Dear House,

I am using West houston birth center.its basically for natural birth. Although, in case of complications they are just 1km from west houston memorial hospital. i have correspondence from the birth center and that is what i intend applying for my visa with. The total cos for delivery, labs, prenatal and postpartum care is 4000 dollars, and with discounts can reduce to about 3,300. I also bo0ok an hotel near the birth center. I hope i am good to go. Please advice

Hi Dear, i'm currently in Houston, using Houston North West Hospital. Dr's fee is 1,700 inclusive of tests. Hospital bill is 3,500 for CS. Epidural is 750. Not sure about Paediatrician yet. Cldnt get a price. I hope this helps.

Quick question to 2nd (and more times) mothers....pls how does one stop the chances of having a big baby? As in what can I do to reduce the chances of that happening? Because that will mean CS and I don pay for vaginal .
Of course my priority is the best delivery for my child, but can I do anything to greatly reduce that chance?

dunwun:

Hello everyone, this is for everyone who is in Peaceful22 situation and thinking of sending a letter of intent to the US embassy......... Below is a copy of the reply i got from the US embassy yesterday after sending a letter of intent:...............

" [b]Thank you for your inquiry.

Please note that there is no legal requirement to inform us that you are seeking to give birth in the United States or that your purpose of travel has changed. The Customs and Border Protection, a branch of USCIS, determines a traveler’s eligibility of entry to the U.S, you should be prepared to demonstrate to the immigration officer at the port of entry why you are seeking medical treatment and that you have logistical and financial plans for the treatment.

We recommend that you review the regulations on non-immigrant aliens entering the United States for purposes of childbirth at https://help.cbp.gov/app/answers/detail/a_id/882/~/visit-the-u.s.-while-pregnant-and-the-risks-involved and plan accordingly. Please you should not stay in the U.S. longer than you are permitted by Customs and Border Protection at the port of entry. The Department of Homeland Security at the port of entry will determine your eligibility to enter the United States on any travel.

If you choose to give birth in the U.S., we advise you to bring evidence of payment, both when you enter the U.S. on this visit, and at your future U.S. visa interviews.

Sincerely,

@Peaceful22, I hope this answers your question.

justwise:
Then you got nothing to worry about, just make your hospital arrangements and keep all your communications with the Dr/hospital and receipt of payment for POE.

justwise:
Are you serious or joking?

Lovely mums please I need your advise. I and my family got US visa November, 2014 with the intention of going on vacation this summer ie October/sept. Just this month I realised am 2 weeks pregnant (unplanned though), this means by October I should be due 4 delivery. Please my question is do I have to write a letter to the embassy stating am going to give birth since I didn't mention it at the time of interview? Thank you.
