Hi! I'm pregnant and without insurance. The great thing is that you are not stuck with a hospital or clinic you don't like and can try something else. I would recommend you ( if you are healthy person living healthy life) to follow essential scans and check-ups (as if you take a package from the hospital/clinic you might pay for something you don't really require) : Week8: Fetal Heart Beat and antenatal screen Week12: Nuchal Translucensy Scan (Down syndrom) Week20: Morphology Scan Week25: GCT, CBC tests Week30: Doppler Scan and then as per your pregnancy. By now with all above (excluding Doppler) I ended up paying AED5445 including consultation charges/routine tests (I visited private clinics in Healthcare City and on Al-Wasl Road). I think, it's not too bad comparing with antenatal hospital packages, which normally do not include big scans (like Down Syndrome and Doppler etc.) in their packages; so, you would have to pay lots of extra. My obgyn from private clinic is arranging delivery in City Hospital. Charges: Normal delivery: AED 14500 (Hospital charges, Doctor charges, Baby package) Cesarean: AED 27000 (Hospital charges, Doctor charges, Baby package) So, without insurance, it's expected to be spent around AED 23000 for normal pregnancy. Please, don't take my post as paradigm and contact hospitasl and clinics to COMPARE their rates. I've done a lot of research and came up to understanding, that the best place to deliver is City Hospital and the best clinic to be observed is private ( like ''Femiclinic'' in Healthcare City is great, ''Cooper'' on Al-Wasl, ''Healthbay'' in Umm-Suqeim etc). Also, make sure, if you go to a private clinic, that your obgyn is authorize to deliver in City Hospital (or at hospital you plan to give birth). Good Luck to you and your little one! edited by longinjumeirah on 13/05/2014 hi ! i know this thread is very old , but i needed to know ..... @longinjumeirah , did you finally deliver at city hospital and what were the charges ? i seem to be getting different info from different people .... i called City hospital and asked for their charges , they told me its around 13K ... but some friends have told me it normally goes upto 35k + for normal delivery !! how much did you end up paying ?
