Hellobee Boards

Welcome! I live in Houston, but I live in the central-west part so I'm not that familiar with your area. However, I have friends and family in League City, Clear Lake, Pearland, and Missouri City if you need more information.

As far as hospitals, you can't beat the Medical Center. Friends have delivered at Texas Women's and the Texas Children's Hospital - Pavilion for Women.

The food is great, the weather is nuts, and the people are super friendly. I love it here. I'm happy to email if you have more questions!

Welcome to Texas. I'm not in Houston either and my family is on the far north side, so not helpful. Good luck with the adjustment, it will be a pretty big change from what you know, but hopefully you like it.

@MountainBaby: yay! Another Houston Bee!!! We have a good group of Bees here in Houston and try to meetup on a regular basis!

As for that area, you should connect with @T-Mom: as she lives down there.

I deliveres at Texas Childrens Pavilion for Women and loved it!! But that might be a bit far for you.

Best of luck and keep an eye out for a summer Houston Meet-up! We have been here since 2009 and really found a good group of people and places!!

Hi! I also live in Houston, we have a really nice group of ladies living in this area I'm more in the middle of the city, so I don't have a ton of general recommendations regarding the area you'll be living in. OB-wise, I'll be delivering at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women, which I love and I also loooove my OB (Dr. Timmins). It's a bit far for you, but maybe doable? My coworker recently had her baby at the Pavilion and she lives in Clear Lake, though it was a bit easier in terms of appointments because we work really nearby. I would say maybe make some calls now to find an OB because in my experience some can get "full" quickly. I switched doctors around 12 weeks because I wanted to deliver at the Pavilion and I had to contact quite a few. Some OBs weren't taking any more Aug. patients at that point. Good luck with the move!

ETA: I also moved from the NE about three years ago. It's definitely different here, but I love it so far! Summers are hot, but then winters are mild, so it's a tradeoff

Welcome to town! I'm on the west side, but my grandparents are down in Seabrook, so maybe we'll cross paths one day

Definitely get on finding an OB. It took me 6 doctors before I found one who would take me when I moved here in late 2014 at 33 weeks. I delivered at TX Children's, and while I didn't love it as much as everyone else seems to, it was certainly fine, and I did like the OB (even if I didn't know her particularly well after transferring). Feel free to PM me for her info if you need it.
