If your budget is 5k, I seriously urge you to go Gov hospital where it will cost no more than a few hundred regardless of how the baby comes out. Child birth can be unpredictable. You do not want to be saddle with credit card debt that could run into tens of thousand at the important time.

I had my baby at KPJ Sentosa KL. We hoped for natural birth that would cost 5-6k but end up with C sec total damage 12k. Our cash on hand for this birth at this hospital was 40k.

I'm not trying to scare you. Its fact that things can get out of hand very fast and you DO NOT want to be deciding anything with money in your mind. I have a friend who paid exactly that, 40k for 1 baby. Normal pregnancy but complicated child birth. Complication for both mother and child.

GO GOV HOSPITAL BRO

Sungai buloh hospital is the 'go to' hospital for caesarean from what I heard. I won't rebuke the supposedly less than standard care in Gov hospital, but make no mistakes, they are the best equipped hospital in the country to deal with anything come what may. A few issue of not enough bed for new mothers, rude staff etc can be overlooked if you think about the money you're going to save. The turn off point for me is their forcible stance on giving birth naturally. They will not c sec unless either mother or baby is in immediate danger. So if the birth is hard your wife would be looking at a very long labor without the option to cut.

Unless you are a FPP (Full Paying Patient), all births are by vaginal deliveries either with or without assistance from vacuum or forceps. You or your wife will be NO SAY if half way you decided for whatever reason you wanted to have caesarean. This option is reserved by doctors if vaginal birth would put either one or both baby and mother at risk.

Unlike in privates, at any moment if you wish to change to caesarean, your wife will be wheeled into operating room as you swipe your credit card.

Also gov hospital does not induce birth unless there's risk to baby or mother or overdue.

It's best if you can call and confirm if your legally married wife is under which package cause all I could offer is best guess which is citizen.

Package 1 is ALMOST ALWAYS FULL so either find out if you can book ahead or lucky draw on the day your wife goes into labor.

Putrajaya and Sg buloh hospital has the same designation as the 'go to' hospital for 'complicated' pregnancy/birth due to the staff/dr and equipment. I guess which ever that's closest to you
