I had a scheduled induction turned emergency c-section due to a prolapsed umbilical cord. Here’s my bill from a public hospital in Singapore.

My baby just turned 3 months old and I thought I’ll share this for reference :)

I was originally scheduled for an induction at 38 weeks, but things took an unexpected turn when my baby’s umbilical cord prolapsed, leading to an emergency c-section. I delivered at a public hospital in Singapore, and I wanted to share my hospital bills for anyone curious about the costs.

S$1 = US$0.73

• The first bill is for me. I had to pay S$820 upfront during admission.

• The second bill is for my baby. I had to pay around S$400 upfront, but they refunded that amount once the final bill was processed.

These bills do not include the cost of my prenatal visits. I had:

• One appointment per month in the earlier stages of pregnancy.

• Ultrasounds at every other visit (e.g., if I had an ultrasound in one visit, the next visit would not have one).

• As my due date got closer, weekly visits with ultrasounds at every appointment.

• Around S$100-S$200 per visit but claimable with Medisave after delivery (MediSave is a national healthcare savings scheme that set aside part of our savings to pay for medical expenses)
