Bimsebony:


Hi Mrsbaby

Please i need info from you in the hospital and Dr you are using in Maryland. I have called quite a number and they are pricey like you said. Please you can private chat me if you can. Hope the twins are doing great. Thanks in advance.

awww. Just seeing this. Biko, I dont know how to private chat. I paid less than 8k for Anne Arundale clinic and then paid 2k for my doctor. Let me know how to reach you privately so I can tell you more.

Hello people, Got into the US Tuesday night via Emirates.
Make I kuku share my experience as I might not have the time when the LOs arrive.

Got to Emirate counter 3.30pm and was asked for my fit to fly. Bags and all checked and I parted with 2k for the food bag I carried.
Surprised 10mins later I was called into Emirate office and was told I would not be allowed to fly! Chisos! O gini??
I was told at 32 weeks for multiple birth, i cannot fly! Chei! I look time, time look me...4.00pm, flight was 5 30pm.
With my big belle and tiny voice, I asked what could be done. And the nice and concerned Emirate staff just said if I could get another FTF that read 30 or 31 weeks, i would go! How i go do am nah, fly to my clinic and come back to airport in less than 40mins when I no be bat man
Well, thank God for technology and for the little little tips i used to give nurses each time I went for ante natal (Always tip a nurse or two, they can come in handy any time). Called up one of the nurses who sharply arranged another FTF with 30 weeks and sent it via whatsap. Good people of Emirate quickly printed it out and I was good to go! Na so I take enter Dubai and almost had the same experience at the Boston leg of the journey as the air hostesses asked for my FTF which they held unto and discussed with their oga for about 15 mins before they brought it back and said I was good!
By the way, i was treated oh so nicely becos I carry twins for belle... nice.
Shaa, fast forward to Boston POE, which by the way I didnt know would be, since I was DC bound.
E reach my turn o...

End of story.
Guys, wish me luck as I await my LOs.

Make una sorry if this is a long read. I write for a living #smiles

Good morning people. I dont know if anybody has had this experience. The hospital i intend to use in MD refered me to a doctor who i called and gave me his bill. I asked for email correspondence i could show at POE but doc said he doesn't do email ans I should just give them his phone number. Guys please could this be a challenge?

People, biko has anybody used Mercy Medical Centre in Maryland or Holycross hospital? Can I have an idea of the bill please. Thanks in advance

Pls has anyone given birth in a birthing centre in this forum? Does it have disadvantages and would it affect my visa renewal? Hospitals in MD are so freaking expensive. Biko help a siater in dire need of response.

Good day my people. Biko, I would really appreciate if I can get responses to my concerns. Have been in and out the US for a while but first time of hoping to have a baby (ies) there.
Pls MUST I pay the hospital bills from Naija first before travelling? If I have enough cash and reasonable amount in card, would I be turned back at POE. Then, I am expecting twins, pls is there any airline that can just carry me with two babies for my return?
Pls help a desperate pregalnant woman o. Biko

Hello people. This is actually my first time of commenting on this thread though I follow it a lot.
Pls I desperately need information on some concerns I have.
I And my family have been travelling back and forth US since 2014 and we have even renewed our visa last year and I also used it to attend an event in July.
Now my worries...
I am pregnant now(with twins), due in May, would I still need to get another letter from embassey to tell them I want to give birth in the US?
When is the most advisable month to travel more so when I have to consider my work and also my sons I intend leaving behind.
Now most importantly, pls I need an affordable hospital in Maryland, pls does anybody know of any and how much (total package) it would cost.
God bless us all.
