Hello Guys,
Please my sister applied for school in Canada. I'm waiting for her admission for January. She is a mom of 2. She want her 2 kids to accompany her under her student visa. Is there any implications for this. Does she need to show anything or prove anything. The 2nd option is to apply alone and do visit visa for them when she gets her visa and is in school already. What do you advise. .

Hello. Please has any one had nicu bill here. How was it cleared. Mediacaid has been on my neck to accept for the baby as he is a citizen. Am talking about 32k dollars even after discount. Please anyone with experience on this. How do i handle this one.

Am interested.

Any Texas Oakbend bound mama's willing to share accomodation from 1st week in March to May? 3 bdr, each room has private bathroom, please let's hook up.

Thank you so much for this message. I really really do appreciate this. I will do as advised. I need to stop with the worry. God bless you. I am grateful. Just when I thought I was allowing fear take a better part of me. Thank you so much.

Am so sorry about your friend. May this new year replace those tears with joy becaise God is about to give her double for her pain. Amen.

Hi @Ada88 .... Yes iv had PIH with both my pregnancies and have delivered safely but having also cried just this past week because a lady I know with this same PIH/Pre eclampsia had to deliver her child at 27weeks and eventually bury same I can tell you honestly that this is a very personal journey!


Having said that here are my personal tips:
- Make sure you are seeing doctors who know whatssap... As in who know their work. If possible not only gynecologists at this point.
- Follow your doctors instructions carefully. This is not the time to mess with your drugs or with google.
- I'm currently on labetalol And Aldomet because of my range and history... check your bp frequently at home to ensure that only labetalol in the doses you are using is doing the job.
- it's time for some lifestyle changes. Cut of salt and all fast foods, yes all! Not the time for Sfc and co, they have too much salt in their food. Also start taking walks if you haven't been doing so.
- Stop worrying about the BP or about anything for that matter.Trust me the less you worry the lower your BP and vice versa.
- If manages well there's no reason you can't stay in Nigeria till 34/35 weeks... However pls inform your doctor in the US immediately you arriveof your history.
- There's a 95% chance that you will be induced. This is because typically as the weeks advance your BP does same regardless of drug use so again you know your levels and the best time to leave Naija... you shall most likely not get to 40 weeks.
- Because of point above, there's a higher chance of CS if your doctor chooses that route or if you or your baby do not respond well to inducing... keep an a open mind. And that being said pls pay for epidural oh... coz most times the tin can take longer than the average.
- All in all you will do just fine! Just take closer care of yourself and environment, watch what you eat and don't be careless with meds or with yourself generally
- And finally pray and trust God who has successfully seen millions of women with the same condition through! You will testify this year IJN, Amen.

Hope this helped... Sorry for any typos... can't go back to edit. Happy Bumping!

Happy New Year in advance everyone. Please is there any one here who had or who knows anyone with pregnancy Induces hypertension. I don't understand why my BP is going up and down. I am on labetelol now but does anyone have any experience to share and how it was handled before they travelled. I am still looking for ticket for January even though my EDD is April becaise I don't want any emergency. But if I seek a solution I can wait longer Instead of travelling so early. Please help. Is this the right thread for this. If not please direct me to the appropriate place. Thank you.

Nice. Did you apply as a GT or EH?

GT

Please I ask again o. Is it only 2.1 and above that was being invited. Was any 2.2 invited?? If yes did you have masters?? Coincidentally all the people I know who got invites had 2.1 so I want to be sure. Thank you

Ashibeb:

I have a 2.1 but my application is still pending, my immediate elder brother has a 2.2 but has been invited. I don't think the grade matters to them.

Is your brother an experienced hire or Graduate trainee.
