If Cesarean Section then if i remember correctly the bill is around 8k plus. This will include baby doctor as well. The 8k plus is for a 2 person ward. If single ward it is just 100-200plus more.

The cash u need to pay after minus medisave, should be around 2k or less. For my wife she go for Cesarean Section and total cash I give is 1.8k plus. Unless there is complication, and doctor need to use some "special" equipment to assist then it may be more ex.

Other cash which is not include is the check up during pregnancy. Per visit should range around 70-250. Depending on how much medicine u buy, test or scan that need to take.

The charges above is rough estimation but should be around there plus minus some dollar. If u need more detail billing then i can dig out my bill. Btw the price above is more private gyna and giving birth at Parkway Health group hospital.

This is not inclusive of pregnancy time doctor's fees. If add all, total around S$23k. Comparatively, when my daughters were borned in Saigon around 5 years ago, i spent only around US$3000 for all expenses, from doctor's fees during pregnancy to giving birth. (and this is in International Hospital and in Single ward)

Bros may ask me why Gleneagles? I started off at KK Hospital. Super long queue with inexperienced foreigner health workers. Gave me wrong scanning results which gave my family sleepless nights worrying. Thus, decided to change to private. BTW, KK also not cheap if your wife is not Singaporean.
