(2010) 2009 TTCers Moving on to 2010... Come on in!

alison,

that is great to hear [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] just monitor her closely okie [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



liz,

wah kekekek steady man...

 


Rabbit,

deliver at KKH need gynea but gynea fee might be cheaper... heehee..

My gynea delivery charges are similar to Dr Fong's. I find that it is abit too steep lor..

 
Bbdust

I hate to guess and wait la. Sian. Call lo! easier to solve the prob. haha. I think afterall not so expensive la.

 
Rabbit

take note that the natural birth charges does nt include the epidual hor. That one is depend on how much Mt A is charging.

 
Rabbit

Tat mean hor, base on the Mt A list I give u right... got the charges right, u plus the above for Dr Fong to be there for either natural or c-sect birth lo.

 
liz,

can understand... [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] if its me i will call and ask too.



alicia,

KK got to choose TPS or normal. from my understanding, TPS gynae will follow u throughout, normal gynae keep changing even till the day of delivery. Dont know if I am wrong, better check with vic or woofy

 
Rabbit, Have you done the hospital tour? Mt A really gd? cos my sister delivered both nephews at MT A. but find that the nurse service nt so gd leh... But MT A hospital charges is the cheapest among all private hospital.

 
KKH's hospital charges as below :



Class A1 (single-bedded) Packages



Type Length of Stay Package Price in SGD *

Normal Delivery Two days $1,659

Caesarean Delivery Three days $2,461



Class B1 (four-bedded) Packages



Type Length of Stay Package Price in SGD *

Normal Delivery Two days $984

Caesarean Delivery Three days $1,819



The 4 bedded charge seems to be same as Mt A.

 
Liz, yaya.. i commenting end up still have to fork out 1k plus..



Normal delivery plus Epidural - if 2 bedder



$1633 + $650 (nursery, rough guide i got from forum) + $1700 professional fees = $3883



i think medisave can deduct $2.1k.

 
alicia, of coz not.. usually ppl go for hospitals tours after week 30.



if your gynae not delivery at khh, then who going to help you deliver?

 
Rabbit, I thinking of switching to KKH-TPS(John Tee) lo... But after doing research on the hospital stay price, 4 bedded price is similar to MT A(4 bedded). difference of $100 nia. So very wei nan leh. I calculated liao, if I remain with same gynea, week 20 sign gynea package $1000, delivery - I plan c-sect (doc fee - $2.5K) & hospital stay $1976, nursary - $650 = Total $5126(just for the three days), haven calculate the CL cost leh... Aiyo... I dono what to do leh...

 
stocks are running low again. new batch ordered expected next week if there are no delays - could be 2 weeks later with tighter global security issues of late.

alicia,

woo dont be scared of pain... can use epidural if u buay tahan... from what i know the afterpain of C-sect is worse than if u do natural. Unless really bo bian medically doc said need c-sect i would encourage u to go thru natural [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif] and C-sect i think u need to stay more days in hosp right??



I think hor at week 20 sign package 1K is a bit ex.. less than 1K i think shld be okay.. take e.g my gynae.. she charged 2.6K for delivery + consultation + vits and her package starts week 16. so I give her 1K for consultation, 1.6K for normal delivery.

 
Liz, so the price i calculated looks fine you? so my question is do you find it ex?



ohhh, 1.7k because i look at those bills they add up gynae fee and Anesthetist (if epi) fee together.



This is an example of the Mt A hospital bill (c-sec with epi)



*******************

PART A - BB's BILL



HOSPITAL CHARGES = SGD686.41

bb package (maternity) + nursery bed charges + diagonistic imaging svc + lab svc + pharmacy + GST



DOCTOR (referring to PD) CHARGES = SGD278.20

Attendence fee



PAGE ONE GRAND TOTAL = 686.41 + 278.2 = 964.61

MINUS est. medisave claim for hopistal = 686.41

MINUS est medisave claim for doctor (PD) charges = 150



SO TOTAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE TO ME FOR PART A = SGD128.2



**************************



PART B - MOMMY's BILL



HOSPITAL CHARGES = SGD2274.55

c-sec Delivery with epi + bed charges + clinical consumable & supply + equipment usage + operating theatre + pharmacy



DOCTOR (referring to gynae + anesthetist) CHARGES = SGD2380

Gynae attendence fee + Gynae operation fee + Anesthetist operation fee



PART B GRAND TOTAL = SGD4654.55

MINUS est. medisave claim for hospital = SGD2106.59

MINUS est. medisave claim for Gynae = SGD1093.41



SO TOTAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR ME FOR PART B = SGD1454.55



********************



TOTAL OUT OF POCKET EXPENSE FOR ME FOR BOTH PART A & B (i.e. this whole delivery) = SGD128.2 + 1454.55 = SGD1582.75

 
alicia, not to scare you ah.. but c-sec is the after pain that have to endure.. enduring the pain and taking care of baby not easy ah..

and c-sec have to see each person's body recovery speed.



my friend told me his wife was bed ridden for 5 days in hospital. normal delivery ladies can get out of the bed after 1 day of rest.

 
liz and rabbit,

i dont know abt mt a but i heard that other hosp do charge extra for Anesthetist if u deliver on weekends. so do check also yah [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
BBDust, for C-Sect, need to stay additional 1 day in hospital. I scared I dono when to ask for epidural. I know to natural delivery is very wei da. But dono leh... I don have the courage.

your gynea package very worth leh.. $2.6K for both antenatal package cum delivery.

 
alicia,

i think that depends on ur body also wor, not chop cfm 3 days in hosp de. the nurse will advise u de dont worry cause she will monitor ur contraction and will ask u u need it or not? once u have the epidural, u can knock out go zz and wait before u are fully dilated and ready to push.. my SIL told me she dont feel anything no pain at all [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



i think if u so sure want to do c-sect then might as well go KK cause i think pte hosp c-sect fees are all very ex.

 
alicia

i think hor if u can go attend those antenatal class, they are helpful in preparing u for labour and what to expect so that u dont panic when the time comes [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



i learnt a lot from the class so at least now mentally i am prepared [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
alicia, ya.. i agree with bb dust.. like i said my friend's wife instead of 3 days.. she stayed 5 days... unless your placenta is low or baby too big, that one no choice.. if you really want to go for c-sec, got to markup your budget abit more.

 
hi hi cherry [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

welcome welcome [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



alicia,

u no need to go to that particular hosp to attend antenatal class de. I attended TMC antenatal class though me not delivering there [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



personally, i think if i chop chop decide want to C-sect i will just go KK cause its cheaper. No pt going pte hosp cause the charges are ex.



but then again, u still got a long way to go, don't conclude now that u want to c-sect unless medically cannot natural delivery. Think abt it, talk to ur DH and people who got experience giving birth (both who did C-sect and natural) and then decide. but for me, i will encourage u to go thru natural with epi if u are scared of pain [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]

 
alicia, no fan ok.. still got a few mths to think abt it.. [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]



for antenatal class, no need to specifically choose hospital de.

 
Hi Cherrry!



Alicia, yeah lo. *breathe* I c-sect is really not play play. I removed my cyst via cut underneath my bellybutton. the surgern say this op is jus like c-sect. I cannot straight my back for a week le!

 
Hi bbdust! Read tat u been giving alot of bbdust to everyone.. giv me also okie. hehee



Hihi Liz! I read tat u got ur good news recently. congrats! =)



I haven really start trying cos I tot I shld wait for rabbit but think too old to wait liao. Haa... So i shld try v soon :p
