Regards

SisiOlu:
Big congratulations to mummy Phema. God bless u and ur family.
The comfort in giving birth in obodo cannot be compared to our dear 9ja.

PrinceAdeAde and Bj2015, how far, any update?

Tvegas:


Thanks, so when are you leaving, don't wait till forever o. No one can predict when a baby will come , we are all just guessing.

B4 naija election by God's grace!

GFavor:
Dear House, My ticket is from Abuja to Elpaso with one day stop over at Chicago. My question is, at POE in Chicago will I have to bring out my checked in luggage at Chicago or at Elpaso.

Sometime early this year i flew Lagos to Chicago on Delta and POE was Atlanta,layover was about 3hrs and i did not have to bring down any luggage.

Gbam! Up Tvegas. Enjoy your stay and madam will deliver like the hebrew women. My madam and baby landed Nigeria via BA on Saturday, so this project is over now.

I wish everyone a wonderful delivery testimony.


[quote author=Tvegas post=28905459]Hello guys, reporting from the City of Stafford near Houston Texas. Been busy with a couple of things, struggling to follow the thread. Thank God for Phema and Akelvin . The day Phema told me water broke, i was like na so e dey happen? You guys should stop risking it till 36 weeks o, Please leave by 33/34 weeks max. No be only the preggies go dey share POE testimony, so make una allow me share my own.

I'd really appreciate if someone could oblige to educate me on these issues...
Is having a travel experience a prerequisite for getting a US Visa? 'cos i see most people that got lucky have been to one place or the other before applying to US...I've never been out
Secondly, my birth trip is gon be sponsored by my in-laws, is it tenable to the Visa Officer even though my hubby would be there with me for the interview?

The bolded is the surest way to get your visa denied. Infact you will make it easy for them. The VO expects you or your husband to be able to fund this trip. Previous travelling experience is one of the factors that will be considered before issuing a NIV but if you fully satisfy other criteria and home ties the VO may overlook this. So yes people without previous travelling experience can be granted.

@Lizcomm...Thanks man and merry xmas in advance.

Heliano:

My dear I advise you do it here in the US, I am presently in philly and had to do this tests,

Lol when I dey tell una say BA is the worst airline flying to naija, una no wan hear. The days of BA being the best, has long gone. It's like they send their worst planes and hostesses to Nigeria. It's terrible!

Please quick question for the mothers, someone told me today that I need to be doing yoga to avoid having a CS. Because it works my pelvic muscles?

Is this true? Phema did u exercise during pregnancy and did it help during labour?

Lol! Please don't kill yourself o! An unplanned CS is usually based on emergency either because you or the baby's health is in jeopardy, I doubt that it has anything to do with yoga or working your pelvic muscles.
I had an emergency CS with my first pregnancy because my son's umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck and pushing him out would have strangled him. Not sure it would've mattered how well I prepared my pelvic muscles.

Kegels exercises is something I know you can do that strengthens your pelvic floor muscles. But this doesn't prevent CS. You can google it or check baby center on how to do them.

Check pages 104 and 105 please

Atlanta bound hopefully first week in March.

"As regards Dr fagbohun, i will give a comprehensive breakdown of his charges when wife puts to bed. My only advice is intending users shouldn't waste money doing all the tests in Nigeria because he may still ask you to rerun like 80% of it. So just do a few. I wasted some cash on this already. All in all its been fun."

@Tvegas: Good to hear your own POE experience, I am sure your Americana baby go know say him papa dey town. My wife's next appointment with Dr. Fagbohun is this Wednesday, it won't be bad if you guys can form a small naija-Fagbohun football team o. I'll send a PM to you.

Hello all, I just got in to new jersey to have my baby. Anybody with info on cheap hosp/ doctors fees. PlsSss help

Please ATL bound mums, can anyone give me details of cheap hospitals or refer me back to pages to check. Am April bound and wish to start processing now

Please can anyone who has recently put to birth in Atlanta, help with the following answers:

1)Affordable hospitals in Atlanta
2) Total cost
3) Experience at the Airport on arrival.

Thanks

@tvegas shebi e for better if to say na promo ticket self I buy in the first place. Hubby paid heavily for our(Mumsi n I) round trip tickets from lag to Elpaso and he even paid insurance join sef. All in all, it cost us bout 695k for the two tickets which we were told were valid for 3months. I left at 34weeks And because I didn't know how early or late baby wld come as per first time mom tins, I decided to choose a return date that wld give room for any exigencies with the mind that I wld move it forward if the need arose. Forward to last week and I go to the united website to try n reschedule the flight. Got to some point and was given an error mssg and told to contact their customer care line to be able to effect any change. Next tin I called my agent(wakanow) and he got back to me that changing my flight to 28th dec wld cost me bout 560K for mum n I cos the flights on that day were fully booked cos of the holiday season. Asked him to check xmaS day n even new yrs day, Samestory. Next I took myself to the airport in Elpaso to the united office yesterday and lo n behold they told me the same thing, rescheduling will cost me bout 2600$ Plus. All I cld do was buy my baby's ticket for the same date and return home to decide how I go spend the Xmas n new year for Elpaso o. I think it's because it's holiday season that's why. All in all nothing spoil, the moral of the story is that we shd all consider our respective timings properly when making our plans to avoid situations like this cos I'd have reaLly loved to be back home for at least the new year.

please could anyone help with where i can pierce my baby's ear here in atlanta, everyone keeps saying till after 2 months or after immunization…..she is just 2 weeks old…..or any peadtrician that can doit before 2 months.

Dr Emmanuel Mordi's office does. It's located at Buford near mall of Georgia-please Google his address. Otherwise you could walk into any Claire's and ask for it to be done.

Thanks dear, will try claire's first….cos dr Mordi says he will have to do immunization first before he pierces her ears…..did you use him as your peadtrician..

Houston has been good with friendly weather. We stay in an accommodation in stafford less than 40 dollars per night. The place is beautiful no complaints so far, unlike the reviews we saw online as husby was very skeptical about the place. Oyibo people can exaggerate when giving reviews. Just 10minutes to doctors appointment. Tvegas is right don't run so many tests cos you will still redo some. Cabs are very expensive so without a car it's very difficult to move around. To even get through to cabs is wahala you'll call endlessly. One of the cab companies start 7am and close 10pm so if labour starts outside this hours hmmmm. To rent a small car with insurance for 2months is more than $3000. We got a Nigerian guy that does rental package for car. You can rent at a minimum fee and drive yourself after paying for a monthly insurance if you've got international license or you can choose the option of being driven anytime you want. We got a car today and hubby had insurance done and drove it today. So my advice if you coming to Houston without a solid arrangement for transportation, you will not find it funny. I no be marketer oooh.
