Hello wonderful Nlanders
I am seeking out anyone who has given birth in colombus Ohio.I have searched the thread for mount camel hospital and only one mention was made by beepearl03 in pt2. help with info about surprise bills, Dr etc.Nagode in advance. Also what's the best way to get to Ohio without passing through Houston and Chicagooooooo!

Information about birthing in Ohio here is basically next to zero.
I gave birth at Riverside Hospital in Columbus Ohio in 2012.after a 40% discount.hospital bill for mother and baby amount to almost $12000.Obgyn:$3500 including all tests.Epidural $1800 but 35% discount was given.
Note: this was a normal delivery no complications,no NICU,2 day stay.
In Ohio,most hospitals are under 1 umbrella called Ohiohealth.so do your research very well before you make a final decision.

Hello Good People,
Kindly advise and assist with the following:-
(1) two years ago, wifey n I had our first child in Wisconsin got visa and entry was smooth no issue. 2 years down d line, we applied via dropbox and visa granted . After this, the following doubts arose hence why I need you guys help:-
(1) During the first interview we told them we were going to deliver hence no issue but in filling the DS160 form, we picked b1/b2 and since there is no where to indicate that we are going to have our child, thinking is it s must to write a letter of intent to the embassy to inform them about this? Or there is no need? Going to Houston for the first Time and I heard the POE can be funny sometimes especially if your intent isn't clear, pls advise
(2) Has anybody been in this situation before, if yes, what do u advise?
[3] Can anybody assist with sample copy of similar email sent to the embassy in respect of this?
(4) Also, we are using Oakbend hospital for Richmond, can anybody give referrals of concierge services or flats or apartment we can rent or use? What has been your experience with Doctor Ziworitin and his team?
(5) Is it also a must to write or inform the embassy if your destination is changing? In our form we cchoose Wisconsin but host has relocated hence the change to Texas, is this a challenge as well?
Please I will appreciate Ffirst hand information regarding my questions.
Thanks and God bless.

I just joined nairaland and i have been reading a lot, this thread as given me hope again. I am 32weeks pregnant and am already in the U.S in my sister's place in California. Got in about 2weeks ago and i have been trying to get a very reasonable hospital, but everyone around here are asking for my arm and leg. Starting from 15,000 and above for the hospital bill and the OB. Been so worried, until i spoke to a friend who told me to go on nairaland and register, which i did and i thank God. I have been reading since then and came across a post from Cutelass saying she is also in California and her hospital bill and OB is less than 5000. Awwwwwwwww please i really need ur help, I stay in Vacaville, 7hrs away from St Francis hospital, please how do i get to contact you. So u can put me tru on what to do. Thank u

If you want to use airbnb, ensure you tell your host you are pregnant and will have a baby at the latter end of your stay. I used airbnb on my first missionary journey and they host midstay started saying how she doesn't like children in her apartment.

36 weeks is risky? When would be a good time? We all learn every day.
Seen Olokings posts. Will read up, thanks.

ekpotek:
Hi all,
Any idea of affordable accommodation in Brooklyn NY for extended stay at least 3 months for birthing purpose. We intend to use New York Methodist hospital, Brooklyn. Thanks

XX01:
Please guys, I want to ask a "very stupid question" . Which should come first, doctor then hospital or hospital then doctor? Should I look for a cheap hospital then search for a doctor or vice versa?
For VBAC, it seems like it's not so easy to find VBAC doctors that will take me at 36 weeks.
I need answers from those that are more experienced.
I appreciate.

bubelahot:
Please mamas in the house. How do you take your newborn home...Do you use a carseat\ stroller or you use the baby sling. Which one is more convinent especially if your traveling back to Nigeria alone.

Thanks in advance.
