elitebook: Hi Favouredgal, hope you're doing good? Have you heard from the embassy yet? My visa expires in December before I travel and I'm wondering whether to attend an interview or apply for Medical treatment visa via drop box. I was hoping to avoid travelling to LAG or ABV but with this your experience, it appears to be the best option now. Any advice please?
I wanted to use Baptist Hospital in Miami but the rates they quoted is not for small children. Still checking other options in Miami or Orlando. I will share once I get a good deal. Accommodation is very expensive in FL during winter and i'm a winter mama, again. i haven't yet o! a friend told me they held on to her passport for a month before they issued. maybe they are doing some investigations so my advice will be apply now so you have enough time. that's a mistake i made, waiting for my visa to expire first |

ilesanmioo: Good morning all, pls I need an emergency advise, although I av called a lot of doctors too, but just to seek more opinion. My cousin lost her first pregnancy at 24wEeks due to premature rupture of membrane. Now she's pregnant and 13weeks, she felt a big discharge so she immediately rushed to d hospital cos she recognised that's its cervical plug, so d doctors did an emergency scan, and discovered her cervix is opened by 0.5cm, and d baby is intact, d inner cervix plug is also intact. The doctor asked her to go home and be on bed rest but she insisted she will stay back in d hospital. Another gynae checked her this morning and said "he thinks she might need a cerlage", but she was treated for uti 2weeks ago. She's been crying all morning, cos her own gynae said he wants a "wait and see approach". Pls what do u guys feel¤ Why is she crying when she can google cerlage with uti? I just did and read up on people with similar experience, the doctor needs to test to see if the uti is gone then get the cerlage installed. Lots of people with similar experience are sharing on the internet 2. She can also get a second opinion 3. She can be praying Pls tell her to weep no more and try options 1-3 |

algfred: @first. Virginal birth after prev. CS for 1st child. thats what madam asked for but dey bluntly insisted on CS., saying dey can't risk doing that from their own experience.
the infection story till now is still amazing to me, well read about it that could be as a result of mother eating some wrong fruit. could also be as a result of streptococci abi na wetin dem call am. see medicine confuses me most times. our argument even from her aunt who is a nurse was that this antibiotics could be administered orally to baby at home and monitored. but see this guys are just after the money they never stopped mentioning Medicaid which I also didn't stop saying no to. its a tough experience in so short a time. Sorry bout your ordeal. Pls ask and insist on a discount and a flexible payment plan. Your discount can be more than 50% doesn't matter. Also ensure you collect zero balance for the once you have paid on full so far that is for the mum and hospital. It will come in very handy Big hug P.s dint they test her for gbs in the third trimester? I remember I tested positive so they administered anti bacteria to me during labor to prevent the child from getting infected. It is well |

soonest: Induction is not an alternative for CS. Find out the reason your Dr wants an elective CS for you. Do you have a previous scar? Did they do pelvimetry and assessed your pelvis inadequate? What's the lie of your baby? If it's just the weight, people birth 3.8kg every now and then. Engage your Dr in questions so that you can make an informed decision. Cheers seconded,my friend birthed 5kg vaginally, although they had to use a vaccum to extract. if i remember correctly byvan also had 4.5kg or even 5 the lord is your strength |

I was surprised that day sha. thanks for the encouraging words, I appreciate.

lamdec: Hello all mamas in the house, how are we doing. I know we have all gone through child birth experiences so I know we can relate to what I am to say. Since I had my baby, I have been feeling some how, I don't know if it's depressed or irritating and my challenge is this. I was naked a lot during my child birth process and a lot of people inserted their hands inside me in the name of checking my cervix. I cringe any time I remember this even as I am typing I am barely holding it together, it's not been easy for me. After some days I had my baby, I had to go back to the hospital cos I was bleeding profusely, by the way I had a c-section, so I had another dose of being touched and different things been inserted down there to help remove blood clots. The thing now is I haven't been over this incidences, I feel highly uncomfortable in my own skin, I can't stand being naked, I can't stand not wearing pants, I feel so vulnerable. As much as I understand that all they did was to safe my life, I just don't get how I feel, I haven't even been able to talk to my husband about it. Sorry about your experience Oh well. Next time you can discuss your expectations with your Dr I was prob checked max of 3 times during labor although I don't know if you had complications or anything that led to multiple poking My advice will be focus on your baby. U have the most wonderful gift from God....a lot of women went thru more in the labor room and have nothing to show for it Also thank God u never TTC. Cuz that one na better evasion of privacy. Do u know what transvaginal scan is? Imagine doing that 7 times a month just to track ovulation and at the end of it all nothing Or even hsg. U will open vagina Yakata for at least two men during the process. The Dr and the sonographer while they insert a stick like object into your vagina to test if dye passes thru your tubes What of ivf where your eggs are havested. Or having your boobs pressed by your Dr to know if you are lactating cuz that prevents ovulation and hinders conception I can go on and on not to belittle the way you feel but just to let you know you have a lot to be grateful for Welcome to motherhood love...count it all joy |

My question can I reapply immediately as am due in last wk Dec n can't wait 4 90days Even if you have gone with the agents you dint have to tell the vo that. That's a big No No If you've read the thread like you said you would have known that. Which is why they started denying elpaso people. No need crying over split milk. And you can apply asap.
