That's a very good location for that hospital and for going around for shopping and other amusement locations.
Ask the accommodation owner if there are furniture in it at all.
I had same experience

Awesome then. Pls inbox me the apartment where you stayed.

I have and i don't think it makes a difference in how you're treated..just make sure you take your receipts and zero balance letter/statement just in case they ask. They kept asking if I had my receipts at POE and secondary inspection but didn't they didn't ask to see them. Maybe it's because they already knew it had been seen at the embassy.

Please i am currently in Sugarland Texas in my brothers place to have my baby. I get so boared during the day cos my brother and his wife go to work and i am left home alone. I will like to go to the shooping mall frequently but cant deal with the uber cost on a daily basis.

Please does anyone have suggestions on a cheaper means of transport that i can explore here in Sugarland.

Also, if there is any Nigerian here in Sugarland that wants to go shopping and is in the same shoes as i am, please reach out to me so we can share the transportation cost and move together

Boredom is not a good thing really. It depends on your frequency of Mall going or Walmart going and how much you budgeted for transportation. There are many shops around Sugarland that you can visit for your needs depending on the part of Sugarland you are. Most of the Malls(Katy Mills Mall, Memorial Mall, Houston Premium Outlet etc) are not close to Sugarland. However if you really want to visit Malls to while away some time, my best advice for you is to rent a car from some of our Nigerian guys that offer the service(I can connect you with one of them if you wish). It's extremely cheaper than Uber and Lyft. Instead of carrying Uber for $60 per trip to the mall. You can rent a car gor $150/week. And you can use uour Nigerian driver's licence without hassles. All you need to get is to hang your phone google map in front of you and it (google) will take you to wherever you want to go. Good luck

And to say this is the doctor I intend using , I’m angry ahead o, I don’t like shabby services like this neither am I saying worship me. But 2k is a lot of money and I’ll rather use it in addition to my baby registry than to throw it away, they need people to boycott their services so their heads can be correct

$2k is not beans, I may b wrong, but I was one of the 1st people to use Dr Nicholas in 2015, and I did due diligence to fetch him out, then I had a good service, trust me when people rush a particular Doc. their services may drop sure to over booking.. Which is not a reason for bad service thou..
Dr. Nicholas is a qualified Doc who sees more of Latin Americans and black Americans from the sub urban areas.. We too dey rush him too much, can we please do more research and get new untapped Dr. Alot of us just are doing copy and paste no research..

It's bad and heart breaking to get a crappy service but we Nigerians are to used to doing follow follow.. There are untapped hospitals and Dr., but we r not doing due diligence..

So sorry for the bad service, pls am begging get new leads...

I honestly don't think travelling with one's kid is an issue. I travelled with my toddler(about same age) and my pregnant wife two months ago
and had absolutely no issues going through CBP. The only catch is that the dude would miss school for the duration of their stay. IMO

where do y'all dig up these statistics from? This whole myth we ascribe to travelling are mostly borne out of fear. If you know deep down your reasons for making a trip, then go right ahead. Let's not mystify everything abeg cool

Thank you. I said almost the same thing and someone replied that it's their money and that they would use same Dr and hospital over again, bad service or not.
My second child just came in on friday and we used a diff hospital from the one we used for our first kid, in the same state . All i had to do with DW, was do more searches from Naija months before we travelled. it's all about priorities.

The adapter for the one I got is 100v-220v. I haven't used it yet but from this rating I believe it should be good for Nigeria. See the picture of the adapter below.

Please what airline can fly a 38 weeks pregnant woman. And what are the documents I need apart from Doctor's fit to fly

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Ayomiidele: 1:38pm On Oct 14, 2018

I am presently using Dr X's services and I would say I am satisfied for now. Yes, the population of Nigerian client is much but I don't have a problem with that since I am treated well. Except for my first visit when I saw a doctor, I have been seeing a Nurse practitioner for my antenatal visits and she has been very thorough.
I think it also has more to do with our Nigerian sisters, if you don't ask questions, interact or engage with them then nothing will be forthcoming for you. They will just check you and send you on your way.
I will do a review of the hospital after I have my baby.

Ok..it should be fine then. Just checked mine and it's 110-120v.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Ebony84: 5:27pm On Oct 14, 2018

Doubt it exists..too high risk. You can give birth at anytime after 37 weeks and it would be considered full term.

Safest period would have to be before 36 wks before you go and born on the plane in the middle of nowhere.

Unfortunately, a nurse practitioner is not a doctor. Prenatal care with a nurse practitioner with a doctor doing the delivery is between $750-$1100 at the most, not $2000.
