TheLeakyTribe:
It is my turn to share my testimony.

My LO was born yesterday 11th May 2016. Some of you would recall how my Dollars were stolen by my help before my trip. I was well prepared to follow it up and post everywhere about it but after my first doctors appointment here, the stolen money was irrelevant to me.

The doctor did a scan and said she found spots on my LO's heart that were indicative of either a hole in the heart or downs syndrome. I began to pray and believe God even though I was very shaken by the news.

Long story short, she arrived yesterday and is completely fine. She followed me straight from the OR to the postpartum recovery room. Join me praise the Lord. I'm one happy mumma.

Congrats!! God bless and keep the LO

Congrats Abefeokin and Damidamsel

God bless your LOs

temmyo:
mummy's in the house please how does paediatrician check up work? Is the check done in the hospital included in paed fees or hospital fees? Does the paediatrician start charging from the first visit to his/her office after discharge from the hospital?

My paed charged for hospital treatment as well, but I paid it during my first visit to his office. Subsequent visits were charged as we went

bigfido:
hello people,

so we touched down Naija on friday and with LO.
Thanks to everybody for your help and contributions. We used WHMC and the bills remain the same with Mrsbwc's bills except doctor charged 2k.

Heat has want to finish my LO. 3 days and heat rash is all over her face. Uber nearly used night bus to send me back to my village until i got to rent a car from Hertz.

please try your best to factor in transportation to your budget when making one. It is very important has it can drain you especially if you are staying in Houston.

curtains down.

@justwise I have accommodation suggestions for people and need your approval to talk about it.

thanks

Looool. Uber oh uber. Finally had to rent a car too. There's a similar app to uber (Turo) that is for renting cars

Houston ppl, transportation cost is a major expense line item in your budget oh

[quote author=sowbabe post=44752358][/quote]Hmnn...3 weeks oh. Had to go to d hosp to complain and they now did it the next day.

Some story about the director not being available to 'click a button'.

Just make sure you start harassing them early. I had enough time so I wasnt bothered

[quote author=blaize777 post=44744612][/quote]Gct my hosp did not include. Blood test they made spelling errors. Jst crosscheck your report

New patient fee is in the breakdown sheri sends to make up the 3340.

Hearing test is not compulsory

I saw the pediatrician up till her 1 month check. Guess thts wht its nore expensive. You pay per visit

Thanks so much @prolify and @theleakytribe

Well noted!

Pls I need some advice about the trip back to naija as I will be going back alone with my baby.

Mamas that have gone back alone with baby, pls how did you arrange yourself to make the trip less stressful. Any tips? For those that express, how was the milk preserved? Also did you carry hand luggage in addition to stroller carseat diaper bag and all. Pls advise me ooo

Good day all,

Please can anybody put me through on opening a bank account in US? I was told that i cant open an account but i think i have read where some people stated that they opened accounts. Please help.

You can try BoA. Go with your passport and drivers' licence. They'll open for you. Though the account attracts a monthly charge if you dont meet specific conditions

favoredgal:
I ended up not shipping again

But some mamas turned sister I met used psi and it came just fine

Okay thanks

Hi @favoredgal pls which shipping agent did uou eventually use? And were they reliable?

justwise:
You are referring to your unborn baby here right?

I gave birth 4 weeks ago

ozycy:
Is the transportation cost not included in your package?
You can Google airport shuttle to check price,
Their prices depend on the type of bus you want, you should get one within $40 range more or less but no be only you go dey inside the car o.

You can also just use Uber from the airport. Cost me $39.53 to richmond ave. cc omodadi

favoredgal:
I think it depends on the airline

I used British airways and Klm/ Airfrance for baby 1&2

Never got the Naij passport and I bought one way ticket in both instances

Cc feddy27

I'm using Delta...and I already even bought the one way ticket from the Lagos office before I saw justwise's post. my hubby brought it when coming.

I just hope they won't disturb me at the airport cc feddy27

Hello all...please I got an infant ticket for my baby on Delta. The ticket is one-way. I intend getting a naija visa on her passport. However, noticed on the first page that justwise posted that if the travel doc is an intl passport, it should be a return ticket. Is this correct?

LadyGuinivere:
Hmmmm! Na so bus go take lef person o! God forbid! I also mark present!
Wait O! So we go dey tell people now to read parts 1-4 ?
Chai see homework for houston cbps o! I wonder if they too don codedly mark their own present?

LadyG i couldnt quote that your post again. I leave the gangsterism for other people. Me I no get mind

After my husband read prolify's story on the anesthesiologist. He has been begging me to use epidural. meself wen dey form Hebrew woman. Northside mama's please information and cost of an anesthesiologist in case I change my mind. This labour sef is sounding a bit scary. God see me through.

Epidural is BAE!

merrymum:
God bless you all.

Congrats! May God bless the little one

My BS:

Went for antenatal checkup on Mon 7 mar at 37weeks 2 days and my bp was already rising. Also my lil one's weight was low according to the doc. Doc said to come bck on wed. Went on wed and bp was still high and the doc said he feared the placenta may be aged causing the IUGR and high BP. I was told to come for an induction the ffg day.

Went in at 7am and the process was started. i was 2cm dilated. Requested for epidural at 10am; water was broken at 11am. Labour progressed very slowly; but I didnt feel any pain because of the epidural. By 6pm i was still 7cm dilated. Got fully dilated around 11pm.

Was told to start pushing (even though it wasnt painful, it was exhausting). Vomitted at a point probably due to all the fluids that were passed into my system.

My LO finally came out at 11:54pm with her head facing up thereby causing some tears.

All in all, we thank God. Mother and LO are doing great

nefertitiram:
Come and do it in 9ja for free at health centre

Thank you!

ozycy:
Mrsbw, I don't think there is anything you can do about the weight now, it's not bad at all cos if you eventually reach 40 weeks, your baby wud be weighing abt 3kg or more. It's now they add so much flesh and weight. So there's nothing to worry about,just eat right dats all.

@ rofemiguwa, thank GOD for safety. Dont be surprised that a shop near you may have all you need and sell same price with the far distance shop you went to.

Thanks so much
