Happy new year to everyone!!!!

I'm currently 21 week pregnant and i'm thinking of giving birth in Chicago. This is my first child and I'm really confused on what are the steps to follow.
1) is it better to apply for a B1/B2 visa or to travel with the waiver programme?
2) what do I have to say at the poe? Should i tell them i want to give birth?
3) does the waiver programme gives you the same privilages and rights of the visa?
4) what are the cheapest hospitals/birthing centers in chicago?
5) how long does it take to get all the baby documents?

thank you all in advance

Waiver? You have to explain what waiver.

4 & 5. You av to read through o. I think some pages in this part can answer Chicago question.

So I can't use my card online..... because of This limit issue.
I guess this month I shld b able.
Pls I need to order medela breast pump adapter so that someone can bring for me.... Mbok

Dear NL, is it possible to book Delta online. I tried doing that but says I can't because of my location (nigeria). And they don't have an office here in rivers state. Please let me know if am doing the wrong thing, I want to search for the farest price possible.

cutelass:
All these harshness discourage people from posting their visa transcripts and people like Chizeez02 and I who are yet to go for interview need to read them. I understand everyone can't be as detailed as KDK.

Pls as a fallout of kemmytino's post, I need help from guru's in the house. For the purposes of visa interview, what's d difference btw doctors correspondence and doctor's appointment letter. I already contacted a doctor and his assistant has mailed me his bills. Will that suffice? Cos I understand doctors appt as a mail saying i'm to meet the doctor in d US on so and so date. Pls someone kindly clear my confusion.

it's not about details... When u see some "posing" transcript from a distance you'll know.
We've seen it all on this thread.

To your question
Just as it states
Correspondence is the email communication between you and the dr
Appointment is when u have a date already fixed to see the dr.

A Dr's quote is not as convincing as a correspondence, because anyone can get a quote. It also shows how serious you are.

You gerrit?

All these "monitoring spirits" you guys won't post anything

Anyway I don't have Dr E's email. Abeg leave my pm alone. I won't reply any pm asking for her email or full names.

U people like to b fed... Mscheew imagine after all explanation u r still asking for email

If u have gone through the thread you wldnt even ask what her full name is.

I know how their stuff works cos I asked a lot of questions during my stay/experience there.... Doesn't necessarily mean I must have d email. I didn't use her correspondence...
Mbok I even said it here...

MONITORING SPIRITS LEAVE MY PM ALONE.

For NICS if u give birth to a big baby you will incur extra charges... As they will run test on d baby and do some extra monitoring

Ozycy remember my ish I was talking to you about na.

It will take speaking plenty English and involving some peeps for before dey will bring it down. And d difference isn't even impressive.

akelvin:
Is not only u oo infact is after delivery I started craving yam seriously

Chai.... See my partner...

teefex:
Thanks @ firsttymum, Got it already, her full name and phone number was sent by @akelvin but the office is currently closed. Please does anyone have her email

let me explain how it works.
When d office is closed especially for holidays, calls and emails ain't replied or returned. It's not her personal email. It's an official email that her secretary responds to.

U gerrit?
So u wait, after the holidays, u can call.
So it's not by posting emails.

mulberry:
Yes I ve actually done DAT and have d number but didn't c any email. I felt I could get an email since we have moms who had already used her services. Babe to call is frustrating sometimes. I had d experience wit my first baby and dis pregnancy is not having mercy on me at all. But will call sha and hope I get a speedy response. I'm renewing via drop box this Jan and want to b prepared in case I'm called for interview.

the call is faster... And if by the stipulated time u don't get what u want, u call again.
Awwwww.... You'll b fine love. The response is usually speedy.

Is it only me that has post delivery cravings?

Teefex
The pediatrician (Dr R) she posted is for post delivery routine visit... So contacting her now is pointless. You contact her after u have been discharged.

The hospital has its pediatrician for while u r in d Hospital.

I agree Some emails/numbers are not readily available.
But like I always say Google is ur friend.

Try googling the name and you will b shocked on the amount info you can get.

Make an attempt Google the names....

teefex:
Thank you so much for the info,pls I still need Dr E contact cos I need letter of correspondence for POE. Just checked Dr R she is also a paediatrician will contact her. Pls can I send you a PM if u don't mind for dr E's contact . Thanks

mulberry:
Thanks akelvin. Pls can I get the contact details from you? I sent u a pm if u don't mind or I can give my email or u can post here. Thanks a lot.

But her number is on Google...
Type her full name on Google and you will get the number.
Her ever efficient receptionist will pick up and do all u want.

Aleesha0815:
Wow....this sounds really cool....Will Google it nd c how it looks....Hope I will be able to get this in Naija......thanks a lot.

yes u will. I think it's the same as d one u r describing

Aleesha0815:
@missmalachi....how u doing ma'am.....Nd how's d holiday....Pls I have a question to ask u regarding d graco baby cot u posted sometimes ago....how durable is it ...Nd how soon will baby outgrown it....any challenges so far....sorry for my plenty kwesions o...trying to c if I can get d 2in1 type for my babies.....I love it's portability...it won't really take space in d room...or can any one suggest a good crib for twins....how do I go about it!!!!
cc @goldmine, @sayoberry...

I use graco travel lite with stages.
It's durable.
We have a wooden cot at home tho.. But I had to buy this and b using before I entered naija.... Since I wanted him to get use to sleeping on his own bed from birth ....And honestly it's been wonderful. I put the baby anywhere in d house especially when I want breeze. I'm not in phc yet... I'm in lag and it's been superb. It's just easy to move around...
And because it's with stages u can use for a while. No challenges so far.
At night I put net over it and it's sleep till morning.
The bed sheets for it is scarce because it's not a regular cot. The flannels I bought is what I use as bedsheet... Beautiful and it fits.

vcole:
you mentioned a doctor off the top of your head? so what correspondence did you give? cos the rules clearly state that you should have contacted a doctor who is ready to accept medical responsibility. Hospital correspondence only shows their fees and policy. You are the one giving summarized stories (maybe phony too). To come here asking for Atl doctors when that has been flogged and beaten to death and even buried in the other parts just seems phony. I am very sure that your "correspondence" clearly states that they are exclusive of physician fees.
VO advised you to book a doctor's appointment? #miraculousvisathings LWKMD!!!!
Plus you have been a registered nairalander since 2007 with interests in other random albeit male-seeming kinda posts - building and recruitment. and since 2007, all of a sudden you post on dec 29th, 2015 asking about Atl docs. maybe i have watched too much fiction sha.

I'm in my "chill" mode kikikikikikikikiki
When I see some posts I just wonder if some of these posters think we r dummies.

vcole:
taaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!! who is this person? are you a learner?? firstymum and favoredgal are coming for you! you applied for a b2 visa without any form of doctor's correspondence? make we hear word. mtscheeewwwwwwwwwww

I'm so loving you right now.

Congratulations dear, may God bless your LO. Please is Dr E at oakbend hospital, her fee seems cheaper and that of the paediatrician. Please can you help with her contact? Thanks

dr E isn't a pediatrician

Chizee02:
Please my dear experienced mums and dads, I need ur advice on the exchange rate to use for my budget sheet. Used 250 naira to $1 and it summed to approximately 3M . @ KDK used 200 for his wife's recent interview, thinking of doing that but I want to be on a safe side that's why am asking. Please ur candid opinion will be appreciated. HAPPY NEW YEAR IN ADVANCE

u can use 200. After all pta rate is 199

mulberry:
Good morning all. @Firstymum, did u get a letter from Dr E for POE purpose. Please I plan on using her and due in may. Can u send me her contact details pls email is luv2val@yahoo.com. thanks

nope I didn't use Dr E

Kingsmum:
Thanks Firstty for the response. Interestingly while there I requested to make payment for the epidural (i had read ur post) and the nurses got someone from accounts/admin who said I can't pay there, no one would take cash from me.

Is there a specific person I can ask for at the hospital to be able to make the payment. Thanks

tell them you wanna see the epidural peeps.
Mayb d nurses on duty didn't know.
Dr E told them to call them to come take their money

missmalachi:
My dear fine ooooo the Christmas holiday is so keeping me busy.

zaynie:
Moonert, I guess the other mamas have said it all. Green veggies, nuts, soyabeans and your blood tonics.

We r doing good dear.
