Hello parents in Singapore -write to me (babynico@gmail.com- place subject as hospital charges or anything you want to share)

It will be great if you can share with all the new parents on your hospitalization Bills.A lot of us are unsure what is the hidden cost or how much we need to folk out for a new born. The amount is not cheap..

I have my daughter in the year 2004. I have gone through normal delivery but last minute c-section as baby was stuck. The hospital bills are huge for a new couple like us without much saving.. plus we just receive new flat.. few thousand is really not small...

Plus i was surprise.. after my husband folking out a few thousand, my Mil who is helping on the month actually ask for a huge angbow.. For someone like me i dont have much cash at all.. i was astonish.. because i thought your loveone will understand your difficulties on tight cash flow.. i was so disappointed..

I have made a decision to be prepared the next time.

I would like to highlight to all new parents on what are the expectation, expenses and where to source for cheap and available necessary items.

I have just started my blog.. i need quite a while for all the things to be working..

Not even sure if i can add pages to this.. haha

My plans is to have
1) a list on all the hospital charges.. best to have some actual quote from friends.
2) a list of necessary items for mother and newborn baby
3) what to expect for a newborn
4) List of Gynae, comments... etc
5) some common question and answer
6) website to source for cheaper products
7) any information for parents of toddlers..
(this is because recently we experience problem with my daughter having stomach flu .. in the middle of the night , we are unsure about whether to gave her milk or water..)
8) spree on US sites LIke old navy, gap, gymboree

Rgds
