Pattaya Pregnancy

[pilgrim2505]

There’s a possibility that my Thai fiancé might be having a baby in Pattaya its not guaranteed but I am doing the ground work now in-case I miss my visa timescale window so to speak, does any one have any previous experience / recommendations?

I have read many of the threads but none are too conclusive, Satahip Naval Hospital, BPH, Sriracha, and Phayathai hospitals are the most popular mentioned can any one tell me about there personal experiences, things to be avoided and, well anything useful would be better than what I know now.

Anything slightly geographically / subject related would be nice.

my daughter was born in the bangkok/pattaya hospital in August 2003, a natural birth which seems rare in that hospital as every other farang/thai couple who i have spoke to who had a baby there all seemed to have a c-section near enough forced on them. Anyway total cost was about 25,000 baht which included wife daughter having own private room with bathroom for 2 nights. Everyone who had a c-section was paying 40,000 baht upwards and this was best part of 4 years ago, so i can only guess what their prices will be now.

Please consider finding any location other than Pattaya for your wife to give birth. Being a luk-kreung with Pattaya on one's birth certificate -- Chonburi even -- is something that will haunt your child the rest of their life.

Still very happy with satahip,with the mrs at 5 months,every monthly check up at 8.30am fridays they have video and doctors speaking on how to look after the baby before and after birth, to all mother and fathers to be...before your check up [9.30].

and all staff very nice.

The same was told to us in the bkk ptt,doctor checked my wife and said ill be back in an hour to do ceaserian,25 minutes later staff were on the phone to him to come lil lil as my wife was about to drop, as he arrived back my daugher debbie was almost out,. the best day of my life, but the doctors trying it on still to do a c-section is not on, dont forget all the hospitals here are a business and will try it on,..just go into a doctor for a headache, youll come out with a worse one with 15 different medicines !

I've had discussions with BPH and PIH regarding birth and they both avoid the issue of fees and yes, they see a caesarian as "normal" because it generates more fees. They do not have a set fee scale but try to see how much your are willing to pay.
