Good day everyone,
I want to thank God for all His goodness to us and to thank the moderators and all the contributors of this thread.
I arrived Houston 2 nights ago and POE was NY. I flew United Airlines. God was in control of the whole journey as it was totally smooth and favourable.
I was travelling with my 4year old( extra extra hyper wink ) @ Lagos I didn't have any issues @ all. The itinerary was Lagos- frankfurt - NY - Houston. Got to Frankfurt, had a 6hr layover and headed to NY. Landed NY and realised small madam's backpack was left behind @ Frankfurt. I said 'God forbid bad thing, I shall not be disorganised'. I walked to d CBP queue briskly and it finally got to our turn. The officer asked why I was visiting? - vacation & child birth. How long I'll be staying - 3months. Why so much cash? - hospital bills and logistics. When last I visited? - last year. We chatted for a bit den he stamped us in n scanned my fingers. Then headed to baggage claim.
Next queue, another officer asks almost the same questions then directs me to step aside and go into some hall. Passports collected and I sit n wait to be called. Finally I get called by one of the Officers and he asks almost same questions previously answered plus do I have a dr?-yes, where does hubby work? ----, how many other kids do I have?---. Then asks me to sit, leaves to one of the back offices, comes back after some time asks me to fill some currency declaration form, leaves with the foRm to the back office while I sit waiting, comes back and escorts us to recheck-in area and wishes us a safe trip to Houston.
Get to the boarding gate and we're right on time. Get to Houston @ last and sleeeeeeeeeeep.
Mehn, e no easy. So lessons and tips now:
1. Please be prepared. Spiritually, Psychologically and Physically. I had all my documents and cash though no one asked to see anything.
2. Please if you are taking snacks along from Naija taste am first. The snacks I bought @ the airport turned out to be as hideous as airplane food.
3. If possible dnt allow children carry bags. Small madam got sassy on me @ Frankfurt and insisted that she was 'tired' n can't cope with the bag anymore.
4. Pray Pray Pray for divine favour. Flew with a couple who didn't have any single documents or physical cash just Naija bank card and guess what? They scaled through. I won't advice anyone to try it ooooooo. Abeg carry all the required documents plus cash.
So my people that's how it went. God bless you all.

Why are you scared as at when i traveled last year August virtually everyone kicked against Atlanta POE but has God will have it i scaled through Atlanta and had my baby.
What you need to do is to get all your onions right from Nigeria that is Indicating that you are there for Birthing, Have your Doctor's Letter if possible letter stipulating the 1st day of your appointment, Accommodation Reservation and Cash.

But PLEASE pray and don't entertain any fear because that might make you stutter when asked questions despite the fact that you are doing the right thing. America does not kick against Birth tourism. I will be on a look out for your testimony.

Senior Moms in the house, come and help a sis.

Hello Ma'am,

You dont need to change pediatrician if you dont want to. It all depends on the cost. if you know a very good pediatrician cheaper than the one you used in the hospital then i suggest you change.

Regarding what you need to know post having your baby, I think most of it will come naturally to you. However, be prepared to feel harassed and shed a few tears at some point.... lol... especially when baby is crying at 2am in the middle of the night and you have tried everything in your power to make him stop. Its a phase, it will pass.

Also, dont feel too bad if your baby cries, its natural and there is only so much you can do... so just pray to have a calm spirit and do your very best. And please read...... the internet has so much material post baby and you will benefit tremendously. Infact, you will be surprised that alot of things your baby is going through is totally normal and you can get advise that can help your situation. Different people will give different advise, especially the older generation, you should be able to discern which one is good for you and your baby and which one isnt. No one knows your baby more than you do.

Where it concerns medical issues, please ask your doctor. And trust me, you will do great! There is no hard and fast rule to being a mum or parent.... its a learning process. Just be open to it and it will work out as you go along.

Cheers!

Hello mommas and papas in the house,

need a quick clarification please.

Is it the same paediatrician that sees the baby at delivery that one continues to see or it is true that the one that sees the baby at delivery is paid just for that and one needs to take baby to another paediatrician after been discharged from the hospital.

If the above is true, is it necessary to take the baby to the other paediatrics? Senior mommas, please help this FTM. I will.also appreciate if someone can give me a highlight of things needed to be done after baby birth...Phema and Co, your experienced advice needed here plssssssssssssss.

This is coming so late. Abeg no vex.

The hospital I used (MIHS) had an all inclusive package. So, same team of Doctors attended to my son all through our 2day stay. It could be different for other hospitals though.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by somchisom: 10:24pm On Apr 10, 2015
Hello house,
In the spirit of giving back. Here is my birth story.
I gave birth to my baby girl March 17th at United memorial medical center, batavia New York through C.S. Stayed in the hospital 3 days for all. The hospital offers a 60% automatic dscount for self pay. Got my bill for 3947.69 for mother and 1407 for the child, total of 5354. Doctor's fee for ante natal and delivery was 1499.4 (I was scheduled for natural delivery with a mid wife but had to go for c-section last minute, which included a doctor in the package. The fee above also include all the meal I had for 3 days. The service was awesome, everyone including the doctor's were very friendly, nice and professional.
I let them know before I delivered that I was going back to Naija in less than a month after delivery so they could process my birth cert and bills on time.
I filled the birth cert form before I gave birth and gave them baby's name on delivery. They filled for the cert on friday, I called the county's office on Tuesday and I was told it was mailed to me the monday after that friday. I guess they used regular mail cos I didn't get it that week, went to their office the following Monday, paid 10$ for another copy which I usedto apply for her passport. I paid 165$ for the passport and got it sameday. I mailed her passport to the agent for the Naija visa for 342$ (Tanko hardly picked his calls, felt safer using a company's service). They got the passport Tuesday Morning, got the visa same day and mailed it back to me. I got the passport the next day Wednesday. I have gotten my zero balance letter from the hospital. Leaving for Naija today.
Hope this helps someone.

Please one question. The zero balance letter is just a line. Hope this is okay.
Good luck to everyone

I also got the sSN exactly 2 weeks after birth.

The zero balance letter just stated that I don't owe the hospital in one line. Hope this is okay and is the letter sufficient? Or do I also require a receipt?

Thanks
