Need a Reco for Where to Have the First Trimester Screening in Chicago
I'm 11 weeks pregnant and need to schedule my first trimester screening.
My doc has recommended a clinic with the U of Chicago, but that is very inconvenient for me to get to.
I'd prefer someone within the Northwestern Memorial network located in the downtown area. Any recommendations?

My sister works at NW downtown labor/delivery area. From what she says, that's a top notch hospital. For me, I had a high risk specialist at Adventist Hinsdale who was great with both my pregnancies.
Good luck!

I'm not super excited with the other births I've heard out of Northwestern. There may be a reason that your doc rec'd U of C. You could also try Rush...I've heard they have awesome midwives at UIC.
I was very happy with my Evanston Hospital (now Northshore) birth experience and I'm on the northside. And yes, I had a midwife in a OBGYN practice so I could get the hands-on, listening care.
Whatever you choose, wishing you the best!

Maternal Fetal Group at Northwestern is the absolute best! I had two sons there in the past three years, and I plan to have my next one there, too!

Dr. Marilyn Fredericksen with Northwestern ###-###-####. She is a bit of a cold fish but the best in the business. Good Luck.
