anyway, we did all the tests during our 1st appointment at 10 wks and is still waiting for our next appointment at 15 wks, which felt so long away...

I have mine done at Mt Alvernia, but the $900 is purely for harmony test. As far as I know, the full complete test (including all options) only test for anormaly of the 3 chromosome and the sex chromosome. So if you've said HIV, then the amount you pay includes other test outside of the harmony...

Wow, that's almost double of what I've paid for our harmony test at $900. Just curious, does it include all the other additional test options? I only knew ours confirm test for trisomy 21, 18 and 13, and also for the fetal sex. Not sure if it includes the additional monosomy X and sex chromosome...
