12 to 14 week pregnancy at Landing, Qorax and All seniors

[toronto2011]

Dear Qorax,


When we will land in Alberta, my wife will be 12 to 14 week pregnant. Currently there is ectopic pregnancy anomaly in the pregnancy however, we are hopeful to control it before landing. My question is although Permanent Residents are covered in Alberta's Healthcare plan yet what could be average expenditures per month ( if any) one have to pay for pregnant woman.

Sorry to hear that...
I'm sure by now u r already aware of the complete scenario of Eccysis [Tubal Pregnancies] - so, pls take appropriate medical counselling & a wise/r decision.

And Kanamen has a valid point there too.
We pray that things'd work-out well for u guys and the mother & child will be hale & hearty!

Said that, as your medicare shall be available from day-1, u have no fear of any costs towards hospitalization, physician & clinical services. However, drugs will be a serious expense nonetheless. And with that anomaly u may be looking at a severe dent in your pocket.

BTW, u may also like to touch-base with this org, imdt upon landing:
