Hello house
Pls has anyone used delta (Houston to lagos) recently?
Do they give bassinet for infant?
Do they check in base of car seat for free alongside the car seat and stroller?
How much does delta charge for excess luggage?

Pls what do I apply to 8day old naval to heal faster? Does this picture look like it’s healing as I haven’t applied anything

Christine77:
Please house especially @justwise and @Twoods and other mamas in the house. Is there a reason why people avoid declaring $10000 n above? Cuz I see people taking money just shy of $10000 to avoid declaring. Does it reflect badly on you or something if you do?

I came in last month with $12k without hassle. Just declare any dime over $10k and u are good. My budget sheet stated above that so I wasn’t ready for stories. I wasn’t asked to even show the cash nor was I even asked how much I had with me.

Hello family
I’d be delivering in few weeks and would like to know how to get back my good tummy size after delivery.
Not myths pls-Pls suggest tips and tricks that worked for you. I heard the old tale of hot water massage gives tummy wrinkles? Who testified to this? I’m a disciplined eater and can do a few exercises but need to know what has worked for you Mums to get back in shape.
Thank you

Hello everyone
In the Spirit of giving back-here’s my trip and POE story.
Left lagos for NY via delta air yesterday, carried various dried cut leaves, roasted nuts and ground seeds —all dried, cut and seeds grounded and clearly labeled in zip lock.
Immigration in Lagos just asked if I had palm oil and I said No and they checked in my bag.
Choose JFK POE even though I was headed for Houston bc I was counseled about meanie Houston Poe (though my visa is medical b2 & I declared pregnant at interview(I have already posted how I got a 2year medics visa for child birth)
Delta experience
I got to the airport at about 6pm for an 11pm flight so I could see if I can get a seat with more leg room-I told the delta agent and he gave me one on the aisle and close to toilet.
Delta didn’t ask for any fit to fly(neither from ur Doc nor airport port health, meanwhile I had to pay 5k at my hospital for fit to fly.
Long flight, food was ok but the air hosts no send you o! No preference for preggy. Had to keep asking for water ,standing frequently and pacing the floor. Was glad I carried my long socks -the compression socks I bought wasn’t comfortable to wear, used my neck pillow as back support.

POE
As we queued for customs at JFK ,everyone was ushered to the self-service scamming point so I scammed my passports and declared over $10k and food stuff etc.
Was ushered to the CBP
CBP- Good morning, why are you here in the US?
Me: to have my baby
He took my passport and had a closer look
CBP- what food stuffs did you bring?
Me- dried vegetables and ground seeds and nuts
He stamped me in till Nov 2018 and said
“Enjoy your stay”
I thanked him and walked off putting my passport in my backbag and my boarding pass in my hand
I was wondering where they will ask me all the questions and rehearsals I have read about CBP on Niaraland-it was such a breeze!
The Favor of God was shouting loud on my behalf!
I was looking at the signs for how to get to JetBlue to board for Houston-I guess I was looking around like JjC Abe two CBP ladies walked up to me and asked for my passport and why I’m the US- I brought it out and gave one of them and answered to give birth And the other One asked me for my due date- I told her and mentioned that my first appointment with my Doc is tomorrow and I can show them the docs correspondence if they want- she gave me back my passport and smiled so I asked them to direct me to JetBlue terminal 5 and they did (I’m sure at that point they knew why I was looking up and down-and knew that it wasn’t like I was nervous or hiding anythin)
Went and picked my bags and wanted to get trolley and someone Paid for me to take one.
So I took airtrain and elevators to JetBlue.
So I’m waiting to board to Houston and then see Dr Z tomorrow.

Hello family
Pls can anyone refer me to a link that has list of acceptable nigeria food stuff or prohibited ones. Also does olive and coconut oil for skin count for food? Is there somewhere to buy nigeria food beside Oakbend as I’m planning not to carry any food -to avoid the long queues I have read here for food search as I would be heavy and won’t like unnecessary stress if it can be avoided. Pls advise

Good day beautiful people!
Pls I’m using Oakbend and Dr Dama in May/June and need to leave Houston in few weeks right after delivery bc of mat leave and time granted hubby off-work.

She applied as visitors visa (going for 2 weeks vacation) and used an agent , I advised her that I’m using DIY with Niaraland experienced minds as I couldnt afford an agent & wasn’t ready for all the drama that came with the pregnancy lies but she seemed to have gotten a hang of how to use visitors visa to gt it and didn’t want to discourage her but I gave my opinion anyways , she got denied this morning and first she’s my best friend- I can’t leave her hanging now moreso we planned free accommodation with her sister who’s a citizen (zero accommodation cost for me) so guys pls I need your counsel on how she should proceed to reApply, what ar her chances?
