My baby boy arrived on the 17th of June at 34 weeks. He waited till we 'crossed over' before making his early appearance as I got into the US 8 days earlier.

Had my baby in Oakbend with Dr Dama Ziwortin.... Had to have a C-section as my baby was in a transverse position. It was the best experience of my life as I felt no pains at all during delivery... Before (even though I was in active labour and contracting), during (thanks to the epidural... I guess) and after the surgery (definitely God's grace). I was placed on pain medication afterwards but I didn't need them as I was in no pain whatsoever. This is God's grace and mercy solely because at many points I almost lost this baby but God's mercies kept him.

After experiencing a miscarriage last year for no understandable reason I felt empty and prayed earnestly for God's help and he came through mightily for me. I am so humbled by the whole process of having a baby. I has taught me to trust God more especially as an independent and supposedly strong woman. It is truly not by power nor by might.

I was discharged after two days but my baby was taken to NICU.... Where they kept him for 12 days. I practically had to beg them to discharge my son as they said he had to gain some weight before they let him go. So they were only feeding and changing his diapers.... I could have done that from home. They slammed me with a bill of $7,900 afterwards which was later discounted to $5095 if we paid fully within a week.

My advise is alway be prepared for unseen situations. I planned to spend $6900 for a normal delivery but I ended up spending $13,500.

Baby is healthy, Mummy is health that's the testimony of supernatural childbirth for me! As a FTM I'm blessed to have experienced this.

Thanks to all the peeps that keep this thread alive. I learnt so much by just reading. God bless you loads.

My dear, he said that he really doesnt like taking his patients to oakbend cos they've not upgraded their services yet they increased the price. He prefer Methodist and St Luke.

Mamas who are already using oakbend please help clarify this cos i got my quote in December.

Ps: havent gone to the these hospitals to make enquiries though.

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.

Please how true is this?

Apple19:
Thank you ma, i sure need this encouragement. indeed it's really funny to see your baby's once flawless skin going the other way round. Will soon return home sha, and all these will be history

Apple19:
@merrymum, God bless you for this info. But I don't know how long it'll take for them to process it. I intend leaving on Sunday before, but baby's US PP is not even ready. Applied over 4weeks ago, (Expedited), only to receive a letter that babys name is printed, sign...blablabla, in a nut shell, we sha re-fill the form and sent it back (expedited too O), and we're still waiting. So I'll just shift my ticket and Wait for the Naija PP stuff.(Additional expenses). It is well.

@All, pls for mamas that uses Sebamed products on LO, did you get from US? If yes, pls kindly tell me the stores, so I can get for lo. They seems not to know what it is here. Or if there's any other lotion like it (Tested and Trusted) pls help. My baby is kinda breaking out, and Pediatrician said I should get Cetaphil, but not helping. Pls TIA

princessbee:
Please for a way forward, can anyone help with suggestions of hospitals dt give refunds so I try d approach advised by the leaky tribe.

princessbee:
I deserve d scolding. Took wrong advise. D VO didn't ask for any documents. How only asked where I worked whichbi told him, he also asked my duties which I told him to a point den my little boy pulled my chain n I pauses before I continued he asked another question. Which was how may kids I had n if i was expecting. I didn't know I could show him my introduction letter cos I had all my documents with me.@ the leaky tribe I have access to about #250 k n baby ticket fare.

Veka:

@ Firstmummy i have sent you a personal mail still waiting for your response on Oak Bend

ifunanya84:
Since your visa is expiring in July n you r travelling in May it's okay. Once your visa is still valid at the point of entry and you tell them child birth n how long you intend to stay, they won't stamp you less than 3 months.

mummybee:
Hello everyone, a quick one please....i'll be due in July and intend travelling to the U.S in May. The issue is my visa will expire in July. Should I just go for the drop box or write a letter to the embassy because my fear is I could be stamped in for 2 months to leave the U.S in July which wouldn't give me ample time to get baby's documents and all. Thanks

Has anyone been in this situation before? Please help me sister.
