Antenatal packages (KKH vs NUH vs SGH)

Hi, my wife is 9 weeks pregnant and under the subsidised route in KKH. We are planning to shift to private down the road as the wife has some gynaes in mind. We are trying to figure out which would be the best week to make the transition to private and whether the antenatal packages are indeed more cost-effective than per visit payments. For KKH I understand that there is an antenatal package starting from week 20 while NUH has a package starting from week 22. I have not come across any package from SGH. We are fine with shifting to private in week 28 or 30. Just want to know whether it's worth moving to private earlier in weeks 20 or 22 because of the packages. Thanks in advance. #advicepls #pleasehelp #firstbaby

Safer to go KKH or NUH as they have all the facilities/resources needed in case if an emergency. I'm seeing as a private patient in NUH and there is antenatal package (should be on week 22 onwards). This is my 2nd pregnancy and I'm still sticking with NUH as I have an existing medical condition which puts me at a higher risk so going to public hospitals will be a safer option. I think it is best to consider the health condition of your wife and if she is of higher risk or possibility of complications etc.
