Sistas and brodas, YES, St Francis does give those light foldable strollers for bigger toddlers, not the new-born stroller+carseat o. MHG in LA also used to give free car seat for newborns that time... So IT IS POSSIBLE. But then, Make everyborry manage their expectations dot com ohhh! I don see some kin thing before oh. Somebody got some big and glorious gift from hospital because guys in charge there were so moved by the peculiarity of her case, na so all the other mamas begin go there dey demand same treatment... Naija style! You know nah..."Mrs X got it, so you owe me same!" By the time we reach there dey ask, what we got was "word does travel swiftly in the Nigerian community, doesn't it? Before you speak, I know you're about to ask about xyz... its not a normal occurrence and not part of the package" LadyGuinivere: 2 Likes |

Thank u Nathz45, theleakytribe, lawyer123, omodadi2, simababe, Nnystc, biollar1, LadyG, Egonne1, ChicMalkia, Ajuju2, Harjeehbaday. For some reason, the bp came to normal when my naija consultant checked himself 3 days b4 my travel cos I was told if he took the reading himself and it was high, he wld order an emergency c-section. The day I was discharged from St Francis, the dr told me I was inches away from having a seizure...and that when seizure occurs...placenta abrupts and cuts off oxygen supply to the baby. Baby neva makes it and for the life of mother...it's a 50-50 thing (had to be placed on oxygen at some point before I delivered). 2 Likes 2 Shares |

@nnystc, Abi oo. All na babies. @all, What u think of st Francis as per huge cost difference? Biko I've already bought Houston via emirate. Do I get connecting flight to California? Which airline? Then I've gotten Dr m--u number via omary83 post. Will call him for details. |

cutelass: Wow. Congrats dear. I think you were the one i saw my first day at the Dr's office with your LO mum and aunty. Didn't know you went through all these. May God's name be praised. And like you said, the Dr. Is a God sent. Nice to a fault. May God bless him. He even offered to collect his fees via wire transfer despite slashing his fees. And for those considering L.A., trust me it's so much better here. Used Oakbend and Dr F last time and i can tell the difference. There is also Metro bus and train to almost every where. Haven't spent up to 10 dollars on transportation since I came and I go out almost every day. Most times, the bus driver will just wave you and say dodnt bother paying. 16 Likes |

Nnystc: U may really need to port ooo cos even my aunty whose children all deliver at that 'C' hospital with that other Mb doctor confirmed st Francis had better services. She cldnt believe the cost in relation to services rendered. Said in that 'C' hospital, u had to share a room with another patient in post-partum but st Francis has private post-partum rooms. Also when I saw the doctor few days ago (follow-up visit to check if bp had normalized), he asked if I had any extra bills...I said yes $900, he said I wld hav paid 1600 for extra day at that 'C' hospital (u knw h delivers there also). His assistant said 'for thesame service' and he said st Francis is newer and their nurses are more efficient or something like dat...can't remember his exact word...just compare shaa...meanwhile, how much does that other dr. M charge? |

Nne, You don't have to tell me o... I used the other Dr.M and "C" Hosp... Waaaay higher. The doc sef nor dey look face (his pic is on "C's wall, as Mgt staff/ director so perhaps that's why he charges higher). Last time: Dr.M took 4.5k, C took 5k. This time no dulling, the PTA and $/N situation now plus card payment limits sef makes it easy to convince myself and family members there that recommended him. Off soon for a small trip over there, I will work on closing out and settling my bills in time for Aug/Sept sojourn. Thanks for the info! cutelass: 1 Like |

Nnem nor vex. Yankee na open country. The land of the free. No one has monopoly over any birthing destination. And for you to be porting, it means that you're concerned about cost, as a mama that is out to pay your bills (not like the d'jango Medicaid tribe). So why I go dey vex say you wan come our hometown? Only problem be say I nor get info about connecting flight. If to say I bin don float that airline I dey plan since, I for give you the info. Abi Nef, you don float ya own?? Seriously though LA receives flights from every state I'm sure. Don't forget its the celebrity capital and base. So connecting flight nor go hard. As usual, you can "giggle" or "goggle" it inside the "h'internet"! ijeomaobi1: 1 Like |

Nef, You nor know them? All the D'jango pipul... Dat na those wey go reach and collect free treatment (Medicaid, MediCal, No payment for service rendered... whatever name its called) and come home while beating their chest that they "beat the system". But seriously: They end up giving us a bad name, making the place unwelcoming for the rest of the people, subjecting some people to endless delays/detention at the POE, Visa denials for others, unnecessary scrutiny and distrust... no emphathy for our people etc... Naija, If we continue like this, we could even end up even putting the kids we went there to give birth to into problems (unnecessary back breaking policies, etc) For instance, just a thought : Imagine one takes the easy awoof route, and later at 18 or 21 years, the pickin is asked to pay up the cost of his birth with 21 years interest? would we then feel we made a good decision?

Check www.airbnb.com first. I am still on high jump looking for accommodation in Chicago but by God's grace I will get. I missed a nice one yesterday cos I didn't pay on time. the thing pain me ehn! sugah: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 4 by happytbaby: 12:05pm On May 07, 2016 |
Check other issues like accommodation, hospital ratings, NICU level first, If you are okay with them , then call Emirates to find out the cost of re-routing to LAX. If not feasible, check local flights, might be really cheap. I bought NY to Chicago for 84dollars (one way) per person last week. I even found 59dollars on Spirit Airlines but as we would have to still pay for ticket and me no sabi the airline before, I bought South West instead. But is it really advisable taking so many flights as a pregnant woman? ijeomaobi1: |
