Congrats @Toludo

I keyed into your prayer with a resounding "Amen" as my long awaiting baby in my womb just stopped growing and I am scheduled for evacuation tomorrow. I have cried and questioned God but I have learned to understand that even how the conception became possible in the first place is a miracle. My faith is that God who made it possible for others including your wife will answer us again and this time it will be permanent.

Congrats once more grin.

This kind of news will just make someone be sad for the rest of the evening. Have you sought 2nd opinion?

I hope the Lyrics of the Song Below will encourage you; please take heart.

"If He Did It Before (Same God)"

Hey, if he did it before, he can do it again
Hey, if he did it before, he can do it again
1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, go

I won't give in, no I'm not gonna turn around, yeah
I know I'll win, if I don't give up now
I am waiting for my change to come in I know
He will come through, this is how I'm so sure

If he did it before, he'd do it again
Same god right now, same god back then
If he did it before, he'd do it again
Same god right now, same god back then

(I've got power) I've got power, I know I will overcome
Greater is in me, the fight ain't fair cause I've already won
And yes I may fall, may get knocked down to the ground
I know I'll rise up, this is how I'm so sure

If he did it before, he'd do it again
Same god right now, same god back then
If he did it before, he'd do it again, yeah
Same god right now, same god back then

Please be, encouraged, this is not the first storm you've been through
You've been through worse, you didn't come this far just to lose
He knows your needs, so take no thoughts on what you lost
God will restore, and this is how I'm sure

If he did it before, he can do it again
Same god right now, same god back then
If he did it before, he can do it again
Same god right now, same god back then.

He is same God right now
He is, He is same God right now
He is, same God right now

Same God right now
Same God back then
If He did it before,
He can do it again

His ways are higher than our ways, and his thoughts higher than ours.

He went before you to make every crooked way straight. We cannot see the future, only God can predict what the future will bring (that coincidentally is the meaning of my baby's name), but be rest assured that his thoughts towards you are thoughts of good and not of evil. He knows the end from the beginning, so he decided to save you from some future troubles, and bring only blessings your way.

Very soon, you will sing a new song. Don't worry eh! Just keep gathering all your info and possibly get your visa down. Once your next baby is conceived, you will have had all your plans set. You will have an easy birth and a good child that will outlive you, even unto your old age.

Ehugs, God be with you. Amen

Found it for ya

Here's her post:

mrsbw:
okay guys..wanted to wait to be debited before confirming the Form A stuff.

I intend using Dr La and WHMC. WHMC does not accept wire transfers, so I got Dr La's wire transfer details.

I went to Stanbic IBTC on Thursday for the processing.

Documents required:
a) Letter of reference from specialist doctor, or specialist hospital in Nigeria -
b) Completed Form A
c) Passport, visa and air ticket
d) Correspondence with overseas specialist doctor stating the cost of treatment etc.

Filled the form; requested for payment of doctors fees only (paid $3,000) and included my doctor's bank details. The requirement doesn't state just hospitals can be credited. It only states that it must be for medical treatment. So, I guess if you can provide your doctors correspondence (with his letterhead) and they can match it to the bank details. I guess they can also check the doctor online if they want.

Got debited the ffg this morning: Transaction: 598500; telex charge: 4000; offshore charge: $25 = 4987.50; Bank commission 0.5% = 3142.13
Total was 610629.6 which came to about N203.5 per $.

So you can actually pay for just doctor or doctor and hospital if your hospital accepts transfers.

Noticed in the CBN requirement page that if the doctor includes cost of maintenance, that cost of treatment can be made payable to the hospital and the cost of maintenance to the applicant if the applicant is an outpatient; but I did not explore that oh. Only paid doctor's bill.

Also, I had initially gone to UBA and they said they dont process Form A for childbirth. GTB said I'll be on a wait list for at least a month. Went to stanbic after @onlineise post on Wednesday, and it got processed in 48hours. Thanks so much @onlineise you are a life saver!

Pls remember to collect your telex copy from the bank as proof of payment

Hope this helps cc: @biollar1 @chloe7 @kemo88 @beautyx5

Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by Nobody: 12:48am On Mar 03, 2016
I am intending using Dr. La. Please can you share what accomodation you used? How much and contact details? I sent you PM but no response yet from you...




Toludo:
The much awaited Testimony arrived few hours ago to the Glory of Almighty God. DW & LO are doing fine.

Breakdown Below (Bills so Far):
Hospital (WHMC) $3,000 VD, Dr. La $2,500, Initial Visit $145, Ultrasound Anatomy $250, 3rd Trimester Hiv $50, Pap Smear $225, Group B Strep $50, Another Test $80 (replacement for Glucose Tolerance Challenge which was done in 9ja).
The following Tests were done in 9ja: Rubella, Blood Group & RH type, Hepatitis B with Surface Antigen, VDRL/syphilis, genotype & Glucose Tolerance Challenge.

Special Thanks to God for his grace and mercies and for every contributor to this thread, I say Thank You. Everything was a Breeze, from Visa Interview to getting PTA & entering Houston POE without any question asked (Not even why are you in the US?) and to the arrival of our March 1st Baby.

Let me also add a word of encouragement for folks who have experienced loss in whatever form, I decree in the name of Jesus, You will recover all. DW had a MC sometimes last year and it was a very agonizing period for us, fast-forward to 2016, we are testifying to the gracious mercies of the Lord and his wondrous works.

To all expectant Fathers and Mothers, Na so so good news we go dey hear by the grace of God.
My God is a good God, Yes he is smiley

Dear @chijiuche, I sent you nairaland generic message please reply before you go for the evacuation.

I believe in God he does the impossible because that is who He is.

I am praying with you and I believe in Miracles because God is not a man that he should lie or a son of man that should repent and whatever He does is good. The devil is a liar and your joy and everyone of us on this forum, our joy shall never be cut short in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

God bless you and the baby in your womb. You shall be called a Mother of a great nation in Jesus Christ name, Amen.

Regarding paying a lot for water, I stopped by a coffee shop and begged for a lil hot water to make my toddlers cereal & I was told I had to pay even as i mentioned it's for a baby. Sadly d water I had in her flask had gone cold so i had no choice but to pay $3 for a few drops of hot water. I felt pained! But hey, dis is America!

And for Oakbend patients, hospital bill has just been increased from $2300 to $3200.Went for my Dr's visit today & wanted to pay for my cousin when I was informed. The price increase don't affect patients who were given d old rate & have pd. These guys don't know how every $$ means a lot to all Naija mamas. May God help us.

I came in from Lagos to Atlanta with my mum and 2 kids today via Airfrance, everything was breeze for me as I had prayed to God never to go for any secondary inspection. I tried endlessly to get dollar from Stanbic and Unity but did not succeed so i had to buy through black market at the airport. Travelling with 2 toddlers is hell but i do not regret it because my mum was with me. When we got to Atlanta at the CBP officer's desk after all the thumb printing I brought out all my previous receipts i paid in 2012 for my daughter's delivery in texas. The letter i wrote to the embassy and the response i got from the embassy for the new pregnancy. I also had my hotel booking. As God would have it the guy did not check a single document i had brought out for him. He just asked for what i came for and i said childbirth. He stamped me in for 6 months and said if i needed more time i can request for an extension. He told me to keep all my documents in my bag that he doesnt need them. Same also at agriculture nothing was seized. i am presently in the hotel with my family chilling after the long journey.

That must have been painful, I understand their pov as they are a coffee shop. Giving you free hot water will be like giving you free coffee

@ oakbend in that case they better step up their mediocre services. Cuz it's not worth that amount as it is right now

@toludestin thank God for journey mercies and favor. Have a safe delivery
