Durban Mom's

Hi Michelle

I did not realise there are such vast differences in prices and would have thought Crompton would be cheaper! My sister-in-law had her 2 girls with Dr Mohammed and she said the same things about her. I am based in Kloof. We are on medical aid, so not sure if that affects the costs. Still have s much research to do.

Where is Nu Shifa? i have never heard of it.

Hope you are well. I still have a way to go, only 15 weeks today!

Hi letsdothis... what a great topic to start!!

Well I'm 26 weeks pregnant and I see Dr Naseera Mohammed who practices out of Westville and Nu Shifa Hospital and I love her!! She is an amazing gynae and her rates are not bad at all- R900 for initial consultation and R450 per consult after that; her rate for the foetal assessment scan is only R250 and I know of gynae's who charge over R1k for that!! I'm having baby at Nu Shifa hospital, which is a private hospital, as their nvd maternity package is R7,000 if you use your own gynae or R6,500 if you use their "in-house" gynae- as apposed to Westville Hospital which is R18,700 for their nvd maternity package!! And Crompton Hospital is R20,000!! Nu Shifa really blew me away- clean, professional and very tight security around the maternity section- you have to get thru two sets of access controlled security doors just to get to the maternity reception desk!!!

Where about in the Highway area are you based?

Hi All

I am a first time Mom and wanted to start a topic for Durban Mom's. For advice and help with Gynae's, hospital reviews, day care, ect.
So to start I am wanting to ask if anyone has any reviews on the maternity sections of the private hospitals in durban upper highway area.

thanks!
