Hospital Bills

For our first, I paid 1/3 and he paid the rest cz at tt pt of time we just got our hse and alot of money was alr put in our reno but for my 2nd born, he insisted on paying all by himself. So when I got my bonuses, I tried to put in our joint accts (but still aren't as much as him since he's earning twice as me). Do discuss with your hubby what both of u are comfortable with. For us, we are happy with the current arrangement where he pays for the major necessities while I pay whatever I can for small items. We both contribute to our joint accts monthly too and have separate funds for kids, house and investments.

When i delivered my baby who is induced and finally out by c-sect, i took care of all the hospital bills myself. Though my relationship with my hubby is good, i still want ownership of my baby. I didnt have any fantastic postpartum confinement, baby didnt have a proper full month celebration. Been waiting for hubby to make up to me with gifts but still nothing.. the silent wait continues, probably one day my patience runs out, i may just walk off with my baby. By then, i have all the rights to do so isnt it.. Cause I can fully claim that the baby is mine..

for me, there isn't such an expectation. we r expecting our 4th now and i have never expected him to pay for everything.. I will cover outpatient costs and he will cover in-patient costs, somehow its unspoken cos he prolly feels that its his responsibility. It's best u guys sit and discuss abt the splitting of payment. if he earns more, perhaps he can cover more..n vice versa.. personally, I don't practice being calculative with my husband..and he also doesn't take advantage of my kindness.

I personally believe that communication between you and your husband is key. Expectations can be daunting and vary from person to person. It’s important to discuss and agree on topics like this between the two of you, rather than letting others influence your decision. Every couple has their own unique circumstances and expectations. For me, I intend to claim from my company medical benefit. And I personally don’t believe in getting one party to pay for everything.

My husband paid for my C section and A1 class - coz I believe it’s the man responsibility to pay. As we had carry the baby full term for 9 months. It is not easy. The least he could do find ways to pay for the baby expenses. After all that is his child. If the women have to carry the baby and still think about the financial to bear the cost. What is the good of the man. Maybe everyone have their different perspective.

i have been paying for my own bills, as i choose to go private as i dont like to keep changing doc.. my hub doesn't have an income oso.. so i think it depends on the situation in the family.. besides, some companies have some maternity benefit for claims.. you may want to check with the company on the medical benefits..

Nope, I do not expect the guy to pay for everything. My husband paid 60% and I paid 40% of the check up, hospital and delivery charges. Personally, I’m pretty much independent and do not expect guy to pay things for me. I can do it myself and I don’t want to see my husband suffers too. If I can help him, why not?

actually it depend on both husband and wife... if the husband wanted to pay all let him paid lor afterall it is his job as a husband but if the wife wanne help out why not.. it is the same case as me , if my husband want to pay all i let him paid coz he know his responsibility but at times i'll paid the bills myself

Mine i chose A1 ward, and ended up induced and emergency csect. My husband paid deposit, medisave also cut his one, balance we split. Cause imagine paying $10k+ himself, some more im the one die die want A1. But from the start also i dont expect him to pay all. So we 50/50. Some appts also i pay myself

to me personally, I've been paying everything regarding the hospital bills n charges myself as my husband settles everything that is going at home. It's like a 50-50 depending on your situation. I mean every couple is different in their ways right? So I don't think there's really like a yes or no answer
