Answer 4

If you go to a public hospital it will cost you nothing for the delivery but you can't choose your doctor.I delivered all three of my children in public hospitals and it didn't cost me a thing.The care I recieved was top notch and I wouldn't change anything. Antenatal care will cost you if you go to a GP but there are womens health clinics etc that are completely free and are just as good, I had to go to one of these for my third child as I had some complications and I was very happy with everything.  

Answer 5

If you don't have private health cover and go through the public system it costs absolutely nothing. The public hospitals also have prenatal clinics. If you chose to be a private patient, in either a private or public hospital you would be expected to pay but I couldn't say how much.

Answer 6

It costs you nothing through the public system. I was in private cover when i had my son, but went through public, as it would have cost a couple grand to go private and it was in the same hospital and the same rooms and everything anyways.

Check out a discount plan with AmeriPlan.  They are as low as $29.95/mo with no contract and will even cover maternity.  They will also assign someone as an advocate between you and the hospital to help settle any financial issues.   You can check out the plans at http://www.AffordableTotalHealthcare.com...  Best of luck!
