Wow cherrymum

The Lord is your strength

Blessedtwins don't have much to say just to give you a big hug.

It's well with you and your daughter and you are covered with the blood of Jesus.

Pls reach out to siblings or church members and stay safe. Your daughter and her safety and well being should come first in any decision you make

Big hug again

Mamas I feel so bloated dis nyt i cant even eat cos I feel soo full...d last thing I tuk today was oranges ard 5pm. So uncomfortable! !!!!!!!!!

Sounds more like indigestion to me than constipation. You need to quickly identify the foods that causes indigestion for you and stay off them

Did it cause heartburn or burping / belching?

Do they give epidural in Nigeria?

Yup.
Not sure if it's this thread or the other that we read most teaching hospital do? Someone said she got it at a very cheap rate in phth.
I know my hospital (reddington) does, Niss premier in Abuja does too

firsttymum:
Bs 2


She came and before I knew what was happening she was done. There after no more pain. It was a jolly good ride. Lol.

Epidural for me was the best thing after sliced bread... Took it at 4cm and was gisting, pinging and sleeping all the way

Thank God for safe delivery and showing himself strong

Congrats again

Finally gotten the chance to give my testimony, I had my twins @ MIHS a boy and a girl, birth certificate, U.S. Passport and Nigerian visa ready on time and we were back to Nigeria just few days short of one month. It's been a busy period running around with my toddler and the twins but I had to squeeze out time to say a big thank you to this forum . Please my friend needs to go too but is scared she will get denied if she applies for visa with doctores para letters, she applied in January with her husband for vacation and they were denied. She is wondering if to apply with her husband and mother now or just her mother. I told her about this forum and she pleaded that I plead with you guys to advice her. Thanks

congrats on the twins....

for your friend, encourage her to read up....to avoid another denial

Yay!!!! Congrats yay!!!

QueenWest:
Please I'm undecided about getting a baby crib from Houston and shipping to Nigeria. Kindly share your thoughts. Those that bought from the US, was it worth it and what shops can one get a good deal from if I decide to get one here.

Have you checked the weight and how much it will cost you to ship?

You can them log on to jumia or konga and compare in Naira what obtains here at home

In my opinion shipping something as heavy as a crib makes sense if u are buying a car and u put inside. Diapers, baby lotion and one year plus worth of cloth may. Be a better use of that cash. My opinion

@shanaka29..... Hmm. Guess you traveled with Esta..... Glad they let you in. Rest well o! And safe delivery

Chai Nerf & Modath

the holyspirit has finally arrested your souls

thanks for sharing, you may just be saving a soul

ibiba:
I have the ESTA already... that's why I'm wondering if I still need to notify the US embassy. But no wahala. I go still notify them if need be. I'm also enquiring about the cheapest hospital... pls someone help... I even had a nightmare about the bills sef... lol... seriously it's very annoying. I just dey consider say one day this pikin fit be president of USA. That's my only motivation... lol... otherwise na NHS get me straight....

read back, someone on ESTA was deported on this thread (or someone's husband)...arm yourself properly as your own interview will be at POE

good luck

Happy Sunday mamas. Old timer here although not a regular poster.

Please does any have any experience with this? I was diagnosed with pcos as I had long cycles going to about 6 months without a period. Recently I took Fertilaid and metformin for a month and got a very light period not enough to wear a pad, only observe when I wipe, sometimes stains my pant and lasts for 3 days.
It has been coming regularly for 3 months now, every 28 days.
Any input on the cause and how I can improve the flow?

@legendsmother
@ mumihaja
@favoredgal

Mamas please your input.

Thank God for your victory @ Legendsmother.

Baby dust everyone.

I don't think u are supposed to com one metformin with fertilaid o!

Why not see your doctor?

moonert:
thanks sweerie, I appreciate, am in Abuja where can do the 3d scan?

Na.... #lagosbabe

ozycy:
.
OK am still wondering how pple with Naija passport and American passport do the stamping in and stamping out stuff with immigration. Which ppt do you present or does immigration stamp when you are leaving. Enlighten me.

When you are leaving and entering Naija you present the Naija passport

When you are entering the us or any other country that American citizens are exempted from visa you use the American Pali

moonert:
Happy Sunday my people.
I had a scan done at 20 weeks n they said it's a girl. Went for another scan at 23weeks and d sonographer said it's a boy. when can I get a more accurate result? I want to start shopping very soon.

Most likely the 23rd week is correct. At 20weeks mayb the male organ wasn't so developed that's why the sonographer thought it was a girl

But get a third scan preferably 3d to confirm

Happy birthday Lovinam may God almighty grant you your heart desires as you begin this new year of your life, testimonies and rejoicing is your portion all the way

Congrats in advance to firstymum and everyother person who is in the labor room at the moment

lailo, pls encourage your wife. I'm sure she can't wait to offload. Induction isn't bad, the koko is mum and baby are alive and that will be your testimony in Jesus name

Meanwhile Iv pm'd you o! Pls share let's know if we are changing direction, although ticket has been bought

cinakin:
thank you so much Lady G and shawlar, the problem i had has been rectified, but i wanna ask a few questions please for clarification.
in the ds 160 form where they said contact person in the us" should it be my host or the docotor's?
and the organziation name in the us,should it be my host place of work or the hospital's name?
the contact address should it be my host or hospital?
and relationship as well??
i saw phema's post of something like that but its not similar.
quite confused and stuck.

It can't be ur hosts place of work. Or are they the ones that invited u?

cinakin:
hello experts in the house, please what should i write in the explain why i was rejected a visa question? should i write what was given to me in the white or blue paper(been rejected twice) or explain that i wasnt married then, but now i have a husband and family here. also the sponsor part,there is no option for co sponsor?should i put self or hubby? the money for the expenses is in my account, but hubby transfered some to me. although i am gonna print both our statements. please help a sister in dire need of clarifications. my appointment is nextweek please. been readng part 1 and 2 but havent seen those parts yet, and i frankly dont have enough time,wish i found here early.

This is an opportunity to explain ur case and put urself in a good standing before u meet the vo

Yes u don't know exactly why u were denied but u have idea. Use the space to tell the vo what has changed in ur circumstances btw then and now

For example my husband had been denied twice and I assumed it's because he had an immigration case pending even tho they dint tell him. When we got married and I filled his form I used that space to explain why he isn't a flight risk, married, good job, earns x amount etc, for the first time ever during his interview his pending immigration status did not even come up and he got the visa

So for people that have been denied before that is the most important part of the form in my opinion

ozycy:
It's written on their website. My friend paid $75 cos of excess weight cos she packed 23kg for her baby instead of 10kg.

Iv seen it. Thanks for mentioning it

customised87:
I dont share that sentiment though. I flew BA with my baby in March and i was made o pay 200$ for my 3rd 23kg bag which i felt should be baby's luggage. I called BA severally before my travel date and i was told over the phone that my baby is entitled to a 23kg bag,a stroller and a car seat, only for me to get to the airport and they said thats a misinformation. I even asked at BA desk in Heathrow and they said baby ain't entitled to any luggage. The thing pain me ehn,i swore never to fly BA again for misinforming me.

Was ur final stop london or Nigeria?

I ask because it's not every country that is entitled to two bags.... A lot of countries are entitled to only one bag. So maybe the second bag was for the baby

Otherwise it's on their website/ on the ticket. You should'v have opened their website and show them. Or written customer service and pursued till U got a refund

shrekandfiona:
But they check in strollers, car seats etc free for babies

Ba checked in those other stuff for free plus my overweight bags

Dem no try jare.

Dentale:
@Oyibo Pele o. Hope the pain resolves soon.

On another note, this thing with Lufthansa na wa. I love that airline so much but I won't get a fit to fly from my Doctor quoting a different gestational age and me I want to leave at 36weeks. My other option is AirFrance for now since theyre the only other airline that leaves from PH. Can anyone who has used them advise how the experience was? My last experience with Lufthansa was awesome. The moment the cabin crew sighted my big belly, it was pampering all the way until we landed. Lol
Coming back was even better. They were even helping me carry baby sometimes while on board. I would miss that experience.

It's only delta that will carry at more than 36 wks

shrekandfiona:
Very true. My baby's check in was over 20kg, had to pay 75$ for extra luggage. They said 10kg was their max for babies

Hmm. Na One chance be this!

Thanks

ozycy:
My dear, na wetin I see o, other airline is 23kg sef. I rmber checking in 23kg for my baby d last tym for Lufthansa

Na wa o! Did u confirm at the airport tho?

I'm flying air France back
