I had a vbac in 2018. So smooth and the best birth so far in Martin Luther kings hospital Los Angeles.





BRENDAMAGALI:
Hello

I’m pregnant and my due date is in October this year. It’s going to be my second child, and I want to give birth in USA, the thing is that I have a cesarean, it was 4 years ago, the problem is that I need to find a doctor who does vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC).

Any chance someone here has had a VBAC in USA? Can you please recommend a doctor for this? I am planing to go to Texas since I know it’s the cheapeast place in USA.

I’m very interested in Doctores Para Ti in El
Paso, Texas, however they don’t practice VBAC, so I need more options.

Please help me!!!

Thanks a lot mama. Detailed. I appreciate.

1. The F1 spouse is likely covered by health insurance. Read this, call the insurance company and let them know of your birthing plans. They will advice you on what to do. You may even get a few things for free.

Good day all.

Please for those of you who have had your babies in the US, did you vaccinate your newborns? If yes, what vaccinations did you take and what were the costs?

Thank you

I think the first shots your baby gets are at his/her 2-month visit to the pediatrician.

Wrong. Babies get HepB right after birth and at 1 month then the whole battery of TdaP, IPV (Polio), Rotavirus, HiB and Pneumococcal at 2 months.

I used sunrise pediatrics and the day we took all that plenty vaccine, my total cost (Dr visit + vaccine) was around $250. (TdaP, IPV (Polio), Rotavirus, HiB and Pneumococcal)

it also depends on your Dr. The cost for daily visit is different from cost of vaccines. my first child only took the one at birth and then we started vaccinations when we returned to Naija at 3 months.

Hi Mrs,

Can you please share if you dnt mind which state mad hospital you used?


MrsHappy:
Hello all, it’s been a long time. Good to be back here.
I got my first US visa in 2015 with my hubby and we went on vacation 2017.
Then in 2018 and 2019 respectively, I had my 2 kids on a renewed visa. ( I sent an email to Lagos embassy to inform them of my pregnancy plans and they replied that it’s up to the Officer at point of entry) . At point of entry all my documents were looked at after I told them I was pregnant and I was allowed in.
Now my question is none of my hospital bills was more than $5000. I am going for this new waiver program with my husband. Do you think the amount I spent will affect my renewal?
NOTE: I’m not pregnant, dnt plan to have any more kids. Just need to go on vacation
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Toritse321: 2:30am On Mar 22, 2022
Thank you babestell,

How many weeks was your 1st baby when you returned to Nigeria for the remaining Vaccinations. I'm thinking of doing same at 6/7 weeks. Just wondering what the effect would be

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Toritse321: 4:01am On Mar 22, 2022
Seems your total bill was about 12000

My estimated bill is similar. So why do the consular officers insist that bills must be between 15000 to 20000 dollars according to those who have shared their visa renewal stories

Are we supposed to beg the hospitals to increase the bill?

The whole thing is somehow


babestell:
Hello House, time to share my story

I got my visa early last year before the who0le issue with dates started. I wasn’t pregnant then but we thank God for his gifts.
I used Memorial Hermann and Dr Z. My cost breakdown is below

Dr Z (include ultrasound): $2550
Memorial Hermann sugarland; $3969
Anesthesia: $2000
Sunrise Pediatrics: $500
Hospital Labs: $300

The hospital labs is not a round figure as above, I rounded it up0. When we got home we received an additional bill from the hospital. Apparently the hosp0ital only allows their own p0ediatrics team attend to baby after birth. Instead of allowing the external child pediatrician attend. They charge the p0arents for the service and boy its not cheap. My bill when sent was

Child Initial Birth: $750
Circumcision: $821
Baby discharge examination: $535

So pls if you are using this hospital, put all these in plan. Covid has dealt with the system so even all those freebies we used to get from hospitals are no longer available. They claim this was in response to Covid .
I applied for baby passport last week of November. Even paid for express. Unfortunately, the passport is not out. We travelled with ETC, which my husband helped process.

I did my covid test at CVS and that’s what I used to travel.

Thanks to everyone who shared their journey.

PS Dr Z is Nigerian...I know there was time people were arguing over it here.

Good afternoon everyone, trust your day is going well.
Please I need help with the all-in costs for C-section twin birth in Virginia USA. I hear Inova Hospital Fairfax is a good one, would appreciate any information you have on the current cost there or any other alternative hospitals within the area.
Thanks.

Hello Nairalanders

RE: Give Birth in Us

My first ever post here as I am in dire need of your help sir & ma. My wife just hit 6 weeks today having realized we are pregnant last week with our first scan ystday.

I have siblings in US but both I and my wife have never travelled out of the country. I would really appreciate sufficient guides on recent and verified procedures to begin my wife’s application to enable her give birth in US.

PLEASE ADVISE. Thanks all.

Your 1st step is to pay for appointment and start looking for interview date. Because now there is no birthing visa so her tummy must not show when she is going for her interview. So I suggest the earlier the better.the only time she can go with big tummy which is still 50/50 is when she wants to claim complications (Godforbid ooo) and you will back it up with doctors appointment both Nigeria and American doctor that has accepted to take her with her condition. And then pray for high Favour.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by temyb: 10:50pm On Mar 26, 2022
Noooooo,this is so.wrong. please go through the right way o. Your wife should apply for medical visa,still B1/B2. Get a good hospital and their quotation,if u can pay abit before appointment or if not make sure u have more than enough in your account when you are going for appointment. But meanwhile make sure u get an appointment date,which is the first thing to do.
Or better still please read through and see how its done properly. I went for a follow up interview and a lady was denied visa renewal simply because she used her visiting visa for birthing purpose.

You know there is not one way it getting this visa. But are you trying to say she can go to the embassy boldly with tummy showing and request for birth? Make una dey talk true ooooo. Well I said what I said. Oga your wife can not go there with big tummy. I saw a lot on my own day. So over to the elders.
