Hi All,
Thanks for your reply. I am arriving in February 2005 and my wife is due in October 2005. During the three months period is it very expensive to go for regular check ups and ultrasounds?

Specialist's appointment(first time referral) is given by family doctor or a doctor in walk-in clinics. You cannot go straight to a specialist. Your family doctor will recommed when to go to gynecologist depending on the case.

Yeah, you usually see a specialist after the first trimester, but again, it depends on your family physician.
Like Raj mentioned, you have to see a family physician who will then recommend you a specialist. In the second trimester, you usually will have appts. with the obs. once every month. During the third trimester, the obs. may want to see your wife bi or tri weekly.

Are you there?
Then, Perhaps it works a bit differently in GTA or Ontario, Or maybe its gynec or physician dependant.
In Montreal, We never needed no referral to see our gynec.

don't worry
If your wife has a more than three months left than there are many charitable clinic in ontario which check regularly to your wife without charging.
But if you have less than three month than you become ready to pay hospital charges and extra medial test charges.
(But one more adwise if you come here and your wife need to hospitalise immidiatly don't give your SIN no , just say them i am new immigrant and i have just applied for that so iif might be helpful if you are not able to pay it doesn't iffect to your credit.)

My wife is pregnant and we are arriving in Ontario next week. Since we will not be insured until May 2005 by OHIP, will the government cover the cost of gynaelogical check ups for my wife.
Does OHIP cover the cost of child birth after 3 months?Is childbirth covered 100% in Canada or are there any out of pocket expenses. What is the cost of a C-section?
I appreciate your replies at
Thanks,
Sam
