konradsmom - I hate to correct myself but my husband just told me that our bill was closer to $135,000. Though my ob/gyn was $55,000 of that which is expensive from what I can tell. Yes it would be considered emergency on a Sunday just for pricing reasons - I think it's $10,000 more. However the anesthesiologist, pediatrician and your ob/gyn are also likely to charge you a Sunday premium on top of that so best to find out from them in advance what it is! Good luck. Again the Matilda is worth it!

Thanks for the info - I think for me,it will be much more than 135,000 you had to pay, but am comforted by your opinion that its worth it. My Obs just told me that the Adventist has raised its prices and is now more expensive than Matilda, so probably the Matilda is the right choice after all. Thanks again.

Looks like a C-section at the Adventist is now more than the Matilda. Thanks Konradsmom for the heads-up!

I just had an elective c-section (booked one day in advance because the baby decided to change position at the last minute) at the Matilda, stayed 5 days in a private room and all up the cost was $94,000 so substantially less than some others are getting charged. I was under the care of Dr Dawkins and think he is great. The whole experience was fantastic, especially the level of care you get from everyone in the hospital. I never thought I'd be able to breastfeed but after a small hiccup post hospital stay I'm doing it and i credit it to the staff there. Call on them as much as you need.
No sorry, that was the delivery and hospital stay only. I was only here for the last few months of my pregnancy so i only spent another 3000 on doctors visits. It was also my second pregnancy and everything went well so all up i probably only saw an obstetrician (in Sydney and here) 6 times from beginning to end! Dawkins is very relaxed so even at the end I was only going in every two to three weeks.
This was a much cheaper pregnancy than the first and a much better experience too.

Aussiegal... Just one more question.
Who did you see in Sydney? I just would like a comparison of experience... I had Dr. Gil Burton from North Shore Private. And he was superb. We are planning to have our second one in Hong Kong and would like to know if Dr. Dawkins compares well to the Obgyn in Oz.
:thanks

I saw Dr Alan Kaye at Prince of Wales Private. Kaye and Dawkins are very similar in approach. Very pro vaginal birth, very relaxed. As a hospital however the Prince of Wales can't compare with the Matilda where the staff are actually caring and have a predictable roster so you see the same people over a few days. In POW it was like a never ending assortment of backpackers coming through and it's supposed to be right behind North Shore as far as the hospitals go! I ended up having to go back to the Matilda a couple of nights ago to get treated for mastitis and I got a bit teary. I wished I could check back in...
