I can't say for the price difference but airfrance is Bae, even in Paris they didn't ask for the fit to fly. But it's good to always get prepared and then go spoil you inside airplane as they kept telling me to stroll inside the plane and gave me enough fruit juice and water

True they don't ask for fit to fly but their baby allowance is 10kg compared to most airlines that is 23kg

Also they are strict with bag allowance unlike BA. Can't forget all my overweight bags and extra bags that BA carried for free for me

If am Lagos based, na that Arik I go dey enter direct to JFK, inflight or no inflight e no corncern me.

As in sleep all the way... go with a novel or an iPad. Inflight entertainment is the least parameter for me

When there is cost and also travel time to consider

Good afternoon all,

Please those who renewed visa thru Dropbox and called for interview, what documents did you take along for the interview?

I have been informed by the embassy that I have to come for interview. I know I am to take all receipts for my daughter's birth. Please what else do I need to take along?

Thanks.

All you would have taken for an interview if you did not have the drop box option in the first place

Good luck

Sometimes I struggle to see the real benefit of the whole child project.

It takes a long time for the child or the parents to start reaping the benefits of being an American and a lot can happen between that time.

I don't know think it's for the parents to become us citizens.

At least not in my case. I have a fantastic job here so does my husband we don't dream about relocating

It's all about giving the child options - chance to travel the world without a visa, chance to good health care, education, an alternate live if he or she wants. In summary a world of possibilities

Hmm.....not sure thats totally correct cos it is part of my antenatal drugs and was scheduled for me to use once every month until October. I'm due early November. Unfortunately, I didn't bring it along with me to Yankee hence d reason I asked on this thread. Any particular reason u mentioned it is not supposed to be used after 36wks?? @firsttymum

You mean you have been taking fansidar monthly?

Like an antenatal routine drug

Gud day everyone.
Pls I would need ur advice. For the past few weeks now have being calling virtually all the nos of hospital n doctor's I got on this thread. But responds were poor n not encouraging.

I later got 2 hospitals. Oakbend and Doctoresparati.
Oakland ask me to pay a deposit of $600 and Doctoresparati ask me to pay $150 for registration before appointment letter can be issue to me. and all of this payment will not be refundable if am not going to use the hospital.

My fear is the distance. One is 40mins to where I will be staying n the other is 9hrs .

My host promise to drive me around if and only if my hospital is around Kathy. And as I speak , all calls I made to Kathy hospitals says they don't do childbirth.

Pls I need your help.My flight is on the 14th of this month and I still don't have a Doctor, hospital nor an Appointment letter to show at POE.

God bless you as u respond. Help a sis.

If you stay at Katy doctoresperati's is out of it for you

Oakbend is ok not too far, it's in sugar land. and the dr you chose may have an office in Katy. You will go to oakbend only when you are in labor

Methodist in Houston is also close to Katy all the best

MizOmalicha:

beautiful babies full here

mompurity, sorry to ask but are they twins......so lovely

Please mamas,since i had my ds my stomach just protrudes the moment i eat making me look pregnant , i always feel embarrassed each time people ask if i'm pregnant, don't know maybe it's cos of the multivitamin drugs i take. It's really giving me concern now,don't know what else to do o

Abeg make una no waka pass my question oo

cc onegai and other sabi mamas, help!!!!

It means your tummy hasn't firmed up its elasticity yet

Are you exercising? Try and add light weight lifting and a bit of tummy targeted exercises

Onegai:
Does it not drive you crazy you get all that free stuff yet in Nigeria, you will buy even Omo and Imperial Leather soap to carry to bathe your newborn?? I mean, we don't deserve to be called a good country. I wanted to organise a free charity care package for new mums in GHs but abeg I can't even try it.

Hmm but it's not free nah.

You'v paid for it under the 'package'. Even the most expensive hospital like Reddington and George's is still cheaper relatively

Aw rocksqueen so good to hear from you

Kisses
I know what you mean even when I'm so tired and the kids refuse to sleep or when they are pulling my hair or insisting I carry them both at the same time I just murmur a prayer of thanks to God haven been on the other side all is joy

I pray all my ttc sisters will enjoy the joys of motherhood in Jesus name

Hello mums and dads,

Happy new month to u all. Am excited cos my due date is this month- finally. Seems I ave been preggy forever lol.

My question is for this cards usuage Etc in the US. My account officer told me in Gtb that I could take out 300dollars daily to d limit of 1k per month but no show o. Could only take 100dollars daily and sometimes the money wudnt come out saying 'I have exceed my limit' even when I haven't taken any money.

Can u share u card experience pls and also what's up with the 'cash back' option?

Read somewhere I could do a cash back option in shops but I don't really understand how that goes.

Pls share ur experiences pls......just want to get money ready incase of delivery emergencies- God forbid

Thanks in advance mums and dads

You are in a different time zone. Your day / 24 hours will work according to Naija time so have that in mind

NaijaMama:
Hello Mamas and Papas, I know I should give details of my POE experience and birth. I'll do that as soon as I'm done with all the paper work.

Please I need information from Mamas who have flown AirFrance recently, particularly from Hoouston.

Someone mentioned here that emergency travel cert is no longer processed or accepted, which means the options are visa or Nigerian passport. Since I'm in Houston, I decided to process a visa but on calling AirFrance, they said baby can not fly with only a one way visa unless we buy a return ticket for both me and baby, since there's no proof that she's Nigerian.

Please has anyone had this experience and how did you resolve it? Is there any advise on how I can handle this without getting a passport and not buying a return ticket for both of us? I can't go all the way to the states with Nigerian embassies.

Your responses will really be appreciated.

This is so weird. I flew Airfrance to and fro on my second journey and used a visa nobody even mentioned return ticket

LadyGuinivere:

Wow
@all, close your eyes let's say a special prayer for those embarking on missionary journey with this crazy dollar value

May God provide!!!!
According to his riches in glory

Amen

feddy27:
You have a good quote there. I paid 550+ for in hospital only

Very good quote o

mumzt:
no, I didn't pay extra. But didn't get a refund for spending just a day.

If I'm not wrong there is no 'one day package' so I doubt the fee will be cheaper or anyone can get a refund
even if you get to the hospital and put to bed in an hour and leave immediately that will fall under the two day package

Same thing If a c section mom spends only two days don't think she will get a refund

Re: hearing test
They just make you sign a waiver that you refused but after I read about a mama here who's baby failed the hearing test hmm.... Was a bit worried but my kids are so sensitive to noise so that quickly dispelled my worry the two times

I like this idea of shouting chai close to the baby

Firsttymum are you using dr E this time?

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.

Pls see my post above
Congrats on your baby
