<b>Anyone delivering @ NUH?</b>
- Thread starter nqt
- Start date
Hi KS Lover,
As a private patient, for antenatal checkups, I pay $60+ for senior consultant (first visit is $90+) and $90+ additional for an obsteric scan if the gyne thinks it's necessary or if you request for one.
I can't remember the exact delivery charges, but the bill was between $3-4K for my 2-day stay in 2010.
If I am not mistaken, subsidized patients at NUH are seen at a different clinic from private patients. I do not know if you get to see the same gyne at every visit or if you can even select your gyne.
There is another local forum that has a thread discussing delivering at NUH, but I can't post it here. Try doing a google search for "subsidized patient delivering at NUH".
Hope this helps you with your decision!

Hi Baby_lang,
Thanks for ur reply. I delivered @ NUH too in 2010 aug thru C-sect & my bill was almost $4k before subsidized. I paid nothing in cash dats wat i remembered. But all my antenatal checkups was at KKH.
I dont mind not having the same gynae every checkup, its just dat frm what i know NUH dont have lots of female gynae, i personally prefer female.
If the antenatal checkup not much diff to subsidized patient, i wld prefer to take up my own gynae.
Thanks for informing me abt the thread. Will try to google it up.

Hi KS_Lover,
I just checked my bills last night. I made a mistake about the cost of the consultation. It's currently $120+ for 1st checkup with senior consultant and $90 for subsequent visits.
There are at least 4 female gynes I know of at NUH, A/Prof Mary Rauff, Dr TM Chua, Dr Su Lin Lin and Dr Anita Kale.

Hi KS,
I was under Dr Su Lin Lin when I delivered my daughter in 2011.
She's a patient doctor. I will recommend you to take her.
My bill was abt $5k. I stayed in a single bedded room. Spent 14hrs in delivery suite, I think that is one of the reason of high bill cost. Single bedded will be in the new tower. Isit called tower d or a. Can't remember now.

LS, you mean the monthly check up?
Yes, dr Su attended to me on all check up. Since mine is considered private so it's this arrangement.
I cannot remember the cost but should be the same as baby mentioning in her post.
If I remembered correctly, after 22weeks I took a package. I paid less than 1k for thr check up till the last check up before I delivered. It's worth it. It include another detailed scan at week 32. No scanning for every visit. I think if I ask for it, then should be extra charge.
Mine was normal delivery with epidural.
I had to come out abt 3k, the rest is medisave.

I just delivered @ NUH in Dec 2012.
I went to Clinic G from week 4 to week 21, subsided. Then I took the package from week 22 @ Women Clinic. Same as Su_yana, all the consultation and week 22, week 32 scans are included, you required to pay only for the medication or addition blood test if required. I would say scanning is depend on luck and doctor, as if the doctor cannot found the heart beat, he/she will scan to ensure the baby is OK and the scan will be NO charge.
I will advice if affordable, it's worth to go women clinic as the waiting hall is more comfortable and waiting time shorter if the doctor didn't go for delivery.
I was intended to get Prof Mary Rauff, but she refuse to take patient when i was in week 22 as she have too many patients already. Please chop her before she fully occupied if you intended to choose Prof Mary.
I was with Dr TM Chua throughout my pregnancy but c-section by Dr Biswas as Dr TM Chua going for holiday during my due date. A bit irritating for this, but after that i am fine as Dr Biswas is the head of Dept and I am having little complication too.
I took 1 beded, bill size as plan around 6k, medisave 4k and top another 2k myself. Highly recommend NUH as the room is comfortable and nurses are helpful. I experienced very bad engorgement on the 3rd day after delivery, there are 2 latation consultants and 2 nurses take turn to help me massage and advice the correct way to latch. I think this is important for 1st time mommy like me to be confident for breastfeeding.

Hi Gigi, yes i'm with Dr Su.. Congrats to you too~ Actually my EDD is 1 June 2013, but she said that I will b either early May or mid May. If not, our EDD will b rather close. Jamie mentioned that basic toiletries r provided. Think I'll bring toothbrush, toothpaste, comb, facial cleanser n moisturizer. I'll prefer natural but it all depends on bb positions, Dr Su mentioned tt we will discuss tis issue in 2 wks. What abt u, u ops for natural or c-sec?
Hi Azel, for c-sect, you will need to be confine in bed the 1st day. and the most painful moment is when you first step down from the bed. But I am very determined to have a speedy recovery so I endure and practice walking on the 2nd day. And well, I am fine to do normal work by the 3rd day. But pls dun carry heavy things.

Jamie: Wow thanks for sharing the information and advice. It is definitely useful, if my gynae advice me to go for c-sec, I will remember to endure the pain and start walking on day 2 (if i cant withstand the pain).. Sure sure, i will not carry heavy things.
