Hello, when are you travelling? I will be rounding up by Feb ending by God's grace. I will be leaving last week of DEC.

Hello mamas, please is there anyone going to Houston ending of DEC that have accommodation to share or want a shared accommodation. Please let's hook up and discuss.

@ Firsttymum thanks, it is not selfmedication. They insisted on me taking fansidar, and I refuse because I did not like the effect I had the last time I took it. But he later recommend same coaterm. I don't like taking medicine any how especially when I am pregnant. It scares me. @ misscanada, I have done that already, wanted to hear from a mother and professional.....

firsttymum:

What trimester / how many weeks pregnant.
Is d person sure it's malaria?

26 weeks pregnancy.it is malaria and pls is there any medicine for malaria prevention during pregnancy. Thank you.

@Firsttymum pls what other medicine can one take for malaria in pregnancy. I am asking because you are a doctor and a woman too.

coolcathy:
If you are interested in shared accommodation in Houston starting from December,send me a pm

Hi, pls from what time in DEC. For some reason my pm is not working. You can send me a pm if you can.

Annim:
Booked my infant ticket today with AF. Was not funny. 1st time I called I was told to book an adult return ticket from the US since LO is a US citizen. 2nd call gave me a quote of $464. 3rd call gave a quote of less than $100. Finally paid $98. Trick is to keep calling till you get someone reasonable to reason with.

Hello dear, can I send you a pm, I need some information about the hospital you used and the doctor please. Thanks

TOKNOW:
Hello house, who has heard from lajoie, hope she is fine and I pray that her son is fine by now, she might have even put to bed. She has been silent for a long time now.

God really favoured me. I was rejected last year with my husband when i wanted to have my first child in the US but God did it this time. I have silently followed this thread and read from Pt1 last year. Stopped at part 2 when my visa was refused. As soon as i got pregnant again, i resumed from where i stopped. Glad my sleepless nights paid off. No bank statements checked, just my doctors correspondence was checked and nothing else. Thanks to all the contributors of this thread. God bless you all. Houston here i come in December!

Congrats dear, I will be travelling in DEC too to Houston. Can I pm you so that we can rub mind.

Hello wonderful people, how are you all doing? Congratulations to all successful poe experience, and all that have put to bed and God's grace to all still on the line. Please does anyone know any hospital in Houston that one can pay thru form A. I have searched did not really see anything like that. Thanks

I have really gained a lot from this forum, thanks to everyone one of you who have contributed immensely to this topic. Now it is my turn to start giving back...lol
We went for our visa interview today in abuja l and DH.below is how it went down, most questions were directed to my DH.
DH/me: good morning
Vo: good morning, passports pls, what is your r/ship
DH: she is my wife
Vo: why are you going to the us
DH: I nearly lost my last child during birth here in Nigerian and due to complications that came up after that, so we decided to seek for a better and quality healthcare and also for a hospital with better facilities.
Vo: you are going for child birth
Dh/ and I: yes
Vo: do you have any correspondence with any doctor
Dh: yes,( pass the doc. Across)
Vo: how did you get the doctor( while going through the doc and typing on his computer)
Dh: we searched thru zocdoc and healthgrade, we went through review of both the hospitals and doctors, then decided on this doctor and the hospital because of the good reviews we got.
Vo: how much do you budget for this
Dh: 17k(USD)
Vo: do you have any travel history
Dh: yes, my work takes me round most countries (vo cuts in)
Vo: where do you work
Dh: I work with........., I do ............
Vo: what does that mean
Dh: explains more in details
Vo: how much do you earn monthly
Dh: I earn ..........
Vo: madam what do you do
Me: I do ......, and I earn ..... But my Dh is the one sponsoring the trip.
Vo: how many children do have
Dh: we have so..so children
Vo: are you travelling with them
Dh: no we are not
Vo: typed for a long time, asked Dh for his bank statement, went thru it, and continued typing. Then asked, who will be taking care of the kids while you travel
Dh: we have arranged for their grandmother that is my mother-in-law to come stay with them.
Vo:/typed for some more, then pass out all our doc.and said that our visa has been approved, gave us the white paper, you will see the detail of how to pick it up. Have a safe trip.
I was so happy, because I was just praying all the prayers I know while watching. Hope my write up is not too long.
From my observation, there is really little luck can do for you, just go prepared, carry all the doc required( Burden of proof).and be confident to explain yourself well also be very honest. This is my first success story.

You don drop name now. Next thing Dr. Rosa go become overbooked. Una never know these nairaland people!

I no support Dr. F o! Two doctors I'm totally against. Dr. F and Dr. A (he who must not be named )
We have been down this road before but they drowned our voices. Sebi it has reared it's ugly head again. Make una kuku pay me to research for una.

Hello Nerf, I hope that Dr A you you are talking about is a woman. She has good reviews both in healthgrade and zocdoc Or is there another doctor that is Dr A I don't know. This doctor issue dey fear me ooo

firsttymum:

I didn't pay for hearing test. It's not compulsory... Even tho I didn't use ur Hosp.
I did it my self... Do it naija style.... Just shout chei and see if the baby won't wake up or shake ( or even b frightened). I did one ear at a time
Two routine visit first visit because of registration it was 65 dollars or so subsequent was 55 or 50. Check November 10th or 11th post I posted details on this
Dr's fee doesn't cover scan. My friend used him.. She was ranting how she had to pay for scan.

Hahahaha, you know I wake up every morning searching for your posts. There is no dull moment with you. You are so funny. I think I will adopt you hearing testing Method. Hearing testing ko!

ijeomaobi1:
@ favoredgirl,

48 hours starts counting the minute you check in and by 12 midnight that day, the first 24 hours has gone. That's why people complain of being overcharged by hospital.

Finally Dr F got to me by 10.30 am today and I had my very beautiful baby 12.25 pm.weighs 3.57 kg. So I have forgiven him and hope he changes for the better.

Yippee am a FTM and am so in love with my Angel.

congrats dear. Thank God it all ended with joy!

nefertitiram:


Chai, dearie, don't worry, baby will be here any moment. If he is CS, he really can't be in two places at once. He is human.

Unfortunately you are already in labour and the baby can come anytime. I'm guessing the midwives will take your birth.

When I went for my scheduled CS, I got there at 7am I didn't deliver till 1pm due to different emergency cases so I waited and was taking selfies

Oya sip Lipton take cool ya body

@ Nef dear, this is really unprofessional, waiting for scheduled cs is not same as labour pain nah. @Ij, don't worry everything will be fine.

hardeymijuh:

you can pm, i already received one, thought that was you...

Thanks dear for replying,just saw this now. I have already sent you a pm. Hoping to hear from you soon. Regards to your newborn.

hardeymijuh:

Thanks for replying, did you send me pm or should I send you pm.
