beautyx5: Hello House,

I am also thinking of flying BA at 35 weeks. I dont understand why their policy should state one thing and they do something else at the time to board the flight.

Doesn't seem right. Does anyone have any experience with flying BA at 35weeks or 36 weeks?

nefertitiram: Hi All,
I lost my babies, poor handling in ICU here in Nigeria, even at 7 months. Another reason why everybody needs to have their baby in the US! I pray no one experiences this kind of loss in Jesus Name,
I have managed to move on. Time to go back to the drawing board, sad loss after trying for a number of years.
I cannot question God.

@Mamacajah, I checked priceline for you few mins ago and found, Delta,Airfrance and KLM with quotes of around $2,300 for your trip to Augusta,GA.

The alternative on priceline is to find a cheap flight to JFK and take a domestic flight to Augusta ,If you dont mind the stress of checking in your baggage twice .I found that Virgin has a $1,570 to JFK, while US airways has a $286 to Augusta from JFK. Total = $1,856. I selected October 2nd as your departure date,so the dates also matter. Take time to check this on a computer,you will see several options. Cheers

malory84: @NErf so sorry for your loss. May the good Lord comfort you. You shall have double for your troubles and affliction shall not rise a second time. Pls mamas, I need to buy maternity dresses ASAP. This my baby has refused I wear anything clingy or tight. Jeans, trousers n leggings na no go area, feel so frustrated on them. I don't really like the ones I'm seeing online. Pls is any1 coming back soon to NAija from ELpaso?

mamacajah:
Thanks Tvegas but the stress of carrying baby on my return means i need to book a direct flight which my hubby has insisted upon. I really appreciate your love and concern. GOD bless you!

mimibe: @ impish, thanks for the information. Pls where did you stay in Atlanta? Hotel or family? If hotel, kindly furnish me with info.

@impish, were you induced? Is there a charge for induction?

SisiOlu: Hi guys, this thread has been very helpful. I had my baby in Chicago for total of 5500 (3000 for hospital and 1500 for antenatal n delivery). It was ata discounted rate for Self-pay Package I had a fantastic experience - antenatal, delivery, baby shopping, e.t.c. I used an agent who hooked me up with an apartment, cab guy dt gave me many discounts, shipper, rite places to shop for baby, food, e.t.c @ cool prices; tourist attractions. I had a wonderful experience in all @ a discounted price. For more details snd me an email on fayo2k2@yahoo.com

Sorry about your denial. Truth is majority of VO's love genuine and cheerful spenders on their economy. Trust me, They've seen hospital quotes of 10k, 20k etc so Presenting a miserly delivery letter of $3k may not sit well with some. As a rule of thumb I will advice future applicants to go with a minimum of 12k to 15k budget with the delivery portion hovering around 7k minimum. The higher that portion is the better. El paso gave me a 5k quote but I increased it to 7k on the budget the VO saw. The aim is to show that I am up to the task. Since The denial is based on MIHS letter get a higher quote from another hospital and apply at the same consulate. Wish you the best.

NB: On another note ma'am you just registered on NL spending just 20mins and my mischevious mind kept wondering "hope no one is trying to settle scores with MIHS letter since I brought EL PASO letter under the radar". ? . I know those 2 places have die hard fans and aggressive marketers here . Dont mind my thinking o,it can be funny. One love.

Phema: For those going to Phoenix; I tried calling other Hospitals in Phoenix and non has an all-inclusive maternity package like MIHS. They could only tell the hospital fees which is about $3k for almost all of them. You will have to get your own Dr, pay him/her, also pay for epidural, Paediatrician, Aneasthesiologist, laboratory test etc.

However, I got one hospital (Northwest Medical Centre) in Tucson, AZ which offers a maternity package plan (again, just hospital fees) for $1800 and $350 for epidural. Excludes Dr's fees, Paediatrician fees, lab tests etc

This is me, signing out on the searching game. Will just have to wait till I get MIHS new price to make a decision between MIHS and Doctores Para Ti.

Chei! I speak English tire today. From Naija accent to fake American one to even middle eastern one sef, sotey my credit finish. I load another one again, them finish am. I don try!
