No be over hypin oh. Medela is very good. Someone just mentioned Evenflo too atleast she experienced it but if u go online and read reviews u ll kno that even if others maybe good, Medela has better reviews it's just that it's expensive. I used Tommee tippee and I had to return it cos it was not good at all IyawoToBe: |

demiiii: I would advice that your husband should reapply and go for the interview just after you have gone and his reason for travelling should be that he is going to join his wife who is having a baby there.There is no big deal about it,there are people on the thread that were denied visa on 2/3 diffrent occations and were finally given ,and most of these denials were within 6months, so your husband does not have an issue. Did you say he was denied because he was going to a state where he knew no one,what happened to hotel accomodation reservation or dint he make a hotel reservation? I would advice him to try Abuja this time around,though i doubt it makes much diffrence anyway,but lets believe the ppl that say they are nicer VO'S in Abuja. If he is asked about his last interview,he should be truthful and tell them exactly what transpired,because they will have it on record. If asked where he will be staying,he should give them the same address you did,since his reason for travelling it to be with you during child birth He should go with the Following: Photocopy of your passport information page and visa page. Your hospital and doctors correespondence. Evidence to show he can afford the trip & to show ties to home country e.g. bank statements, Cof O of landed property,houses etc Evidence to show what he does for a living e.g. letter of employment,pay slip,letter from his employer stating he is going on vacation, but if he owns his own business ,he should go with documents to prove this. 1 Like |

If you are buying electric, pls know that US electric system is different from ours. The one my sister bought ended up getting spoilt while using with converter. Better to order from UK or check the voltage. Also Tommee Tippee closer to nature electric one is very good. pattyreal: 1 Like |

@Demi2000 and gratefulheart88, pls for arik, I read on the website that you have to bring your medical report to them at least 48hrs b4 your intended flight. Did you both do this or did you just go to the airport on the day of your trip and check in the normal way? demi2000: |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Nita2013: 11:21am On Mar 18, 2015 |

I did not use a step down with my Evenflo electric dual breast pump. |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Nobody: 12:03pm On Mar 18, 2015 |
The Medela freestyle advanced double electric was my saving grace when I couldn't directly breastfeed my son due to severe latching issues(severely cracked, painful and bleeding nips, forgive my tmi). It was specifically recommended to me by the lactation consultant at Del Sol Medical where I had my baby. I got it for about $270 at babies r us. I also ordered extra accessories (it has quite a number of them)b4 I left the U.S. and since I've been back, I've used it with a step down transformer and no issues. I also use the battery pack quite frequently as per NAija power issues and also use the car pack when I go to work and have to pump. In my opinion, no other pump can survive the rigors through which I've put my Medela cos imagine that ure exclusively pumping from when baby was 3weeks till now at 4months. As per the buggy, it was extremely useful for my airport waka and connecting flights ish apart from my waka in us of course. Since I've been back, I use it for a very bumpy walk only on those days(mostly weekends) when the weather inside was extremely hot and baby is just too cranky. 4 Likes 1 Share |

To God be the Glory. My mother went for visa interview today, she was granted and was told to come back on Tuesday for her passport. Thanks to good people of this thread for their help and openess, I used most of Sayoberry and Olokings experience to tutor her. Despite the fact that she carried almost all the documents in the whole house to the place, she was only asked a copy of my visa. She went with my birth certificate, my naming ceremony pix, 1st, 5th and 10th year birthday anniversary pix, convocation, wedding pix, my dad death cert, her retirement docs, statement of acc, doctors correspondences, hotel reservation, my confirmed ticket, and a host of others. The interview went like this VO- what's your purpose of travelling Mum- To take care of my grandchild VO- where is your child Mum- presently in Nigeria but travelling in april( under contact, I wrote my name and d hotel address with my naija fone no- guessed he checked am still around) VO- what do you do for living Mum- am a retiree VO- where is your husband Mum- late (filled her as a widow) VO-sorry abt that Mum- thanks dear VO- can I have ur daughter copy of visa Mum- handed it to her VO- who is sponsoring your trip Mum- daughter has booked accomodation but am paying for flight VO- Congratulations, pick up your visa on tuesday at Isolo. Mum- thanks Thanks to everybody, Phema- I dey hail o, my personal person 6 Likes |
