i know usually c-sect itself is 3 k plus. whereas natural birth itself is 2 k plus. as for mix, no idea...

actually from my experience, i think there's no extra charge. At KKH, if end up C-sect, then they'll just switch you to the C-sect package and not charge you for the natural birth package.

If you want to take C-section, dun opt for half body epi, better sleep thru one, but cannot see BB at once lah, me dun noe, opt for half body epi, now my back super ache ah, but C-section not pain lah, I off the bed the next day to nursery myself lor.. hee..

Btw, C-section put lesser risk to baby but more risk to the mum, whereas natural birth put lesser risk to the mum but more risk to the baby, told by my cousin and I think so too. I try inducing first but no contraction or dilation, my gynae asked me whether want to wait somemore for dilating, I say no so I immediately chose C-section as I want my BB to be safe.
Nv charge me for extra leh.. just C-section leh.

Backache has nothing to do with epidural. It's bad posture. I've frens who did not take epi but they got worse backaches than me.

Hospital charges for usage. You use the room/facilities, you pay. So example you use their labour ward during labour, you pay. then end up emergency C section, you gotta pay for the OT usage.

If you are afraid of pain (like me), you can opt to have epi once u start feeling pain. when u do not feel pain and are more relaxed, usually labour will progress faster. but it also depends from person to person. i exercised alot during my pregnancy and my gynae said tt helped with my easy labour and birth.

I walk and shop alot and can walk faster than my colleagues even on my last weeks of pregnancy, my bb head go down but did not engage, think the exercise thing also depends on individual.
