Chicagomum:
Hello Mama's,

Please does anyone have any idea of a good birthing center in Chicago? Didn't find anything in the 2 parts...My budget is very tight so I am considering using a birthing center instead of a hospital.

@hastee sent you a mail please reply now. I have been expecting your response....

Thank you.

Check google and you will see a whole list, contact them and look at their reviews also
People here hardly use birth centres so u may not find info on that esp in Chicago

Hawttattoo:
My Edd was on the 2nd of August based on scan did at 9 weeks. I don't know which kpekus nailed it (according to Nef) as I wasn't even sure of my LMC.
After 2nd August,I was scheduled for induction on the 7th but i called and cancelled it a day before 7th seriously kabashing and building up my faith that labour will come before then. As I had my other kids without inducing and on time.
I started having mild contraction on the 7th, got to the hospital on the early hours of 8th. The labour was not progressing and induction was the only option since I was already 41 weeks.

Forgive my long post...

Congratulations on your bundle of joy..4.45kg, wow..weldone!
You had a natural start of labour, so you were augmented not induced
Congrats once more

shimk:
so people frustration wanted to kill me since yesterday.


went to carters yesterday and after selecting and selecting got to the counter to pay na dey said 756$

no wahala na. swiped my fcmb card it was declined, did it twice still declined

had to beg them to keep d stuff till today. got there today still couldnt use the card. sent a mail to customer service and dey said its cus

This new CBN policy was released yesterday and other banks will adhere soon unless it is reversed.
The limit is 300$ for POS too and 60,000NGN for tam withdrawals per day in Nigeria as to 150,000.
Its not nice at all, one will have to travel with adequate cash, my Stanbic opening of account and card swiping has entered voicemail now
So annoying!

dyout:
With this itinerary, where will be my POE?

POE- Houston

duchessgoddess:
hmmm... I'm really praying oh. even a week earlier would be appreciated. Thanks tho.

I advise u keep checking if u looking at Abj
I quickly jumped at the only available date 2 weeks ago for my mum and had to book 29th Sep which is waaay not it for me, but was scared that I may see Oct as the next date.
The next day, even 10th of Sep was available and many days before 29th, I had changed appointment before that day so couldn't reschedule.
Pls hold on a bit and check all through tomorrow, u may be lucky

nefertitiram:
Abi bottlefed! With enfamil newborn ready to feed bottle. Athey dont even want to mix the powder formula with water.
Just pop and swallow. As if those of us chewing bones, roaming the streets looking for doctors are from mars. 'Please help a sister, help a brother' I need info on Hawaii and Alaska childbirth' We lost info on this thread during.the tsunami! We still managed to build it up to over 600 pages of priceless information. Even Houston POE officers know this theead in and out! Haba!

If you research and come and give us info to replace MIHS you no do bad ooo
For all dem newbies that want to be bottle fed, here is your enfamil newborn bottle! Read the instructions sha. Do not add water!

Neff, I can't wait to meet u
So full of humor I must say
You crack me up alwaiz

@firstymum, Nefertitiram, and Olokings, I so love your sense of humor..

Hello Mommas,

Trust you're doing great today, I need to contact a doctor/hospital in Chicago or Indianapolis.

Thanks a bunch.

Got this from a nairaland mum:

Check Mount Sinai Hospital Chicago and get phone numbers to call
Doc fee was $2050 for vaginal delivery. I dint know this fee till after I delivered because they said they cannot give me a quote cos dey dont know how the delivery will be.
I paid $30 for each doc apppintment and all my tests from Nigeria was accepted by my doctor. He was also a Nigerian.
Then I paid an extra 202 dollars for something else but I was given a 50% discount so I ended up paying $101.
Everything was sha below $4,500.

When I got to the financial councellor they gave me a number for the doctors office. So I called to book an appointment.
Then the lady on the phone told me they actually do have a Nigerian doctor and they could make an appointment with him for me. I said I don't mind o. That id probably feel more at ease with him.
They were all nice there.
The doctors office is just about 2mins walk to the main hospital. They are a group of doctors affiliated with the hospital called Access (you can google access group of physicians affiliated with mount sinai chicago). So its them you pay not the doctors directly you get

sucre26:

Detty16:

Thanks popri. I really appreciate

That's a budget sheet sample not burden of proof but the budget sheet can be part of your burden of proof with other evidences backing it

Oops! I meant budget sheet as phema also called it
Sorry
