TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by NicoleObi: 9:14am On Nov 08, 2018
Dear House,

Please help.

Can the notary at the US embassy be done before the birth of the baby? Or must it be after the birth of the baby? Would they need the baby's birth date of birth during the Notary process at the embassy?

Your urgent reaponse will be highly appreciated.

Thank u

The lady at vital statistics refused to collect my money order for BC at d hospital.
She told me to call after 4 weeks to know if it’s has bin processed n den go pick it up at DMV while I drop d money order.

Hello and happy Sunday to the house, kindly help a Sis as this is urgent. Must my host first take the invitation letter to the U.S embassy over there and get it stamped before sending it to me? or he should only write the letter, sign it then send it to me?
It will be nice to always have one....especially if its ur first trip. There is nothing wrong with being over prepared.

Google A.G CHAUDRY ( not sure i spelt it properly). Used this Doctor 5 years ago.

demiiii:
Hello nairalanders,

I need a doctor and a cheaper hospital in Maryland. I am having multiples and the fees are very high. The doctor I got is going to received (2500 X the no of child delivered = $5000) as doctors fee only. Other fees aren't included.

While the hospital fees at PG is starting from 10,000 upward.
I do not know if this will be charged per child delivered.

The doctors I have been getting have stopped accepting self pay patients, they only accept insurance.


HELP IS NEEDED URGENTLY. Please any nairalander with a doctor that accepts self pay patients in Maryland and hospital fees are quite reasonable. Especially multiple birth.
Precisely Maryland. I have a relative there which makes it easier for me.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Mamaiyanu:
Dont stress yourself my dear. Medical visas are usually for people with ailments, but unfortunately going to give birth also falls under medical Visa because you would see a doctor and go to a hospital.

But not to worry, they are probably not interested in if you are pregnant or not. They just wanna know that you can afford to pay your Bill's and you would come back.

Thank you Mama Iyanu....sincerely appreciate your response.

Hello Mamas n Papas in the house.

During the course of your visa interview, pls did anyone carry a medical report from your local/Nigerian Hospital

I am looking at the US website and there is additional supporting documents for those that require medical care in the US and it talks about medical report detailing your ailment. Pregnancy is not an ailment naaa....i just dey confused!!!

Please help!!!!!

Som of the gals abov shouting not to abort it claiming holy mary amaka
I knw u gals havee done small abortion in ua life in one way or the oda but u come here to preach
I didn't say she should abort it or not but amu picking on dos hypocrites undecided
So because the so called "gals" made a mistake by aborting in the past....they should allow another confused girl make the same mistakehuh?

My dear... One Word- GROW-UP.

My dear.... Don't abort the baby....God would never give you more than you can handle. Finish your youth service...and you'll find a job even with the high unemployment rate....the banker guy would eventually come to his senses...you see people have different ways of reacting to a shocking news. Pls don't abort that baby....God bless you.

Airpure: This is surprising cos most docs will advice u to start taking Folic acid while trying to get preggy. thats my issue with SOME Naija doc . now i just google my symptoms and go to the hospital for second opinion . when i was few weeks pregg i had some slight bleeding after (u guess wat) i went to d hospital n the doc was speaking grammer saying Threatened Abortion and gave me a 28k drug to insert for 7 days on day 1 d bleeding got worst i had to stop. only to ready online that the small bleeding after (U guess wat) is not that abnormal. i never went to the hospital again , didnt take the drug after d first day. So my dear use ur Doc but always ask google too. there is alway some1 asking same questions ad u.
I once experience slight bleeding in my previous pregnancy......and the doc recommended a progesterone drug which I inserted for 4 weeks and it helped....and d bleeding stopped....the doc said that the drug helped to make my placenta stronger....I suggest you go to anode good hospital for a 2nd opinion.......
