@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.
now I gerrit. The choice of IV was the best thing o. Neonatal sepsis from whatever form ( might be mild or serious) is best treated with iv jare.

Like I said earlier get ur negotiating game up and tight...

I wish u all the best.

Once again negotiate and then give them ur own time frame.

@nasadiva,

@ozycy & @firsttymum.

Chase bank ATM doesn't charge Stanbic & GT cards an extra cent... To do two transactions in a day (while in the US) without loitering at the ATM or making a repeat journey,, one just waits till it's 11:55 naija time, do one, chill for 5 mins for it to turn past 12, do another, give it a 24hrs break then return...


Seems I'm the only one that enjoyed stanbic's 199.5 & 207.. tongue...
ok thanks darling
algfred:
what is your advise? NL.
OK am back again after a few months and some of use know my story if you have been on this tread for a while, madam used MMC just like ewa2014. and baby was born sept.18. 2015. madam tried hospital to accept VACS.but it was a no no. at last baby was big so we had to result to CS. when baby came out wihout our consents baby was taken to NICU. explanation was that baby crp abi wetin dem call am was fluctuating so his body was fighting bacteria infection. rather than give him oral so mother and baby can go home after 4days. dey placed him on I.V and insisted that baby must complete his 8days dose b4 his discharged. so many ugly incident happen like hospital asking for $350 b4 baby can be given the circumsit. we refused and so will have to do it naija style on their return. now baby now home with mother and well.
now the challenge- MMC is asking me to pay $13600. for cost of baby being in NICU. since I don't want Medicaid. and saying I have to pay it complete payment within 6month if not it will attract charges. us this true about Medicaid? and what payment plan can you advise as I will be speaking with them by Monday 5th. Oct. when I will be depositing some money as down payment for the NICU. please help advise am really disturbed with this development. (we have payed all other outstanding hospital charges. $(8k + 1.2k +1.1k). mamas and papas I didn't see NICU coming. very sad. but life is most. shld I insists on 1 or 2 year plan? what's my right on this please help.
I don't even know what say... I don't understand some part of what u typed.
Like what is that ur wife insisted on VBAC.? And what did d Dr's say if she did?
How did d baby get infected?
I'm sorry I'm a little lost.

And then can u negotiate the bill.? And make them give you a discount?
Plus they shld b able to extend the payment duration.


So sorry for all this dear.... It is well

Saao:
Good morning mamas and sisters, several months ago, I ask for an assistant on how to treat candidas, so many of u assisted, in fact one took her time to send me the complete natural treatment to my mail, I appreciate all of u. Now my wife is abt 6 weeks pregnant to the glory of the lord.
We still need ur advise, this is our first baby, few days back she was still feeling some itching in her private part, though she has gone for test but I need ur experience advice on how to handle it as she said it maybe effect of it Candida's or is it normal in pregnancy? And any other suggestions. Thank in advance
if it's candida, clotrimazole cream shld b her friend. Let her avoid trousers and tights for now.... Only skirt and dresses. Den let her change her underwear... Buy her cotton pants. Wash properly and hang it under d sun... If possible iron d seat of the pant before wearing. Once she back from work... Let her open Her legs facing the fan. And u too treat urself so u don't reinfect her (diflucan is perfect)
Let air get to her vagina as often as possible. Plus the other basic things I'm sure or assume u know

Congrats @Saao wish you a happy bumping! Tell dw to register for ante natal they will be in a better position to advice her on what to do about the Candida.

If pee full my bladder and I don't wee on time e go be like say make I use wheelbarrow carry my belle enter bathroom embarassed (i think my baby done engage) coz the weight on my lower abdomen is so much. cry

Thanks dear. Still wondering why naija scan kept saying baby girl.
For BOA account, ask them for SAFE BALANCE ACCOUNT. I ve had mine for years now and never had issues with minimum balance or monthly charge.
the penis might have been hiding. Or it was too huge to believe it's a penis.... Hahhahahahhaaha don't mind me..mayb it was hiding or mayb u checked too early. Same thing happened to my SIL

Ok thanks alot...

you usually pay $500 for doctor Glenn as deposit before they send you their acceptance letter. they will later deduct it from your final balance as it is part of the doctor's fee you are supposed to pay. I am wondering why theirs no much talk about northwest houston medical center. The quotation from them is very fair from my calculation. Congrats firstymum and everyother person with great POE stories.

I was charged a total of #915 for using my access bank visa card on BOA ATM. I had to email excess bank and they said the extra $3 is "acquirer fee". I shaa know the Atm asked me to accept $3 charge before I could withdraw wch I accepted. Anyway, ain't using the card again as I was only testing the card for the first tym

Firstly, the cash/self payment package in the hospital doesn't necessarily mean paying in hard cash. I think its better termed upfront payment. U can also use ur card, swipe and use d debit option or count out the cash; Whichever way, as long as the hospital gets paid immediately.

I think most people open bank accts in order to avoid keeping or carrying around so much cash. Its also easier to use for online shopping et al - than 1 naija bank saying I can't spend more than $300 or so. My wife travelled with over 8k and I got her to open the BOA acct but when I hear say the minimum bal. na $1500, fear grip me... shocked shocked. plus if ur bal goes less than that in a month, u get charged around $7. They also opened a savings acct for her too. Anyways, I'm going to go into the bank on mon to talk to them cos my sis (who has had an acct for over 3yrs) doesn't abide by the min bal thingy and she doesn't get the monthly charge either

I'm not sure oh, but I don't know of any individual that funds their amelica acct by swift transfer from naija.. I'm sure the bank charges r ridiculous (as usual). Most peeps jst bring in d cash and deposit it
Oya na... On Monday when u go Abeg update us.
