Hello mums and dads in the house.
I ve been a silent reader since July 2015 and have gained much insights through all your contributions even though I already made all of my travel arrangements before finding out about nairaland.

I'm a Dec mum, came into Houston a bit early (sept 3rd) and poe experience was terrible. I was kept for about 3 hours and was grilled like a chicken. They kept asking same questions over and over again. I couldn't understand it, they weren't even aware I was pregnant, I declared it, also declared my $3k dollar cash, Mastercard, hubby's statement of account, doctor s correspondence, email to and from embassy on change of intent, a budget sheet, etc yet the guy said his
supervisor is not convinced and thinking of sending me back. He went through my phones and tablet, searched through my bag and purse, read every piece of paper in my purse. I was baffled, sat there wondering what he was looking for but I remained unruffled. After a while I told him that if I haven't convinced him with all I ve said or showed him then he should do whatever he feels is right. At this point he took my boarding pass and told me to go sit and wait outside that he has decided he was going to get my luggage. I sat outside and was already telling myself welcome back to naija. I got up went into the restroom, said a few words of prayers and came back out.
After a while the guy returned and called me in. Gave me my phones and my documents back and said to ensure all bills paid and keep all receipts too and said I'm free to go. I left there with my feet wobbly from anxiety, hunger and tiredness. What an experience!

Meanwhile I had my 2nd visit with Dr Fagbohun yesterday. He's a great guy. Put my mind at rest about some of my concerns. Apparently he's aware of activities on nairaland and said he gives his best to all of his patients but most of us come in with our opinion and don't listen to advise. Said truly he's busy but most don't come in with questions for him and when u have no questions there's not much he can tell u other than the basics. He advised that patients shld come in with written questions and he's always ready to answer and guide. He spent quite some time with me.

I ll definitely return here to give my delivery experience.
Thanks all. Sorry for the long post.
