Any Singaporean/Malaysian Moms group?

[Pekkie]

hi all,

so happy to see so many singaporeans n malaysians in this thread. hope to be there on weds for the meetup.

hi snowbird,

i go to doctor patrick chan, a private obgyn and i find him a very good doctor too. he is the patient and thorough kind of doctor. if you're interested, he's in 5th floor, tak shing building, central. i plan to deliver in Queen Mary hospital too cause i find the cost a bit too high and i'd rather use the money for some other cause. so what happens is i do private care for my monthly checkup, and do my delivery in queen mary. you have to get registered in queen mary and do some checkups there too. i've been to queen mary and they're pretty good actually. let me know if you need further info.

Hi Snowbird

I myself is a singaporean. My husband is local. Well I had my 1st kid in Thomson Medical Centre in Singapore too.

I am due for a c-section on the 12 Nov 2008 here in Matilda.

I have been to Queen Mary too due to medical complication. My private OB is Dr Edmond Hon he is formally from Queen Mary. His bedside manner is great and he is very patient and will explain everything to you in details, He speaks both English and Canatones.

Private Vs Public
It depends whether which private hospital you are looking at and whether its normal delivery or c-section. In a private hospital it can range from HK$30,000 - HK$60,000 depending on the kind of room you choose excluding OB fee. If you are a private patient in a public hospital it range from HK$39,000 - HK$48,000. If you are a private patient in a public hospital you can see a specific OB. Dr Ben Chen from Queen Mary is really good too. He only see private patient in Queen Mary.

If you have a HKID you are entilited to public hospital care at about HK$100 per day during your delivery but you can choose a OB and during your pre-naetal check up you see a different doctor everytime.

So it really depends on what you are looking for. Please feel free to PM me if you need more info.

Hope it helps,

Hi jaz1311

thanks for all the info - really makes it easier knowing how it works. I'll PM you as I have other questions too

Another thing I forgot to mention (again) is that I am trying to go VBAC (vagina birth after c-section) this time round and not sure if any of the doctors mentioned are advocates of VBAC? Seems that some doctors prefers to perform c-sections if the first time was a c-section.

Thanks.
