to me he's super good la. i wanted to book dr jen from amk central initially. then my mum insist i take this gynae. found some negative comments of him in forum. was quite worried back then but im glad i stick to him!!Wow ... sounds like your doctor is very good... may i know the name of your doctor?
huh?! where got so ex... if i include all my prenatal checks before i took the package. plus all lab tests. total cash paid only 2k plus i tink.happymummy07,
i'm so amazed that your cost seems so low compared to the prices I got quoted from my dr. Dr. LC Foong. Who's very nice but going in, I had an feeling he wans't going to be cheap.
He told me that a normal delivery would cost about 6000-7000, and c-section would be somewhere between 9000-10000
If you book a 2 bed package, was the husband allowed to stay overnight?
and how often did you have the baby in the room with you?
thanks!
Mine is a C-section on Feb 2009, half body epidural, after deduct medisave need to pay around cash $5000 plus, but include $800 package for the routine check up after Trimester 1, I stayed in 1 bedded room, hubby stayed with me 2 nites (chargable include all meals and bed). And also include my son pediatrician and he stayed extra one night cos of jaundice, all included.
I was off the bed the second day and to the nursey myself, my baby stayed with me the whole day unless when we change his diaper he urine all over, then we have to push him back to ask the nurse to change the bed bed for us and at night.
I chose Gleneagles cos my Gynae only delivers there but she got good stitching and I can walk on my own to the nursey myself on my second day after they remove the tube for urine and I can also iron and wash my hubby clothes the 2nd day after discharge and I take care of my son myself.
I have back ache think due to the epidual, I suggest you use GA unless you like me want to see your baby immediately. Hee.. Remember to take camera in if you use half body epidural. Can take short movie and pictures. PM me if you want to add me to facebook to see my boy cleaning up by the nurse video.
