Don't know much about mainland. But I get from Daytona pharmacy and Ebeano supermarket in Lekki phase 1. You may need to buy in bulk as they run out of stock really fast. akindolz: |

Hello good people in the house,a friend gave me Info about nairaland. I arrived US 4 days ago to have my baby,HoustonTexas to be precise I have $4500 on me and i am 34weeks gone. Kindly advice which hospital or birth center that i can afford with this amount. Thanking you in anticipation as I earnestly await your response. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Shawbabe: 5:18am On Jun 14, 2015 |
akindolz: Similac Advanced (the blue one) in naija is N10,500 for the powder. Something that is $24 in yankee. Gerber is N12k in naija. U are better off buying SMA Gold. If u don't want to ship from yankee. Except u don't mind spending almost a $100 equivalent for just one tub Similac in naija which will last about 10 days. Then u buy another one. For Abuja residents, H Medix sells Similac and Gerber. Dunno for Lag. @Nef, sucre26, popri, Phema and Akindolz yall welcome. |

stlov: For me I didn't use a shipping company, coz the quote them give me reach $1500. So I bought big duffle bags like 3 and sent 1 with my hubby's friend going to naija then. Paid the $200 luggage fee. Then my husband and I took the rest with us. But u have to deflate and unbox every item u buy for space when u pack. So u might wanna check if paying for excess baggage is better for u versus using a shipping company. 3 Likes |

betty24: E go hard oh. Coz it seems it's from 5k and above for hospitals. And they'll now pressure u to use Medicaid. So u just upped and left with $4500 and no hospital in mind? U are a brave woman oh 12 Likes |

This your budget is extremely tight and a bit too risky, even without Epidural it's going to be difficult for you to get a hospital in this range. Maybe with plenty of research you can pull it off but you have very little time for that considering you are 34wks. My advice is (1) see if you can increase your funds (2) look for a hospital with a payment plan, I know some people who finished paying their bills spread over 6months after they returned to Naija (3) Please don't be tempted to use Medical Aid just look for an alternative. Good luck. betty24: 1 Like |

If you are not a first time mum, try a birthing centre. Someone used one at Elpaso last year and total cost was less than $2k or so. That may be the best option. All the best. betty24: 2 Likes |

betty24: If not that you are 34 weeks gone, you would have carried out a door to door search... but right now, it's fire brigade mode. most hosps may not take you at that stage Maybe you should try negotiating a payment plan with any hosp that takes you, so that you don't get stressed out. And please don't take medicaid. Btw, how did you cross Houston POE with $4500 and no hosp plan/correspondence! You are very Brave! 3 Likes |

betty24: If this is your first then it's a bit dicey but if not and you're not a CS candidate then a birthing centre is ideal. Find a birthing centre near you and negotiate with a midwife. Otherwise get a doctor that is affiliated with Oakbend ( I think it's cheaper than Methodist) depending on what part of Houston you're at. Pay the doctor,test and epidural(if you're having one) and do a payment plan with the hospital (make sure you pay off before you go and renew your visa)Meanwhile,if you have kept something for shopping reduce it and add to the birthing money. I understand you took a calculated opportunity. Good luck. 1 Like |

nefertitiram: I don't think crossing POE with that amount is a problem. I crossed with only $40 Canadian sef not USD. And no hospital correspondence either. I think those CB officers dey look face b4 them stop u lol Or could just be she's well traveled in the US. But she's brave to go with that amount for bills and no hospital in mind. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by favoredgal: 5:41pm On Jun 14, 2015 |
betty24: Personally I won't advice a birthing center, if complications arose you may have to use Medicaid. Try govt hospitals like Ben taub. Someone on the past thread used them, I also know someone that used it in 2012 and spent about $4k, it's just shared recovery room and diff drs at your appointment 1 Like |
