Good evening house. I am 23weeks gone and love to have my child in the US. Please which of the states is pocket friendly and is it stil possible for me to apply now. I will love to have hospital recommended.thanks all
grin grin grin grin
my dear, jeje pull out ya notepad...and start from the beginning or middle of the thread and read up. this is a diy thread. however some people could be open to being rewarded to read for you and also help you apply, if you motivate them handsomely

23 weeks isnt too late, you can book appointment, while you take 1 to 3 wks to read , get hospitals correspondence.and prep for visa interview
Texas and Illinois have pocket friendly prices

Mummy4life1:
Madam, I am also 21weeks plus but my doctors advised me to stop@28weeks.

I used HMO for my own so I did not feel it at all. Cyclogest cost N11,000 for 15days but HMO saved me from extra cost.

In summary Madam, You can't stop unless your doctor ask you to do otherwise.
hmmmmmmm, thats an overkill, and prolly waste if you ask me.
the placenta develops and starts producing/supplying progesterone at 12wks, so progesterone supplementation usually ends y then for most people. hope your doc has a REASONBALE reason for asking you to continue till wk 28?...and is not acting out of ignorance and just wasting your money.

my 2 cents, stick to your docs advice, las las

I experienced the worst side of lithium ion batteries on the 5th of December 2019. It exploded and completely razed my store room.

My observations and lessons learnt will be posted on here later.
terrible, and i learnt the fire cant be put off, conventional fire fighting methods like water, foam cant put if off. you just gotta let it burn, till it exhausts its fuel supply.
someone shared a link few months ago, in the usa..the fire service came, and just stood by to let the fire burn out, after isolating the burning structure from other nearby houses

Please follow your doctor's orders about the Fansidar for the safety of your babies. I also initially ran from my fansidar when given at 19 weeks nobody taught me to use it at 21 weeks and since then baby has been kicking as if world War 3 is happening inside of me.
how did you take it?. 3 tabs at once or one daily

@comtem2011, yeah, i was thinking fansidar cures malaria as well, so is it better to wait if/when malaria will appear and then drink the fansidar, cos from what they are saying..the fansidar regime is to be taken 2x or 3x, wk 19, wk 22 etc. 3tabs taken at once on each occasion

portune:
I AM THE OP

**** THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR ADVISE **
. INDEED THINGS WILL CHANGE FOR ME FROM THE LOADS I HAVE RECEIVED HERE. I WILL BE FIRMER AND STRONGER ON DECISIONS.

MY DECISION.....


THERE WILL NO LONGER BE ANY SEXUAL INVOLVEMENT WITH HER FOR THE MEAN TIME.

NO XMASS OUTINGS OR FAMILY VISITS. WE ARE ROOMATES NOW. I CAN TAKE KIDS OUT BUT THE TWO OF US CANNOT ENGAGE IN ANYTHING IN UNISIM.

AS FOR FAMILY EXPENDITURE , IT HAS TO BE AT THE BAREST MINIMUM AND OF SERIOUS IMPORTANCE.

THE ONLY THING I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SHARE WITH OTHER FEMALES ARE SEXUAL EMOTIONS AND INTIMACY AND SHE HAS FRUSTRATED THAT. OTHER WIFE'S BENEFITS ARE SCRAPPED.

Women rarely value their spouses till the man is gone. I cannot follow the same fate. It is better marriage ceases than for me to cease.

THANK YOU ALL ONCE AGAIN...

I AM TOO YOUNG TO DIE!!!
the love is likely dead, the reason....is btw u n her.
how many kids do you have?
has she ever liked sex??
does she organsm when you have sex??
how good is ur divk game??

Pls what does it take for me to invite my siblings for my introduction.. I’m a permanent residence and non of my families have met my in-laws.
they can try their luck applying, however, the americans dont give a rat's as.s about such, weddings, graduation, honeymoon, birthdays..etc, they dont care, and treat each application on merit.

same goes for Invitation letters from green card holders, citizens etc...holds no water, and during interview...they rarely ask to see such letters..

sry i may have sounded harsh, but thats the harsh reality

So I just called emory and they told me there are still costs not included in that 13,600k bill, such as paed, drugs dispensed during delivery etc.

please who has like an idea of the total amount it would cost with these things inclusive just so that I am better prepared. Thanks.
you could consider towing the path of the previous poster, by getting your own doctor, who would then use emory hospital.
2ndly, since you already have a valid visa, you are a free agent, why not consider other american cities with more pocket friendly birthing prices...illinois, detroit oklahoma etc

3rdly, if you are tied to atlanta, there are still more affordable hospitals around emory..like piedmont, womens specialist hospital etc

ladyprosper:
i really don’t know what am not doing right...The doctor’s fee for the third trimester is 2100. Can someone please put me through?
ahaa... i see the problem, you probablly contacted a private doc who uses emory, doc T perhaps??, he has given you a bill of 2100, while what you attached is just the hospital/facility charges. should you wish to use emory - the complete package doc inclusive has an additional amout, $6k or so....and this covers docs fees, tests, appointments etc, so by sourcing for your own doc, you wud be saving over $3k. how the VO will see this during interview/renewal...is subject to diff interpretations.
Below is the terms normally used in the usa, and the naija equivalent grin

Prenatal Care & Delivery ----- docs fee & all associated fees, excluding paediatricians fee
Facility ---------- hospital fees

Hmmmm...I got a bill of 8600 for CS at Emxxx...hospital bill plus doctors fee....can’t figure out why am getting it cheap and what am not doing right
Am fairly certain docs fee is not there, their current avg price is $10k plus for vaginal and 13k plus for csection, for singleton birth, or you got your quote prior sept 2019, as the statement below was attached to their current quote.


These prices are valid September 2019 – August 2020.

This is a double edged question.
Is your visa valid for travel?-Yes till March 5
Is your passport valid for travel?- No, to depart your airport of origin your passport needs to be at least 6 months into the future.

Please nobody should come here and argue about this. That is the first thing your check in agent will verify. I have a lot of friends whose vacation plans have been ruined for this reason.
he an get a new passport, and travel with both passports..the visa is the main thingy, passport expiry is just 35k or so..and u get a new PP

I got a quote from Emory Hospital and they gave this quote.
Thank you for this information! I’d be happy to answer your following questions:



1. The cost of $10,740 and $13,564 includes a 35% discount.

2. This cost includes: delivery (physician fees), prenatal care, anesthesia, and facility fees ONLY. Additional services such as pediatric care, lab testing, imaging, stitching, etc. will be additional costs billed after hospital discharge.

3. Yes this includes the doctor’s fee.

4. Anesthesia is included in this cost

5. In the event patient does not use prenatal care, a refund will be processed back to the original method of payment.

6. Additional services such as pediatric care, lab testing, imaging, stitching, etc. will be additional costs billed after hospital discharge.

My question is what do they mean by Stiching on point 6. If CS is done won't stitching be included?
Please can someone advise.Or who ever has used this package before please help explain.
did you later go ahead with this package @ Emory?
