I'm sorry but I'm not about to engage in a rather unnecessary back and forth. I believe in self respect and respecting others whether I agree with them or not, and whether I'm engaging them in person or virtually. There's some kind of nastiness that's totally uncalled for. Anyhow, to each his own.

Thanks for ur quick responses

lilyfranklin:
Hello house, pls does anyone know of any VBAC doctors in El Paso? Urgently need to change my doctor as I realised I was booked for CS, due to having my first baby through CS. Help plsssssss, will be travelling soon.

beautyx5:
@intending Elpaso peeps, please feel free to explore Ramada or other accommodation. Intown was cheap but the service provided could have been better.

The Internet continued to be crappy till I left. When i day crappy, i mean it is like Internet in Nigeria in 2009. So Yea, our current naija Internet is lightyears better than it (you can't stream common YouTube. .... it is that bad.) and security wise, they leave something to be desired. The only plus side is the support you get because there are alot of Mommas.



My dear,this information is just right on time.thank you.


For those at intown, when you have your baby, ask them at the reception if you have a letter from the time you get home because of the SSN. The reception had the funny habit of calling when you have a package or parcel but they won't call when you have a letter and the SSN comes in the form of a letter. It usually arrives in the first week.

Hope this helps someone. Cheers!

uchetobi:
Can't remember exactly.... Check my old posts.... I gave a detailed breakdown of the costs. I know the hospital was 2,150 and epidural was 850. Thats all I can remember

He obviously missed road

But his reason for posting here is not farfetched na, as I read on front page some days ago about a pregnant woman who still wears butt pad Shakara must not end cos we dey carry belle.

I for patronize the guy, but as I dey now shishi no fit leave my account for frivolities. El paso money must complete by fire by force

@kairi,Shawbabe and Chloe,thanks for the response . Abeg I am looking at gradys hospital, gwinett and Northside Atlanta. But with the posts I Av seen on d outrageous bills from gwinett, I Av narrowed my search to gradys and Northside Atlanta if ill be staying in Atlanta. Abeg help with a cost estimate and what ur reviews are for these hospitals ooo.
@ finechikala I dey hail ooo, I'm still trying to make up my mind on whr I'll be staying. I'll have to pay for rent if I use el Paso. Abeg help a sis ooo....dis confusion is killing me.



My dear ,the cost of the total bill is not a joke with most of these hospitals especially, if you are on a low budget like me.
The dollar exchange rate is not helping matters as well.
I think you will be arrivinging elpaso way too early except if have other considerations.

whatever your decisions are pls let me know.

God will help us in making the right choice .

Meanwhile, I'm yet to get a response on d passport photo. Is it normal cos all dis confusion sef dey kill me.
Thanks

Santa2:
Got an apartment, intown suites @ six flags, cost $220/ per week. There are cheaper rooms though I think $189/per week and the place is fantastic

N.B :A tip to getting apartment is to get one close to the clinic you would be doing checkup NOT close to the hospital, cos you would only go to the hospital twice, to register and deliver, the rest would be @ the clinic you select.

I agree with you on the tip you shared .
Pls what is the name of hospital/clinic you chose for check up ,because am using elpaso as well and I intend staying in intown suites as well in feb .

Pls I wont mind any suggestion you present as regard a place near a clinic for check up(s).

Thank you.

Yes they only take appointment when u are in the US. It is assumed that you are a resident so should be able to walk in to register yourself

@finechikala, For all that my word is worth, I've had NO cause to regret coming to have my baby in Elpaso. So far, so good. Hospital, doctors, baby's documentation, I've got no complaints. I'll keep it short like that so I do not cross into the suspected marketers list. However you could read up my previous posts on the thread to get a better picture of my journey so far. All the best with your plans.

JUBILEE2000:
pls what's the difference between birth centers and a conventional hospital?

1sttimemom:
hey merrymom,just joinining nairaland,am also at elpaso.where are you staying ndcan we hookup?other inntown mums too

Dammiehar:
Boston is a very expensive place. I am not sure if you can get anything within that range. Anyway, you can keep trying, but not sure. All the best.

@tvegas shebi e for better if to say na promo ticket self I buy in the first place. Hubby paid heavily for our(Mumsi n I) round trip tickets from lag to Elpaso and he even paid insurance join sef. All in all, it cost us bout 695k for the two tickets which we were told were valid for 3months. I left at 34weeks And because I didn't know how early or late baby wld come as per first time mom tins, I decided to choose a return date that wld give room for any exigencies with the mind that I wld move it forward if the need arose. Forward to last week and I go to the united website to try n reschedule the flight. Got to some point and was given an error mssg and told to contact their customer care line to be able to effect any change. Next tin I called my agent(wakanow) and he got back to me that changing my flight to 28th dec wld cost me bout 560K for mum n I cos the flights on that day were fully booked cos of the holiday season. Asked him to check xmaS day n even new yrs day, Samestory. Next I took myself to the airport in Elpaso to the united office yesterday and lo n behold they told me the same thing, rescheduling will cost me bout 2600$ Plus. All I cld do was buy my baby's ticket for the same date and return home to decide how I go spend the Xmas n new year for Elpaso o. I think it's because it's holiday season that's why. All in all nothing spoil, the moral of the story is that we shd all consider our respective timings properly when making our plans to avoid situations like this cos I'd have reaLly loved to be back home for at least the new year.

Thank you all for your advice
@ mimibe and @dakotchic

i finally got my Zero balance yesterday from gwinnett, after i mailed the management on friday, a lady from the financial department was assigned to help sort my issue out and the excess bill was withdrawn, so am cleared…
please for those that applied for niaja passport in atlanta, do you get the passport same day you go for the interview? and after paying online and buying the 30 dollars money order, do i buy a self addressed overnight delivery envelope or i also do that as money order and they sort it themselves?
