Hi guys,

I posted this on a different thread and got no replies and still no reply from the hospital. Can anybody help? I'm just looking for a rough estimate of cost.

Original post:

I am living in Asia, on an expat health insurance scheme.

My insurer will pay maternity costs up up to US$6,000. There is a hospital here that provides maternity services for expats (in English) but I'm starting to think about coming home for the birth.

Because my insurance isn't with an Australian insurer, I don't have to worry about the gap, just the total cost. Can anyone give me an idea of the total cost of a normal delivery at a private hospital in Queensland, most likely Nambour Selangor? And the cost of worst-case scenario emergency caesar and ... well, I'm not even sure what could go wrong... but worst-case?

I've sent an email to the Selangor but they haven't replied yet and I'm not sure if they can give me an estimate because of all the specialists involved.

Thanks.
