Yes dear, thanks very much for asking. Much appreciated. Her blood pressure was to high n shes getting induced.
Dr came in now n had a good explanation, her pager got lost, so apparently she didnt get the calls.

[b]I entered the US legally to deliver my baby. The baby was born in Dec 15.

Regrettably the baby was born with a congenital heart disease called trunsuc artheriosis. She has had two heart surgeries and is currently in the hospital. She has lived all her life in the cardiovascular intensive care unit.

At the moment, the doctors are uncertain of her discharge date. Additionally the baby is billed for more hospital visits and surgeries in the future.

Unfortunately, the health care delivery in Nigeria cannot guarantee my baby a better care. I have confirmed that our hospitals are ill equipped and have poor manpower and skill to manage the baby health. The baby's condition is such that she will require a periodic hospital visit and future replacement of some valve in the heart.

I am skeptical of taking my baby back home. While I am praying for her complete recovery, it is my desire to remain in the US and watch my baby have the best health care in the world.

Please I need advise on how to achieve this.

Thank you. [/b]

I procured baby's naija visa through an agent, i love to save a buck but when i weighed the cost of what extending both our tickets will cost vs the savings if i do it myself (other people's experiences) cos naija embassy are so unreliable & unprofessional, I just saved myself the emotional drama ...

Nef didn't do my girl's by herself as well, she used Emergency travel certificate & if i can remember , Phema & Tvegas used agents as well!




@ kkbabygirl ,
Seek the help of an immigration lawyer in the US, i believe that may help.... E Hug..

I believe it's been that $350 since time immemorial or was it $300?...

I know the difference will buy baby some clothes but what i did was to tell myself , it was part of medical cost (had it in my budget though) ... How long do you have left in the US?

Pls does anybody know of a VERY CHEAP apartment or stay in LA. I will be using Dr Mbagwu and st Francis medical center. Plss house help!
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by biollar1: 7:12am On Jan 09, 2016
Thanks a lot dear...u actually just cleared my doubts. God bless u.

LadyGuinivere:

Nobody answered u cos these questions get k leg.
1. For flight- u have to check everyday and night and via various search engines. Wakanow, skyscanner etc. Flash sales may pop up or u get a deal.
2. Best time to travel- also best known to u. If u pick a flight u need to know their preggie rules and decide. Again if u read back, ul see people travelling at different weeks and how they felt when they reached. I doubt folks will repost that again.
3. Notification of intent-any time u so desire as long as its before your travel date and u get a reply.
Tip; try using the search button. Type in key words like 'travelled at 34 weeks' or 'notification of intent'. In like 30 minutes ul get a general idea of answers to your questions

Good job on reading all the pages.How come u failed to see the 1 million and one mentions of NY? Read again. You l see them all. Either u do that or you use google and search for cheap NY hospitals. That option might be faster

Thank God it's not even Texas he asked for.., "after reading all the pages" - cheesy grin

Am so sorry for what ur LO is going through now and what u are going through. By the stripes of our Lord Jesus christ ur LO is healed in IJN. U can go to the US immigration office and apply for an extension before the 6 months u were given expires.
The Lord is ur strenght my sister.

I really pray that your little baby get well soon even before your 6months visa duration expires. I don't think taking the baby back to Nigeria will be a good idea, give it your all for your baby because her life is more important than the consequences of over staying the visa or the financial implications.
