Hi mummies,
I read fr this forum that quite a no of you are seeing gynae at KKH. Would you be able to share more info with me?
- why choose KKH?
- do you have a fixed doc to see you thr the process?
- how much do they charge for each consultation and scan?
- how much is their package for private suite?
- are there subsidy if we choose govt hospital?
Sorry to ask so many qsn. Am deciding to go private or KKH. Thank you

Hi ling,
for subsidy patient at kkh u need to get a refferal letter from poly clinic which usually the appt is schduele a month later..
When u r a sub patient u wun have fix gynae.. N if not wrong its a midwife tat help u deliver not gynae..
There is diff class for subsidy patient class a,b,c i think got d also.. The further the alphabet eg class d the cheaper the charges but service not very good n long appt interval..
I have frenz in the class d type they pay ard $40 for consultation n scanning.. For the lowest class at times they dun even scan for u.. N for lowest class my fren was in labour n the labour wards were full she had to wait outside painfully to wait for vacancy at labour ward

As for me we chose kkh because if any medical emergencies were to crop up for either the mother or baby kkh is the best place to be in. The kk midwife also told me that if the private hospitals are unable to deal with the emergency they will you back to kkh but at private rates. Ie one of my friends is a diabetic when she conceived, her gynae didn't even want to attend to her but told her to go kk straightaway.
Another friend has lupus and also goes to kk for her prenatal checkups cos private gynaes tend not to handle complicated cases, they are in it for money..
Although at the kk the private suite (tps) I pay even more than what most mummies pay for private gynaes as the consultation charges are higher and there is no package available, so we normally pay around 140 each time for consultation, scan and tests etc. Can amount to quite a sum.
Think if you see the doctors at clinic A/B etc its cheaper.. Mostly the same docs anyway just that they run diff clinics on different days.

Oh, and also if the baby were to be born premature (touchwood) the neonatal units at private hospital can only give standard care; for complicated cases they still send to kk too as that's where all the specialists are. I guess I tend to worry too much
When my 2nd girl was born (not in Sg) the nicu at the city hospital wasn't able to treat her breathing problems cos they are only accustomed to dealing with premature babies but not a full term baby with other conditions. So they had to transfer her in the mobile incubator by ambulance to the children's hospital (their equivalent of kk). That's why we feel more assured to be in an environment where all the specialists are on hand. I think NUH is another hospital with excellent neonatal care. But difficult to say the same for private.
But then again 99% of the time most pregnancies proceed normally and babies at most delivered via emergency c-sect without any further problems to the mother or baby.. So it's really up to individual lah. I believe if you ask around almost everyone had unproblematic pregnancies/deliveries/healthy babies. Only in the worst case scenario will one require specialist aid.
When I was in Europe the births were all handled by midwives, gynaes only do c-sections that's all..

Hi Mommies
Last week i had blood clot surround the sac and had bed rest for a week. No spotting. This week, i have spotting, which is like one spot then no more. Few days later another one spot. Is this normal? Could it be due to clearing the old blood clot?
Has anyone experience similar case?

Fl - I also had a big blood clot next to the water bag and was given 2 wks hospitalisation leave. Went back to work this week but am now at home cos oldest kid having high fever. But so far no spotting. I think if you are really worried just go back and see your gynae bah. Maybe he needs to increase hormone dose?

Gymie, absentmama & Shan:
Thanks for the advise. Being monitoring since the incident until now, no further spotting. But today on pulling sensation cramp. But i think this is more on uterine expansion.
Thanks for the advise.
I keep talking to baby and build a good and positive thinking. Next week is the checkup. I would continue hear good news

I do have brown discharge, but not v v watery. Didn't go see doc, but went once to kkh (as the discharge was quite alot suddenly) as gynae not available. Baby is ok, and had jab. The dr at kkh also says its normal.
If u worried just go, it's 24hrs anyway. Monitor for a while. I paid about $120 for the scan, consult n jab.
Take care.

Chevelle,
Don't worry. I believe your baby will be fine. When I started work beginning of this week, my spotting came back too, but my gynae checked and he said it's ok. Maybe it's the back-to-work syndrome haha. Hey get some warm water to drink while waiting. I waited for quite a while that time. Was damn hungry then and a guy in front of me was eating McDonald's!
