Hmmmnn. All these broad day light lies some women tell here. How can you read through the thread and come back to ask 'stewpidt kweshions'? Smh

My chest hahahhahahha! U "zay" ? Hahhahhahah

Shebi I and Nefe just replied accommodation close to oakbend ... As in same page another person who has "read through" is asking same question.
I need more sugar in my tea #kermitmode

Thank you darlyn,

Please does anyone have doctor Godwin Onyeama's phone number. Sent an email to him using the email address I got here almost a week ago and he has not responded.

OR

Please how do I go about booking an appointment with Mount Sinai Hopital Chicago/ Dr. Godwin and get the cost of delivery? Please anyone that has this info should help ... abeg!


Thank you.

Popri:


Check google and you will see a whole list, contact them and look at their reviews also
People here hardly use birth centres so u may not find info on that esp in Chicago

shrekandfiona:

Let me suggest places for her; the galleria, West Oaks mall, West chase shopping center, houston zoo, houston museum and aquarium are also close to the zoo, memorial city mall etc. She can use GPS to locate their exact miles/minutes drive from her location to have an idea of the distance cost.

Thank u mumdearest i appreciate.
1) I have contacted Dr Fagbohun via his email i got on this platform, that's why i asked about the nearest accomodation thing cos i remembered someone mentioning the East side accomodation is a bit far or so. Pardon me if i missed any other details.
2) I also found out about MIHS through this platform and contacted them, but when i didnt get a response that's why i decided to ask fellow mum's here.
3) I asked about Colorado cos i have someone there which i might consider if i find something reasonable which i didnt, that prompted my asking on this platform.
I understand how annoying it could be if one ask questions already answered that's why i took my time and thought carefully before asking the few i did. That notwithstanding, lets be polite to each other in our responses; no offence meant to anyone, u never can tell i could become your next door neighbour in no-man's-land. I apologise if any of my questions angered anyone on this platform.

U sef de vex o!

On this boredom issue - if there is no medical reason to travel early and you have the heart, there's no point rushing to the US - especially if you plan to be honest at POE.

If you're gangster like me, travelled late and had my baby 3 weeks after arrival (flew delta - so no restriction) - I had week 1 to rest and the other 2 weeks spent shopping. Leaving when my baby is 4 weeks - 2 weeks for postpartum relaxation and adjusting to baby, 1 week for document processing, last 1 week for final shopping and off I go home!

Mount Sinai will not give you any letter till you arrive

My dear, if you'd gone through the thread (even the last 5 to 10 pages) you'd find your answers

1. Springsofjoy urbanliving was all over one of those pages for a while

2. MIHS has stopped taken on patients that live outside of their jurisdiction for a while now, you'd know that if you indeed went through the thread as a lot of people have mentioned it

3. Sorry I'm stomped on Colorado

Long and short, go through the pages, it not only makes an interesting read, it has all the information you need and then some.

Good luck

I was delivered of a bouncing baby boy on Saturday at Houston Northwest medical center
Will share the birth story when I'm a bit free.

One love

Congrats dear.

lollyberry:
Hello all
I intend using oakbend medical centre
Anyone with an accomodation details very close to the hospital should help me with the details here is my email add lollydys@yahoo.com
@phema @firsttymum @justwise
Biko

Pls ooo, I thought you said springOJ lifted your accommodation burden not long ago. Why the sudden change if mind?

shawlar:
Hey everyone, I need some info. My wife is getting very bored in Houston... The person that was meant 2 assist with transporting her 4 shopping, sightseeing etc is currently unavailable (for a while at least). I seem to remember sum1 here saying he/she has a trusted contact in houston that provides transportation services that are not as expensive as the regular cabs... Kindly share/re-share contact details pls


@firsttymum, abeg do ur magic. departure 3rd week of sept - return last week of oct.. preferably united. TY

Try uber

please tell me. can one do interview at embassy with accomodation and doctors' correspondence for a particular state..
and then make new travel plans for another state and hospital details. i am a lil confused @olokings post here.
wont it look like change n story of POE
thanksss

olokings:


@ifax, travel date is July 31st...trust I'll have concluded hospital n secured doctor's correspondence by time of travel. .....everything set. .just still sieving thru info attacks 4 now watching to mk a decision in wch hospital to use. .either arlington med centre - Dallas or del sol med centre - el paso..
Just watching out for fellow NL experiences who may ve used arlington since del sol is quite clear cut.

shrekandfiona:

Your wife should register with uber, for now it's the cheapest mode of transport without stress. The metro buses here have specific hours it berths at each stop so not advisable.

I have visited houston zoo, the galleria and so many shopping malls here that my host that has lived here for over 15 years hasn't had the chance to visit

Let me suggest places for her; the galleria, West Oaks mall, West chase shopping center, houston zoo, houston museum and aquarium are also close to the zoo, memorial city mall etc. She can use GPS to locate their exact miles/minutes drive from her location to have an idea of the distance cost.

Thanks @firsttymum, favouredgal & shrekandfiona for the uber suggestion. I had already told her to give it a try but she's not really a techie person so shes kind of reluctant... Anywayz, i guess when shes bored enough she'll jump on it otherwise she'll hold on till my coz finishes with his exams... Cheers all

Honey boo the only reason you are confused is because apparently u have not read the thread.
Sincerely, I believe the best sorta help one can offer is teaching another the know how. So many stories on top stories of people that changed hospitals are here.
Note: I say this with all love and sincerity, if u refuse to study this thread but depend on handouts u will NOT get the visa and you'l run into hitches and troubles later and join the 'pls help me, its urgent ' bandwagon.
Peace

@Financefitness, I remember ur POE experience. I also remember thinking 'this woman get mind oh' when reading it. Like u said above, a person needs to have heart & be gangster like you in order to attempt it. Unfortunately/fortunately for my wife, she doesn't possess the required combo, so make she dey bask in the boredom small while me I chill here with my bottle of cognac which she would have otherwise gone to hide

I can't stop wondering why you bluntly refused to read through! Gush! You write very well so reading and understanding should not be a problem.

shawlar:


I had already told her to give it a try but she's not really a techie person so shes kind of reluctant...

She doesn't have to be tech savvy to use the uber app na All she needs do is download the app on her phone and register using her email, her atm card, phone number etc. That's all.

Any time she wants to go out, Google the address, request for the uber driver and voila he meets you up wherever you are. You would even be seeing him coming to you via GPS and it's the closest driver that picks you up. You don't have to wait long, max time I have waited for a driver was 6mins.

Anyway in case she doesn't wanna go out maybe waiting for you to come, she can try shopping online on payless, burlington, macys(they have a one day sales on Friday &Saturday), Ross is good too but I don't think they do online shopping and of course walmart.

Am here alone too for now but I go out all day, no dulling

Greetings uptown17.
Ref ur post on the issue raised.
Pls note the following:
1. I already had a visa wch was used for vacation once
2. Sent a change of intent letter to the embassy even though I clearly stated that I'm gonna be using del solution medical centre buh ended up using dallas (not even doctors hospital buh instead due to complications I settled with methodist hospital Richardson).
3. You have a right to change your mind about ur choice and Location of birthing just don't come off as an inconclusive person.

Now in view of the above
If you are actually gonna be applying for visa
Just get correspondence for accommodation flight doctor hospital for one location.
Now when visa has been secured you can decide where you finally wanna birth.
Just be sure that your correspondence quotes are in sync with what you got in your bank account aii.


Nice of you to have read. ...imma look out for ya. Just keep reading and feel free to buzz the community for clarification.
Best of luck.

Lady G I totally agree with you. I was a novice as well and reading through the thread gave me so much info, priceless I must say what others pay millions to get.

My hubby also got his 2 years visa on a virgin passport o. Unlike me, he isn't exposed, does not even know nairaland but I fed him with info I gathered here.

The best is to ignore questions that have answers already all over the thread. I can't take panadol for another man's headache

Hey uptown17...
Seriously meehn. ..too many poeps have called you out and tossed u gauntlets. ...

Come to think of it guys. .
It is safe to say that NL is addictive. .
Can't imagine within a space of 11 days I have been on the air for 4 days outta it. .yet the first thin I do when I check in (whether into the aircraft or hotel is "how can I access wifi) where is not available I roam my line on data not caring the cost.
Just so I'd keep up with the nairalanders.

It's high time I get a cure for this. ...maybe get another hobby. .lol
Knowledge us power yo. ..

# yawns. ... 02:40 am and I'm still peeking at the thread knowing I still got a second leg of 7 hrs flight tmro mrng after a whooping 14hrs just concluded. ...

nefertitiram:


Av been here since April. Its like I shd pull my hair out. Go with your instincts, cos in may, I went into preterm labour with an infection gone unnoticed. had like 5 docs on my case, even from NICU! No sign, nothing! Just one day mad fever then labour pains! Imagine it happened of I was still in 9ja.

Then the remaining months have been booooooring! Highlight of my weeks is antenatal. Lol

So if she's staying 5mths, she must have her reasons
