Normal delivery ranges from 10,000-30,000 pesos. C-section ranges from 50,000-70,000. It actually depends on the hospital.

Figure at least 40,000 peso for normal delivery, 40-50,000 more if C-section. The prenatal care was about 20,000 (monthly visits to ob/gyn, 2 ultrasounds, vitamins and lab work) money very well spent espically in the Phils where folks often cant afford it.

I think in province even it's private it is not that expensive coz normal delivery cost like 12-16 thousand and c-section cost 30 thousand so it really depends the place even it's private and hospital

hi. what part of cebu ur fiancee live? there are some hospitals there offer u a package for the whole pregnancy. the package include regular check-ups, prescriptions of the vitamins, delivery etc. if it is normal it will range 30,000 to 50,000 pesos. the best thing she need to do is visit a hospital and ask them. or make a call here is the best recommended hospital in cebu.

hi,

I gave birth in the Philippines last July 2008. I gave birth in a private hospital with a private room and private doctor costs me $1500 not including the medicine but I had a C section.This $1500 does not include the monthly doctor's visit..it was just for the Ceasarian delivery and 2 days stay in the hspital.

I am sure normal delivery in a public hospital with a private doctor costs less.

Does'nt matter what place. The private doctor's prof. fee is very expensive nowadays.I had a CS delivery in Sacred Heart Hospital in Urdaneta Pangasinan and costs me $1500 not including the medicines that costs me about $500.
