I agree on the public vs private hospital, but a third option is to do "half half" - deliver in a public hospital but have a private obgyn for the prenatal check ups. Many people also go this route.
An estimate of charges: delivery in a public hospital costs next to nothing, delivery in a private hospital can cost up to $100,000, private prenatal visits may be around $20,000 depending on how many you have and all that... and depending on how much your doctor charges too!!
