20th Feb couldn’t be more confusing, exciting and exhilarating. Daddies will feel that way when mummy is in labour and going through hours of contraction while giving you venomous stares everything contraction spikes. Again when baby is born and you are trying to make up what is this alien looking creature about, while the nurses and doctors are going through their motion with you very much in the way. And when the time to pay arrives, you are confused by the number of zeros in the bill, the sophisticated items(name wise) on the list but yet excited and exhilarated that this is the best payment you ever made.
So the bill for a 3 day 2 night package + one additional day of stay came up to $5504.79 (excluding gynae's fee). 20/02/2014 was a popular date and we heard there were as much as 8 c-sect happening in the morning alone. As such our first night was in a 2 bedder and we subsequently moved to a single room only on the 2nd day. We found the additional day spent in the hospital gave mummy more rest and also more practice with lactation nurses there with breastfeeding. Having gone through both a 2 bedder and a single room, the latter was crucial to give mummy more rest as you dont have another crying baby, visitors and companion.
Below is a further breakdown of the bill for reference:
Prices here exclude the roti prata we had before heading to the hospital. Mummy's idea :)
