Iong post alert:

In the spirit of giving back, I'd like to share my experience at the dreaded Houston POE. Even though I feel hurt that since I join this forum, the 2 post I had posted for inquiries have been deleted, and I really don't why.
It's all good, cos I still was diligent in reading the threads and equipping myself.

I got my visa on a vigin passport in Feb 2017 and didn't know I was pregnant until weeks later, and when asked by the Vo then I said I wasn't. Was doing research online and bumped on this platform, where I keenly followed the Change of Intent info. I sent my change of intent sometime in April as I was planning to travel in June. Got the reply..."I'm not obligated to tell them, but be able to prove at POE I can handle my bills etc"

To cut the long story...Got to the airport(Abuja) June 4 while checking in at Lufthansa, the lady asked if I was pregnant I said yes, she asked if I had my fit to fly, I said yes, she said I'll need the port healthy cert. I told her I'm only 22 weeks and according to their online info, I wouldn't need that except from 35weeks, she insisted. I went to the portal and the lady said it was 2k, I said I thought it was 1k5, she said no, I just gave her the 2k. She took my temperature and BP and gave me the receipt.
Finished everything and we took off by 10:20pm for Frankfurt. Food was horrible- I begin purge for plane. Thank God I sat close to the lavatory. 4hrs layover and we were Houston bound - I no gree chop again, just asked for their dry bread, butter with Coke.

Landed at Houston June 5 around 1:30pm US time (just like I read here) target one young innocent looking CBP guy and stayed on his queue...

CBP- Good afternoon ma'am, passport plz?
Me- Good afternoon (hands it)
Cbp- why are you in the US
Me- Vacation and Childbirth
(looking a bit disoriented and was signalling for a colleague)
Cbp- How long are you staying
Me- 5months
Me - I have made some deposit at the hospital and I have correspondence with my doctor.
Cpb- plz let me have them. (Still calling his colleauge)
Me- (hands them to him)
At this time the colleague comes and he explains to him- This is her 1st time in the US and she plans to give birth, these are correspondence with her doctor and deposit receipt...
Cbp2 - who will you be staying with
Me- my sister in Dallas.
Cbp2 - Are you giving birth in Dallas
Me- Yes, Baylor Scott and White Hospital is also in Dallas.
Cbp2- during your interview, did you start this intention?
Me- no, because I didn't know at the time, but I sent a change of intent letter (reaching for the reply) and this was the reply I got.
He takes his time to read it and hands it back.
Cbp2 - I see you have paid $1000 deposit, how much is everything going to cost u?
Me- about $6k5
Cbp2 - V or Cs
Me- V.
Cbp1- I see you have $8k5 with you.
Me- yes, should I show you.
Cbp2- yes, but be careful, you don't want to call any attention to yourself.
Showed them in my purse
Cbp2- all 100bills
Me- yes.
CBP 2- How did you get all this cash
Me- part of my savings from salary and most from my husband.
Cbp2- is your husband joining you
Me- yes, much later
Cbp1- what do you do?
Me- Program and Communications Officer with....
Cbp1- Your husband?
Me- He is bleep bleep at.....
Cbp1- plz place your fingers on the machine
CBP2- make sure you keep all your receipt, cos we will request for it the next time you come. Also, do not accept any medicare here cos it will affect you visa and return to the states.
Welcome to the US (CBP1 was stamping my passport already)

Went to find my United Airline for my connecting flight to Dallas Forth Worth. After plenty delay, I reach home finially.

A word of advice - be confident and carry plenty money.

Ps: Don't blame your family, friends and relatives abroad. They dont have the info you want because they don't need it (their life na easy one as citizens), and you have to politely educate them, before you become Mrs know know and oversabi for their own country. My sisters will tell me, "we no know ooo", do your research and we will help you verify here.

many thanks to everyone who has contributed on this platform . Your experiences has help naive JJC like me. We're expecting our baby 1St week in October. First appointment is this weekend. Keep us in your prayers.

on to tickets now //elpaso bound June, July ,August mommy see you there.

shouuuuu mamas please shook mouth I will like to know also

MizMyColi:
Please o, dear mothers, help me shook mouth inside this my curiosity.

I Love my MIL so much and she Loves our daughter too much and I do not mean any harm for asking, but I am curious and would really like to know.

She sent me plenty plantain and red oyel
Among other things which includes white beads that are tied together in strings. Said I should wear it on DDs waist cos it helps prevent all these rashes and eela.

Since I was born I have never heard of such. I kept it one place at home. I have decided not to use till I get more information.

Has any of us here used such before or heard about it?
It's just one string of white small small beads.

Is it true?

comtem2011:
Its normal o, She will outgrow it. These babies are just adjusting to life after spending 9 months in the womb. Even as an adult, when u hear a strange noise or sound sometimes, you will be somehow shocked, talkless of a newborn/babies. To me its normal. Even when they released a sound fart, they are scared.

During my boy's omugwo, my mil even said its giri (high fever), that she will be rubbing one local oil on him and even said that, had it been she knew I was preggy, she would have sent the oil to me for drinking. I told her that she should not rub anything on my baby and that God knows I won't drink any concoction in pregnancy even after pregnancy. Another one was that she will give me herb to give him for drinking, so that he will be light and not heavy. Na yes ma I tell am, She has not seen me since then, almost 2years now.

Reason for my long epistle is that, I dont understand all these our mothers mentality concerning babies. Imagine the idea of ur friend's mum. God knows that I won't take that cos its just a stage. The worst, let her take her for checkup, period!

cc: Mandex11

thank you me too exactly my taught @ bolded

granma is funny ooooooo.
well that's what most of them did sha[b][/b]

olubankemi:
Then she's gatto be careful. As much as it is important we seek advise from the elderly, it is also very important we note that not all things they did the right way during their time.

My son is very light skin and my granma would sayy light skin kids are pron to fever and this that, that to stop the fever from coming I should always bath him with early morning urine. Me ke? I laff wan die that day. I said nno wahala.

When she kept pestering me I asked her if all the oyinbos were bath with urine (we laffed n just make jokes of the whole thing), since then she stopped disturbing me with urine bath.

Nne I'm sure it would o.
cause all this traditional this and that I know peeps still believe in them cause it's their thing but for me I don't give a poo wen it comes to try this and that "na so we they do am that time"lol no way.

olubankemi:
Waooo, hope the 'MARK' is not the one that would deface the pretty girl? Pls tell your friend not to allow it, most kids experience it. My son experienced it, someone even said it's 'giri', whatever the giri is na dem sabi. But I never gave a shit about it and I don't evenn know when it went. So,its a phase that would pass.

my sister thank you exactly what I told her ooo.
I pray she doesn't make the mistake that will last HER DD a lifetime

Akorkor:
@Mandex11, chai.. its all i can say. In this new age, your friend want her baby to swear for her when she grow up. Please she should leave the baby face alone oh. My DD get shock especially when she hear a strange loud voice suddenly even me her mama sef they get the shock too.

Please tell her there is nothing to worry about .

thankss

zaynie:
No offence taken. Babies have this reflex till like 6m so your friend should chill.

Just tell her, what of they mark her and it still doesn't go? That mark can never be erased o....

thank you

mydeporch:
Its normal and its just a phase dt will pass too. My ds also do that sometimes when dey move sometjinf wt heavy noise and if its sudden noise like unexpected. U better tell ur frnd to leave d baby alone and shld not add prob to d babys life o.

ok let me use startle or better still moro reflex instead of "shock" sorry if I confuse some people

zaynie:
Shock as how....
Sharp shivers or electric shock?

Hello mamas in the house this is my first time posting here.
quick question please

my friend came to visit during the weekend and told me that her ĎD gets shocked at times and she's about 4 months old I carried the baby and she's looking healthy as ever.

imagine now my friend now said she was tired of the kind of schock/scare her DD has , she now had to tell her own mom to come and notice it then her mom side "THEY WILL TAKE THE PRETTY GIRL TO THE VILLAGE TO GO AND MARK HER"that it will stop.

as I hear that kind thing,, my ear had to twitch cause I haven't heard such before. although I told her it will stop that this is just the phase but you people should help me shuk mouth oo . THANKSS
