Please mamas in the house. How do you take your newborn home...Do you use a carseat\ stroller or you use the baby sling. Which one is more convinent especially if your traveling back to Nigeria alone.

Good day all,

The situation with my wife and I is thus. We have travelled twice to Dubai and once to Seychelles as a couple. Also once to Dubai while dating. We were both denied UK Visa long ago before marriage.

We intend giving birth in the US. Have doctor and hospital correspondence as well as sufficient funds in my account.

My questions are;
What should we look out for?
For how long must my funds have stayed in my account?

A response would be appreciated.

NaijaMama:


Congrats on your passage but I am beginning to wonder, is there anything with accepting that we're giving birth in the US for the passport, so the child will have choices when he grows up?

Everyone seems to be spooling the 'better health care' story and from your experience, it appears they're tired of hearing the same excuse over and over.

sincere answers pls.

Lol so it was you all along?
Kuku give us the Chicago gist too.
Biko stay away from that naughty Chicago POE this time around.

herrik066:
Now, this is confusing, Your story or your friend's story?Was it you all along? Plus your(friend) initial transcript at the 1st POE denial(cos there might be a second. lol), you claimed that you have 7k dollars, and then in your response to the VO at the interview of the later visa application you claimed you have 14k dollars. Can you clarify all of this conflicting responses?

She converted the equivalent naira account balance to dollars to the 7k cash she held . Totaling 14k dollars

Hello mamas+papas,
I am currently in NY @ JFK airport enjoying WiFi while I await my connecting flight to my final destination, it's a long wait (6hrs).

5) get Ted stockings

Sorry guys 4 d long gist.

Make I sleep small.

God bless u all for the tips and encouragement, its simply priceless!!

I love u all.

You will need a stroller especially if you have stopover. Do not check in the stroller on the check in counter, then request for bassinet .

Well, seems no one has ever thought in that direction but you could try it and who knows, you could just be opening our eyes to another reason to give to the popular question.

PlOOT:


Madam if you read clearly and follow the thread you will see my messages on the poe m going through and people i have asked for hook up. My fnd sent me her transcript during her Lagos interview she didn't send the one for Chicago poe and I cnt be writing her Chicago transcript when I wasn't there. If I was the one with the experience and I post it that am the one with the experience, What difference will it be?

Pls is there anyone who has experienced this and has a solution. Currently she is being bottled fed but i ll like to stop it asap.

Please guys, I want to ask a "very stupid question" . Which should come first, doctor then hospital or hospital then doctor? Should I look for a cheap hospital then search for a doctor or vice versa?

@blaize777, all is well by God grace. Try take Milo if you can lay ur hands on one(with plenty milk)...you'll gain weight, so will your baby. Take lots of smoothies and sleep well. Don't panic and don't stress yourself. Suspend any form of exercise.

Then as per the car seat and stroller...gracco classic connect, travel system. It's cheaper @ Target or try walmart
