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

if you would like to be prudent and since its still early days, you dont know yet hw the pregnancy will progress. better to go govt subsidized route.. u can always upgrade later on to private or choose own gynae at kkh, but if u go private u cannot downgrade back to subsidized rate (from what i know, pls double check!) there is definitely a difference, its not "about the same" the costs adds up to be quite a difference.
