Did not take care of me at all o. Did not even ask for fit to fly. All legs of d journey was fully booked and cramped. Did not put me up for d delay only when we got to boston and no connecting flights available for the day was put in sheraton.

I expected alot and was highly disappointed. Could have avoided the long journey if i knew. Plus travelled with my toddler so was the grace of God that i pulled through.

As promised, this is my story.

I flew BA cos I love them and wanted to boost my mileage. My travel scripture was John 10:9 so I was ready to enjoy all round favour.
I had earlier requested for wheel chair or buggy assistance.

got to the airport at 8.00pm flight was for 11:30pm. Filled my e bola form and checked in. Presented my fit to fly letter. No questions asked and hubby made a photocopy for them. They asked us to come back to the desk at 9.30pm so someone can escort me to fast track. We were asked to go rest at the FAAN customers service area with a/c and TV till I was ready to go in. Please take advantage of this so u Dont stand n sweat for nothing.

as a preggy, I was one of the first to board the plane. Food was good and crew very helpful. Slept throughout the journey and landed Heathrow 6.00am naija time. Went to freshen up and went to get my buggy ride. I was taken to a nice lounge to chill where i could charge my phones and eat but there was no shower. Then hunger set in. Used my zenith master card to quench it and the rate was good. When it was time, I was driven to my boarding gate for houston. While ppl were waiting I was fastracked and asked to board the plane first with the elderly n childrengrin really feeling special with my economy ticket.

then the 9 and a half hr journey began. I wore my compression socks cos my ankles were swollen after d lagos London journey. I must hv slept n woke up 50 times and we hadn't reached anywhere. I wanted to cry. For those flying with children I 'dobale' for una o. I just kept singing worship songs, playing sudoku and dozing off in between. We eventually landed and my wheelchair was waiting for me as I stepped out of the plane. Since we landed in the afternoon I knew lots of airlines would hv landed as well so there would be crazy queues so I borrowed my self brain and sat on the wheelchair. I was wheeled to the front of one of the queues.

Questions asked by cbp
What are you here for?
did u tell them at the embassy dat u were coming to give birth?
are you travelling alone?
how much do u hv on u? I had a little over 9000 She said I shouldn't bring out the money
what do u do?
did u bring food?
when did u get ur visa?
how long will u be staying?
can I see your ticket? They want to be sure it's not a one way ticket

Everything takes about 7 mins. she says it's okay but that her colleague will take me for secondary inspection.
I'm wheeled to secondary inspection n then I saw the crowd shocked then I began to thank God for wheelchair wisdom. They hand my file to a lady who keys in my details and passes it to some male officers. They r all laughing and deliberately delaying people but I later learn it's an act to study ppls behaviour. After 10 mins, I bring out my shiloh mantle and wipe my face 3 times. I no get time....i gat to activate my heavenly powers. Immediately the lady who keyed in my details gets up and rearranges the files, placing my file first and drops it for the officer. Next thing, they call me.

Questions asked
are you gonna be using reddington hospital? Of course not. That's my hospital in Nigeria.
What hospital will you be using? Whmc
Whose your doctor? Dr. Zimmerman (though I just used his letter for show)
how did u hear about him? Google
How much is he charging? 2600 for twins
And the hospital? The bill is with you.
i know but i need you to confirm? 4800 for cs.
how much do u hv? A little over 9000.
how did u come about the money? Btw i n my husband
Wot do you do?
What does your husband do? When i tell him he goes 'oooooh'.
It all ends in 5 mins.
Does some typing and stamps me in for 6 months. Don't forget to get all your receipts he says.

na so them wheel me to the carousel for my baggage and wheel me even up to my uncles car cos the Mexican woman wan collect tip. I get home and find in my box a body shop scrub dats not mine. Apparently they searched my box even though it was padlocked. Everything was intact even the food items I brought. Thanks anyway for the scrub it will remove the 'wowoness' wey dey my face.

dazall!

Thanks nairalanders.




congrats on your Poe,pls can you send me dr Zimmerman email address,av sent you pm.pls I will be waiting

Thanx


Wifey and baby are doin very well. Am in nigeria so I ain't busy with baby per say.lol
The hospital assigned one cos we didn't have any preference. That zero balance ain't as straight forward as I thought, they take their time in that country, wifey is on it though.
