Good morning ladies, I came across this thread some days ago and I just want to sign in. March mum here! I will also share my experience so far in a bit. In all God has been faithful! Congratulations to all new moms, all the best to all MTBs and TTC mums. We will all experience the miracle of birth IJN.

[quote author=drfdee post=38783169]Please who know a very very affordable hospital for delivery in Maryland for somone working wiv a very tight budget.......tanx


I have details of a very good doctor and hospital and ridiculously affordable rates in Virginia.. About 3hrs from Maryland. Do you have family in Maryland or are you thinking of renting? If it's the latter then you might want to check out Virginia.

My dear the story is not straight forward! Asking for the name of the hospital lemme google it them no Gree! They r just quoting without documentation. I don't want any xtra bill or stories that touch the pocket!!

So San Antonio prospective mamas I have been on the phone all day and I am happy with my results. I just have to go with the doctors, hospital reviews and my gut in choosing as the average hospital cost is $3000 and doctors fee from $2005-$2500

I will come back with a detailed post of costs and names. If we are allowed to post it on here.

That doesn't sound very cost effective. ..
6 weeks at $200 per visit. ...
U have almost spent d most part of a complete obgyn delivery package so far. ....
Review well

Yeah not cost effective at all, I came out here while I was early in my pregnancy. So I had to see the OBGYN for routine checkups, scans etc. I am ready to leave now with to be back for birth next year.

DH wants us to go to San Antonio instead so I'll narrow my search to SA and see if I get a good deal. Sadly I have read through the treads and no info on San Antonio.

Thanks.

If your budget is tight, stay away from Orlando. There are no cheap hospitals or doctors and everything is billed separately so you'll end up paying a lot more that you planned.

I'm currently in orlando, had my baby here (Winnie palmer hospital) and i paid a lot more than the quotes you have so I know first hand that the cost is not friendly at all.

Thanks a lot Shelly for replying.. I'll continue my research, I have an OBGYN whom I have been seeing for the past 6 weeks, and I pay $200+ for every appointment.

Congrats on your LO.

Hello NLs,

New MTB here.. I have read alot and I am grateful for finding this site.

Answers to a few questions will help.

I Planned to have my baby in Orlando as I have family there, but the cheapest I got is 3500 doctors, 4700 hospital totaling 8,200k (WinterPark Memorial). I am working with a tight budget so I want to make sure I am getting the best and cheapest deal.

I have the option to go to any other city in Florida or San Antonio, Philadelphia and New Jersey (any experience in the mentioned cities or states? Figures will help)

Please please please. I promise to give back with my experience and tips to help other people.

Many thanks.
