I just had a Mc. We are so devastated. All our plans, hopes, dreams, everything gone. Our only hope is on God. May God keep you all and your unborn babies safe until the time appointed. Amen

Lots of hugs dear. God who began this good work would be faithful to do it again and this time he will complete it. Affliction shall not rise a second time.

Qatar does one 30kg bag so it's possible.

For flights with stopovers longer than 7hrs Emirates lodges you in an hotel and they feed you. I hear it's quite relaxing. Please call them to confirm. I have done 8 hours stopover with belle before on BA it wasn't so bad but I had company o. Maybe if you like watching movies you can download some on your laptop or tablet and camp close to a rest room to wait. Also ask, Emirates may wanna treat you nicely cos you are a preggie, Yuri may be allowed into business class lounge or something

To book tickets I always check options from Kayak.com to ensure I get the shortest layover for emirates. I've never done anything longer than 3 hours on emirates. Once you find the best option they'll redirect you to the Emirates site to book.

All is well my Dear, God will do it again. Love you.

It's well dear. Affliction shall not arise again.

Someone here once mentioned she had used dubai connect.
Scan through Nefertitiram's posts. I think she's the one, not sure though.

shithapuns:
@leaky tribe, saw the 30kg on their website, but I hv dug deeper now, and hv seen 2bags of 23kg each.
thanks for the quick response.

did you use Dubai connect...? how was the experience...was it worth it?.
pls confirm the carry on baggage policy, can 1 carry a laptop bag + a small briefcase/box?............some airline allow that flexibility, but arik is notorious for insisting on only 1 carry on bag/laptop bag.

hv u flown united?...how wud u compare united and emirates service/inflight entertainment?.............wud hv preffered united since its a direct flight, but its quite pricey!

I think you should call Emirates or go to their office and confirm. Someone travelling next week just told me they reviewed their baggage allowance recently.

Amen. Thanks everyone.

Oh noooo! What happened?

shithapuns:
PLS MAMAS THAT HV FLOWN EMIRATES lagos to Houston, how was the flight....especially the waiting time, going to Houston is 7hrs wait time...wch is far, but on the return leg...the wait time is about 14hrs!..........I heard about Dubai connect, has any1 used it here?...any tips/tricks...or something to b wary of...

2ndly I checked baggage allowance and can see only 30kg for economy seat!.....am assuming this is a single bag of 30kg?,....abi its 2 bags of 30kg each?
hv never seen an airline stating 30kg n single bag too

I blv they hv free wifi at the airport lounges in Dubai?

Emirates is 2 bags @ 23kg each for economy class flights to and from north america, 32kg all classes for flights to and from south america. 1 bag @ 23kg for baby, plus free check in for car seat and stroller. Carry on bag not more than 7 or 8kg, plus baby bag, you can carry your laptop bag if u can handle all, if you are luck, they would offer to check in your hand luggage for free, but i advice u carry it along on your return leg to put your change of clothes and the babys. For dubai connect, if at the time you booked your ticket, the 14hrs transit time was the best/shortest available transit time, then emirates will provide you with a visa and hotel accommodation, which comes along with free food also.
Yes theres free wifi at dubai airport and also on the airplane thou that depends on what type of airbus emirats provide for the lagos-dubai route, its always available for dubai - houston route

GucciOluwa:
Amen. Thanks everyone.

Please don't shelve ur plans.

Go to the us on dat visit buy your pta and keep. Shop around for hosps, get contacts n appt details.

Follow ds thread religiously. Usually after mcs or delivery women take in again within 3mths. I took in after 8 to 10 weeks or so. Wen u come back frm ur visit u will see how miracle will just happen again and Gbam!

GucciOluwa:




Amen. Thank you all. I pray for strength becos this is feeling is not good at all. This is my first pregnancy in two yrs of marriage. It's well.

It is well with you dear. The Lord will compensate you beyond ur imagination and fill your mouth with songs of praise very soon. May the Holy Spirit comfort you at this time, never lose faith because God is always performing miracles.

As a special courtesy to our passengers, in certain cases where an itinerary calls for a longer stopover in Dubai, Emirates will provide accommodation, meals, ground transportation and visa costs.

@GucciOluwa, may God of all comfort be your comforter at this period.


@ all Papa and Mama dat used Wakanow to book your flight with United Airline, how are you able to attach your LO booking to your own .

Thanks for your usual response

shithapuns:

Emirates is a world class airline. Arguably one of the best 3 right now. Quote me anywhere.

They are especially caring to pregnant women and nursing mothers, always ensuring you remain hydrated and relaxed.

Evn alcohol de flow freely for the strong hearted.

I have always flown them and had the best time. Yes d trip is long but until recently thy had an 8pm flight leavin Nigeria daily. And this meant maximum 1hr connectin time between Dubai and Usa on d goin leg and then they give u dubai connect for any return leg longer than 8hrs.

However now that thy only hav a 2pm flight leavn Naija... dat 7hrs is a long wait o!!! Evn tho d airport is big and full of places n things, am not sure how u'd spend 7hours.

My take: if it meets ur pocket and u cn find smth to do for 7hrs...EMIRATES IS A GUD DEAL.
Thy allow carryon of 7kg plus laptop bag and evn a diaper bag for the baby...if u wan carry ur handbag join sef na ur business...

I posted this earlier but I just realised that it was deleted... I'm not sure why, but i'd just share it again cos it might help someone.
I had my baby via VD in HNMC Houston in January.
Hospital cost 2000 CS is 3500
Doctors cost 1700 CS 1850
Lab was 154 but I paid $72 got 50% discount
Pediatrician 1133 but paid $794 got 30% discount
I didn't use Epidural but it's $650 for VD and $750 for CS

Also United allowed us carry two 23kg bags for the baby. I insisted since that's what's stated on the website (I saved the page on my phone, but they didn't ask to see it) and told them that I had called customer service to confirm

@GucciOluwa,
God will comfort u during these trying times.

Ghost readers be forced to register only when they need info not detailed on the thread. They are the perfect ppl who claim to know everything meanwhile na here dey get am.....
My personal opinion is that if everybody does same, there will be nobody to ask these questions here. There are mums and dads that have being part of this thread for about 5years,and still here answering our questions, they are not fools!You know yourselves o guests readers following all steps here to birthing in the US without aknowledgememt to your source of info.

I rmba when I first came on this thread and posted my visa transcript ppl like VCOLE and co criticised, "analysed" and said all sort. because the story sounded impossible to them and dy feel dy know ow it can go down @ d embassy. They attacked just like dt. I just entered ghost mode. After that I rcvd pms from several ppl needing my assistance/advise and am sure they would av posted dia comment but 4 d attack on my post. Same way I also decided not to really participate cos some ppl feel like shareholders on ds platform.

[@peaceful 2016,pls what part of thr website did u see the 23kg for infant on united"s website.pls kindly share.
