Not too low sis.
Term babies weigh between 2.5kg and 4.0kg. Anything less is underweight.
In the next 3 weeks, your baby should chop at least 0.5kg more to arrive at 3.0 thereabout.
Dont worry, just chill and eat right wink
Relieved..thank you

All the people that keep asking for referrals to Dr F. If you truly want to use him, why not pay the $300. And if you don't plan to use him, don't you think you'd have spoilt the reputation of the person who referred you, and the person's future referrals might not be worth anything?
My 2 cents..

Abg no vex...exactly hw mch cash dd u have? Do u thnk d 4k pta will b enough snce part payment has been made?
Had 9k. I'm nt sure what will be or not be enough; but I'm guessing with 4k n part payment u should be good. U could also have your internet banking on standby so you can show them extra money in your account if need be.

Hello people! Safely in Houston. My trip was mostly smooth. Flew Delta at 35 weeks +. Went to port health at mma to get fit to fly just in case. It wasn't requested for though.

O boy! The journey was long!!! Kept sleeping and waking up, the trip no gree end. Delta has to be one of my least favorite airlines sha...hostesses with plastic smiles, extremely crappy food, no extra perks. Na only the direct flight thing fit make me fly them. Anyway, landed at atl at about 5:15. Had booked wheelchair, so was wheeled to the front of the queue.

CBP: good morning, *scans fingerprints*
CBP: Why are u in the US
Me: to have my baby
CBP: oh *checks something on her system*
CBP: do you have correspondence with any hospital?
Gave her all my prearranged docs...letter from Dr La stating I had paid 3k and had strong ties back home etc, receipt, budget sheet.
She scanned through and asked how much I had. Told her. She asked what I do in Nigeria and then she stamped me in for 6 months

She then asked what kind of food i had cos i had indicated on the immigration form that i had food. Told her a few things like pepper, dried fish, garri, melon (she asked if it was grounded..said yes). She then wrote 1 on my immigration form. The wheelchair guy said we were good to go. Picked my bags from the carousel and headed to agriculture. They took my form at agriculture, asked what kinda food; i said same thing i tokd the cbp, the woman said egusi n i said yes. I didnt mention the noodles or palm oil though. She asked if i had yam, meat, leaf and i said no. Nothing was checked and i was asked to go.

Checked in my bags for the Houston leg and left.

Got to houston and realised only one of my bags was on the flight. Reported and was told the second box was on the next flight. Dropped my addy and was told it will be delivered today. Tracked it online and noticed its been retrieved so im waiting for them to deliver.

All in all, I thank God. A big thanks to all those who contribute on this thread as well. May God grant all our heart desires kiss kiss

Hi ma,

God bless you greatly for this information.

Currently about to use Unity bank to process the Form A. The letter from your specialist doctor or hospital, Was it from your regular obgyn? Or just from your hospital? And what did it say exactly?

Thanks so much as you respond.

Cheers!
The letter was from my regular obgyn who I had been using for my antenatal, and it was typed on the hospital letterhead. Just a letter addressed to your US doctor confirming you as a patient and referring you. It could include basic info about your pregnancy, EDD etc. There's really no specific format
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by mrsbw: 11:43am On Feb 22, 2016
okay guys..wanted to wait to be debited before confirming the Form A stuff.

I intend using Dr La and WHMC. WHMC does not accept wire transfers, so I got Dr La's wire transfer details.

I went to Stanbic IBTC on Thursday for the processing.

Documents required:
a) Letter of reference from specialist doctor, or specialist hospital in Nigeria -
b) Completed Form A
c) Passport, visa and air ticket
d) Correspondence with overseas specialist doctor stating the cost of treatment etc.

Filled the form; requested for payment of doctors fees only (paid $3,000) and included my doctor's bank details. The requirement doesn't state just hospitals can be credited. It only states that it must be for medical treatment. So, I guess if you can provide your doctors correspondence (with his letterhead) and they can match it to the bank details. I guess they can also check the doctor online if they want.

Got debited the ffg this morning: Transaction: 598500; telex charge: 4000; offshore charge: $25 = 4987.50; Bank commission 0.5% = 3142.13
Total was 610629.6 which came to about N203.5 per $.

So you can actually pay for just doctor or doctor and hospital if your hospital accepts transfers.

Noticed in the CBN requirement page that if the doctor includes cost of maintenance, that cost of treatment can be made payable to the hospital and the cost of maintenance to the applicant if the applicant is an outpatient; but I did not explore that oh. Only paid doctor's bill.

Also, I had initially gone to UBA and they said they dont process Form A for childbirth. GTB said I'll be on a wait list for at least a month. Went to stanbic after @onlineise post on Wednesday, and it got processed in 48hours. Thanks so much @onlineise you are a life saver!

Pls remember to collect your telex copy from the bank as proof of payment

Hope this helps cc: @biollar1 @chloe7 @kemo88 @beautyx5

you can't even use formA for a doctors account directly only if both are charged together under one package like the one doctoresparati advertises then you can pay direct to hospital and they sort themselves out
Is this info correct? I applied for form a to my doctors acct directly last week and didnt get such feedback

Hello, please which hospital did u friend transfer to? I desperately need to find another hospital that accept transfers pls.

Thanks
Dr La (WHMC) has started accepting wire transfer. WHMC will not though, so you'll only be able to use it for Dr's fees

I'm currently exploring that option myself. Will give you feedback if successful

Hmmm b lookig like ds banks have a scam going on. Went to access today anc d frst brnch told me 305 o! Dt il b chtged 214k for 700 dols whch thy claim is their max... not 1k... dsts even after some saucy biatch told me i cnt do moneygram in access unless i received inflow. Truly dump customer service lady with no etiquette at all


D second whch happens to b dr headoffice branch told me dy dnt hv slot for moneygram

Abg how u get ur 265?
what access does is their limit is 198000 per person per quarter, transfer fee of 14,000 and vat of 700. last week, that came to about $960. exchange rate was reviewed over the weekend and this week, it came to $800 per person per quarter. I still did it anyway, cos its much better than current exchange rate of 360 or so; but the senders must have account with them oh. also heard the branch has to have received moneygram inflow for the day before they can do outbound; so you just have to keep checking or drop it with them (if they'll accept).

Wanted to use form A but the pathology office in El Paso isn't releasing their account details. Please , someone should help me before dollar hits 1000 naira to 1 dollar. T
Yes you can, if someone can receive it fir you there and take it to their office to pay

Na so the standing attract one fine black lady o. She asked if somebody had attended to us and we told her in a gentle voice that our travell date was today and we needed bdc and had prebooked .She took our details and gave to the Manager (God bless his father for not using protection grin) Next thing my friend received a call to come and collect. We filled the forms and ran to fund the account. Meanwhile in all this waka, our bags and baggages de follow us round VI.
So we were debited at 210.1 and we will start heading to the airport soon.

Apologies for the harsh words...

The truth is that this forum has been very helpful to all and sundry and such unsubstantiated information is not good to be disseminated here.

There is a cbn circular halting the sale of PTA...it came into effect since last year.

No bank ...i repeat no bank sells pta...you can put a call to cbn feedback team online and make valid enquiries...pta and bta have been halted same with bdc...




Apologies...no harm intended but you lie my sister....kindly call the bank and branch and put me to shame.....until then...quit disseminating false information....when people that drafted the circular and attend mpc meetings talk you listen.
@wheredemdey you are the one disseminating false info. There is no CBN circular halting the sale of PTA. I work in a bank and we are selling to only premium customers because of the scarcity. Stanbic still sold till last week when their funds finished, and I'm aware that First Bank and Fidelity occassionally sell in some branches...

Even if you were right, no need to shut someone else up because you feel they are wrong, and in this case, YOU ARE WRONG!

@nadina sorry for the insult. pls keep the info flowing. it's left for pple to go the extra mile and see if the info works for them or not. thanks
