Did u have to do Pap smear?
this is one test I'm not sure of. I know she does it almost routinely.
The same time she does d gbs, she prolly does take samples for it too.

Just booked my baby's ticket to Nig and Delta gave me an unbelievable quote of $43.20..
I called from the U.S. so no need to buy it from Nigeria, il pay at the airport on the day of departure.
#feelinghappy# smiley

U'll be shocked to find out that on the day of departure u get to the airport to pay, it'll be 400 and something. Same ish happened when I went to pay. U better call back who u booked it with and pay over the phone. That is the ONLY assurance. Different agents have different stories to tell u

@Shawbabe... good to see you online today.

Please was it your nigerian driver's license you used to drive in ATL or you got the Intl driver's license. If you used the latter, how did you go about it, as I was told they do not issue it in Abuja.

Thank you.
sure you must use international drivers licence ...got mine at VIO office abuja...For like 12k was in a hurry though. ...been using it here with my Google map to navigate. ..been saving me alot for uber. ..etc...

Hello awesome people, i have a question oh, my hubby is in the us presently, but will be in naija by the time i give birth, can i notarize the consent form on his behalf here? or can he do it in the us and give me when we see there in order to avoid spending money and time on sending the documents over to me in us when he gets back. urgentr responses please. thank you all.


No, you can not notarise the consent form on behalf of your husband,thats the essence of him doing it in front of a notary public. The only issue i see with him doing it in the US,is that every info has to be filled in the form before he signs it in front of the notary public and the notary public signs it too., e.g Babys name,babys date of birth etc and at this time you would still be heavily ,except they would allow him to leave it blank which i seriously doubt. So i think your best bet would be him doing it in 9ja when he gets back and send it to you

Our new drivers license can be assessed online on the database. That's what I used last time I was in Houston

Except atl has different laws

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but was the ticket round trip or one way? If your baby has a naija visa in her US passport, she'll have to get a round trip ticket. I got a similar quote earlier this year but had to change my date and when I called back the lady I spoke said they made a mistake with previous quote cos my baby could get a one way ticket with her naija visa and they would've charged me more at the airport for round trip. I eventually paid $190 for round trip and got a refund for $85 a month later for the unused leg of the trip.
Just check again to be xtra sure.


Is this peculiar to Delta? Cuz I definitely bought a one way ticket to Naija on a Nigerian visa no passport on BA

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by Enyinne(f): 1:28pm On Nov 17, 2015
Yes ur right Nef, it's truly a scam. Forget about d mins and just buy d $19 plan and buy boss revolution to make calls. Those ultra people mins stuff does work.
nefertitiram:


The 1000 free mins is a sham cos it only calls landline.
Buy the ultramobile plan of $19, top up with intl up credit and you are fine cos a min is 6cents to Nigeria.

Hello All,
Who can share their experience in ATL airport with regards CBP. My wife hasnt used there before and this our 2nd baby. She has her zero balance hospital receipts and documentation.
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by jacksparow(m): 2:10pm On Nov 17, 2015
Some major airlines have that service on their website. if u havent signed up for their frequent flyer program, do that and look for other services offered by the airline.

I used ATL for my 1st last year. They are polite but thorough and chances are she will be asked to go to secondary inspection. Check my posts or just search for ATL Poe on this thread if you want a more varied view.

Delta i think. cause traveling with infants on lap within the US is free (with Delta)but not on international route esp since they partner with Virgin, KLM, Airfrance. 10% of the Adult's ticket is the standard most airlines should charge for infant on the Lap. Delta encourages u to buy a full ticket for the infant if u traveling international so you can earn miles and that is one reason you dont find the column for infant/child btw 0-23months or 2-17 years on their website when you book . But on BA or Emirates I never had such issues

Haven't you done any routine test during your antenatal so far?

You should have done most of them by now

I actually did some routine test, but all in my case file since we paid the hospital directly, they actually took our blood and the result is sent straight to O & G from the lab, will see if I will be allowed to make copies, tanks
