Medisave Maternity Package

Please also have hospital plan! Very important. For me, I paid all my pre-natal visits and was going for normal delivery until there were complications during my labour so I had to undergo emergency c-sect. Post-delivery I developed pre-eclampsia (high blood pressure) and was warded for 1 week cause my blood pressure couldn’t go down no matter how hard I try to relax. Baby also had jaundice at my 2nd last day of hospitalisation. My hospital bill was $11,525 (before govt subsidy of $7241) My baby’s was $2052 (before Govt subsidy of $979) Balance I had to topup CASH.. I was so lucky that I had hospitalisation insurance which covered the balance for me. In fact I received my total pre-natal costs ($1177) in cash cheque instead of back into my Medisave and I also received $900 cash cheque for my daily hospital stay. If I had chosen B1 or A ward, I would have gotten more. Haha but I chose B2 ward because firstly being the scaredy-cat I am, I don’t want to stay in a ward alone. 2ndly, I can meet different kind of mothers and see how they handle their babies in a B2 ward. Lol. So all in all, I didn’t pay a single cent at all! 😂 All the best, see a social worker for some advice. ❤️
