oluloveme: for my first son we had to do it again in Redington VI naija, too painful for the boy.

but for my second son, Dr. Duc Le did it and .....perfect,

sayoberry: air pure that price is for twins cs o.
kykes are me right?

raii: I called dr Jeanne Hyungh of WhMC and her fees is $2k minus tests and ultra sounds but you have to send your ante natal records before she would consider taking you on as a patient. WHMC hospital fees is $2.5k, epidural is $1.2k. I didnt ask for paediatric costs.

I believe she is the cheapest because I called other docs and the least I got was $2.8k

Airpure: @ Kykes do u have any info on Womens Hospital of Texas i think its in our Axis buts getting info from them via phone is a 20mins transfer to transfer matter.

also m still expecting ur email for methodist please.

sayoberry: @kykes since we dey the same shoe. na Ur face I dey look o.
kykes what was the overall cost of birthing for sugar land when you calculated? just birthing.

@nefertitiram... this Ur name self... very long to type I agree with you but what of the pains after the cs? moreover Im cs-phobic and
I'll be alone and someone will join me after the birth. may not be easy for me. as for work I'm trying as much as possible. I'm planning to travel at 7months too.
I pray God gives me the strength to listen to advice and not go working like a mule

raii: Anybody got info on memorial hermann in houston.

Airpure: Hi Peeps,

So i also called Methodist Sugarland last night and asked for a package for cash paying patients and they adviced as stated below

1.V- Delivery - 2530 for 48 hrs stay
Epidural - 1,500 (a must for me)

2.CS Delivery - 3,780
Epidural - 1500

this is minus Doc Fee

she kept saying its just for Delivery and its covers baby n mother.so i am actually afraid of hidden cost.

let me knw peeps if u got anything different

zeezahbee: I called Claudia on bhalf of my sister in law and for womanly birth is 2500dollars

Airpure: My Dear its like u n i will be friends from now on ohh. lol.

i think i rather use united for 231k pls wats d no to call

n the bill for Methodist u stated earlier is it all inclusive.

from where m staying to methodist sugarland is 14mins

Distance to St Joseph is 25mins

so m still weighing my options

Airpure: this sounds great. Please is it Methodist Sugarland and can i get the full details for Dr Le?

Airpure: Whoa Great Thread i must say. Thanks to every one for sharing. I had my baby in Huston few years ago and i am planning to go back again soon and use same hospital.

On my first trip i didnt have any info all i knew then was i wanted my baby to be an American Citizen .I had a friend in the states an American and I Bless her till tomorrow i was skepitical about asking her but finally did and she was so happy to have me. she lived in Downtown in Houston so I had to find a hospital around there. I sent her $3,000 to hold for me then travelled with $10,000 when i got to the states i was 30 weeks but wasn’t really showing cos i had searched and ordered the perfect maternity top from Next in the UK. I travelled with KLM nice flight all the way. So arrived the US with my jeans and trainers looking like ur normal fat tourist lol. Luckily POE staff was male and didn’t notice my bump.

A day after i arrived the internet and phone where my best companions. i goggled and called and went on about 5 birthing centre Tours. Then i goggled for a doc after calling so many I settled for DR Que Traven reasons were 1. She Started practicing the year I was born(Experience) 2. I wanted a woman cos I felt a woman will understand d needs of a woman more and understand and sew back properly after d delivery Lol. 3. She had great reviews 5.she was less than 10mins away from the house by cab and a cab ride cost me only $6
The hospital I used was St Joseph Medical Centre Greatttttt Hospital . They have a package called Blessed Event Package for cash paying patients $3,000 for Virginal delivery with 2 days stay and $5500 for CS with 3 days stay. I will itemise my total bill below.

1. Cost of Hospital - $3000 + Epidural + 3 course meal for me n hubby + Lab n lots more.
2. Doc Bill - $2000
3. Circumsion - $200
4. Baby doc after birth - $1,200 negotiated to $600
5. Compulsory Hearing Text for all newborn - $ 200

Total for having my baby in the states minus passport n Visa etc was $6,000. And I had the best experience ever. I had no labour pain as I had an epidural I truly delivered like The Hebrew Women maybe better lol. I think I might use them again only am staying in Sugarland this time and thinking of using Methodist Sugarland (I need reviews on this please) though hubby said we can move to Downtown close to delivery time) one thing I want to avoid is hidden cost afterwards like sending bill for Lab and Epidural like one hospital did to my friend.

Story on getting passport in 2 days and Birth certificate same day plus my bad experience with Nigerian Embassy and Visa Renewal will follow later.

sayoberry: that's cheap!!! re u sure?? multiples? unm...

ashleybaker: @ Kykes: How much does the hospital Dr. Le use charge? Also is the 2700 for CS or vaginal delivery? And were you told of some of the other costs like pediatrician, extra days, circumcision etc?

anonymousmum: this was my identical situation...i believe we should be able to beat Dr. Le's price down.

What I did was to get correspondence from some other Dr in the houston area that I will use for POE

I got correspondence from Dr. Fabgohun, and Dr Sayegh...has full break down that you can use for POE.

Gilbertsayeghmd@gmail.com and fagbohunmd@yahoo.com

Thank you @anonymousmum

PrinceAdeAde: hello All,

Just Called Delta Lagos ticketing office @+234 1 279 9000 and they confirmed a promo is ongoing for Lagos-houston and this expires at 16th october 2014 thus all flights goes for N230K(Lagos-Atlanta-Houston i.e Atlanta POE)

All that have been waiting for summer ticket prices to wear off, this is the opportunity to grab. Other airlines are also running similar promos such as united but note that the closer the date of travel is, the more the price i.e promo price may not apply thus I have checked that if you book for one month from today, then you would enjoy the riddiculous rates

oluloveme: He charges like $1600-$2000 depending on how you can negotiate,... Cool and calm guy...well known in Methodist sugarland....he does circumcision as well ( he calls it nigerian style, cos I had to explain and explain...then he said "I understand the nigerian style"....that helps in saving cost., cos we didn't have to do it in the hospital.

anonymousmum: Hello house,

I am in need of some help,

the Doc that I have received a quote from, and I have decided to go with does not provide e-mail correspondence (Dr. Duc Le of Sugrland Methodist), even the hospital does not provide correspondence, even after trying to psyche/beg them on the phone...naija style no work

As I am sure we will all agree this is critical for POE...

Please do you have any Dr and Hospital in Houston/Sugarland area that will provide e-mail correspondence/cost breakdown, I just need something to hold for POE purposes...Also please provide e-mail address if you have it...

Thanks muchos

oluloveme: Good to see u back again, could nt reach you so...I finally chose dr DUC LE of Methodist sugarland,...changed my mind with WHMC.....closed account with them 1 week b4 delivery

No issues..... mother and big boy doing great.

IyawoToBe: Couples who got their visas together pls help with my questions abeg

Dollsjay: PDF Zimmerman fees are not 1600...don't think you got the right dr information

Phema: Only one that comes to mind now is Holy Family Hospital. I think with an all inclusive package of $4800. You should check them out.
