MrsBee:
Hello house, Etihad is doing promo and it will be ending today. I just got return tickets to New York for 2 adults and an infant for N336k in July.

Cheers

Hello chloe7. Are you motherforlife's second moniker? I see you are quoting people around trying to form her advocate. Abeg o. It's too early for wahala. So please don't quote me again. I wasn't referring to you. Or are you shawbabe too? Mtweeeeeew

1sttimemom:
iyawo to be,if you check america embassy website it is what is written there,she simply quoted it,that it doesn't apply to all states doesn't mean its wrong,one place I know you must use a notarised consent from us embassy is elpaso.I can't speak on oda states.

Yes of course. Am not disputing the fact that it is stated on the embassy's website. What am saying is, it's wrong for her to use that to form a conclusion when people have stated here times without number that they actually used a consent letter notarised in a public court. I know it doesn't apply to all states but then she shouldn't have generalized. And she even mentioned the payment of $50. I think we all know that is not true... Or am I missing something here?

Shawbabe:
I was gone ignore...but I said nah let me answer u. Biko show me where this question was answered for Georgia state SPECIFICALLY and I will gladly apologise, becoz I read and followed this thread for a very long time before I registered and even before the wipeout. So don't come up here attempting to sound smart.

Shuo Shawbabie You get me for mind before? Abeggi o. I was referring to motherforlife post where she said only a consent letter from the embassy is accepted and one has to pay $50.

bbaby84:
Why do you like giving false information? This is my second child and all my husband did was go to notarize the form DS -3053 at the nearest court.
I'm not saying it can't be done at the embassy but the embassy is not the only option.

lol. She even metioned paying $50 Something that is very very free. If only people asking questions can read through the thread. All these have been thrashed out in previous pages.

oluwafunkenny, where are you headed? Are you el paso bound? I just sent you a PM

nefertitiram:
Huhn!!!

You get time to dey quote am

mom2015:
I was wheeled into and out of the plane entrance. I only walk when I am on board....lol.

I just dey land for houston, cant wait to get home nd rest my body.

Happy new month y'all...

Ok. Great! How was your experience with Delta?

mom2015:
Hi guys,

I'm just got into atlanta less than 2 hrs ago. No stress at all.

Thanks to u guys for sharing ur experiences on Nairaland, it really helped a lot. My POE story goes thus.

I requested for a wheel chair and I had priority treatment all through the checkpoints.

Cbp: Hi, ur makeup suites ur scarf and top, that's nice (smiling)
Me: Hi, thank u
Cbp: why are u here
Me: to give birth...
Cbp: oh good
Cbp: have u travel to serria Leone or Liberia recently
Me: no, this is my first time to leave the country
Cbp: so you haven't traveled for vacation?
Me: no, I'm not too thrilled about traveling, I'm only traveling to be sure my baby is born safely.
Cbp: how many months pregnant are u?
Me: almost 8 months
Where will u be staying
Me: Houston
Cbp: are u expecting ur husband
Me: nope, not too sure. Hour is a very busy man
Cbp: where does he work?
Me: ....
Cbp: do u work?
Me: nope
Cbp: how much do u have on u
Me: $8k and #1k
Cbp: stamps me in for 6months and gives me my passport

No secondary inspection and we were smiling all thru. He didn't ask abt Dr appointment, neither did he request for any document.

Agriculture seized my rice (lol) and I didn't have any issues at the security check.

All in all took abt 15mins.

I'm just waiting for my connecting flight to Houston.

Thank God for his favor.

Wish all the mama's in d house a successful POE.

Dr Fagbohun, here I come..

Wow! Is this the same atlanta? Or another one? Thank God for his favour o.

Pls as touching the wheelchair, did you request to be wheeled to the plane? And how was your experience with Delta airline?

shelly23:
Just watch as people start porting to Missouri lol! I won't lie, it's a fantastic deal sha.
I'll say to consider the epidural, roughing it a lot easier said than done o! The pain is like nothing you've ever experienced.

lol. My concern isn't even about the pain... Most of us wouldn't have a choice than to face the pain if we were birthing in Naija. How many Naija hospital offers epidural.

My concern is just that its not a package deal. The hospital charges differently, the 800 for epidural doesnt include fee for anaesthesiologist and its only the doc fee that appears cheap. The man might even change the price after getting influxes of calls . I was considering Mobap before and when I called I was told 2700 for physician fee. So this 800 is good news! But looks too good to be true.

My advise to people who wants to port to st louis is to relax and allow Kizluv share her experience. See if there are no hidden charges and all after delivery, then you can now decide. To avoid stories that touch

Kizluv get free accommodation. So a little surprise charges after delivery no go really affect her. Abi Kizluv?

kizluv:
Congrats dearie, you may not be called for an Interview, my friend did the same thing. 2 babies under one visa, and she did dropbox. The Lord is your strength. Is it just me or my pregnancy moves very slowlyyyyy. Chai....
IyawoToBe, please where are you headed ? My doctor is charging 800 for delivery ooo. Sure your won't come and join me in mobap . Lol @ phema, make una leave phema.

Yeeeeeh!!! 800? As I don con buy ticket to el paso nko? Wish you told me earlier

FinanceFitness:
Lol, yes o. They will have 14 months between them though.

And they will both be on the same visa - lol, I will certainly be interviewed when it is time to renew!

Wow that's great! Congrats

People like Phema should take a cue from this. Time waits for no man

FinanceFitness:
Hello house, congrats to all the new moms and successful entries.

Had my baby at Elpaso the last time and not sure I want to go back there for now. Considering Atlanta.

I've seen that the only affordable hospital is Northside with Gwinnett now expensive.

Anyone here with experience in Atlanta and at Northside an the all inclusive cost for CS delivery? And accommodation tips, transportation, shopping e.t.c. Please help

Shuo You are back for a second trip so soon?

Shawbabe:
Hahahaha u people crack me up. See all the gospel and epistle preaching peace and all. Oh and folks posting @ 1am could be in different time zones. Biko it ain't that serious. And anyone who bursts a nerve becoz of what someone says to u on a faceless forum, needs to speak to a psychologist about handling her emotions/anger.
So make una quit with the "holier than thou" posts and epistles. It never was that serious...well not for me anyway becoz I'm not buying anyone's ticket here. Lol! So why will I care if they fly @ 1 week or 43 weeks??

Hmmmmmm You like wahala! Ewwwwwww

shadetwins:
@ drafrican i pay 30% of my salary to the Nigerian Govt.. and im not getting anything from this country so wat are u saying. You kno nothing abt tax in this country

Please let's lay this issue to rest abeg. We have over flogged it. Biko. Today is a new day!

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God

FexCathy:

I had it in mind to get huggies but d price eh nor be here and d seller convinced me to take d prince & princess dat its a vry good one. Counting down to march now. God will see evryone of us tru. Amen.

Congrats finebony and my dear kizluv (its been long I heard from you so glad you landed in st Louis in one peice Chicago CBP have got nothing on you )

Pls to those who have flown delta pls can you give tips about the best seat positions on their aircraft. Particularly for economy. I intend to ask for an upgrade to economy comfort on the flight if it's not full. But still want to make sure I get the best economy seat in case I don't have the opportunity for an upgrade. Delta airline o not BA.

Thanks

drafrican:
Pls mothers in the house that have had deliveries using epidural and then not using vice versa.
I observed that mothers who used epidural took a lot longer to push their babies out because that painful urge wasn't there. Trying to decide on to do and not to do?
What was your experience like?

Thanks for raising this. People don't seem to share their birth stories here. I have been meaning to ask.

Experience mamas in the house, pls share your experience with epidural abeg. Did it help? Or natural is the way to go?

Pls advise FTMs like us o.

geniusbami:
U know my suggestion? If U want to avoid the bank, deposit into your Live Forex Account and don't trade with it. Just before the end of May it is envisaged that a Dollar might exchange for up to ₦280. By the time U want to withdraw U'll have it straight into ur Naira account at the prevailing (higher) rate. I did that when the exchange rate was ₦204/$. Today now a $ is ₦212 at the parallel market.

And how did you arrive at that forecast?

Hmmmmmmmmmm *deep sigh*

PrinceAdeAde:
Funny Madam

Well, I haven't paid yet. I called their international sales/reservation line and they advised me the price. I could have paid with my card but they advised me to pay at the airport for two reasons:
1. I would need a paper ticket to admit the baby on board and if I paid via telephone,They would have to deliver the ticket by post and the sales rep says she cannot guarantee it would arrive at my US address in the time frame I was requesting for which is within 2 weeks but she however said it is a huge possibility
2. She further advise that I opt to pay at the airport as the price would be the same value within my wife return date so to be on the safe side, i should just pay at the sales office in the airport

Alright. Thanks a bunch.

Is the delta houston promo still on?

Princeadeade, Delta Airline sales rep

How much did you eventually pay for baby's ticket?

Ezemistic:
I lived presently in hisgracelodge, the lodge is my hommy, a place of rest of mind, u get free ride on your first appointment and first grocery/other shoppings, they will also pick you up from the Airport & drop off. If you have a driver license there is a car for you to go around town. If you see my post, I earlier said that I lived in a family apartment, that is because I lived comfortably in a place I call hommy. That's my little girl enjoying herself in dat pics....

How much does hisgracelodge charge per week abeg?
