Kikikikikikikikikikikikikiki. Let me join the Kikikikikikikikikikikikikiki laughter group @ Enizo. You were not worried about your baby's last name before? Don't worry, hope she traveled with the marriage certificate if need be. What's important is the father's consent and legal means of identification like biodata page of your international passport.

So here is my POE gist.
I give all praise and glory to God for his goodness and favour.(Man proposes God disposes)
I flew with BA from Lagos, travelled at 32wks+, fit to fly was only asked for at check in not in the plane,
Customs didn't stress me at all,they said ha big belle be going o grin
Got to London at 5am but the wheel chair assistance I requested for didn't show but I still have small energy so I walked to the General lounge,sat,dozed,charge phone,had breakfast while waiting for my flight to JFK scheduled for 10am but gate unknown. (to be displayed at 9am)
At 8:45am info displayed on screen changed to flight delays to 12noon.
I waddled to BA counter to confirm,BA said it's AA that's flying me so I should go talk to them, I said bros na BA collect money for my hand na what's all this passing me around. He said sorry maam but I can't access the full info here, it's AA pple that will do that.
Got to AA counter,the hot chick there collect my ticket,check the system said uhmm due to the delay you are going to miss your connecting flight to CMH,the earliest you will get to your final destination is midnight shocked embarassed
But I can reroute you through Charlotte NC(new POE instead of JFK) and you will get to CMH by 6pm and the flight leaves in 45mins.I said go ahead but I need the wheel chair assistance,she organised everything sharply, printed new itinerary for me,called the boarding gate cheesy
Na so I board plane to Charlotte o (in all my travels I have never passed thru here),flight wasn't full,had 4 seats to myself,ate,slept,watch film. 1 hour before landing,I pick my Command the morning and started praying.
Landed safely, was wheeled straight to the front.
CBP:Hello
Me:Hi
Cbp:why are you here
Me:To have my baby( note: I was seated,my handbag was on my lap and he couldn't see that am pregnant so I could have lied and say vacation and be done but my spirit says be honest,you have prayed)
Cbp:Why (his face changed)
Me: Healthcare is better here
Cbp:Did you inform the embassy
Me: No but I did drop box, so no interview and I sent an email.
Cbp:Gave me a green tag,held my passport and sent me to secondary inspection.
Got there,there was a queue,a woman came and directed that I should taken to a room but before I got to the door, my name was called by another officer.
Wheeled to him,you said you want to have your baby here.
Me:Yes
Officer:Why
Me:Better healthcare.
Officer:You had a baby here in 20..
Me:Yes
Officer:Did you pay for it?
Me:Yes
Officer:Do you have proof?
Me; Yes.(note: I have a whole envelope with copies of receipts from hospital,obgyn,paediatrician,epidural,pic taken of her at birth at hospital,most recent pic taken 2 weeks ago,copies of data page of her green and blue passport)
Officer:smiles and said I can see you are well prepared.
Checked everything.Where is she? She looks cheeky.
Me:She is back home with her dad because of school.
Officer:Are they coming later
Me:Yes.next month
Officer:Ok.when is your due date?
Me:xxxxx
Officer:Ok.In case of complications,am just saying and you need more than 6 months make sure you contact xyz so that you won't have issues renewing your visa ok.
Congratulations.
All these happened within 20 mins.Had 1 luggage with orisirisi inside,declared that I have food but didn't specify,scan my luggage and he said bye.
Sorry for the long story grin

its no issue, it's the name she fills on the form that will appear on the child's birth certificate and subsequently U.S passport.

Enizo,

Just be nice to Madam so that she can put down your name for the bc.

A friend and her husband couldn't agree on baby name a few years back and she threatened not to put his surname and he would have to come back to the US and seek her consent to include his name. Apparently, father's name can be 'unknown'.

She doesn't need any help. Just fill the name (s) as you want it on the birth certificate.
Do you think it's all the Americans that change their name when they marry?

Regardless of what name is on her passport... She has to write her maiden name when filling the birth certificate in the space for mother

[quote author=Nictos post=42971856]Hello Familia,
Can anyone please shed more light on the JPS ob pack (Self Pay).

Kai my long post disappeared angry Anyhoo Biko all the old timers and ghost visitors on this thread should do us a favor and tell us when things go wrong with hospital billing depts. Coz I know that 'zero' balance is not always so straightforward to get.

On this JPS package a friend who used it was charged extra 22k dollars coz according to her even though she had paid her initial bill in full, she got an extra bill for 2,700 a day to departure from Amelica and paid it 2months later. JPS billing said she had exceeded d time limit for self pay package and charged her d extra dough. The only offer was: how long do u want your payment plan to be lipsrsealed Hmmm les be wise oh. Already e don enter collectors matter.

@ Nictos sorry I didn't ans your question directly but just to share so u can have a rounded view.

Biko my thread darlings If things go wrong with billing let's share so that people will be better informed and the house can guide u on what to do. I had the same issue with my 1st journey and its peeps here that showed me the way.

I hv talked enough. Sorry for d long post!
