The cost of baby delivery in Singapore varies depending on whether you choose to give birth at a public or private hospital. Public hospitals are generally more affordable than private hospitals, but they may have longer waiting times and fewer amenities.

If you choose to give birth at a public hospital, you can expect to pay around S$5,100 for a normal delivery and S$8,000 for a cesarean section. These costs are subsidized by the Singapore government, so they may be even lower if you are eligible for Medisave or other government assistance schemes.

If you choose to give birth at a private hospital, you can expect to pay around S$7,700 for a normal delivery and S$12,000 for a cesarean section. These costs are not subsidized by the government, so they will be higher than the costs at a public hospital.

In addition to the cost of delivery, you will also need to pay for prenatal care, postnatal care, and baby supplies. Prenatal care typically costs around S$2,000, postnatal care costs around S$1,000, and baby supplies cost around S$3,000.

So, the total cost of having a baby in Singapore can range from S$5,100 to S$24,000, depending on where you choose to give birth and what kind of care you choose.

Is it worth giving birth at a private hospital?

Whether or not it is worth giving birth at a private hospital is a personal decision. Private hospitals offer a number of amenities that public hospitals do not, such as private rooms, shorter waiting times, and more personalized care. However, private hospitals are also more expensive than public hospitals.

If you are able to afford the cost of a private hospital, it may be worth it for the additional amenities and personalized care. However, if you are on a budget, giving birth at a public hospital is still a viable option. Public hospitals in Singapore offer high-quality care at a fraction of the cost of private hospitals.
