Hi all can anyone let me know if you or someone you know was able to be at the berth of a baby at the hospitals in dumaguete city thanks. Dave
Just had my baby at Silliman on Sept 26th... wrote a post on my experience and costs let me know if you need any further info
Our daughter was born at Holy Child. While my other half was there I spoke to an American guy who was very keen to be there for the actual birth. Initially the answer was a flat no but after a lot of arguing and pleading they eventually relented. But I believe that was an exception rather than the norm.
I was going to mention the hospital did not allow me in to watch my gf's birthing a few years back as the labor room is full of females who would feel uncomfortable with the presence of a male. But this was not in Dumaguete so maybe its different here. Perhaps they have a private room for that rather than a ward?
Thanks, just to be fair my Asawa did all the work so I should have said" she had our baby" LOL... (this is still surreal and new and I might add most awesome)
We used the birthing clinic opposite nevas pizza place a couple yrs ago. All good for a normal birth which my wife had luckily. If your under 35 yrs old it would cost a couple thosand peso but over that age its 11k which is still ok. Luckily my mrs had a straight forward birth so it it was the latter price and all was good. Nice people and clean place with no bullshit like other places i could mention with the add ons.
