@ Bsharon, We dey wait ooo...
Please hurry kwa...



Hello , Sorry for the delay in my part 2.
My bills as follows :
Cesarean section Elective - $3,780 Uncomplicated this package covers mother and baby's stays,for 3 days.

Epidural - $1,500 flat rate for normal delivery or C/S.

Payment for delivery in methodist hospital sugarland is mandatory you pay epidural using or not.it is refundable when you don't use it.

Pediatrician fee - $200 if using Dr Egbe it could be more if u allow the hospital choose a Doctor for your baby.

Lab tests - After delivery mother and baby $91,after a 50% discount.

I decline hearing test for my baby thou I was lucky the pediatrician ran the test then found where I signed declining it. So I got it free grin.

That was all I paid no suprises.
I Got my zero balance from the hospital going through the billing department ask after Sarah ,she was of great help to expedites my zero balance.

Phema:


Truth is; if that law is passed, it will affect both illegal immigrants and visitors. I don't see it being passed anytime soon though. It's going to take awhile, loads of deliberations and all.

No Presidential candidate that has nursed that intention ever won anyways. Trump won't be the first. cool

Tvegas and others waiting for their babies to start school first. . .make una hurry up ooo, dem wan close gate border. grin

That law is never going to see the light of day & its not cos i'm "guilty" as charged, its cos it will involve a constitutional ammendment which is abhorrent to the average American...

Americans like to make a lot of noise about many issues but wont do much.

i really don't think you should book with wakanow if you are going for child birth. Try to call the airlines directly and book a flight that is flexible i.e you can make changes at little or no fee. if you book with a travel coy and you need to change your flight, it could cost you a whole lot. even adding a baby to your own itinerary could be expensive as well. I know travelstart has a package that can make you make changes at no fee but you pay the difference in tax and fares. all this travel agencies book the cheapest flights ticket they can find for you which comes with little or no benefits. you can also try www.priceline.com as well.

Hello house,

in the spirit of giving back.

I had my visa appointment on monday. Getting the appointment itself was war. I had previously scheduled an appointment for lagos (Aug 3rd) since july 4th. Only for me to get an email from the embassy dat dey have postponed my appointment till Aug 25th. and i need to travel by 1st week in Sep lastest ( before i am 34 weeks).

Na so i used faith to cancel the thg. Filled another DS-160 form, paid another visa fee and chose abj. Someone told me to start monitoring the appointment page from 12am everyday to get a closer date, na so i resume work like yahoo boy. I finally got for Aug 17th but unfortunately or fortunately i could not book DH's appointment with my own. So i booked him for another day( waiting for testimony on his). Na so i carry my kaya. Abj here i come. Our local airline said dey dont carry more dan 28 weeks, n since my belle
