You have to call to book an appointment and dey will send an email confirmation. But with other mamas experiences its best u contact a doc that will give u a formal correspondence. Theirs jusy has a date and ur name...not too detailed.

Google search email correspondence on this ygread for more info.

@ raii Thanks for the info will do just that

Hello phoenix mamas,i called the Loft @ 10 apartment people and was told me that they are fully booked. So pls i still need info on any apartment not too far from MIHS that is below $700/month that they wont demand for US ID CARD & SSN to book
Pls i still need help o!

Yes u hv 2 book thru d fone. Wen u do dat ask of alba calhan she is very efficient. Request u want to get it via email cos dey will tell u dat it will b posted. Bt sincerely u go wait tire! Den print out ur agreement page on deir website as anoda burden of proof 4 poe cos deir appointment letter is very scanty believe mi. Dats wat I intend using. Bear in mind no doc will b assigned 2 u via mail until u arrive phoenix. So dn't xpect a doc correspondence. D appt is wit financial only. Pls I hope dis helps.

So I got PMS to share my experience with Mihs.
Well, I don't have subsequent experiences with any American hospitals so I really can't compare. All in all, I feel the experience was good. The staff are genuinely concerned bout you, especially the baby. They will take their time to check d baby, you sef go dey pray make them no detain you extra day. One thing though is always ask questions and when you need something, ask. If you are not clear on something, ask as well. The docs will encourage you to ask as well.
Had my baby thru Cs. was actually there that day for my ultrasound, they noticed my aminotic fluid level was a bit low. Na so them keep me for monitoring o. From monitoring, it was decided that they had to bring d baby out cos he kept moving and changing position. Induction wasnt an option cos i had a previous CS, my hope of a VBAC flew outta d window. Then they started explaining explicitly the procedure..fear gripped me at a point. Everyone explained what they were going to do. Nurses, docs, anesthesiologists,. The procedure was over in less than two hours. Recovery in post partum was sweet. Was given ice as soon as i came out. Was adviced to walk around that evening which I did. Those pain meds can turn u to a drug addict. Lol. One thing guaranteed is your welfare is their priority.
Some nurses weren't so great but some are just angels.
As for accomodation, i would advice getting a place where there are other Naija mommas. Believe me, this place boring and moving around isnt that easy. Especially if you dont have anyone to show you arou d. Cross land moms have all left, except for one. Extended stay Oak street still have a few. Ocotillo village which is where i am have just two pple left. Its quite close to d hospital, very close to d airport as well. The only thing is u need an american id and SSN to get a place here.
OK, I think I have tried, I hereby drop my 'golden' pen. Hope this helps someone.

My pregnant unmarried friend wants to give birth in the us. She already has a visa. Was wondering if there is anything diffrent a single mother should know or take account that is diffrent from what a married woman should. Because most people on this site are married.
