Gov or Private?

Hello, first time mom here @5wks. I've always thought to go gov hosp if i get preggy bcoz of the costs. But my hb fren recently said his fren went to TMC for childbirth and the cost is about the same (normal delivery without complications) as gov hosp. My first check up at kkh is next week and now I'm not sure whether to go gov or private. Any thoughts & advice? TIA

It really depends on what's ur priority and how much u're willing to pay esp in cases of emergency. There may not be much difference in cost for natural birth but you may not know what will happen eventually. For myself I had to go for elective csect and paid abt $15k at a private hospital as compared to under $10k in KKH. Just epidural alone may be different, I paid $1.5k but my friend at NUH had hers at abt $900. For my husband and I, we're alr prepared to pay such amt as I really wanted tt one particular gynae and cz the hospital is very near our hse.
