# Pregnancy childbirth experience: Cost to give birth in Singapore

> Self-reported and unverified. This is one person’s account, attributed to the narrator. It is not a statement of fact or of current rules; check official sources before relying on any detail.

The narrator describes the spouse's maternity expenses, including 11 gynaecology visits totalling about S$2,500 and scans costing about S$1,460. The narrator says they chose a single-occupancy room at Thomson Medical and had planned a caesarean section. The post discusses KKH and other public-hospital options only as general comparisons; it does not report a KKH birth or a S$5,715 bill. The experience date and whether the reported amounts are final bills or out-of-pocket payments are unstated.
