RE: We Made It to the Hospital - Giving Birth in Panama Part 2
This sounds very familiar as my wife delivered 4 of our 6 overseas. We waited a bit too long for our third and so our experience was similar to yours. I still had to fill out a lot of paperwork and make a downpayment while my wife was wondering where I was.
Blessings to your growing family!
Yeah we had to give a $1500 deposit to them and we misread the receipt and thought it said $500. We had to go back a few days later and have them refund part of the money since we only stayed overnight and our bill was $650! Apparently they want to keep the husbands busy since they normally don't go into the delivery room here! This was at a private hospital. I hear the public hospital is like $25, but then you have no say in what happens... I had a very good "natural" doctor who let me say what I wanted to happen. :)
