Nne,
You were not barren.
You were a mom in waiting, getting nuggets to be used in encouraging Other moms waiting.

I'm sure if you met a woman in that situation you will do a better job of encouraging her than the usual "I'm praying for you" and "don't worry God will do it" that the uninitiated may use to encourage them...

You are right. I was a mom in waiting.

*strolling by*

I talk am! You be super woman! Even this my one baby, I have contract with God that na 2018 b4 he sends another baby!

Hahaha haha Nerf Nerf! Na you talk am o.

happytbaby:
Babes,

You be strong woman o, you still dey go another missionary journey after triplets! I don't know their gender though but your husband too na strong man as school fee is not smiling.

Anyway, may God grant you your heart's desires.

My sister, I'm not planning but I'm still open to it. If it comes, I will gladly accept it. Wetin I take eyes see for being mum in waiting , I no mind one more.

najalady86:
Wow. Congrats dear. I think you were the one i saw my first day at the Dr's office with your LO mum and aunty. Didn't know you went through all these. May God's name be praised. And like you said, the Dr. Is a God sent. Nice to a fault. May God bless him. He even offered to collect his fees via wire transfer despite slashing his fees.
And for those considering L.A., trust me it's so much better here. Used Oakbend and Dr F last time and i can tell the difference. There is also Metro bus and train to almost every where. Haven't spent up to 10 dollars on transportation since I came and I go out almost every day. Most times, the bus driver will just wave you and say dodnt bother paying.

Congratulations to you and all mums who have delivered of their LOs. God bless you all. To that mum that gave birth at 34weeks , It was indeed a miracle. I gave birth at 34weeks 5days and all my babies were in the NICU for about 2 weeks before they were discharged. Paying NICU bills is not beans. Glory be to God for such a miracle.

Now, this your doctor is amazing. Will certainly use him for my next journey before T shuts the door on us.

Pls new and old mama's I urgently need advise.

I just put to bed but haven't been able to express any breastmilk since the last 24hrs. LO sucks but nothing comes out. I am still doing skin to skin contact to initiate milk flow. Pls is there anyone who has experienced this and has a solution. Currently she is being bottled fed but i ll like to stop it asap.

While you are waiting for the breastmilk to start coming out, please do get some baby formula for your LO. May we not use our hands to turn our baby into what God didn't plan for him or her because we are waiting on breastmilk.

Can this government get to work already and stop distracting Nigerians. Always looking for a cover to hide their ineptitude. We are tired of all your lies please.

asikiye:
To those of us who travel with Pap, do you also travel with evaporated or powdered milk because i so HATE their fresh milk and in naija/african stores our milk is expensive. if you do, do they seize them at the agriculture? thinking of how to produce enough breastmilk this time around. then any tips on getting one's belly flat quickly? any native tips?

Evaporated milk and even powered milk are sold in the US. Go to Walmart and get as many as you want.

osat82:
thanks,but are pregnant women allowed to drive in the US?

Sure, so long you are comfortable, have you driver's license and understand road signs. Get a car that has a GPS device to help you with directions. I drove in the US but after delivery however, some Naija pregnant mums in the apartment drove , me I was too uncomfortable and in pains to drive.

Bigfidoooo. I always enjoy reading your post. #biggee#

Nigerians are not after all criminals. Someone branded us criminals and some people believed and supported it. We are smart, intelligent and hardworking people. One Nation, Great people!

mamasama:
Seriously doubt that is possible...tried attaching my statement of account to my change of intent letter to the embassy and got a generic mail that my mail will not be opened unless all attachments are removed...think it's a email protection policy to prevent virus attack...

Now, that's serious.

Theodora:
@Nogen

Why would you say I lied?

I was advised on this thread to first go on a vacation since that was the primary purpose of the visa in the first place. And for me to go back in June when I was close to my delivery.

It is obvious you are a very judgemental person who thinks everybody goes around giving the country a bad name.

I only updated because, the officer never even noticed my pregnancy despite my fears that I may be "grilled".

I can see your halo from afar.

If that is the case, I am sorry. I don't judge people but I strongly believe in saying the truth at all times. Once again, I am sorry.

favoredgal:
Don't mind them jor

They asked me to drop off my receipts when exiting so they won't ask me for it again

I did but guess what they still asked upon re entry

Na wao. Maybe the Embassy one is the sure thing. Will scan and send to them all my receipts. Let's see if they will ask me anytime I travel

Na WA o. Congrats dear. You fought a good fight @tktgal

Congratulations Wolefola. Just learnt a new one. Scan your receipts to the Embassy and one would not need to carry receipts about anymore. Good one!

anizi:
Before attacking someone and "assuming" i think the proper thing to do, should be to ask questions and get facts right first.

Madam Anizi, where in my post did I attack her? The forum is about 'Give birth in the US, cost and procedures '. She told us the CBP saw her big tummy and believed her story of going for vacations. Her words not mine.
I still maintain we must endeavour to say the truth at all times and not block ways for those sincere people who would still embark on this journey.

Theodora:
Hello Everyone,

I would like to thank everyone that responded to my question earlier in Part 3.
I would also like to say that my journey to the USA was a breeze. I arrived Apr 1 and despite my obvious belly I was only asked 2 questions

Officer at POE :Why are you visiting the US.

Me: For my vacation

Officer at POE: What do you do?

Me: HR manager at bla bla ......

Officer at POE: ok welcome .Stamps me in for 6months and wishes me good luck.
They didn't check my bag or anything..

I went in through Houston.

Thank you

There was no reason telling him lies. You are obviously pregnant and intend to give birth in the USA. You should have said the truth in my own opinion. Let's stop giving Nigeria a bad name please.

bigfido:
Be advising people not to worry about Chicago POE you hear?! Me that I am a man and have pot belly, they drilled the living day out of me and kept me for almost 4 hours.. Maybe they later discovered that I am a man and the belle na just pot belly and let me go. Never using that POE for anything.
Houston poe that worships Chicago every morning for its wickedness..
Goodluck o

Bigfidoooooo. You just made my night with this advice.

That news from petdaughter broke my heart. May God console your family.

Kingsasian:
Did he actually say FIRST DEBUT

There's SECOND DEBUT na! Lol

Please and please, always save up for accommodation when you are going for birthing.

In fact, for me, I must stay in a rented place or hotel anytime.i go visiting the USA to avoid all these kinds of unnecessary troubles.

Na wa! What a day! Leakytribe, I don't even know what to say right now to console you. Please, be strong. Where there is life, there is hope. How did you get the nanny? For some reasons, hubby and I haven't taken any nanny. We can't just trust them enough and we simply can't shout!

Involve the Police. They will get her. Hope you have her photos. Publish them on both printed and electronic media. She will be found. You can go on Facebook now. Try not to draw attention to yourself but to the thief.


For the lady with a tampered SSN. Please, whatever you can do to secure your son's future please do. Your so called in law didn't remember you are a family when he embarked on this fraudulent path?

And to everyone who's going on this journey. Try and rent a place to stay during your sojourn to avoid stories that touch. Now, your brother in law wants you to pay for the food, water, etc you and your son consumed while in his place..arrant nonsense!!!

nefertitiram:
Make I follow Lady G hail Awon CBP!

shrekandfiona:
All these qwestions spamming this thread sef na wah o. Do you guys have reading phobia

Abeg Bros JW, do the needful biko

Also, I noticed a new trend now. People asking for people they can meet up with. Ehen! !! Be very careful o. Go and give birth peacefully and return peacefully. As for friends, you will make there because you will meet fellow preggies at the doctor's and possibly at the hospital. Stop inviting troubles for yourselves biko.

Congratulations Mrsbw and those who had beautiful POE experiences. These people are vexing o.

bigfido:
Send me a pm. Will be in on Tuesday. But I will have to open and verify what's in the package.

Serious verification noni. Shit happens bro. Better be careful than sorry. Kikikikiki

So no more forex for medical trips This change is bitting o. This is not just fair at all!!!

Congratulations bigfido. God bless your LO.

No doctor is perfect because they are all humans but there are some behaviours that are just no no.

yokus:
Mmmm sigh, na wa o. Pls stand ut ground
Pls is there a way to know if someone is using ur child's SSN for tax return. I remember one of my kids own didnt arrive before i returned to Nig, only for my host to bring the envelope open. Hian. Pls is there a way to confirm !

I don't know yet. Hopefully, someone will come give the answer.

Modath, it's OK sis. This too shall pass.

If I knew it wasn't compulsory to get it now, in wouldn't have gotten for them. Bia Modath and Nerf, you two no try at all. Upon all our chitchats whilst in the US, you didn't mention this part for me. E no good o.

nefertitiram:
What will happen to the tax refunds when it comes out? E go wire d money come 9ja ni?

Infact, where is modath? come and hear ds ssn gist o!

That is what he plans to do but we said we aren't interested . The man just dey para on the phone for almost 30 minutes say I turned it down. That he discussed with his wife before telling us. The wife was positive I was going to agree but he doubted her. He knew I wouldn't agree with it, why is he now upset? After all, wasn't that his expectation of me? I tire o!
