Lol when I dey tell una say BA is the worst airline flying to naija, una no wan hear. The days of BA being the best, has long gone. It's like they send their worst planes and hostesses to Nigeria. It's terrible!

BVNO:
I'm first time mum and 6months gone and my tommy is still very small. I'm a little bit concern. Although the doctor said the size is okay but to me the size is just like I'm 4 months gone.


Thank You.

Please first time mum and experience mothers should please share their experience on this...

# I know this is not the right place to post this, I just wanted to know if someone has this same experience#

Your response would be highly appreciated.

Thank You.

NO dear, its NOT[b][/b] possible to have a CS without anaesthetic, dats suicide mission. You know how painful a minor knife cut is when slicing e.g orange; then imagine the pain of slicing thru ur stomach and womb. No hospital would try such, not even a slaughter house.

Lollz.... Am sure Mr Phema is doing a great job spoiling her already.

Attention Atlanta Mums,

I called Gwiwnnett price estimate line and the automated system said their hospital fees were:

4-6k for normal delivery with 40% discount for self pay
10-12 k for cs with same discount for self pay.

HOWEVER,
I had sent them an email over the weekend when I was considering porting from northside since I couldn't seem to get a doctor there to take me at 35weeks. I got their reply this morning which stated a whopping 2x increase . Read a portion below:

"Prices are based on level of care and length of stay. On average, patients who experience a normal vaginal delivery and remain in our facility for 2 days incur charges from $8,000 to $10,000.

Patients who deliver by caesarian who remain in our facility for 4 days incur charges from $15,000 to $25,000. "

(And of course you know this excludes physicians fee, anaestheasia, paediatricians fee etc...)

I called the financial counsellor whose number was on the email and told her that their voice prompt gave me a different quote from her email. She put me on hold for a few minutes to confirm this and got back to me apologizing that the voice prompt had not been updated yet, and that this was the new price estimate ! She also said they dont do more than a 40% discount, and that if I was "STRUGGLING" financially I should applY for Medicaid! ( which of course I would NEVER do)!

So for those of us intending to birth at Gwinnett, please be aware of this price review, don't be shocked after delivery. E no go funny!

@Shawbabe
Thats true o, had my baby there on the 3rd of december and i got a bill of 9547 and my baby 1028 and 67 for visit to peadtrician, this price is before 40% discount……..and not what i expected at all…it was a vaginal delivery o……so pls my advice is go to an hospital with a fixed price and not an estimate…..cos u never can tell what the bill will look like at the end……..not a straight forward bill at all.
