Should we wait or have a c-section?

[SyL]

Tsan Yuk advised to schedule a c-section due to baby's breech position. Do any of you know the cost for c-section delivery at Queen Mary? Is it the same as the cost of vaginal delivery?

This case is not considered an elective c-section--is it?

Should be the same cost as any other procedure int he hospital - you are charged per hospital night ($100, I think), and not according to what treatment you are getting.

I don't think it's considered elective (you are not choosing, but following the doc's recommendations), but it is scheduled, not emergency, so you should be able to have your partner there with you, unlike with an emergency c/s.

I am in the same situation as you SyL, my baby is breech and we are booked to have a c-section this Friday at QM. As far as I know the charges are as geiboy mentioned and you can have your partner there.

If you've not got a date already, it may be worth doing as they are pretty booked up and the 13th was the earliest appointment I could get (due dat is 15th).

All the best

Good Luck, Sunrays. You will finally meet your little one. I was previously given the 18th as a date, due date is 24th, but won't know for sure until this afternoon.

I want my husband to be in the room with me, so I'm glad to read your comment, geiboyi.
