Giving birth at KKH

[CoricopatXu]

highly unlikely.

unless you decide to go for the lowest end of everything.

I THINK it's doable.

By this route.

Polyclinic referral -> No fixed gynae -> Natural delivery that's NOT induced -> NO painkillers -> C Bedder ward.

But I'm not sure whether or not the quality of service will be there. I'm sure people have tried it, though.

Please don't save this type of money.
Wife already sacrifice a lot when give birth.
Baby inside tummy for so many months, no joke.

 

[CoricopatXu]

your baby is full month ? if short, maybe need go inside ICU.
The price is not simple.

Hello to all dads and moms here. Would like to ask if giving birth at kkh through normal delivery and maybe 2-3 days stay in hospital. Do we need to fork out any cash or it can be fully paid by cpf medisave?

I DON'T know if anyone DOES do it la. I don't think it's advisable either. But it's possible in theory, of course.

I didn't take painkillers because I tend to react VERY badly to them and I'm scared of needles. But I liked knowing that option was available if I needed it, though we went painkiller-free in the end.

Many actually And no top up cash

Isn't it risky, though? The no fixed gynae part squicks me out a bit.

Payment takes place upon check into delivery suite.

But if you are a private patient charges will be higher.
When you say subsidized patient, are you saying that you do not have a appointed Gynae and always see different ones?

If yes, then charges are pretty low.

 

[keichi_k1]

But note if there is emergency C-Sect, that brings up the cost quite a lot.

 

[wwng16]

heng my company insurance covers childbirth, gynac and etc...

all i go private gao gao

 

[Jialat12345]

I had two kids in KK. Didn't have to top up anything, but I was also covered under CSC- civil service card, so that helped a lot.

Anyway, natural delivery, zero painkillers, one night. No issues.

No epidural?! I heard even gynecologists choose to have it.

How painful was natural delivery? The doc stitched you up without any anesthesia too?

How many % is the civil servant discount? What are the limitations?

If I private patient I was laughing when I reach back my "cash back " cheque lol

 

[Archuke]

Yes no appointed gynae. Always different. So no matter what must pay cold hard cash?

i heard from some nurse saying.

the chance of getting complication during giving birth is higher when there is no fixed gynae. cause the gynae doing your delivery might not have all the information on anything to take note of.

I have a phobia of needles. I'm not just a little scared, I will just FREAK OUT and have to be tied down. I hit the nurse who did my glucose test at 6 months because I was in full on fight or flight mode.

It wasn't THAT painful, but I know I've a fairly high pain tolerance- open fracture on my ankle once, didn't cry. It was tedious, though. 31 hours for my first, 17 for my second.

No tears, so no need for stitching.
