Best hospitals to deliver a baby

I have been attending Women's First OBGYN in Royal Oak for my prenatal care. I will be 30 weeks Monday and they just informed me that Royal Oak Beaumont does not accept my insurance, which is the hospital they are associated with. I have to call my insurance but I don't think any Corewell hospital will accept my insurance. Any recommendations for good hospitals and associated OB clinics in the area? I am not from here and have only been living here a couple years, have never even been to a hospital in Michigan. This is kind of a nightmare. Thank you

Edit: Women's First gave me recommendations for clinics in Roseville, Chesterfield, Macomb, and Grosse Pointe, all associated with Henry Ford St John's. Besides Grosse Pointe these are all pretty far away, I live in Oak Park and work in Detroit. I don't know anything about St John's. If there is a better option I'd love to hear about it

Wire transfer question

What's the fastest you have had a wire transfer go through from Capital One to an external domestic account? Sitting at the car dealership waiting, initiated the wire at 10:54 AM. They won't give us the plates until they receive it, but we could leave with the car without the plates and come back next business day.

▲ 2 r/ATT

I recently got ATT First Net is because I work at a jail and can't have service without it. We also have ATT 2.0, just started the plan. It is just me and my husband on the plan. I am having to pay for ATT 2.0 and FirstNet for my device which is $74.50 ($31.50 + $42.99) a month and then $31.50 a month for his service. We got him a iPhone 17e because his phone was an 11 and wouldn't even charge anymore, they told us it would be $7 a month with some promotion but the bill is showing $16.67 a month. The bill is showing $9.20 in taxes/fees for the FirstNet plan, $9.14 for my husband's device and $6.40 for mine.

This totals $147.42 for two people. Seems kind of ridiculous. I'm wondering if it's necessary for me to have both the FirstNet service and ATT 2.0 on the same phone. Did we get the bait-and-switch on the installment plan for the iPhone 17e? This is the first bill and there's also an additional $70 of activation fees making this bill $223. Looking for any advice or are we just stuck with this.

Since about 23 or 24 weeks I have not been able to have comfortable vaginal sex due to sensitivity/irritation/pain in at my vaginal opening. Doctor says it's normal due to baby restricting blood flow, hormones, etc. We stopped entirely about a week ago because it's just not enjoyable at all and I'll be 28 weeks in 2 days. I was wondering if this improved for anyone before baby came or is this my new reality for the next 3 months and then some? We tried lube but it's just not doing it. My husband is super supportive but it makes me feel blah to have this new dysfunction.
