She has ran away,refusing to answer all the calls to explain her self concerning the allegation of being a marketer. And by refusing to do so,is as good as being guilty!

@Bbiz busted!! the hustle is real mehn pm me for this... pm me for that... haba!! this your rikz matter no be here ooooo....

As for the question asked, I am not an agent to no one, it is against the law for one to do that my dear. only Nigerians will try to do that am not surprise. The Executive assistant to the CEO of West Houston happened to be my very good friend. She used the Doctor for her first baby and planing to use him for second. My current roommate used him and she just gave birth last week.I have meet him myself I know he is well experience. I did not used him because i gave birth at Ben Tub hospital. I don't know how much mine cost was because i did not pay the bills. I am a US Citizen that happen to live in Lagos and also frequent in USA. I don't see what is wrong in sharing my accommodation with someone who need it while am in the state. You do not know me and please do not judge me. Naira Land moms please appreciate it when some one is trying to help.

friend:
My great pple, I tire for West Houston. They have created my account with them. I have been trying to reach them to get the hospital account details to pay but no response for days now.
Please if we have anyone with the hospital account details, please send to me on DELETED or what do you think?

Which doctor are you using @ West Houston? Is it doctor Rizk because I have a roommate who just had a baby there using doctor Rizk. I also have the billing info for him before discount and hospital cost too. If you are still interested I can find out from a friend who is the hospital admin assistant to get the right billing department line for you. you can pm to remind me on that.

bassinet is free... If you are traveling internationally you can't do the lap child tingy ( I stand corrected).
The moment u have an infant and request bassinet you are entitled to seat at the first row of the bulk head.
Now if u r taking ur own bassinet might not guarantee you a seat where ur bassinet can b installed.

Thanks I guess this is a new info to me and i really do appreciate the info. The first time I traveled with United air to nija with my baby, I was told by my agent to pay for sit for my baby . He also said that is why I should request bassinet because of my entitlement.

So good to know where have researcher over here ooooooooooooooo. Good job

I did travel to nija without paying for mine daughter's because I learned from my last mistake. I am not going to say you are wrong because I don't know your own experience, I am just sharing mine. I am a frequent flyer that fly 2 to 3 times a year if not more.

I mean the person is in Lagos. How will d form get to the person I'm Lagos?. I'm looking at a cost effective way out for u. Another option is courier... That takes 3 working days I guess

Another option is you can go to the Airport and try to see if anyone can help you take it to Houston, Sometimes they do and it takes just one day.

Hello Moms, I just downloaded one of the infant travel bed, They are several once you can choose from. Bassinet the airline give you is not free, it the money you paid for your baby that made you entitle to the bassinet. you don't have to pay for your baby, you can tell them you are carrying your baby on your lap and that you have a traveling bed. U also put the travelling bassinet(bed) in front of you just like the one the airline provided to you.
Hope I answered your question

Pay at Gtbank

You won't have any problems booking a bassinet or a seat choice. All that can be done online with your booking reference

All my ba flights Iv never gone to ba office for any reason

It's on ur returned when you have your baby with you and have booked the baby's ticket that u can request for a bassinet

Hello Moms, I have been reading and i just have to ask? Why are moms paying for Airline bassinet they might not use?
Anyway, I paid for my first baby and didn't really use it. I later found out that all i needed was my travel baby bed i bought for about $39 would have done a perfect job carrying my baby to nija lol. Seriously all you need is the travel baby bed it is affordable and can be carried along side with your carry on. Wish you all a safe travel back home.

Hello to the gurus and Nairaland family. I am grateful for all the information on the trend which I took advantage of although I have been a silent observer. So to give back here is my POE story!

Flew BA on the 21st of Oct from Abuja to London transit to Altanta. ( requested for wheelchair service but didn't get because of my 17month infant) so I had to walk all the way cos I checked in my stroller all the way to Atlanta.

On arrivals noticed I had to input my details on a computer but got a cancellation on my ticket(because my facial features weren't rightly done) after registering my detail /biometric ( same info as in landing card). The wait was like 1:30mins , cos they had to stamp the people who had no cancellations on their receipt/ticket and then the US citizens. I was asked to join the queue cos they noticed I was pregnant and sweating like a Christmas fowl lol! Wen i approached the CBP I heard the other office whisper it's a 7! The guy responded let's see how it plays out.

CBP: why are you going to Houston?
Me: for child birth
CBP: how long are you here for?
Me: four months
CBP: where will you be staying?
Me: with my relative
CBP:how much cash do you have on you
Me:$1400
CBP: how will you be paying for your bill?
Me: I have a form A from my bank to settle my hospital bill and I have my card for my dr's bill upon arrival.
CBP: he calls out to someone saying she's a yellow and Sends me for secondary inspection.

Met other people waiting and after 5mins I was called
CBP: why are you here?
Me: for child birth
CBP: do you have a Dr confirmed ?
Me: shows him Dr F's correspondence and package
CBP:how much cash do you have on you?
Me: $1400
CBP: how will you be paying ?
Me: dr's fee via my card Upon arrival and hospital via my form A which I will scan to my hubby after getting all the details completed. ( trying to bring out my statement and cards he waves at me to forget it)
CBP: stamps me and my daughter for 6 month , wished me safe delivery and told me to always carry my receipt every time I travel .

I thank God for favour and journey mercies as I am settled in Houston after spending the night in Atlanta. Dr's Appointment is next week. Using Oak bend and already opened an accnt and dr's fee is ready for 20% discount. Wishing other mums a safe trip and success POE story as well as safe delivery.

Welcome to Houston richpearl, its nice to know that you settled in quite alright , thanks on the info it sure do help.

Phema: Thanks for looking into my question(s) but I am not in Nigeria and how can I do the consent thing. I need help especially on this issue of notarizing the consent form

If you are not in Nigeria with your wife go online and print the form, fill it out and do the notary where ever you are scan a copy to your wife's email or email it directly to them. Post the original to your wife so she can take it along with her when she is ready to go to the passport office.
I did the same thing with my first baby but the only issue was that they gave her 1 year passport and told us to go to Nigeria Us Embassy to get the five year passport. Reason for all this was because the person who was to help my hubby bring the original filled form did not show up with it at the time i went to the passport office and was told to asked my hubby to send it to them via email at the time so i can get the passport to travel.
Hope i answered your question?

So after the extra smooth POE experience, the temporary season of hunger games and eventual house swap, my lil one arrived early hours of this morning at wyckoff heights! Its a girl! ( thank God, didnt want any bruce/caitlyn jenner things after buying too much pink!) and it was through a VBAC too. God is indeed very faithful. I thank Him cos it has ended in praise!

Thank God for you and your baby, may his name be praised.
