feddy27:

Another option is to put off ur location. Then use a WiFi. I noticed difference in flight price doin that.

Hello mamas,

Please i need urgent help on this. Dr F practically told me to get my refund from oakbend that he's moving all his patients to Methodist. He said i sud collect my money and keep till delivery that the srlf delivery price is still valid as long as i am still in the hospital.

With dollar wahala i dont want additional/unknown bills cos i saw a lady who just put to bed and she was complaining of the services and bills she got.

Please help me out as i am a FTM.

Thank u.

u can get ur refund... It might not b immediate but u can. So write Alice so she start processing ur refund asap

feddy27:
Hellooooooo!!! Read thru her post, you will see the doctor she used. Put his name in the search bar and get the info you need! No one has that time to send you an email.

You didn't share visa transcript, nothing with us yet you need all the info! That's not the way dear

why can't we like a post more than once

It's now like spoon feeder vs spoon fed vs spoon feeding seeker kikikikikikikikiki.

similoluwa1:
Madam or oga feddy27

i have read through her post before asking these questions,

i have even called the hospital always going to voice mail

if you read her post well as you suggested she didnt mention the full name of the doctor so how do we google him out.

"Used st Francis medical center and dr. Mb---u."

I understand she might not want to make the doctors name public, that is why we sent her our email address to help us out.

we are all looking for a cheaper way out as we all know the condition of dollars in naija.

so we are sorry for all the questions.

pardon us.

if u r following the thread you wld know who Dr M is. [quote author=Ulo01 post=47044378][/quote]Hmmmm St Francis... Dr M Haba mana the name shld just click.

Check page 229 of part3 I hope this helps

TripleKMama:

AdomMum:

maybe u try on Saturday. But pls find out if they truly don't work on Sunday... These airlines e dey their body.

najalady86:
Hi beautiful people,
Got a lot of PMs regarding my last post and replying all will be kinda tasking as most people are asking similar question.
Hope I can share the details here?
for the hospital and Dr., i have already shared it in the past. It's St. Francis hospital and Dr. M
The 2700 you pay hospital covers all services recieved in the hospital including hearing test. You also get a complementary toddler stroller.
Circumcision was ok but they left a little bit more fore skin than our naija Doctors would normally leave. My baby's Dr. back home here says its ok though.

For the accomodation, it's actually a big 3 bedroom flat that comes with swimming pool and gym. It goes for 3000 per month. Three, two or even four people can combine and take it as the living room is equally big. It's available from 1st July. Pls if you are interested, get people to share with and reach out to me asap. I am only assiting as I know this our forex regime is not smilling at all.

Regards

I pray people take it so we can keep passing to "class mates" lol... Before it gets to my turn Incase I'm using same Hospital

I'm recommending a hot food safe spoon while we shop for our babies... Yer Yer for those who will say it's not for this thread. Most people have looked for it in naija and can't find. So I said lemme share here make una buy.

So I bought this nuby spoon for my baby during my last missionary journey. People call it magic spoon. When I'm feeding my baby it fascinates people... When d food is too hot it turns white when's it's warm but not good enough for his mouth is turns pale ( depends on d colour of d spoon) and so on. So I recommend it especially for workaholics or shld I say busy mums and or hygiene freaks like me ( covers face) At least the helper knows the spoon shldnt change color too much before putting that food in d baby's mouth.

I'm a hygiene freak. I don't support the Househelp putting d food in her mouth before giving my baby or any of those disgusting things. I personally and even my hubby can't chew and give our baby... It disgusts me ( most of us put our mouth down there during daddy and mummy tingy) the thing just irritates me jare.

bigfido:
LOOOOOOL! i really don't know why this came across as a comedy show to me.. "Authoritatizely ignorant" like one of my lecturer's will call it.

please be sure of the advice you give to people before you drop the mic with swagga! it is never illegal to carry over 10k.. just declare it on your landing card.
safe

chizimuzo1986:
Good morning house. Pls i need ur advice. I applied for bi/b2 visa for a conference in January dis year but was refused. I applied alone den but dis time i applied with my wife who is 28 weeks pregnant. I will be going with her for vacation/giving birth. Have around 10 million in my account. My wife got a job with UBA last year. Pls my interview os on 14th july. Pls tell me all i need to do to make d visa application a success

check page 105 of part 1 to organize ur document. Then read through the thread for people's transcripts.... that'll give you an idea

Kemo88:
Got mine from my doctor but there must be a stamp. You must get it not more than 14days before your travel. You may need to print the fit to fly certificate (from the website) for your doctor to fill and stamp as well

Kemo88:
No... 14days maximum before your travel

NO NA
LET'S GIVE INFORMATION WE ARE SURE OF.

FIT TO FLY IS 72 HRS MAXIMUM. CC @ijeomaobi1 @maggie0133

Some airlines even insist it's same day sef.

TripleKMama:
Maybe u didn't explain well o. Its easier to say tickets are cheapest on Tuesdays by 3pm. But I don't know how u can determine everyone's 6wks to travel time.
D'u see my point?

Pls throw more light cos me too sef want cheap tickets!!

it's a general rule that It's cheaper to book ur ticket 6 weeks before u travel. So now they are saying on a Tuesday by 3pm That when it's best to look for such tickets. moreso Flying on a Monday is cheaper than the rest of the week to.

Yeepee congratulations mulberry

MommaT:
Please how did you get US passport in 48 hours o, where did you apply? Did they ask you to pay for express delivery asides the $65 expedited fee?

US passport is less that sef if u apply before 12 noon of that day

mismarshal:
Wow... Thank you.

Uw darling

TripleKMama:
hahaha...so how will the 6 weeks apply to everyone?
I could agree to the Tuesday 3pm one but not 6 weeks before my flight. Lwkmd!

Seriously? U agree to Tuesday 3pm, but How will 6 weeks apply to everyone? Really? This is a question?
Last year I used this method and I got cheap tickets. And I even got for people here too. If it works for u fine. If it doesn't fine.
Mbok

Ajujuju2 Awww congratulations

mismarshal:
Please mama what is Oakbend's nicu calculation like.

it's not a day per 24 hrs o. It's calendar days... If u like give birth 11:56pm 10th for example they calculate as a day.

Ulo01

Ajujuju2:
I highlighted what i think could have been better answered.

Nexttime put birth first...she may not have heard you and may think that you r being dodgy.

Your working for just a yr and half maks it look like you dnt hv strong ties. Nextime probably included whatever experience years ypu hav gained weda as staff or as employer.

Lastly your hubbys business is probably better stated as "owns and runs an export business" not sure "self employed" carries weight.

But in d end there is no right or wrong answer. Visa issuance is at VO discretion.

Hello mamas in the house. My missionary journey is over. All glory to God.back to naija after
  10 wks.came into Houston on the 13th of April with emirate. Flight was long on my way to Houston 16hrs..... but thank God the flight was empty so I stretched out well. POE was uneventful. Gave birth  at Houston methodist and my Dr was Dr Dama aka Dr Z. Was already 8cm by the time I got  the hospital but when it was time to push,ha I no get strength again but God saw me thru.meanwhile the cord was around the baby's neck so with each contraction the heart beat reduced. Thank God I put to bed within 40mins of getting to the hospital..
Houston Methodist is top notch. Services are better than oakbend. The price difference is $35. However a compulsory epidural fee $1500 is paid which is refunded if not used. No additional charges becos I didn't use their pediatrician.got a visiting one which I paid $150.
Got my zero balance from all the different docs involved. 
Flew emirate back n my whole 5 luggages  was checked in. No extra payment becos I Don dey sweat for the extra money wey I go pay....
Layover was 15hrs but the hotel reservation was gd.no regrets with emirate. Baby's ticket was 10% of mine so it was $77 and i changed my date which cost like $50...
Thank God for everything. 
Dr fee. 2600 with a further 20% discount 
Ultrasound $150
Test $270
Hospital.  2535
Pediatrician $150
Hope clinic hospital for baby's 1st visit + test. $100
Passport $165
Nigerian visa $360.. Used an agent

Good to be back home. ...
Wishing all d preggies safe delivery......
