Im currently in the uk and dont know if i can still apply to the US even though my leave has been rejected

I agree with Nerf as per US Embassy's skoin skoin in London. I have experienced it first hand.
In my opinion you don't really have ties to either the UK (as per your rejected leave to stay), or Naija (as you are not even present there yet).
I suggest you relocate on time to Nigeria and settle down before applying.

How far along are you? Do you have other children? Are your parents in Naija? Your house rent/mortgage is a good tie to your country as well.

Hope this helps.

ozycy:
You can use Google to locate one closest to you.

Thanks! I did, but buying online seems a better option for me.

Thanks a lot! Google to the rescue. Found a Fiesta close to Arlington where I am at the moment.

olokings:
If u re in dallas n looking for ultra mobile. ..
Goto skillman Street off audelia rd... there's one Apo supermarket. ..it's a plaza comprising mostly of naija ppl..there's a mobiles comms store upstairs. ..u can get ur ultra mobile lines there

ozycy:
.

Sorry to bother you again but where's Fiesta? I am in Dallas. T mobile wants to force a $40 monthly plan down my throat but I no gree! . Tx. How's your little one doing?

Please where can I find Ultra Mobile Sim? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Tx!

ozycy:
You dey vex o. I didn't know I cud order direct from dem. It didn't even occur to me to research. Was planning to buy when I get back to Naija. How long did it take to ship to you let me know if I still have time to order?

I compared prices, I got them cheaper in Lagos. So maybe u should wait till you get back home.

missmalachi:
Thank u ma,am just der battling wit constipation daily oooo.using d loo is wit prayers.i tak orange everyday n drink a lot of water n i make sure i eat vegetable soup almost on a daily basis still na cry b4 i poo.
Osu mi jor.

Have you tried yoghurt? The ones with little or no sugar?

firsttymum:
i dont get what u mean by shipping to the US. I'm presently in the US, I ordered from their site, and shipping was free

I saw the German website first hence the question, but I later found the US website. Tx

firsttymum:
Just because it's shacking me.... Yes I went all in... I ordered it from sebamed.com for those who might wanna ask

Did shipping to the US cost a lot? And is it cheaper than Naija price? Bought mine in Lagos, not this much sha.

[quote author=omogedudu99 post=39047752]Thanks! It happened August 2014 and there were only 2 Gynaes there then. @ HMO I realized that one doesn't get premium care with HMO so this time I didn't even bother.

Thanks dear! I think it was even worse for my husband. I wasn't allowed to see the baby but he did. Thank God for God oo!We got through it by His grace and lots of family support.

firsttymum:
Awwww MiddyO

OMG
Sorry about your experience
It must have been terrible... I'm so speechless

Thanks dear Nerf! Amen.

nefertitiram:
We bless God for restoration. Truly, you may never forget, but your next baby will bring a lot of joy into your life.

Can't wait for your to announce the good news!

Me too I have on compulsory celibacy since I was 14 weeks till baby arrives. So @firsttymum na una de enjoy o!

neks31:
Oga olokings I've literally read your reply like 3 times and loling !! Chaiii u r too funny and your choice of words na die!!! Tnx anyways I'm still celibate till thy spirit permits!

Try Ebeano (lekki) or DePrince Supermarkets (Gbagada), Matrix Pharmacy (Omole phase 1 Ojodu) They all carry wide ranges of Sebamed for babies and adults.

MumTee:
@firstymum did u get sebamed cleansing bar at Walmart online, I intend buying it along from Naija but couldn't get it from my regular store here, learnt its scarce. I used it for my first daughter till she was 18months.
What's coconut oil used for, u mentioned it in one of your post.

Amen! Tx dear! Abi o people have different journeys in life, it's to walk your own with dignity, when life bring gs challenges your way.
@ Nerf was actually a source of encouragement, I drew a lot of strength from her positivity and faith then.

Good luck with the Pediatrician!

bbaby84:
This is life. Some have it good while some are not so lucky. Please I'm signing up for their pediatrics and I'm hoping I'm making the right choice.
Anyho, will try them out still.
@Middy sorry about then ( I think some of us have to go through the whole miscarriage/ preterm labour thing. Heart wrenching!
Like they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
Can't wait for you to hold this bundle in your arms (God has a way of making us forget)

@omogedudu99



Amen o! My dear everyone will speak from their personal experience.

I was admitted and my Gynae abandoned me till well after the incident happened. Didn't hand me over to another Gynae and no other was on ground till it was too late.

Nurses on night duty refused to attend to me even when I was in excruciating pain all night, I had to wake one up to even respond to my enquires after practically crawling to the Nurses station..

The nurse that eventually attended to me gave me a drip which on hind sight (sounds like ocytoxin) my body was on fire for about 45 mins and I was hot all over. Water broke 2ce in less than an hr after that.

While I was in the delivery room I was transfered to another room half way through the procedure while waiting for the placenta to emerge, with 'everything' hanging between my legs, because they needed the room for someone else.

Remains of the placenta were left behind, which was discovered 3 weeks later.

In another climate this would have been a mega Legal battle but I left it all to God.

In my current hospital the difference between the care @ GC and them is from here to heaven. Due diligence and apparent value for life is out of this world.

I don't wish this horrific experience on anyone, not even my enemy!

Need I say more?

julzz:
My yam and dry pepper wasn't seized, just my rice was seized

Was dozing when I posted this, I meant you can carry knorr as long as it's not chicken, dry pepper is allowed too.

bbaby84:
Hope that's not the hospital I'm about to sign up with? Is it GC?

Yep! Spot on. Very negligent set of ppl, Dr's don't remember patient's history, even with their IPad in front of them. (Grey's Anatomy wanna be).

They could not manage common contractions, adviced me to go home and watch it. Till pains graduated into labour and water broke. End of story.

Please shine ya eye o! I know things happen but this was gross negligence!

Thank God for restoration.

twingirls:
ROTFL. I'm sure she meant black soap (ose dudu)its commonly used among the yorubas, some even mix with osun. I will surely take it along with the koinkoin. I hope I get the palm oil, dat palm oil massage too is good, our mothers believes a baby massaged wt palm oil can never have body odour. Dudu osun is a no no, but ose dudu mixed with osun (thanks Middy O for reminding me) is a must o

What's the difference between Dudu Osun and Ose Dudu? Same difference, all na packaging.

neks31:
Dudu Osun for baby I've not heard this one in my life TBH!!

Heard it recently too, although I plan to use Sebamed Baby Wash for newborns. I heard of one local black soap prepared in the market too with plenty concoction. (I don't trust this one sha)

nefertitiram:
UK negligent!!!! Hehehe, then borrow me the word to describe 9ja hosps?
Since I got back my ears don full!

A neighbour dat was preg d same time I was, we decided to use govt hosp b4 I ported to Uncle Sam's country, since private hosps don mess me up b4, lost d baby at birth in ds I same govt hosp. Cause? Stories dat touch!

My friend n his wife lost 6mths preg yday, cause? UTI.

I lost my 24yrs old cousin during childbirth. Cause? They said chest pain.

Am tired Mehn! Depressing gist

Nerf you know our stories are similar, I lost my own preg @ 22.5 weeks shortly after you. Private hospital on Bourdillon o!
My friend's sister almost died in the UK from infected CS site last year. Gross negligence ni o.

So UK too de struggle o, NHS isn't all that in my opinion

ciscaos:
Halo house, I have been going through this tread for the past three days now and must admit it has really been educative. This is my first pregnancy and I am roughly 10 weeks gone. Pls I want to no if it is normal to still have stomach upset at this stage. I also want advice on when it is right to start antenatal. Thank u

I think it's normal in my first trimester I used to purge like 3 or 4 times a day. Just drink plenty of water and fluids. In the 2nd Trimester it turned to throwing up till I was 22 weeks.

firsttymum:
Modath darling how's ur LO...

here u can shop online... For Me If I Waka small I start having contractions... And my hubby never come Yet... So na online shopping I dey do. But I bought drugs and basic things. Buy Maggi o...
Buy yam if u love yam... The yam here no b am.
Heard naija pears baby oil (has olive oil and shii) is very good for baby hair. You prolly shld buy that.

Yam is not allowed, Agriculture will seize it if they see it. Knorr cubes (not chicken), dry pepper too

Joleenluv:
Thanks Olokings, I am online right now and refreshing the page. I found out about NL late April but had not made up my mind fully. I had to renew my passport in July and all that. I will give it another shot. Truthfully, I never saw it coming, I read this page like a daily manual.

@Dere5, thanks but apart from my hubby what other thing can I use as a strong tie as I intend to re-apply alone immediately.

Ties include a good job or biz , property, shares and and thing worth coming back home for.

shanaka29:
I'm flying AF and Houston will be my POE. I'll be 34+ weeks so not so many options.
I thing telling the blank truth could hurt so i'm gonna go the "better health care" route and try to say somme BS about a crappy experience with european drs ... and pray

Exactly, just say US medical care is the best in the world (toast them) and it's a personal preference. U can use the negligent medical care in the UK (which is true to an extent).

Popri:
Yu can add antimalarials, nija bathroom slippers, sleeping hair net if applicable to u, etc

Dusting powder in that red container for the baby, Dudu Osun soap for baby, rubb for aching back etc, blue seal Vaseline for baby, Tom Tom, and ur ante natal drugs.

[quote author=uptown17 post=38952950][/quote]Sorry just saw this. Rate was 203.8. Call the Travelex numbers to confirm if you can collect elsewhere.

kaffy4bill:
Sorry sis, I have bn there and I know how it feels. Lots of fluid intake helps during fibroid degeneration in preg and it's common in 2nd trimester. Please take lots of water, it helped me.. hope this helps

I am still managing mine, by taking things easy and plenty of water as Nurse Kaffy said. I was given Meds for pain management though, because at a point I couldn't sleep.

moonert:
my dear aunty kaffy4bill abeg help o. The pain has been constant for 3days now o. been using paracetamol n drinking plenty of water as u advised. Abeg any other thing to be done? I wanna go do scanning to be sure my lo is okay. cos I feel her movement slightly on d painful side of my belly. thank you for being there. God punish Fibroid o.

I am a newbie on this thread but pls allow me to contribute. Sounds like the fibroids are degenerating (dying) , hence the pain.

Please see your Dr for pain management and do a scan also to determine the location of the fibroids causing pain so the fibroid pain doesn't progress into contractions.

Panadol won't ease the pain, it's too mild your Dr will prescribe the appropriate pain meds for u. ( Not ibuprofen pls) I experienced this 3 different times before now.

Try not to engage in stressful activities eg driving in traffic , I noticed that stress aggravates my own fibroid pains. Drink plenty of water too. Pele.

#DecMom for late registration! After stumbling on this infectious thread I had to officially sign in. Love the positive energy here!

Congrats to all the new mums in the house and Sade delivery to the rest of us in Jesus name.

Congrats Ozycy! God bless your little one!

I suffered same fate last week after waka all over Lagos. Travelex finally saved me from suffer head. My consolation is that its way cheaper than $225 black market rate. So help yourself o because PTA is now like Diamonds!

Gagat:
O boy! Getting PTA/BTA is like getting appointment to see Mr President.
I went round UBA, FBN, standard chartered, Access, FCMB & Ecobank today in search of a rare gem, $$$$$$$$$$.
No bi small waka o my fipple !
Not even one of these banks could give me $1 instantly as PTA. One has to apply for at least 5 working days before it can be issued that is if their bid with CBN is successful otherwise "on your own o". See story!!!

Gone are the good oldies when one walks into a bank with naira & walk out with $.
D sufa plenti sha!!!!
For banks where u don't own an account, u've got to open one for sometime before u become eligible to get PTA.
If anyone knows where I can get PTA urgently other than Travelex, pls help a sis!
Anyone in da house who got his/hers instantly or earlier than five working day since the last one or two weeks, pls kindly help me with info on the bank & process.
Thanks
