Yea, ticket has been purchased like 3wks ago. Just said lemme go tru dia pregnancy policy and I saw 28wks, I'm already 34wks

Last year, aero refused to fly me dat I ws 32wks+3days and dia policy is 32wks! Dey refunded my money there, I had to quickly beg arik and dey agreed to fly me

Go to port health .. It's before the airport let them give u their own fit to fly. They'll fly u with that

YoungMetrosG:
Consider Dana. I think they're more relaxed and the flights are on time. See this screenshot.

Consider which Dana? They r 28weeks o... OMG dey can delay and move their flight en... Mscheew...
They've disappointed I, my husband, my mum and my dad... The only consistent thing about them is disappointment ..
Feddy27
My mum's flight from phc was around 3pm or so... Guess where. She got to Lagos 11:46 pm... It was terrible.... They kept moving it.

My husband got to phc airport on time like an hour before check in. Guess what dey said the plane was full... It was like joke they were like 20 + dey gave d news to, he had to buy medview immediately... Refunded but not complete.. Dey over booked the flight... imagine.

feddy27:
Pls who has flown air peace recently? Are they preggy friendly? Just read on dia website dat dia policy for preggies is 28wks and i'm past the limit

Didn't know all this while! I don't want wat happened btw I and aero last year to happen again o!

Call airpeace to find out. I know their baggage is 25kg plus 10kg for ur child. And free ticket for ur child.

ozycy:
My sabi mamas, pls which sanitary pad is good for heavy flow. This blue and red always just dey learn work, E no dey even last reach 1hr. The bigger always I got from US is finished and I haven't sighted it in any store b4. Today is my heavy day and I get wedding to attend. Am just scared that before I go sitdown for 30mins th thing for don stain my cloth (anyways, I must wear a black dress, I can't shout.) make una answer me sharp sharp cos I dey go market now now make I buy am for there.

Cc Zaynie, Liftedhands, firsttymum, kaffy4bill. And all sabi mamas.

there's this purple always I get in supermarket.. I think it's made in uae or so.. E dey hold well well. But tampons does the trick. The bigger ones (orange and green) feels like u r walking around with a pe.nis is inside you.. So I use yellow but have extra in my bag and change it every 4 hrs or less.. If u ain't a fan of tampons... Try the purple always

Hello house, can anyone advise on the conditions for travelling with baby on arik back to nigeria. is the baby carried on lap or allowed to be carried in car seat on plane?

You are paying for lap child so ur laps remains the seat of the baby. Except u r lucky to find a free seat. If u pay for a seat then the Ehen the discussion about car seat on the plane can suffice

happytbaby:

feddy27:
Nnystc, congratulations dear and amen to ur prayers for us! We dey ur back. We shall share our own good news too

Amen Amen Amen

Nnystc:
Hello house,
Just to thank you all for the wonderful information passing through this thread. I have benefitted a great deal.

And so in the spirit of giving back in the spirit of paying it forward , here goes:

Greetings from sunny Los Angeles again!
I arrived on AirFrance today August 19th.

I was unable to get PTA after all the promises from my various account officers. I also followed the lead on First Bank, and didn't get. So my ever loving DH (my own personal blessing!) bought me 5k from the BM at 396/$
The man was always baffled why i was chasing every banker around town for cheap PTA. Even when i told him i'm trying to save him at least N300k, he said theres no such thing, and that this journey must happen... And that we should just pray for life and health and the grace to always be ahead of this Nigerian economy
I was fuming at the extra cost but thankful for the privilege of being able to afford it even at the cutthroat price.
Let's say a prayer for these great men in our lives. They give us strength and encouragement per second.

But i digress...! Back to the matter...

And we were off!

Plane was okay. Service was a bit crappy, but hey! I didnt come to live on the plane did i? Paris transit okay, journey to LAX was also uneventful.


So i told the lady that i could manage if i could be expedited on foot to the self service kiosk and to CBP.

They obliged. Finished at self service kiosk and then got expedited to front of the line for CBP

My transcript:
CBP: hello (skinny preppy and boyish looking guy of Asian descent with nerd glasses, with a stern face!. I'm like, "Dear Holy Spirit, i know say your mind dey here. Oya do your thing!)


CBP: keeps looking through the passport, drops it, picks it up again. I could sense him hesitating. Me i'm like "Dear Holy Spirit, e be like say the cellotape wey you take cover this guy mouth need reinforcement oh. Abeg nack am anoda layer.


For those who are coming behind me, (Veleta? And others) May our Almighty God who has the keys to all the countries of this world send his angels to encamp around you as you pass. You will Never be turned back but be stamped in without hassles. Smooth sailing all the way in Jesus mighty name! Amen.

even though u didn't mention my name... I say a big Amen.
#teamLA at least for now.

Honestly God bless our husband's o... amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen.

See as I dey laugh en... No b small celotape Holy Spirit use sama him mouth... Kikikikikikikikiki

My good news is loading too

Zpearlz1:
Dear all,

Trust you had a goodnight rest? I have an issue o. I am trying to apply for expedited date but what i am seeing as first available date is 29th august. My appointment with the doctor is 29th august,my edd is last week of September and i intend to travel 25th by Gods grace if visa is approved. What should i do? Are there cases where an earlier date different from what is showing as first available date were approved for applicants? Please i need responses. What should i do? Thanks

29th is in nine days time.
Why don't u take it? Seriously... I doubt there's expedited on expedited.
Also Do u realise it's not only u that want expedited?
U can always reschedule ur appointment. U r lucky u even got an expedited date just 9days. What if it was further away
Not to be a carrier of bad news what if u don't get the visa ( God forbid) the appointment plus all the plans will most definitely change.
Have an open mind about this.
Pray.
Pick that date before u even don't see it again. Mayb u can refresh in d night but I even doubt this method will work.. But u can try.
Good luck

Yer, bt it's not bacteria, it's an animal parasite. Dats y I took interest. Staph is bacteria, am clueless when it comes to those.

all these makes me admire the system. Be it bacteria fungi virus or parasite... They detected it.

Btw during my microbiology posting parasitology was my favorite... Mayb it was d lecturer.. But when I hear or see people who read it.. I kinda admire them. You are one of the people I naturally admire here... but now i admire you more.

how come trouble is so much fun. Trouble maker how you and ur baby

kikikikikikikikiki lemme o... Kikikikikikikikiki I and my baby are fine my dear

nefertitiram:
Well, I'm not a doctor, but I majored in parasitology and after reading that article, a few things jumped out at me.
Pseudomonas: harmless parasite, just like staphylococcus. It exists in our day to day life but it could be terrible for people with low immunity, eg cancer patients,hiv patients, preterm or sick (NICU) babies. For healthy babies, it won't affect them, like your baby

babies are born with temporary immunity... Breastfeeding is what gives passive immunity cos of the antibodies.
Have u ever wondered what causes Hospital acquired neonatal sepsis? It's things like that. And we don't know the strain of that bacteria. I'm sure u know some staph have some gangster strains... Kikikikikikikikiki

nefertitiram:
Not true. I got to airport in NY, I saw $565 for a tkt to chicago on AA. Went home, booked online for $300+ against 2 days time. Meanwhile I saw it for $160+ a few weeks earlier

I rest my case... Let's all do what works for us.

Okay will also try this thanks alot dear

sugah:
My dear this is not true o. The day we showed up at the airport to buy tickets to a certain destination, they asked if we were running away to get married. I had to book online for the next day, book a hotel for the layover and still had change compared to the price I was given at the counter.

kikikikikikikikiki I laughed hard. That's how my husband does it o. He just chills and buys it on d day of travel.... It's always cheaper than what we find online

@LadyGuinivere

I am sorry for bugging you. I checked the US embassy on expedited date, one of the requirements is to get a letter from my doctor in nigeria stating my medical condition and why i need to travel. But my pregnancy is not complicated. How do i go about that. What does the doctor needs to write? Please house, if anyone has requested for expedited interview date what did your doctor state in your letter. I would appreciate your responses. Thanks and God bless

Ur best bet is to search for the people who have.... And pm them.

feddy27:
Chai! I don hear am o... thanks love. let me quickly grab one.

but on the day of the trip.. It's actually cheaper

The closer it is the more expensive. But on the day it's cheaper.
