First of all Foz do Iguaçu is quite a long way from Rio, and a much smaller city. It would not have nearly the medical resources and accommodations that Rio does.

Since the vast majority of births here in Brazil are done by C-Section almost all of the doctors you may find will be well experienced in the procedure. Hopefully one of our local members will give you a better idea of the costs, but you're probably looking at something starting around R$16 thousand or more at a private hospital. Public hospitals are highly unadvisable.

You will not find short-term rentals of houses or apartments. You can check the following sites for flat rentals.

Neighborhoods you might wish to consider would be Leblon / Ipanema / Copacabana / Botafogo
