That is authomatic win for APC naa

What makes you think so? APC can never win anything in Anambra. Yes, read my lips - NEVER!

APGA got this one.

Please , you all should ignore this motherbleap or whatever he calls himself.

Hmmm! Mothers travelling to give birth now, I don't envy you people at all and I don't know how you are going to do it. Banks will stop the use of ATM cards abroad from January. It is going to be crazy and it doesn't look like this present government has a clue on how to manage the economy.

For those of us who have relatives coming back this season , order as many baby foods and diapers as you would need through them, the rest can be shipped down.

Welcome on.board Luicious.

Phema:
He's very well.

I think I should start warming up ooo.

How are your LOs?

You had better. They are good dear.

LadyGuinivere:
Mbok mae una no de talk this shutting door somethings! #inpepestico's voice
Until I go mark attendance finish collect ma pikin pale e no go work for Baba T o!

Because you are involved, Baba T won't win. You are always in my thought dear and God will soon give you an awesome New Year present.

E-hug to you dear Phema. Hope our baby is doing great. I'm sure you are warming up for your secondary missionary journey before Oga T. shuts the door.

@Popri, thank God for wisdom . Welcome back home.

@hellomosquito, reapply but this time your husband should not go with you. Let him stay at home abeg. He probably caused you this visa

@Shelly, it's well with your daughter and you. I can only imagine what you are going through but God is ever faithful. May he continue to supply you and hubby every ressources you need.

Firsttymum, welcome back home dear. Congratulations to all our new mums and dads. May your newborns be blessed.

This hearing test of a thing sef. When my babies were still in the NICU, a nurse kept telling me about an important test the babies would go through before they got discharged. I kept wondering which test that could be and if it was part of NICU bills, an already paid one or a separate bill.

They never mentioned hearing until I asked for the name and how much it was? They have already wheeled their equipment into the room. I asked them not to please proceed until I was sure of the package. The nurse said 350 dollars per child and I asked if it was compulsory. The response was no. I quickly declined the test , that they would be carried out when we returned to Nigeria.

In all honesty, I would have loved to have the test carried out but when I did the maths, I couldn't just pay that money. When the babies finally got home, I started carrying out my own hearing test on all of them. I kept remembering the case of a Nairlander whose baby failed the test at the hospital and began treatment immediately. That pushed me in conducting my own hearing test. I would make loud noise in the room and watched if the babies would get startled.

My mum was wondering why I wouldnt let the babies have a good sleep. Whenever, I remember my antics, I laugh. God help us make good decisions in life.

@Nogen please check I pmed u immediately yesterday again. When ure chanced tho. Thanks in advance.

I replied since. Check your box or spam.

nefertitiram:
D same with me o! Esp with the way my baby was conceived and I left before I started showing. Thank God she looks exactly like me.
I overheard a neighbour asking another how old my baby is, that if she didn't know better, my baby looks 8mths old and not like a 3mth old. Am sure dey would av been asking if I really gave birth or adopted! But WHO CARES

Really, who cares? My mum announced to some people in the village that I was expecting. I was upset with her. Do you know her response? "I don't want people to say you adopted children since you won't be having them in Nigeria." I told her that I don't give a damn about what people think or say. Who cares really?

neks31:
My dear this is my story !! I didn't have mine too cos I wanted to prove to people dat I gave birth .. Costly mistake I made and I regret it so much!!

It is well dear. I really don't care about what people say because they will always talk.

AmatuRahman:
I was wheeled to secondary inspection with the other nairaland member and waited for some mins before I was called

Congrats dear. But something struck me in your post where you talked about why you didn't give birth to your first baby in the US. The truth is that those who would talk will still talk, even after giving birth here in Nigeria. The earlier we stopped caring about what people say , the better for us. Wishing you the very best in this journey.

Peebles23:
@Nogen how are our babies? Please I pmed u kindly help to reply wen chanced. Thanks in anticipation

I have answered. Good afternoon. Thanks , we are good.

MiddyO:
Thank you Mummy triplets! How are your angels doing?

We are good dear. Congratulations once again.

Congrats MiddyO and other new mums. God bless you and your newborns.

No politician or political party is worth dying for. People should please wise up.

iolite88:
Welcomed my triplets on the 1st of December to the glory of God got discharged 2 days later from The Hospital of Providence East Campus (El Paso). Mama and baby girls are doing great.

Triple congratulations to you sweetie. God bless you and your cuties. Amen

nefertitiram:

Nogen

If u do the math ETC is cheaper o. Aside the fact that the blue Pali won't leave ur sight .

We r besties after all we did ETC

You are so right firsttymum. It's a lot cheaper, especially for a triplet mum like me that spends ×3 for almost everything. Also, you don't have panic attack wondering if your child's (children's ) blue Pali arrived safely. Modath and Nefertitiram, you people didn't invite us abi? Because we are a crowd, eh ? llol

missusadey:
I was told Walmart's parents choice diapers is better than huggies and pampers. I dnt know how true that is. Has anyone tried it out?

Not true. I have used all 3 and I can tell you that Parents choice diapers are not anywhere near huggies and pampers.

neks31:
Pls is there any formula for multiples loll! My first ET was 3 n I got one baby n now the same thing with dz preg... I really need multiples next pls to console our bank accant LMAO! ( I hope u get d code) Lmaooo

Receive them in Jesus name! Amen!

[quote author=ayanuke post=40414828][/quote]Definitely, but for clothes, I prefer seeing what I'm buying. She can do carseats, strollers, diapers, and some other stuffs online. That's why I asked that she pm so I can advise as I remember them.

nefertitiram:
I still see your belly in my mind's eye! You are a superwoman!

Shoutout to all mums of multiples! God is your muscle!

Lol. My sister, no be small thing. We glorify God who makes all things beautiful . Amen to your prayer.

Fruitybranch201:
Thanks Nogen, for always coming to rescue of inexperienced missionaries.
Several people here have said that I should do my shopping when I get into the US, so I guess that has been partially addressed. But you know how it is with triplets; were you really able to shop before delivery?. I will be traveling alone at 23 wks GA, but my mum and husband will come like 2weeks to delivery. My main concern bothers on being able to get all that I require before my trio show up. Pls share your experience and any advice. Thanks a lot.

My pleasure sis. Congratulations dear. As soon as you get there, try and buy all (basic things) that you would need before and just after the babies arrived. After delivery, when you have gotten enough strength and you have people who can help you out with the babies, you can go buy most of the things they will use as they grow. The reason is that you may not be able to shop as much as you would have loved to due to the pregnancy. Movement will become difficult at some point. You can send me a pm so I can give you further tips as I remember them.
Also, if mummy or hubby can make it ealier than that, the better for you. You would need someone beside you most of the time because as you progress, you won't be able to do much anymore. You will become mostly DEPENDENT. Even getting up or laying down on the bed will become quite tasking on your legs and waist. I'm not trying to scare you but it is an amazing experience. Make sure one of them is there with you early enough.

nefertitiram:
Nogen! See your sister oh

Lol.
@ Fruitybranch201, welcome on board sis. Don't fret. Pls s What are your concerns?

abanzi:
Hello Hauz,

Thanks to all contributors here. I have taken time to go through all parts of this educative thread. For those that have used Emergency Travel Certificate (ETC), can you kindly share how it works and the advantage it presents over going for a Nigerian Visa or passport. Not much has been discussed about it although it appears cheaper than the VISA option from what I have read. Are there any special requirements to use it and are there any implications that may arise later if it is used?

No implications except if you didn't make a copy of the ETC before submitting to the Nigeria Immigration in Lagos or Abuja. You will need the photocopy when you go for your child's Nigerian passport here in Nigeria.

nefertitiram:
Azzin too sweet!
Then the overnight delivery stuff was just Jaw dropping cos I had followed up with Obinna to know when it was sent. Then I remember opening the door 1st thing in the morning and seeing the postman sorting mails into the mailboxes. I jokingly asked for any mails for my apartment and he hands me the package with the etc I was like waaaaaaaaattttt!

She's just right on time. Picks her calls, answers her mails and messages right on time.

Nogen


Pls how much is the ETC
And is it original birth certificate?
Plus how many passports do we need to send

2 passport photos, original certificate, letter of consent signed by both parents. I think it's between 250 and 270 dollars.
