EDD July 2012

[Jenni]

All package from diff gynea is all different price, think my is the most ex, I remember i pay $1k for the package, forget from when onwards, it include scan and the supplements...

Don worry for the package, coz in the end it will all be included into the hospital bill, you may pay more cash now but hospital bill u don need to pay too much cash... Thats what i have 2 yrs back... Believe now is still the same... ancing_tongue:

Hi Dilys,

Hi jenni , no I stay Punggol !

Wow that's far.. 1st 2 appt ..2 weeks once, starting from 3rd appt once a month till last month again 2 week once

Maybe you can refer to this thread for recommendation of gynaes Singapore Obstetricians and Gynaecologists

Yes, Dilys. it is far. But now I'm thinking if I should go direct to any good gynae from Mount A and take the package there if it is cheapre than my current gynae.

thanks Yingver. I have to give time to read that thread you've given..

once a month and twice a month should be ok to travel

Hi juliaKT,

My gynae is Dr chen Li Han @ Yishun women"s clinic. My antenatal package is $650 from 12 wks (3rd appt) to delivery. Includes all supplements. Oscar test is $300+.(12wk). Every visit will be given a copy of scan with all baby"s measurements detail.
(20wk) $130 for detailed scan (full detailed of baby"s report, 2 copies of scan (3d) + 1 copy of 4d scan of baby" face)
$20 for glucose test

Oh.. that's quite a reseasonable price... Thanks for the information.. Now i've a clear picture what I should look for in the Antenatal package

 

[JuliaKT]

Juz blood test alone cost you $300?

yes, the staff mentioned that would be $310 for blood test + $800 for Antenatal package on my next visit.

Hi Jenni,

I'm not sure if the hospital bill would be reduce if the gynae from their hospital.... But in the package from my gynae, the delivery fees is fixed and so for the hospital bills. for example, Antenatal package is $800 + Normal Delivery ($800) to gynae + 4-bedded in Mount A ($1206x2days)

That's really expensive. You should change your gynae to save cost. My blood test cost me $100 only.

Did you ask ur gynae what's the cause of being cramp?

 

[valwee]

Mummies, so will kk's subsidy rates be cheaper than packages at private clinics? Cuz i was thinking if the difference is not big, i rather go private.

 

[mei2009]

Hello July mummies! I'm now 9 weeks, EDD 14 July. Just had my first ultrasound scan on Tuesday and heard the super exciting heartbeat!

Been reading your comparisons on the packages. Just wondering if any gynae will accept patients in the final 6 weeks? Cos I'm overseas and hope to go back to deliver...

 

[lauraqueh]

Heard from my gynea, now still in KKH but soon going to TMC, that the rates in KKH will be increasing and the package in TMC is cheaper. Not sure if he's saying this because he wants me to follow him.
