UTSS:And El faier (fire) has finally been found ,I just pity the dumb nurse who is now a drug trafficker unknowingly.i really like el faier I hope he gets redemption. Enjoying the series

Really enjoying it too

Infact it's the only one I'm watching.

Hotstepper:
I will answer your questions n sections just like you have asked them.

1. Depending on what part of the country, can go from 1000 up since it's 2 bedroom

2. If you are going to be in Toronto which I advise you stay since you don't know any whine then the set up I'd like US and buses run till 2 am.

3. Birth certificate, passport all takes about 5 to 7 business days so u apply as soon as you can and follow up too by tracking it online or calling them if need be. I always tell people to fill the passport application form and get it ready so once the birth certificate comes, u just go and submit the application. If your map ouse won't be coming with you, they will require that he goes to one of the canadian embassy and sign sumthing just to make sure he's the baby's Father. I have an insider in Nigerian embassy in ottawa cuz to go there and their yeye is sumthing else and I always advise for travel document and when you get to naija you do passport . The guy charges for it anywayz but it's always ur best best .

4. Toronto is your best bet esp since you don't know anyone

Good luck

Toronto it is then. God bless
Are you in Toronto

Hello people,
Am safely back from my journey, all thanks to God almighty. none of the Cbp was interested in my huge baby bump, they just had my passport stamped in. had my baby after 24 hrs i arrived my destination, Lloyminster Alberta, it was indeed a miracle birth. God decided to bring the baby out at 37 weeks at Praire north hospital at Lloydminster, the nurses and doctors were good and the hospital is also good. spent about 7000cad for all the hospital bills. the only aspect i didnt like is the issue of not giving free health card and social insurance number until d child is 18yrs where he or she can apply for both personally except one of d parent is atleast resident in Canada. hotstepper please get well soon and analyse that for us as you promised.

Congrats and welcome back
37 was cutting it close thank God u still made it
Pls can you give more details especially on where you stayed / cost
Movement
Weather
Processing of documents
Naija visa / passport
Etc

Thanks

Hotstepper:
What's confusing you? Tell me and I will make it clearer for u

my confusion list is plenty o! But let's start with the following;

1. Cost of renting an apartment (2 bed) for about 2 months or do one go the route of extended stay

2. How do people move about - is the transportation system like london where there are trains everywhere or Houston where we rent or uber

3. You said birth cert takes 5 days. What of passport? And Naija visa - or can we get a Naija passport for the baby

4. What city is best - considering ease of movement, the fact that I don't know a soul in Canada (actually I do but thru don't have papers I no wan near them), proximity to a good hospital / dr / shopping Centre / airport / passport processing office etc

My insurance covers up to $10k dollars for birth and medical related expenses

Thanks in anticipation

ZillyO:
Also try and carry Stanbic credit card, they charge you at inter bank rate when you use it abroad.
All the best

Stanbic credit card is swiping for 285 as at today. Same as the stanbic debit card. Pls explain what you mean by inter bank rate

happymama:
Gudday mamas,abeg,au r we copin wit our Lo in dis hot weather..

Generator don hear am...that plus inverter

As Nepa have gone on permanent holiday

Zumabeezle:
Hello mamas and papas. pls I need your advice.
I applied for renewal via dropbox and submitted at DHL on monday. Up till now I have not heard anything from them and I'm getting worried. Pls how long does it usually take to hear from them?
Pls advice.

Track it onlineto see its progress

Monday is too soon to be worried

Worse case they will call you for an interview as no on gets denied through Dropbox without a fair chance via interview

vcole:
ladyG, nerf, favoredgal, etc etc make una come see oh! choi! i remember that bbiz post and how he (or she?) was actually called out by peeps for being an "agent" and he (or she?) was quite defensive and somewhat rude in response. sigh. let's all be careful.

My dear I already heard the full gist in Houston

Thanks hotstepper.
Still very confusing but I guess as I follow the thread I will understand better

shelly23:
My sister used it about 2wks ago and paid back 199.5. The extra charge was for withdrawing cash.
Infact it was her boss (she's a banker) who advised her to increase the limit to the max of 20k cos of this dollar issue.

Maybe it's. Dollar denominated credit card
Naira denominated credit card is charged at the normal rate which is currently above 280 but the benefit is higher daily limits

@iyabetajos...hmm the chances of survival at 28 weeks is slim in Nigeria o!

If you were abroad I will say yes, but hmm, what level of new born intensive care do they have at the hospital

Pls seek other opinions from certified medical practitioners and most importantly the voice of the lord
You are in my prayers... As always

Do you have preclempsia?

Thanks Nita
For me that the whole Medicals will be free / refundable with my insurance it's probably still cheaper than the Us.

I guess when I'm ready will look at the other costs such as accommodation and processing of documents to decide if it's worth it

This whole no formula wave is also hitting the USA. At oakbend on my second missionary journey ( so unlike the first) they also refused to give formula, refused to keep the baby at the nursery.
Same happened with a friend that used memorial Hermann too
Not sure what this health card is about but I doubt I need it

Had to break down in laughter when I got to picture taken two weeks ago

Abeg you have displaced Phema in hilarious burden of proof



I honestly thought nothing could beat her wedding album; wedding Iv; wedding program sojourn

Thumbs up and thank God for safe entry

Enizo:
Okay gurus I need help DW has crossed we all know that now her passport is carrying her maiden name.

How do I get my baby to bear my name.

We are using Dr Fagbohun @ oakbend so if u have a solution to the scenario please act accordingly. Many thank to everyone who held our hands to this stage.

Please I will still need to be han held and spoon feed till this is over @firstymum @lg @jayjay4lyf @all

She doesn't need any help. Just fill the name (s) as you want it on the birth certificate.
Do you think it's all the Americans that change their name when they marry?

Regardless of what name is on her passport... She has to write her maiden name when filling the birth certificate in the space for mother

benedictac:
Daniel of For Love and Justice is the one playing Rodrigo abi?

Nope! Just the same voice over...,this one has real swG

I'm feeling the actor playing Rodrigo - swag on point

The Luis guy is also cute

Livelystone and faithisallihave pls use gestational age and not birth age to compare your children against the growth chart till at least 6 months

That's what I heard the dr advice the mothers of preemies at my hospital
I'm sure your los are right on track so don't stress

I really sympathize with everyone planning a trip now

These are terrible times to be incurring expenses in foreign currency. The lord is y'all wallet.

Firsttymum I think that your 2 infant bag was a fluke

Enizo what hospital is she using? Fortbend county is more efficient than Harris. If it's oakbend or Methodist sugar land then she can get all her documents in a week and clear out ASAP. Before you file for extension she should open up to her dr about the possibility of an induction at 38 wks
There are also other ways to induce labor naturally

Good luck

I'm with y'all o
Just ish someone will share a detailed experience or procedure

sayoberry:
pls does any mama know desitin? do they sell desitin in nigeria I just ran out!

Ebeano has....any top store should too

viviparity:

To stop The green poop....make sure she empties one breast completely before you switch to the other one

That way she gets both the fore and hind milk

mummyf:
All glory to almighty God!!!I just gave birth o.

Wow, mummF.... Big fat congratulations

Congrats @yetunspepper

I din't know pregnant mothers baby sat other people's kids for a fee!!

Is this another way of making money to supplement the birth money?

Sounds weird; I mean why not just help if you wanna help....that's me though

bentenny:

Aracely Arámbula aka Lucia or Enrique Iglesias to add sum alteration to dat song....it sounds too local to me...!

That's the nice thing about the song.... The localness
Esp since the series is about the 'hood'

SimpleWow:
Hello house
I have heart burn and was given Gascol Antacid Suspension at the clinic, but don't want to use it.
Pls, how do I ease heart burn naturally. Tanx
#teammarch

It's safe to use, however To prevent it naturally, isolate the foods and keep like a food diary so you know the foods that triggers heartburn for you

neks31:
Dear Emeriem .. As a mom who is currently in Houston with a daughter I will plead with u to leave her behind, pls pls just find someone or beg hubby to stay with her. Coming here with a toddler for this Waka is not easy at all.. .

Remember when I was asking if you were coming with your daughter?

It's not easy to be away from your kid, my heart broke every day I was apart from my first child like I used to break down and cry!!!! After every skype, but when she came with my mom later on, I was so thankful I dint bring her initially and also doubly thankful that my mom was around


And when the baby came...hmm... Mummy carry me and strange tantrums. It's not easy o!

Keji3:
Abeg i don come again o, my baby's over pooing has caused severe diaper rash and it's breaking my heart to see her go thru this. Please what can i use to relief her and clear it cos my diaper cream is not working on this. Also please what does teething poop look like? Thanks in advance

Desitin is very effective
It also prevents diaper rash

What diaper are you using? Over pooing shouldn't cause a rash if you are using a good diaper, so you may want to look into that

bentenny:
UTSS:
some husbands can be so insensitive....see how dat wifey bought a sexy nighty just to make her hubby happy only to get rejected....
That guy will be d first to complain if the wifey starts looking unattractive...
So far so good for Under The Same Sky.....nice and familiar characters....but a terrible opening theme in my opinion....

You don't like the theme...? Very salsa - ish song

I love it

benedictac:
Lol. This soap never get bearing for me.

It's a fantastic soap o! I love love love

About the struggles of illegal immigrants living in the hood which is controlled by gangs

Very different from the regular romance cliche soaps and realistic too
I don't like face of destiny; monster child this, monster child that....similar to that other serial killer one! (Someone is watching) Nothing new or fascinating; Iv stopped watching

HillyMa:
Good afternoon Mothers in the house, am 8weeks gone a FTM. Please is it ok for me to keep exercising ? I don't AV any symptom other than slight fatigue. Is it safe to exercise at this stage?

Pls continue if you were actively exercising before you got pregnant.

It helps your body snap back in an instant

ajujuju:
So sorry darling but the minute you requested epidural into labour, ur request became emergency o. And dts d reason d bill went so high.

Usually epidural shld be prepaid to qualify for seld pay discount.

Just go to billing/accounts and see if you can get into a negotiation. Or ask of your doctor can intervene to request a deduction for you.

Fingers crossed.

Not true for oakbend
