sayoberry: @kykes since we dey the same shoe. na Ur face I dey look o.
kykes what was the overall cost of birthing for sugar land when you calculated? just birthing.

@nefertitiram... this Ur name self... very long to type grin I agree with you but what of the pains after the cs? moreover Im cs-phobic sad and
I'll be alone and someone will join me after the birth. may not be easy for me. as for work I'm trying as much as possible. I'm planning to travel at 7months too.
I pray God gives me the strength to listen to advice and not go working like a mule

My dear, this days 70% of multiples are delivered via CS. not saying u can't have or vaginal delivery, but try n have an open mind. I was like u with my 1st pregnancy, had CS phobia, but my pikin come decide say name leg e go use comot, but was so shocked how it all went. was even gisting with d one of d doctors, in less than 20mins they were done.the nxt day I was already on my feet. So don't be scared. The society we live in had made it seem like its a taboo. All we want is a healthy baby n mama.

raii: Anybody got info on memorial hermann in houston.

The reviews I got about them weren't good. Unhelpful nurses, do not encourage womanly delivery or breastfeeding etc. A woman actually said a nurse came to check her baby and after seeing that the baby had pooped, she just closed d diaper back n walked away. It was one of her visitors who was shocked that eventually cleaned up the baby.

Well the favour of God can give u an angelic nurse wink

Many thanks mamacajah.

Much appreciated, I have sent emails to many hoospitals of California - so far no luck.

Anyway, What other options do I have If I go with my wife only - How long minimum husband should stay with wife before delivery and after in case if I shortlist doctorsparati.

Many thanks

Hi, could you do any other counties apart from the Citrus Height Area?
you could check nearby counties. Cos my baby was born in a nearby county from the county I was staying in. California is not that expensive if you do your research well. I would have suggested mine at Pomona Valley but thats like 6hrs driving. Just take your time and use google. Then go to their websites and get info then follow up with an email.
Good luck sha. I'm sure with patience you'd get something good.

Well i've heard that Sutter Memorial Hospital and Kaiser Permanente are extremely good. These are hospitals in the Sacramento County area. Don't know much about their prices but I hear they are quite good. Like someone suggested earlier, google is your friend. Follow up with emails/phone calls. You could also ask your relatives/friends to go there and check it out. Good thing about American hospitals, they are willing to show you around and even have scheduled tours for intending mothers. So ask your people there to check it out for you.

Good luck

More than 740 exposed to TB in El Paso nursery

EL PASO, Texas -- More than 700 patients and 40 employees were exposed to an employee in a West Texas hospital nursery who had an active case of tuberculosis, the El Paso Department of Public Health says.

The exposure took place over a period of about a year, from September 2013 through last month, when the employee of Providence Memorial Hospital tested positive for TB and was placed on leave.

The hospital is working closely with the health department to determine which infants and employees may have been exposed. The families of each patient will be contacted by phone and certified letter with screening instructions for their babies, health officials say.

So far, 706 patients and 43 exposed employees have been identified, the department says. The post-exposure screenings and follow-up will be provided free through the DPH and the hospital. Public Health officials are working with state officials and the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to facilitate the screenings.

Tuberculosis can be spread when a person with active TB coughs or sneezes, releasing secretion droplets with the germs into the air, explains CBS El Paso affiliate KDBC-TV. However, TB isn't highly contagious and generally requires close contact over an extended period of time to spread.

Once in the body, KDBC says, the bacteria usually lay dormant for months or years before they begin to grow and cause an active case of TB. That's is why it's so important to identify people who may have been exposed, screen them, and provide treatment that can prevent them from developing active TB. Only those with active TB can spread it to others.

The hospital says it will work with federal authorities to show its procedures were adequate.

A Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services deputy regional administrator, David Wright, says an inspection of the hospital by regulators revealed several violations. He says the violations could threaten the hospital's Medicare funding and posed "an immediate jeopardy to patient safety."

Providence Memorial spokeswoman Audrey Garcia says hospital officials look forward to collaborating with CMS to prove their actions were effective.

@GenoMi, from the appointment booking I got from Dr Oduro's office now, there is an extra charge of 700-1000 dollars if you are using epidural. Also, when I called the hospital was told that if the baby is healthy, I should budget 1500 for hearing test. Please can you help confirm from your friend, abi na MIHS shock still dey affect my ears.

anonymousmum: Slowly but surely, we are getting there!

Please yet another request directed to those who have scaled POE with food items-

I know there is some US website/internet link that states what is not allowed, but in real life, what and what is allowed?

Initially I was on the school of thought of no food items, but mehn...in order to avoid a miserable 2-3 months. best to plan ahead grin

Thanks house.


please any response to this request?
