@ Beebee and folusho, I will also be travelling early October to Houston. Using whmc and Dr La, would also wanna hook up. Maybe we can form a bbm group or something. Just thinking.

Hello, i'l also be in Houston from end of November, using Dr Rizk at WHMC. The bbm group isn't a bad idea, pls let's connect other houston bound mamas in the house.

Congrats to all the new mamas and papas, congrats too on visa approvals. I'm back to Naija and I'm fully settled now. Had my baby at Oakbend Medical Centre and I used Dr Fagbohun. Thanks to all that made me discover this wonderful hospital/doctor. The cost I incurred where as follows: doctor - $1920, hospital - $2150, labs - $220, reg/scan - $300, pediatrician - $380, epidural - $800. The nurses were very professional and nice and the environment was superb. I had my personal labour room and post natal room (non shared). I stayed with a friend in Sugarland and when my hubby joined me we moved to his cousin's at Katy. Both locations were less than 30 minutes drive from the hospital and the doctors office. Baby's birth certificate was ready in 2 days, SSN in 8 days and passport in 13 days. I flew Delta and I had the worst experience anyone could think of. From delays in obtaining a sky-rocketed priced return ticket for my baby to almost running into my connecting flight in Atlanta and then to carrying my baby in my arms throughout the journey (please don't depend on their bassinet as only 2 moms on some special seat can have it). As if that was not enough, on arrival, 2 of my boxes didn't arrive with me. I was told to come back the following day meanwhile I had an Owerri flight to catch that day. To cut a long story short, Delta is not it o for nursing moms so be warned.

Found the details using google. tnx


Can you please help provide Dr. Fagbohun's details. Thanks

Good day everyone, i have been a silent reader of this forum and its been wonderful. please can i get a spread sheet of the cost of giving birth in the usa. i would really appreciate if it is sent to my email address sadephilips@yahoo.com. God bless you All

Zime; check page 105 of this thread.

@virtousdiva sent u a pm

Hallo, for hospitals in indianapolis. theres IU West they charge around $6400 for 48hrs. Got a Drs fee for 1910. There are other hospitals and most of them are within that price range. It also depends on where in indianapolis you would be staying. Elkhart General Hospital is 3hrs away and more affordable. If you can, go to indianapolis and a couple of weeks before edd go to elkhart, hotels are affordable. There's St Vincent, St Francis and again it depends on your location. would try to post more hospitals in Indianapolis and their prices. or send me a pm.

hope i helped

Hello, first I just want to say that this is a wonderful thread, lots of useful info. Its a pity I found out about this thread AFTER I had my baby in the US earlier this year. lol
Anyways, I just want to provide helpful info for the person who asked about another doctor in West Houston Medical Centre. I had my Son there in Feb this year, my doctor was Dr Jeanie Huynh. Fantastic doctor! A friend's sis-in-law had used her before so I went to her and I must say, i'm glad I did. She also did my son's circumcision and it was fantastic. I had emailed the doc's office and also faxed my medical report in advance. They didnt accept payment in advance anyway, had to pay everyth when I got there. So here's what I spent a few months ago:

Dr Huynh's Fee - $2,000
Additional OBtests @ Doc's office - $270 (please do as many of the tests as you can do in Naija)
Circumcision - $255
Hospital Fee - $4,000 (I ended up having a C-Section coz I developed PIH when I arrived in the US)
Epidural - $1,200
Paediatrician - $93 (Dr Huynh's office suggested a paediatrician to me that also gives discount to Dr Huynh's patients so this was quite cheap. Otherwise I would have spent $800 if I had used WHMC's Paed).

. I understand that having a baby in the US can be daunting, esp if you havent done it before so it pays to have people assitst with first-hand info, questions, clarifications etc. Am available to help sha.
I wish everyone a success in this quest and all the blessings of parenthood!!! May our investments in our children's future by having them in the US be fruitful in Jesus Name!

Good morning. Please help with the contact info. Been able to get the Doctor's address and phone number. do you have the email address? Regards

We av set up a bb grp u can send ur pin thru PM so we can add you
