Hi SimplyPrinted,

I have to agree with the peeps, its cheaper to get a MW and deliver either at home or at their birthing center (usually their houses)

The hospital rates are the worst but sometimes they will give discount. You have a period of 3 months to pay off your bill and that can put you in a lot of stress. Unless you have the cash ready for the birth.

Don't know where you are situated but there is a good MW in Sunward Park.

Good Luck.

Hi, Bronwen,
How much are they charging, I'm also with no medical aid but I'm also considering a home birth I've checked the prices for birthing pools n etc.

Hello Hasie. Thanks soo much for the reply. I booked my bed at femina but still need to pay. How do I go about finding a midwife at femina. My dr is Dr Vrey, should I rather speak to him and ask his advice? Any advice is helpfull to me as I don't really know much about these things. Thanks soo much!

Look into birth with a midwife, it turns out much cheaper, and its a more personal approach. You can use the active birth unit at Femina (cash price is way below R21000 for birth there!) or even have a home birth.

Look at midwives-exclusive, they are excellent!
