Delivering baby as covid positive patient (39 weeks)
The rest of the recovery is as per normal caesarean. Except that I was in the covid ward. The nurses here are more caring than the ones I met at the Pte hosp. Altho I’ve heard from the others patients I’m warded with, that the nurses here are horrible as compared to another Govt hosp. To each their own. I’m thankful enough for some of the kind souls I’ve met so far. For more info on which hosp I’ve to and where I am now, as well as the gynae that I was and am consulting, feel free to pm me. I do not wish to publicly tarnish anyone or any hosp’s reputation. Bill estimate: Pte hosp, 1 night for covid stay: $2300. Inclusive of gynae consultation $500 Govt hosp, 7 days for covid stay: $3500 before subsidy, $800 after subsidy Covid stay for Govt is fully claimable via insurance. For Pte tbc as I wasn’t sure what the Pte hosp billed to my insurance company. If the bill description is delivery- no claim. If it’s covid- claimable. Caesarean at Govt hosp for 3 nights: B1 ward estimated about 13k without maternity package (all itemised as I was warded prior due to covid). After medisave deduction, cash ~$9-10k). Hope it helps anyone who happens to find themselves in such an unusual situation! Last part (8/8)
