Hey girls!

I just wanna check.. is it compulsory that we need a car seat for kids when we are bringing the baby back home? I heard that some hospitals dont allow the parents to leave with their babies if they dont have car seats.. True?

Hi dear ,

This is the most ridiculous thing I ever heard ... Hospital don't allow the parents to leave with babies if they don't have car seats??? Haha I won't think the hospital will bother abt such stuff! What if a family driving lorry, pickup or van or even taking a bus or mrt back ?

If hospital r concern... They will most probably charge u with a fee in ur hospital bill on private transportation by them to send u back. Furthermore , after discharge i don't think they encourage u to leave ur baby (who is just a few days) old in the car seat on the car.. Usually someone will hold on to the baby. Even though it's a car seat... It might not be totally 100% to a just few days old newborn!

Dont worry!! Hospital don't have the right to stop u Frm bringing back ur baby!!

Hmmm, your clinic should have told you of any package when u started seeing them. Anyway, my package ($400 i think) started some time around 18 or 20 weeks, I forgot. I had to pay the full sum which includes ultrasound and consultation. So every visit just pay for the vitamins.

My clinic is 'gynae health clinic for women'. Located near to Koran mrt. Went there since my sis in law went there too.

Btw, when is your edd and where are u delivering? :)

The vitamins cost $10 each time. Maybe cos I only get 1 type of vitamins, which is a red tablet. My gynae doesn't believe in taking other vitamns besides the one he provides. He said insufficient studies to support if omega 3 really helps the baby.. But I'm a little kiasu, so I take additional prenatal vitamins and omega 3.. Both from gnc

All along my doc only gave me fish oil and folic acid as supplements. No iron, no calcium, no vitamins. Wonder why. Maybe cos I am big sized so should have enough stored for the baby..keke

my gynae might b cheap but the other expenses like not only.. plus he is very brief. my check up usually takes like half n hour n i'll be out of the clinic already. the other time i ask for the breakdown of charges expected n here's the breakdown:

pead. charges - $200-$300
epidural (opt) - $700
daily gynae visit during stay in hosp aft delivery - $100/day

this is all i can remember for now...
