Foreign worker mom to be in singapore

Question

Hi mummies! I just want to ask fo some advice from moms out there..im a S-pass holder and Im currently 15 weeks pregnant. I do my check up at KKH, I read at some post at around 16 weeks during check up they might offer you a check up package.. since im a S-pass holder, im not eligible for subsidy and discount. Do you think its still okay to do the check up in KKH or its better to go to private (any recommendation for private clinic?) will the charges will be almost same amount for private since im not getting subsidy at kkh or it will be more costly? we usually pay arounf $265+ (vitamins and other testing not included yet) from my previous visit at kkh. Btw, im planning to give birth back home in my country. Thank you:) #adviceplease #pregnancy #firstimemom

Eh my neighbour who is also on S-pass said the same thing, no subsidy at KKH so the gap between KKH and private clinic is actually not that big lah. Someone in my mum WhatsApp group mentioned for roughly same price or just slightly more, private gives you much better service and more personal attention from your gynae. Since you're not delivering in Singapore anyway, just do your check-ups somewhere comfortable, no point paying KKH rates without the subsidy benefit!
