KKH or PRIVATE

Question

Hi mummies, at what weeks should I be decisive of my chosen route, private or govt?Currently I’m on my 18th weeks and due for the anomaly scan and whooping cough. Wish to get the subsided rate at KKH but I would missed out on the anenatal package from private gynae(usually 10 session etc).Can’t make up my mind because KKH I heard has good doctor for neonatal care should things goes south but they are strict on hospitalisation leaves, shared rooms, and consultation can only be on weekdays which hubby has to take extra leaves.While private route would be easier, but I heard the emergency c section or NICU will cost a bomb.For your kind advice and thoughts please thank you!

hello.Im still under subsidy. I did ask the nurse at KK on her thoughts should i apply for private when i just got to my 2nd trimester. she advise its abit waste of money. if i think i wanna go private, opt for it from my 3rd trimester onwards at least i can save abit of money. My other concern was the extra cost for emergency c sect or NICU. Thankfully, my sister inform me of the insurance i could get to cover for this. Maybe u may want to hit her up to know more on thisFatin @ 98500895
