Pregnant women along Nunavik's Ungava Bay coast can no longer chose to give birth in Montreal instead of Kuujjuaq. And the Tulattavik health board has also decided it won't cover any transportation or living costs for escorts accompanying pregnant women who live outside Kuujjuaq. But this trio will be together when the baby of Nikita Etok (centre) of Kangiqsualujjuaq is born Jan. 9 in Montreal.
