Delivery in Baypointe Hospital in Freeport Zone. It's more expensive than some other hospitals but higher quality service. Epidural by a separate anesthesiologist. C-section performed because cervix not dilate (open up) enough. Good experience overall. Must pay doctors in pesos. Can use credit card for other hospital services
