Forgot to say, the lady that had her VBAC last week arrived at 37 weeks from naija and had her baby normally at 39 weeks plus.

She will get a refund of $1,350 because she paid for a CS initially. ( Looking forward to my iwn refund, shopping things )

VBAC here is same price with normal delivery. Old price was 2,888 but the new price is 5,400 all inclusive.

bims87: It's Jackson Hospital, Montgomery Alabama and they charge 2800 for normal delivery.

raii: Chick I thought u got appointment before the hoke. I understand those that had it bfo the hike pay the old price but are advised ti call Francesca in MIHS.

Tvegas: The link below contains details of the new MIHS package, i guess patients are still entitled to some discounts when they sign the agreement.Some clarity should be sought on that though. Its noteworthy that the new package includes all the tests, prenatal care and many more. http://mihs.org/uploads/sites/19/2014/Martha-Maternity_Package_Non_Resident_2014.9.pdf

For those discussing security in america, there is nothing to be worried about in my view. Your average dangerous areas are safer than most highbrow locations in Nigeria where the police abuse everything. Above all Safety is the lord's.

nefertitiram: Someone should call Tucson Medical Center in Arizona, I hear they are gangsta too.

Chicago hosps too have some gangsta prices, I no get power to do this research.

major1p: Oh Please. Don't insult our intelligence here. Your name alone gives you away as a travel agent. You're just very subtle about your marketing style. All it takes is to click on your name and your posts on other topics advertising flights will come up. You don't have to refer to yourself as an agent. It is interesting though that your only responses on this thread relate to flights. I can't see where Tvegas has misled anybody and flights are not exactly the focus of this thread

@cfcchic, stop being defensive about time limit for travel. People are making general comments and referring to no one in particular. Decide on when you want to fly, commit your plans to God, take the experiences of others into consideration and just fly. Shikena.

lizcom25: Every pregnant woman have a choice to make for safety purpose. Why will you wait till 35/36 wks bfore flying? Whatever that will keep you till then is the choice you have made over safe journey and birthing

nefertitiram: Yer, my doc told me around 20 weeks to leave asap if I had to travel because my placenta was low lying.
Na oversabi I take use wait till 27 weeks, although some circumstances were beyond my control but I could have left if I took it more seriously

nefertitiram: People are different, I planned to travel at 27 weeks and didn't make it to the airport.
Just be in tune with your body, it won't lie to you

nefertitiram: Hi All,
I lost my babies, poor handling in ICU here in Nigeria, even at 7 months. Another reason why everybody needs to have their baby in the US! I pray no one experiences this kind of loss in Jesus Name,
I have managed to move on. Time to go back to the drawing board, sad loss after trying for a number of years.
I cannot question God.

Tvegas: @mrs flowers, Nita and uncle Oawele. ...Make una no vex . I already envisaged something like this will happen because of the crowd trooping to MIHS. Everyone responds to the law of demand and supply, it's not peculiar to Nigerians alone.

Finding good alternatives is what we should preoccupy ourselves with. Yesterday, i saw one maternity package in Sarasota, florida but the price is still around 5k epidural and everything inclusive. I called them to know if discounts can be granted but it was entering voice mail. So The search continues.

Flowers: My point was just that for anything in biz, the higher the demand for it thje higher the price. Nigerians over doing thing I mean is that some people just come to the forum and flow with the crowd without any research. Just asking questions and questions without even reading the forum. Am not here to trade words with anyone. Some people are just rude.

bims87: Hello peeps, from doing some research,somebody recommended an hospital in Montgomery, Alabama where she gave birth and the hospital fee is 2800 while the Doc's fee is 1200. M turning towards dre right now in the event of MIHS fee increase.

Phema: Oh, I see it now, but on a different page. Not under the usual "Maternity package plan" drop down. Also not as comprehensive as it used to be.

trav: Hello House,

Please does anybody have any experience or information about processing Nigerian visa in the UK. Our baby's US passport just came out and we have less than a week to spend in the US before leaving so processing a Nigerian visa or passport in the US is not working for me. We plan to spend a few days in the UK before returning to Nigeria so I think I should just process the visa at the Nigerian High Commission in London. The problem is I am not getting much information from the High Commissions website and they are also not picking calls.

I will appreciate any advise or information regarding how to go about processing a Nigerian visa for our daughter at the Nigerian High Commission in the UK.

Lady jst go to the high commission with all necessary documents u'll get ur baby's visa.my brother inlaw and wife did something it was quite easy for them.

Thanks all

erico2k2: U got to be resident of the UK to do that

chinwe11: Hi Nairalanders.


Has anyone ever had problems with renewing thier visa via drop box? I had my first in the US though i had applied for a B1B2 visa. I didnt know i was pregnant during the interview anyway so i said no when asked the prego question. I eventually had my baby there, and paid over 13k USD). I visited again 6 months after and stayed about three weeks.

Now applying for a b1b2 again (not pregnant this time), but was told i dont need an interview since my previous visa just expired. I have all my receipts from the previous hospital, and pay slips and all, but was told all i need to submit at drop box is my confirmation letter and passport stuff.

Anyone been refused? or will they call me to come with my reciepts for interview instead>


Thanks

raii: Wetin do crossland? I think someone mentioned extended stay-biltmore.

MadameU: cfcchick]
Thats great...I have my visa already. Not gonna stay in Crossland thou.still browsing for other apartments but might consider palm shadows.

@ cfc please what procedure did you follow to get a fianancial appointment. ive mailed and called but no luck.

bims87: Hello, m also due in Feb,2015 and Phoenix bound. Ve gotten an appointment with Financial already and hoping to mail the embassy soon on my change in travel plans. Ve u thought of accommodation? Wre would u be staying? Can we Feb Phoenix mums in the house form a forum?

MrsBee: I think Palm Shadows has 1 bedroom but I don't have the details. A lady was there for a week but moved to Crossland cos she was alone there. You might want to use Google for more details.

Nita2013: Yeah cfcchick, u can look at extended stay East Oak and extended stay Biltmore. Few pple that stayed there had good things to say and it's closer to d Hospital than Crossland.

Nita2013: Lol @cfcchick and raii. Ok oh we will keep u guys posted. My LO is yet to pop but I av been to d hospital 3 times now (Financials, Ob/Gyn and Blood test/Scan) and d service so far has been great as they listen to everything u av to say and keep askin u if u av any problem.

I am presently at crossland and we r many here oh. It's like a small naija community and a family as well. We had a small buffet dinner on Saturday and some Mommas from other apartments also came. Would have posted pics but don't kno if our very own Justwise would allow that. Some Mommas av popped already and all momma/babies r doing great. God has been faithful to his words.

One thing I notice about MIHS is that they try their best to avoid CS. CS is normally d last option for them when they see that all options av been exhausted. But like I say God is d ultimate.

Boo, thank u o jare! This sounds gud! Always feed us wit any info u get abeg. I dnt wanna stay at crossland thou! Any other ones u can recommend?

raii: You one step ahead of me then.
