nope... and it wasn't enough and i have to pay additional of about $500-$600...
the deposits were more of money being paid upfront, in case you don't have enough to pay when you discharge.. haha...
Is 1.8kg very big? Mine is 1.7kg at 31 weeks and my gynae says its a good size. Ours is only a difference of only 0.1kg...
aint you able to use medisave? hmmm. weird. my SIL told me last time once medisave processed, they will refund the deposit.
Yes, i agree on panties for mummy, it's very comfortable and stretchable, even you can wash it and wear again, it's not disposable panties.even the hand santizier is being charged...
the antiseptic solution for mummy too...
I will say almost everything you use is chargeable....
you can bring along your maternity pad. the nurse will ask you if you brought your own.
panties for mummy costs $5 per pc, if I din rmb wrongly....
but its very comfortable...this one worth buying...
I just discharged on 17feb...
nvd with epidural...

Tampons are not recommended. So I guess you will have to use pads. The maternity ones are mostly cotton so should induce the least allergic reaction. Otherwise you can also consider getting cloth pads. These are washable and made of breathable cotton.
Hi mummies, I just delivered my baby girl via emergency c sect on 20 april. Stayed in a single bedded room for 4 days with companion (my hubby was charged $60 per night with breakfast included) Total bill was $12k+ and claimable from medisave was $5k+. Balance of $7k+ paid by cash.. Looking through the bill, I was charged for pretty much every single item they provided/administered to me and my baby during my stay such as cotton balls, sanitary pads, alcohol swabs, etc. Definitely exceeded what we had expected to pay but overall it was a good and comfortable stay, the nurses were very well trained and friendly.

Hi dumbocare,
So the additional $500/$600 is paid after discharge? Does this include the gynae fee? Or is it just the hospital stay?
My gynae is not from TMC and from what I understand, the $1200 deposit that I will make upon admission should suffice. If still need to top-up.. Scary lah!!!

I took a 4-bedded but was automatically upgraded to 2-bedded. I did pay extra on top of the deposit. For me the bill included everything including my gynae's charges.

yes, the additional $500-600 includes gynae fee and all the misc expenses incurred during the stay...
I didnt ask for any special items already, other than epidural...

Hi Chrystal,

Hi, I also heard that in Thomson Medical are 2 bed sit, But can anybody say how many cost in there ?
Hi dumbocarebear,
Got it! Thanks! Just wondering, how did you manage to get 2700 deduction from medisave? They told me that the max was 2100 (which is for the non-medisave maternity package) and 2550 (if it's a medisave maternity package) from MOH's website. I'm so confused with the calculations and distinctions.
