Hello my people,

2) Purchase an Infantino baby carrier coz thou shall need it @ the airport, for thy stroller and car seat shall be taken from thee and checked in all the way to naija. So if u don't wanna carry ur baby for hand thru layovers and security, buy one! Or thy hand shall break from carrying baby.

3) Thou should arrive at ur departure airport 3 hours ahead of time to make sure thou gets preference for bassinet. Very important. Also that[b] thous shall not be running to thy gate with yelling baby in thy arms. For thou shall apear like a mad person.
[/b]

this your number 3 made me to laugh out so loud . I can imagine running to the gate with yelling baby and pple be looking at you somehow, it actually happened to me. But this your number (2), I was able to check in only my car seat but carried the stroller up till the door of d plane and wen we stopped for layover we collected the stroller and used it again till we boarded d next flight. Dunno if it differ wt airline. Welcome back.

Try Kelina hospital in Gwarinpa. I had my baby there. Their services are very good I was really impressed.

Kelina is close but can I know how much u used for registration and pls do dey organise group antenatal class for preggy women just like government hospitals or it'd one in one appointment with your doctor. Thanks

christabeli:
Try federal staff.

thanks but I know about federal staff but it's a bit far from me. I was looking for a closer option.

Hello sweet mama's in the house, I need help with good hospital in gwarimpa axis and it's neighborhood where I can register for antenatal. I moved recently to Dis area. The hospital I used before is quite far from me now. Thanks #teamoctober#

Everybody Houston, Houston Houston,

All alone in this big fat lonely windy city...

. Sorry dear, but you can attract people to Chicago If U eventually find cheap birthing package. We won't mind changing our ticket and heading to Chicago asap lol plus U still have a long way to go before U are due. Try and find something to keep you busy.

Nothing beats my KLM for 180k
hehehehe! But e don pass! Promo ended March 31st

I didn't hear of this promo. Am still waiting for awoof promo ticket to buy.

Phema:
Does the bolded also apply to dollar accounts?

No

DeeandGLady:
Yeah but you can't pay a bill that is over $300 online or via POS per day that is the main problem its just annoying, Imagine you go to shop and just an item cost $400 how do you want to pay for that, that of the don't exceed $50,000 a year is fine by me. Any way my plan is hold cash and go with like 3 master cards simple.

daily international limit on POS is #1,000,000 ( or its foreign currency equivalent), Web transaction #500,000 or its equivalent. The $300 is for atm cash withdrawal.

Thanks to @ proudmum38, modath and ummtwin2

Thanks ozycy! Its a private arrangement. Right now its not available because my friend will be taking over when i leave. yes it is less than 15mins to walmart, ross and many other stores. My doc charged 1600. Baby sykes( dr zimmerman) For transportation, i used yellow cab for most of my trips cos the hospital and docs office were also about 15mins from the house. The environment was and is very safe.

. I sent you a pm, pls respond.

nomanicole:
Pls every detail will really help. A friend of mine used the hospital last year but stated with relatives. Though the quote she gave me for her doctor is cheaper. Thanks

. Thanks a lot, its actually the same doctor my friend used, and she will be using him again by July. I just hope before we come the price won't go up more. I will be coming by September GOD willing, guess I can still arrange with the person. How's the apartment or house and what services are rendered. I will pm you now.

. Congrats, taking care of two babies all by yourself, you are a Supamum. The LORD is your strength.

[quote author=Omodaraju post=31264501][/quote]. Yes dear, I ve been here and am still here. Lol. Am on another birthing journey ooo. . I had my baby a year ago.

[quote author=TeesMom post=31

Any Sept/ Oct mums in the house?

Present.

FinanceFitness:
Lol, yes o. They will have 15/16 months between them though.

And they will both be on the same visa - lol, I will certainly be interviewed when it is time to renew!

. Oh yeah, I tot I was the only one already preparing for another birthing journey and using the same visa for 2 babies. Though my oda baby will be 20months older. Let's go there

jany:
whats d minimum start up amount

. 40 Million naira

weaseloo:
I agree with you too. Most times the recommended induction is not necessary. I too was induced with my first, reason also that the baby was big. Labour stalled and I ended up with an UNPLANNED c-section. Baby was not even up to 4kg.

. i just want to add to this cos I had similar experience. I was also told my baby was big (4.1) and was advised to take induction cos I was passed due date, I told my doc to gv me one week more and wen d one week was up, I was scheduled for induction d next day I carry vex go home and kept exercising dat evening and eventually started contracting dat same night and had my baby very early in d morning and baby's weight wasn't up to d claimed weight. Dem Oyibo doctors always want to rush you and get baby out by all means. Abeg where are all dose my mamas that had their babies 2013 ending and 2014 beginning., una babies don old ooo, una never begin to think of another baby? Abi una don born finish (oyibo style, where u gv birth to only one or two kids)

Miemiecious:
Thanks
i went with my husband & child cos they were going for B1/B2 to visit after my delivery
Mine was B2.
We were asked abt our job.....we responded
Why we were travelling.........we responded that for vacation & to give birth
Asked why we want to give birth in US..........for quality health services
Asked for documentation from US doctor..........i presented doctor's appointment letter, medical bills & budget sheet
He steered at those documents for a while & said we were not eligible
And that'a all.

. Adding to wat segbas asked, - -- have you travelled together with your hubby and baby? OR - is this the first time u ll be leaving the country as a family? I had similar experience wen I applied with my whole family even dou most of us had virgin passport and was denied. I later applied wt my mum and was given. So I suggest u apply alone first. Cos if u apply soon without much change in circumstances, u may be denied again cos the VO will most likely ask u what have changed since your last application.

forevermine:
Please a quick question( can't find the page where someone posted all the airline policies/restrictions regarding preggies. Can someone please help with that?
Also please has anyone used Lufthansa to Houston? How was the experience?
Thanks once again, and may God bless everyone richly.

. Congrats Forevermine. I flew Lufthansa exactly one year ago, I didn't make any special seat selection but am sure dey probably saw my big bump and gave me a cool seat where I cud stand and stretch as I liked. Dou the second leg of the journey from Germany to houston was with United airline and everything was just opposite ( tight seat, hostess) . While coming back to Nigeria, I used Lufthansa all tru from houston to Germany to Nigeria. I didn't book for bassinet ahead but was given immediately we got into d flight. I paid 30k for d baby's ticket.

weaseloo:
Thanks for your response. I will go with my statements as well.

. It's been so long I posted here. It's good to see that the thread is growing everyday by day. Just to chip in my thought @ Weaseloo it's been well known that houston is a POE full of drama and pple tend to avoid it or be fully armed. Carrying $4000 maybe number 2 reason why you may be taken to secondary inspection. I had similar experience sometime January 2014 and was delayed for over 8hrs. I had abt $5000 while my doctors letter bill stated abt $8k. Even though I told them I also had $5000 in my card but I think dey really believe in cash at hand. I also know sb dat was sent back for going wt $1k even though she wasn't der for child birth. Si my advice is that if u must go tru houston, you should try as much as possible to carry enof cash as much as u can. Thanks

Pls great importers, will post offices open up till 24th December, 2014? Cos na that day I wan go collect my Christmas cloth.
