';your in Canada and have a high risk pregnancy they send you to a US hospital because Canada...';





Heh, heh. That's a good one. I also enjoyed the one about the hospitals being ';full.'; That's an amusing image, all these women in labour in a queue of cars at Customs, heading for...wait, are they heading for the top-notch care offered in those wee border towns that're too small for hospitals? Or are they driving hours and hours to a city, legs crossed? It's a hilarious image either way.





';Infant mortality rates, which reflect the health of the mother and her access to prenatal and postnatal care, are considered one of the most reliable measures of the general health of a population. Today, U.S. government statistics rank Canada's infant mortality rate of 4.7 per thousand 23rd out of 225 countries, in the company of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Australia, and Denmark. The U.S. is 43rd--in the company of Croatia and Lithuania, below Taiwan and Cuba.


All the countries surrounding Canada or above it in the rankings have tax-supported health care systems. The countries surrounding the United States and below have mixed systems or are, in general, extremely poor in comparison to the United States and the other G8 industrial powerhouses.


There are no major industrialized countries near the United States in the rankings. The closest is Italy, at 5.83 infants dying per thousand, but it is still ranked five places higher.


In the United States, infant mortality rates are 7.1 per 1,000, the highest in the industrialized world -- much higher than some of the poorer states in India, for example, which have public health systems in place, at least for mothers and infants. Among the inner-city poor in the United States, more than 8 percent of mothers receive no prenatal care at all before giving birth.';

I can't blame somebody for wanting to cross the border... You're also less likely to be subjected to outdated and potentially harmful interventions giving birth up here.





But, uh, yeah, you need to narrow it down. Do you want to give birth in Halifax? Victoria? Iqaluit?





Re. CHEO in earlier answer: yes, a good hospital, but you can't _deliver_ there... The Ottawa Civic and General hospitals have the market cornered on the high-risk stuff, I think. But, I'd look into the Queensway-Carleton. There's a little 'virtual tour' of its maternity ward on the web site:

I encourage any confused or curious Americans to check out the god-awful facilities Canadian hospitals offer:

Umm . . . Canada is massive. Where exactly are you going? What province? What city? I'd love to help you, but I need more info





Well, I live in Montreal, which is in Quebec. We have many excellent hospitals in the city. Some noted for their prenatal care are: The Montreal Children's Hospital (one of the best childcare hospital in the country), St. Mary's Hospital, the Lasalle Hospital (located in the borough of Lasalle, excellent maternity unit). This is from personal experience.


However, if you don't speak any French, Quebec migh not be the place for you. Our capital city, Ottawa, has an excellent children's hospital, called CHEO (the children's hospital of Eastern Ontario). I have no personal experience at this hospital, but I hear it is very good.
All I know is when the hospitals are full in Canada they come over her to the US to deliver. You might want to check at that first.
there are alot of good hospitals here in canada, but not sure how much it will be for ur wife to deliever here
If you wife is going to have a high risk pregnancy then Canada isn't the place to go. I heard a news report that if your in Canada and have a high risk pregnancy they send you to a US hospital because Canada doesn't have the resources to care for a high risk pregnancy or a baby that may need to be in the NICU. I do not Know the cost or a good hospital but I would be cautious about the quality of care she may receive.
