I've come to understand in this birthing waka that online reviews are misleading! Always look out for people that have had FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE THAT YOU CAN RELATE WITH. This thread is a good avenue for such. Read thru the post of those that used the hospital and see if there are pros and cons. Remember your business with the hospital is just once and that's at delivery. Take a tour yourself, discuss with the staff on ground and work closely with your doctor. He should guide you and calm your fears if you have any.

Most importantly, have an open mind! Don't be preoccupied with the negative things you hear else you won't be pleased by anything you see there

***Speaking from my First Experience***

jinglesbaby:
Thanks dear. I know that it is a personal thing because I was not even checked at all the airports I travelled through which is not the same for many. It was just out of curiousity that I decided to ask ni ooo, not that I am pre-occupied. I have more important things to worry about dear like can I live here permanently? My baby sef does not let me worry about anything

Gud day all, av bin a silent follower infact av read from part 1,it has bin of great help but I still need your help to clarify sometinz. I av apply for B1\B2 visa with my hubby and son. Hubby as my sponsor and interview date is early september. Am 24weeks gone bfor now we intend not to say am pregnant but is obvious that am pregnant now and with the help of this forum which I learnt someone can get a correspondent and proof of budget from hospital is possible to get a visa.pls do I need to write the embassy that we ain't going for vacation alone but with childbirth bfor the interview. If not pls how may I go about it so not to contradict what I applied for. Thank you

No need for any letter. Say it right there as it is during your interview

Hi everyone.

I know no two experiences are probably the same, but can those who have passed through JFK give a rough estimate of how long it took them from landing to leaving (or being free to leave) the airport? My Arik flight would land (if there are no delays) in the early morning, and I'm trying to figure out what time to book for a local flight to El Paso. Local flight also to take off from JFK

Please help a sister, from your experience. God bless you all.

Thank you... u mean I shld tell d Vo am going for childbirth wen the purpose of visits on ds 160 says vacation?

nefertitiram:


Yes she's correct. I asked at the airport last week when we returned from Europe.

It's $200 for visa on arrival for babay born to Nigerian parents from US. There is a lounge in Lagos airport where it can be processed.

Chanbaby:

Dr Pali.
Very understanding doc.


quote author=KayLayChi post=47759469]

Hello Tyrah, I just called St Mary's and they are affordable compared to other quotes I have gotten. However they claim to work with any Obgyn or certified midwife.

Have you used St Mary's, if you have which doctor did you use.

Thanks

firsttymum:

Since u already have a quote. Ask Dr F to help u. Tell him what's going on

simababe:


Maybe u shud call billing or ask to see someone in charge. U need to stand ur ground. Extra 1k no be beans ooo.

TopeFl:


Yes you do not need a Nigerian Visa for the child. There is a category called visa on arrival. Google it and see the application process. Way better than sending your baby's passport to any Nigerian Embassy here for naija visa. It will also shorten your stay and expenses. We didn't know about this until a few weeks ago. Need more info you can email me directly.

TopeFl:


Story...lol...We have done this for 2 families and none of this ever came up.
