Parisa.. will pm you shortly. Oh dont worry about your DS suffering. Jesse cried for 20 seconds when they gave him the local needle (he cries with every needle but can you blame him ) and the was fine during and after the proceedure. He didnt feel a thing and came out into the waiting room smiling and talking to me. Not sure.. i guess its up to the OB how much they charge and whether they claim from medicare on your behalf or not. Dr Bell doesnt claim for you from Medicare, you have to do that. But i know quite a few people who have had it done by him and all rave about him and how lovely he is. One of my current pregnancy Belly buddies actually sees him as an OB and loves him.
