It's only delta that will carry at more than 36 wks

I travelled at 36 weeks via air France. Let her get the medical report from port health. Anything above 36 weeks is a risk o. Even the 36 weeks sef na risk

I have a question regarding the renewal,should I write to the embassy about change of intent when dropping off or get the visa then write to them later when am about travelling that am going to have my baby in the US

There are way cheaper doctors at WHMC. I used Dr Jeanie Huynh last December and her fee was 2000$ whether CS or normal delivery. Plus she accepted all my tests.

ozycy:

WHMC, I droff my cap for for this una price.
They ve so so increased their prices eh Chai. Even all their doctors have increased prices. Foreigners especially Nigerians (not only nairalanders) have bombarded the place eh. I can rmber the social worker telling me that in every 10 birth certificate she registers in a day, 8 are Nigerians lol. Thank GOD I ran to OMC this time and I don't have any regret. Just ranting

Please, house, I need clarification about this notary thing, I notarized my DS form from naija from a notary public as hubby won't be coming and am to have my baby in Atlanta georgia, please will it be accepted plus do I still need a written and signed letter from Hubby in addition to the notarized consent form? Thanks

Yes,you do need a consent letter signed by both u and ur hubby for application of Nig visa/passport. You only need the notorised consent form for the baby's US passport but i cant answer whether the pre signed form is accepted in Atlanta or not. Another mama should be able to do that. But if its not accepted,you can simply tell ur husband to sign another at the embassy when u give birth and send it through courier to u in Atl.

anizi:

Ok, thank you. Mine started after delivery, the pain is out of this world oh, thank God when it hurts its just for few secs. My dr said mine has gone on for too long (6 months)so i need to see an orthopedic dr

So sorry dear. Had same pain on my right wrist, worse when trying to lift something. Started 6 weeks post partum and lasted for about 6 months. Did an x-ray and all, nothing came up. Just had to manage it.

You might want to see the Orthopedic surgeon. If nothing is wrong, then you will have to learn to cope with it till it gets better. Ndooh eh.

@ebonychic18 my dear nor b here o there are some names I sha trust na dem I reply o d rest I just dey ignore more than 15 already I read d lst issues of agents nd afraid cash me o, Yes it's a Birth plan and it's a non profit hospital I even called and they said they don't do medicaid I asked if they have hidden charges d woman even got angry sef I con dey beg so I guess they are ok will keep searching though

Nice package you've got.

I'll advise you use a reasonably priced hospital for your visa interview (not less than 5k) and port later. If the hospital is in a different city/state, you might want to inform the embassy about the change of plan before travelling. That was what I did.

When filling your ds 160 choose the one that includes medical,I Believe its B2 though both b1 and 2 comeme together finally.
After u get the visa, then notify them

I think BA is the friendliest when it comes to women with babies with excess luggage. I dint pay an extra dime despite the fact that my two bags were overweight.

Infact the guy asked me to check in my hand luggage for free so all I had was my baby bag

Another friend said the same as well

I dont share that sentiment though. I flew BA with my baby in March and i was made o pay 200$ for my 3rd 23kg bag which i felt should be baby's luggage. I called BA severally before my travel date and i was told over the phone that my baby is entitled to a 23kg bag,a stroller and a car seat, only for me to get to the airport and they said thats a misinformation. I even asked at BA desk in Heathrow and they said baby ain't entitled to any luggage. The thing pain me ehn,i swore never to fly BA again for misinforming me.

Wow! That's a first. My baby was entitled to one checked in 23kg bag, stroller and car seat. I'm really surprised.

I had it too postpartum, I didn't know it even had name. It's very excruciating. I only used a bandage to manage it and ignore it till it reduced.

Was ur final stop london or Nigeria?

I ask because it's not every country that is entitled to two bags.... A lot of countries are entitled to only one bag. So maybe the second bag was for the baby

Otherwise it's on their website/ on the ticket. You should'v have opened their website and show them. Or written customer service and pursued till U got a refund

I flew BA in April and my baby had a 25kg (it's 23kg but they allow up to 25) bag. So we had 7 bags in total. Hubby, me, son & daughter (shey she paid for ticket). The person attending to you was a jjc. I would usually ask to see a supervisor because I won't pay. I will even go as far as showing them on their website.

I used Dr Elizabeth baily. I know from naija an doing c-section. I don't know what u mean when she booked for the cs. She did mine at 38weeks quote author=zoemummy post=39760664]

Thanks Enyinne. Please which doc did you use? La or Torres or ? At how many weeks was she booked for the CS? Thanks. [/quote]

I hv u check ur pulse?? What number is it?? That will help answer the question better. Cos I might feel as if ur having racing heart when actually d reading is still within range. I hv felt that before thru my pregnancy but it later subsided. It happened in my 3rd trimester.

Is your BP normal? There's a pregnancy thread in the health section where your question can be asked

Aw.... It will probably go 3/4 weeks after the baby comes

That what happened to me with my firsts baby. Wasn't funny at all

The pain is like contractions on the wrist. Snd this my baby her grand ma's have spoilt her, she always wants to be carried.

Thank u so much u have been really helpful .pls will I need a statement of account for d b2 because I heard renewal doesn't need that, just passport photograph,visa fee and Nigerian passport.

I checked in very late that the plane almost left without me sef while trying to sort it at the airport. So i had to pay hoping i ll clarify it when i got to Heathrow but i was also told dre that no baby is entitled to any luggage. I was so angry.

No,you wont

Thanks @Favouredgal and Shrek. I'm actually flying at 35 weeks plus 5 days which I extrapolated to 36 weeks. So no need to get from my Doctor sef. Good news about Port health. This under 4K package is very juicy o!!! Wish I could change course at this late hour.
@ whiteroses u harsh o so no answer without the embassy and POE story? Some people are embassy "guests" na. Them no get visa problem at all. POE stories are always fun though. My last POE story was too boring to share. I was bored, the CBP guy was bored.. We were done in no time

Please start speaking with a doctor right away to know their fees, hospital fees etc. Since your doing the dropbox I suggest u get a doctor's correspondence, budget sheet, and burden of proof ready for POE. check page 105 of part 1.

Some people were deported back to naija because they were not fully prepared. Read POE stories too, this thread is all about speaking the truth.
Read, read and read part 1 rigorously, to avoid stories that touch. Hmm.

@Dentale, Lool, na them sabi o, na d small contribution wey I fit do na I do so

No problem at all. I didnt do a nigerian visa, i did a passport and didnt use any agent. Just applied online, bought money order of 77 and an extra 30 for processing fee and took to the nigerian consulate

Thanks, they got the BC & Naija passport yesterday but couldn't go to the US passport office. I want to find out which exact office did u get d US passport from (in 24 working hours) ? Cos they went online for appointment & got 13th Nov & she said they claimed it takes 5 working days after the appointment. While the post office said 3--4 weeks. Just need a Lil guidelines on d US passport ASAP, sorry for always bugging you, guess you are the one closer home the most
