@yemmyfinest do you have your visa yet any plan of hospital and Dr you are using


@olorieka yes i already have a visa i applied sometimes around April this year and i was given 2years.I wasn't preg then. The VO asked me if i was planning to go medicals i said no that i was going for vac with my family. Then i haven't discovered NL

So what i intend doing is to write a letter to the embassy but by that time i would have made up my mind on the hospital and Dr and probably make a part payment.

I just have two hospitals on my mind for now which are Oakbend and west houston.
Accommodation pampered stay or soul con for now.
What about you?.

Regards

I guess it depends on the hospital, I used Providence Hospital in Washington Dc and all my bills came as one, epidural and all, they even deducted plus my daughters bill, in fact they have what they call international program where you deposit 12k dollars before they attend to you, in all I got a refund of about 1k dollar, so I guess its close to what drafrican's bill looks like.

Drafrican try to request for a return ticket for your child, it comes cheaper than one way, I used airfrance back they initial bill was around 300, and I was to pay at the airport, but the lady was nice to mention to me that it will be less if she does return. You could try that out too.

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by yemmyfinest: 5:36pm On Aug 20, 2015
@ olorieka
Okay.
Oct 5 is noted will pray along with you and i believe the good Lord has gone ahead of you.
You will find favor has many has found at the American Embassy.
The Lord will ordain your footsteps to the right person(VO) and will speak through you.Just be claim,truthful.

I believe you have read the thread very well to Learn from other people's experience and you will come back here to share yours too.

Thanks for the piece of inform from the hospital i am yet to contact any of the hospitals its only accommodation that am looking at now.
Part payment doesn't have anything to do with issuing of visa in most cases.

Please can u send me the quotation from oakbend and contacts and that of soul cont. olayemi21@gmail.com,

The infant ticket is a percentage of your own ticket price so that $300 is about the right price from my calculations. It usually ranges between $250- $350. BA fees is usually high. But place a call to their customer service center and see how much a return ticket for the infant would cost. Who knows it might be cheaper as someone suggested. If you call and they give you a price you can hang up, call again and you'd get a different operator who can give you another price to compare with. I say this cos some of the operators are not very knowledgeable. So its like getting a 2nd quote. Lol.

hi guys

i hope you will be able to help a sister here.
I've been diagnosed with a low lying placenta hence, preventive c-section for me at 37 weeks. undecided
problem here is i'm at risk of hemorrhage at any point in the third trimester and God forbid, if it happens before 37 weeks, the baby would be premature and would need extra care.
do you guys have any idea how much it could cost ? Is there any way to get a package paiement that would cover this eventuality?
We already have EU citizenship but really wanted to give more options to our L.O. Now we're really wondering if it's worth the risk cry

Thanks for any help/advice you could give !

Congrats on your successful POE but there is absolutely nothing like no limitations on a visiting visa. Only immigrants and United States citizens have such privilege. When you are less busy you can find out your limits here:

Shawbabe:
Hello my people,

I am safely back in Naija oh. Operation birth is complete for me, thank God it ended in praise.

Just 3 important tips for first time mums coming back with their infants:

1) Thou should not buy thy infant ticket with American office of thy airline, or thou shall pay $400+ for a one way ticket. Buy thy infant ticket from the naija branch and get someone to pay them in naira for u.

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 thous shall not be running to thy gate with yelling baby in thy arms. For thou shall apear like a mad person.

That's it folks! Till next pikin is conceived, thanks for everyone's contribution and for the laugh thru my final weeks of pregnancy oh. Love all of una. kiss

.

Shawbabe did your baby use naija passport to travel back.

Did you buy one way ticket for your baby from naija.
Thanks for your assistance.
