I'm in Chicago and every time I go to the doctor's office I have to pay $4 - 6 ($4 for less than an hour, $6 for longer visits). We're TTC and I'm on clomid, so I have to go in constantly for various tests and ultra sounds.
How often do you go see your doc once you are actually pregnant?? Every month and then every week? Sounds like a lot of parking fees, haha.
Do you pay for parking and if so, how much?

We pay $2 an hour for parking at my OB's office- much better than the hospital at least!

Possibly more.
At 17 weeks I've been.. 4x.

my office validates parking, so you don't pay anything. they also have another office outside the hospital where there is a parking lot with no fee

Not preggo, but my obgyn's office does not charge parking. Only time you pay for parking is if you're in Downtown Dallas.

Not pregnant now, but my hospital had free parking when I was pregnant with DS. I'm so glad I didn't have to pay! Most of my appointments were 2 hours long!

We live in a small town in the middle of Kansas. Everybody drives every where so there's parking lots everywhere you go and parking is always free.

No parking fees for us, and our doc shares parking with the hospital that we'll deliver at, so we won't pay for that either. I wish there was valet, that sounds awesome.

I'm in Chicago too, and the validated rate at mine is $9. To make it even better, they don't validate the garage actually in the building that's $14/hour, so it's $9 to walk a couple blocks to their office. I've started taking the bus.

Yes but it's only a dollar. I always say I should just park on the street but I never leave early enough to look for parking, so I end up just going into the lot.

Free street parking at my OB's and a free lot at the hospital where I go to get scans.

ugh! why do they charge you guys to park? parking is free at my OB, and it's in the city! (in Providence).

My OB's office is right across the street from a big hospital downtown and there's not free parking anywhere. I can park in the garage of the building for $2 or on the same block at a meter for less. If I park a block away at a meter, it's way cheaper! I haven't parked at the hospital so I'm not sure about for L&D, but I imagine we'll have to pay.

No parking fees for me at office or hospital, so lucky. My 29 weeks and have been to the doctor 7 times, and now my appointments have increased to every two weeks now that I have hit my 3rd trimester, man that would add up! They need to validate
