I had no travel history prior to applying for visa to birth my 2nd baby. Same with my husband and my 1st baby. Though i got my visa before them and my husband and 1st baby went for visa interview after i arrived US. Surprisingly, the vo did not make an reference to my visa, just asked them if they were going for vacation and confirmed my husband's status at his place of work. More of what he wrote in the DS-160. jimohkehinde: |

On Mrs. Ladee1's issue, i just searched for this Ben Taub and i cant find a concrete info to hold on to on billings from past users, even their experiences sef get kleg, which boils down to our level of preparedness for dis capital project, its expensive and nt for the faint at heart. If u want to go down dis lane, u better tie ur wrapper very well (as my people will say) and wen peeps advise that u read instead of asking emergency questions, save urself d stress and read thoroughly. Ladee1, i'll advise that u allow ur hubby do all d calling and visits to d finance dept for you to negotiate the bills, for WIC and medicaid, follow ur conscience, and pls note that wat worked for A may not always work for B. Wish you the best and waiting for ur story at d end. 7 Likes |

I wanted to type a long speech too. Congrats on d arrival of ur babies. To ur questions on ur bills, mamas who used ben Taub may come to ur rescue. For medicaid and WIC, dats a no-go area, u cant claim u can afford to birth ur babies in US and become wards of d US govt. I ve also read dat u risk a denial of ur future visa application, having taken benefits from d govt. [/quote author=anonymousmum post=54657738] I was going to type up an epistle but nahhh... Congratulations but mehn, don't be trying this kind of thing. 36 weeks travel? 24 hours flight? Babies? i.e. twins? I'm speechless. [/quote] |

So I made some notes before i travelled, more of tips. I hope the new mama's find them useful. 1. Delete all implicating emails/bbm/whatsaapp chats/texts from your phone before boarding cos of POE, including contacts saved with Nairaland (NL) 2.Fly before 36 weeks (i.e. 35 weeks + 1 day = 36 weeks). Pls note i went with Emirates. 3. Get Fit to fly from Doctor signed 2 days to trip and also signed copy of the medif form downloaded from Emirates website. Make 4 copies and keep the original signed forms. Always present the duplicate 4. Weigh your luggage before you leave the house. 5. For return journey, carry your change of clothes and basic needs in your hand luggage because of the layover in Dubai. You wont have access to your luggage until you get to Lagos. 6. For hospital bag, just take yours and baby's change of clothes to return home, charger, earpiece and few toiletries, every other thing will be given to you in the hospital. 7. Take a mid-size box to the hosp to be able to pack all the gifts and takeaways you will get in the hosp. 8. For food stuffs, pack each item in a ziploc bag and clearly mark them. 9. Freeze your palmoil, locust beans and pap and put them in a cooler bag before putting it in your check-in luggage. 10. Some basic things you can buy from Nigeria that will save you cost - blueseal vaseline, cottonwool, methylated spirit etc. these things are less than $1 here and not entirely different from what you will buy for $5 or more in the US. 11. Limited purchase of newborn and 0-3 mths clothes, more of 3- 6mths, 6-9mths and so on. 12. Ask for coupons when you buy stuffs in store or even online. Look out for sales/deals. 13. If you want to bring diapers/wipes from the US, take along a thick ghana must go bag (biggest size) to carry them. the bag has no weight and can carry more unlike a box. 14. Have all documents in your carry-on bag for POE. 15. When going out within the US, always have 1 or 2 bottles of water in your bag, cheaper than buying for about a $1 wen u go out. A pack of 24 bottle is $2.5. 16. Discharge the uber driver when you go out and google stores that are all in the same vicinity/shopping mall to save transportation cost. 17. Do not throw away the receipts of goods purchased until you are safely in Nigeria. You cant say, you may need to return some items in the US or luggage may get missing in transit. 18. Take pics of your luggage before you check them in, you cant say when it may be needed. 19. Once baby arrives, start documentation process immediately. Correctly fill the forms in the hosp and make inquiries on timelines. Let them also know you are traveling soon. 20. Also make efforts to pay your bills within the week you put to bed so that all documentations can be concluded before you leave the US. 21. In the event that you are sent to secondary inspection, please get a book to read to wait out the time and do not panic. Dont be seen pressing your phone, keep your phone out of sight if possible and remain calm. I hope this is helpful. 86 Likes 13 Shares |

What is wrong remain wrong, no matter how you choose to paint it. However, I noted a point which i dont think it applies to all, not all of us see a better life in US and i dont think i would ever leave my life in naija to struggle to live under falsehood in the US or begin again, some of us are enjoying life in naija.

In my opinion, hope clinic discounted rate are for low income earners and isnt applicable to us foreigners who dont actually earn an income in US. I advise u stay clear of them. I called them while i was in Richmond, but considering d paperwork i had to fill and disclosing info that are nt true, i walked away. I used dr. Rubina khan in memorial hermann and i didnt regret it.

I had my baby in Oakbend and didnt take antenatal classes at d hosp but at dr. Z's clinic. I wasnt given free milk at d hosp cos i was lactating but my friend was given a pack of 6 bottles wen she was discharged and also had supplies althru her stay in d hosp. For diapers, u'll get newborn size in abundance but note dat ur baby is likely to outgrow it in 2 weeks. I also got toiletries, sanitary pads etc, in short just take ur baby's take home clothes alone, u'll get every other thing in d hosp. Sophiamax16: 6 Likes |
