Nothing beats Fidelity's 199.5, I got my 4k there last week, will pm you.

MadameU:
Please MIHS mum's, are there test I need to do from nigeria? Thanks
alot

You may or may not, they would redo those tests anyway, but just so they have an idea you may take copies of tests, scans and a doctor's report. But most importantly your earliest scans are required.

Arisbel:
Anyway I came with all my test and scan results from the very first day I registered for antenatal to the last day I left Nigeria. I gave it to them at MIHS upon request.

Latolly:
Just go with a comprehensive report from your present hospital stating tests done and results. All the best with MIHS.

Nita2013:
Yes in MIHS u av d option of payin cash or card

Arisbel:
One bedroom: For weekly you get $209/229, for monthly rate you get $729 ($961.49 tax inclusive plus you get refunded some money when leaving if the conditions of the room you stayed at is ok). And you pay with your credit card or money order not cash. Will get info for two bedrooms and send to you later except someone on this thread can help us or check previous posts.

Ok,thanks a lot.

Nita2013:
Extended Stay includes crossland and also d one at east oak. I don't av any info on legacy suits but heard many naija mamas r there presently. It's also far from d hospital from what I heard. Y I didn't suggest it to u cos u said u r avin twins so consider d stress too from Legacy Suite.

U can use google map to find out d distance from legacy suite to d hospital using bus and usin cab. But a mama that was goin to stay there changed her mind that cab fare to and from d hospital is about $60-$70 don't kno how true it is though.

But in all consider ur twins after birth cos u ll only use cab to avoid d stress.

Nita2013:
Hello dear what's ESA?

Arisbel:
Hello Happy Mum, am currently at Legacy suites and is it a good place and I also for discount like other Nigerian Mum paying monthly. For POE, I used Delta so we my POE was Atlanta. It was stress free and will post my story later. I didn't carry food stuff cos I didn't want to stress my self carrying load. But if you have energy you can carry food stuff.



Ok,thank you so much. Please how much is one bedroom and also two bedrooms inclusive of tax and the extended stay discount @ legacy suite? It looks like a very nice place too. Thanks

@Happymum, I think Nita has answered you well. I stayed in Ocotillo and it is quite close to the hospital and airport... Monterra too is on the same road but It isn't furnished. I would advise you to do east Oak tho, its about 3 stops from Ocotillo as well but just opp some stores like burlington n Ross et al.Also, there's internet available (wifi) but in Ocotillo, you have to get yours..You will need to get kitchen utensils and maybe a tv in Ocotillo..The TV na small thing as you can get one in the goodwill store for one dollar.. Believe me, I got one bigggggg tv for a dollar.. I left it there when I was leaving.. Not sure about kitchen utensils in East oak tho..Most importantly, try and meet up with other nairalander mamas there.. They are lifesavers!

Nita2013:
If u want somewhere close to shopping center then extended. Stay east. Oak it is. It's almost adjacent to walmart, target, burlington etc so u ll just walk in. But for d big stores, it's far so u ll take a bus.

quote author=Happymum post=33494453]
Thanks for your response. I doubt the driving aspect so I may have to use public transport at least until my husband arrives. Somewhere closer to shopping centers and restaurants is what I have in mind since I won't be going to the hospital daily but will love to always be able to do window shopping and occasionally real shopping.
Thanks

Hello Happymum, u can try Extended Stay east oak, Ocotillo apartments or Monterra. They r very close to d hospital and affordable. But for Ocotillo u av to rent some things eg TV et all. Monterra to d best of my knowledge is not furnished too but Extended stay eaast oak has got everything just like crossland.m crossland is a bit far from d hospital (I stayed in crossland) it's about 1hr from d hospital by bus but 15mins by cab but trust us naija women (we were up to 15 in Crossland at that time) we were usin bus for appointments but used cab mostly after delivery. Some still used bus after delivery too.

For things to carry pls do not carry yam. Like Tvegas said palm oil is prohibited as well. U can get big bottle of palm oil for $14. Anything containing chicken is prohibited eg chicken indomie, chicken Maggi etc though some pple her went in with them freely but For me I wud rather play by d rules to avoid any story. Cheers

aadeg:
It depends on your budget and mode of transportation. If you will have/rent a car and drive (with an international driver's license), then distance may not be a factor. If not, cab costs can get expensive the farther away from the hospital/doctor/shops. Palm shadows is located closer to the hospital, but I'm not sure if they still enforce their max 2 person/room policy.

KayLayChi:
from what I have read on this thread, i doubt if you will be allowed to take in yam, the beans has to be free of weavils, the crayfish should be grounded and dried and the palmoil should be frozen and wrapped very well.

Happymum:
Good afternoon everyone. Please I intend using MIHS in phoenix for birthing because I am expecting twins and the quotes I have seen and gotten from other hospitals so far have been scary. My confusion now is concerning accommodation, I need an accommodation that can take my mum,my toddler and myself and then the twins when they arrive.Also, my husband will be joining us early august( I am due to arrive phoenix next month). I am considering legacy suites,palm shadows or crossland. Please can anyone advice me which will be better..as per size and proximity to shops and all?i am really confuse,spent 2days worrying over this issue.

Also, please at the Poe will I be allowed to carry yam, beans,crayfish, oil,etc ?what foods are forbidden please. Thank you so much, please eagerly awaiting answers please
