I need some advice. I am currently unemployed and my husband is the only one working. I found out that I'm pregnant. This will be our first child so I am kind of financially worried as we do not know what to expect. Is monthly checkup and delivery really that expensive? Anybody can advise the approximate cost? Thanks.

It depends on which hospital you are going. If you are financially tight I advise you not to go private hospital as the charges will be much higher . If natural it will be much more cheaper and SGH or KK hospital are affordable . as for check up to can go KK government hospital are usually much more cheaper and they only need you to visit them once a month or 6 weeks depend on your situation. My i did in Thomson clinic and per visit is about $250-300. and its every 2 weeks at the beginning for 3 months which is really expensive . and subsequent 3-4 per time and at the back last trimester my wife visit once a week from week 35-37 which cost $200++ per visit as we couldn't"t sign up package as the clinic advise not to as they afraid my wife premature baby. but I heard people say KK is really cheap and good too so perhaps you can try it out .. Baby is a gift from God so don"t worry because Singapore do have good hospital and affordability charges as long as one got to work. Don't choose A class ward .. Perhaps B or C it still manageable if financially tight . government hospital do subsidize alot unlike private u had to pay one large sum before checking out .. All the best
