Thanks to you guys my trip was a success. I got really useful tips from here that I would normally not think about.
Got to the airport 3 hrs before departure. Was in traffic for 1 hr, the traffic started just at the toll gate. Wonder how it would have been if it was a week day. Really do not understand round to come back-contributing to the traffic. Do we have to keep suffering like this in this country? Advice is to arrive airport on time, give it 6 hrs if possible!
Entered the airport, went to check in my luggage. I was directed to the fast track/first class lane. The custom officers were nice. I was honest about the food stuff I was carrying, they didn't ask me for money for that. The BA attendant was nice, no fussing when I handed my fit-to-fly letter. I was told to collect and fill the Ebola form (really helpful . After that I courageously ignored the common lane and walked to the fast track, I was allowed!
Got to Heathrow but before landing I asked
The Heathrow - Houston leg was super, the flight was not full and luckily had a whole row to myself. I stretched out and sleep very well. Thank God!
Coming later is my CBP experience.

Got to the airport 3 hrs before departure. Was in traffic for 1 hr, the traffic started just at the toll gate. Wonder how it would have been if it was a week day. Really do not understand what is going on at our airport. 4 lanes eventaully minimized to 1 lane, plus people leaving the airport cannot connect to arrivals entrance road because the road is blocked and they would have to exit, go and turn around to come back-contributing to the traffic.

I was told to collect and fill the Ebola form (really helpful tip). Filled it out, took it back to them to endorse. Getting to the security check entrance, some guys wearing orange t-shirt wanted to collect money from me so that they can take me thru fast track. Told them I don't have anything. Went forward the the Ebola guys and submitted by Ebola form. After that I courageously ignored the common lane and walked to the fast track, I was allowed!
Got to Heathrow but before landing I asked the air hostess about the wheel chair I requested. She said it will be waiting for me when I arrive. And it was. It was a life saver for me cause in this pregnancy, long walks cause me both belly and back ache.

Did not take care of me at all o. Did not even ask for fit to fly. All legs of d journey was fully booked and cramped. Did not put me up for d delay only when we got to boston and no connecting flights available for the day was put in sheraton. .

supamom:
Reporting from usa via emirates. POE was boston, very smooth. Asked purpose of visit, how much i had on me, why usa, how long i intend staying and if i showed the embassy a zero balance on my last baby during my visa interview.
Emirates trip was over long with weather delays at stopover in dubai. Left on 29th got here 31st.

POE

That's my story people, I'm really grateful for God's favour all the way, I feel bad that I tainted the testimony by lying to avoid stress but I'm glad I'm now forgiven and for the ability to answer all questions thrown at me confidently and truthfully. Thank you nairalanders for the tips and tricks along the way, helped a lot. God bless you all yanfu yanfu!

@ MamaTobenna, I used Reddington Ikeja and they are very good. I chops Dr Balogun and when I mentioned my travelling to him, he prepared my medical report in an extensive way and wrote a perfect fit to fly letter for me. Even when I get to US the Ob/gyn told me that he has done majority of the work.

nefertitiram:
Somebody shout Halleluyahhhh! Who remembers this post?
The Lord that answereth by fire! Let him be my God! My people! God has restored! Gave me the perfect xmas gift!

IyawoToBe:
Please mamas, which hospital in your opinion is best for ANC? Between Reddington & St ives. I read somewhere on this thread that one of these hospitals don't give patients access to their medical records. Don't know which of the two. Please help as I need to decide between which of the two to register with. Thanks

Nochid:
LAX is pretty straight forward if you declared your intentions at the embassy and have your supporting documents.
Was there in July, though was taken to secondary inspection,just waited for some minutes,after my visa interview transcript was brought up, I was stamped in for 6months.
I know some others who went through same POE without issues.
