We are planning and trying to figure out a rough budget for the whole nine months plus delivery. Matlab consultations, scans, all the kharcha. Can someone share approx how much it came for them?
My mother-in-law advised us to start a small savings fund as soon as we got the good news. Scans, medicines, and delivery charges can easily cross 1 lakh in good private hospitals.
Let's be realistic, pregnancy isn't cheap. Between doctor visits, tests, supplements, and final delivery, keep a budget of at least 70,000 to 1.5 lakhs ready.
Look, monthly scans and medicines cost around 2-3k. For delivery, government hospitals are super cheap, but private will cost 50k to 2 lakhs. Call hospitals nearby and ask for their maternity packages, they help a lot.
My planned C-section and 3 days of hospital stay cost around 1.2 lakhs in a private clinic. Recovery took time but having a fixed package helped us manage the finances without stress.
In Mumbai, private hospital deliveries are actually quite expensive, yaar. Standard package starts around 80k and can go up to 2 lakhs. Better check if your corporate insurance covers maternity.
I delivered at a hospital near my parents' house and they helped us research the best budget options. It cost us around 60k for normal delivery and everything went beautifully.
It varies quite a bit! 💸 Private hospitals can cost anywhere from 50k to 1.5 lakhs or more depending on C-section or normal delivery. Best to plan early!
Costs vary, but make sure you don't cut corners on essential tests your doctor recommends. Ask your gynac's clinic for their fee structure beforehand so you can prepare.
