Please mamas in the house. How do you take your newborn home...Do you use a carseat\ stroller or you use the baby sling. Which one is more convinent especially if your traveling back to Nigeria alone.

From my little knowledge, a car seat is one of the hospital requirements and the seat would be inspected for suitability before your baby is released to you. Don't know about oakbend sha.

bubelahot:

I am using oakbend too. Their hospital price increased too. Normal vaginal is 2500. Price changed from April.

Yes I know it has increased for those who got correspondence from Doctor from Apr 1

How well does he/she eat? Y not the take ur LO to see a doctor? Pls calm down, all will be well

Good day all,

The situation with my wife and I is thus. We have travelled twice to Dubai and once to Seychelles as a couple. Also once to Dubai while dating. We were both denied UK Visa long ago before marriage.

We intend giving birth in the US. Have doctor and hospital correspondence as well as sufficient funds in my account.

My questions are;
What should we look out for?
For how long must my funds have stayed in my account?

A response would be appreciated.

Congrats to all new mummies. Pls is there anyone who had used St Francis hsptl, Wilmington, Delaware? Pls how's accommodation over there? Just concerned abt the accommodation. I beg,I'm due to travel on June.

It is well with this PTA stuff o!

[quote author=ify4charm post=45078487]Thanks everyone for your help. I think my case is peculiar. Don't know if as a result of the epidural or drugs given at the hospital cos I did tear a lot and was in lots of pain. I m on pap, nsala,fluids. Using manual breast pump to stimulate though it comes out in tiny drops, which I give her to lick. Hoping to get the mothers milk tomorrow and probably see a lactation specialist . Thanks guys, it has not been easy physically and psychology. I also have a swollen feet to add to it. Labour was indeed labour, I was literally crying and after 9 hrs of contraction I was told I was just 5cm. Even to check how dilated I was so painful. My mom was still encouraging me to continue. Omo! I told her to leave me, I no fit do Hebrew woman again. Screamed for the epidural.The nurse was just taking her time to set up and call the dr. if no say we dey obodo oyinbo I wanted to give her a piece of my mind. Anyways, Seeing my lil princess made it all worth it

@ify4charm congrats on your gift from God.
all will be well in no time.

Hi house, I have a case. I acquired my visa for vacation and did the whole change of intent for child birth. Arrived JFK and was asked wat I was here for, told them vacation and childbirth then he took me for secondary inspection, d cpb was a black guy and he started wailing about how Nigerians come here for American passport , told him I was here for better medical care, he said when the government changes, he was sure the rules will change as well. He refused to check my email correspondence or even cash on me, he only said he would do me a favour and printed an I- 539 form for extension and stamps me in for just a month. He said I should make sure I mail the form and pay d fee 290 dollars and once I mail it attaching my correspondence , the restriction will be lifted . Quite confused as I am 32 weeks now and d form seems not to apply to my case.

I guess it was because you did not declare you were pregnant during the Visa interview as you earlier stated. if you had declared earlier, it would have been a breeze. This is a very rare case with JFK POE. I suggest you visit their website for more clarification on next step

MiddyO:


Amen! I love your positive attitude. Affliction will not arise again in Jesus name. I join my faith with yours that you will testify soon!

thanks dear

Na woa. So sorry. It would appear that the blacks are way meaner and more disgruntled than the white guys just because they had the opportunity we didn't have by virtue of the fact that their parents moved there a long time ago.

They should remember that if Obama's father hadn't moved to America at 23, Obama would never have been American or their president today.

Take heart, do what he's asked you to do and pray for the best, at least, you're there already.

pls experience mum wat can I do for my baby weight to increase biko as dey say is distressed confused but position and all is okay just dat instead of growing d pikin dey loose weight #scared#36wks already

Who is your doctor? The money paid to your doctor shd include ANC visit, y do u have to pay whmc for each visit. My doctor's package includes all 3rd trimester tests and sonogram, prepartum, delivery and postpartum visit. Just relax and feed well, your baby will gain more weight. For the stroller try Burlington, walmart. Look it up at amazon and see the price range

LadyGuinivere:

I have been kept overnight in a holding cell overnight in cyprus until my purpose of visit was verified before they let me in. Why?! Because I'm a Nigerian. It truly pains me.

Wowza!! , na dis kain tinz dey pain person!!

To think i thought i was mistreated.... E-Hug my sis..

Atlanta i had my braids almost pulled from my scalp (wrapped into a trendy doughnut style) cos they felt i may be hiding some "substance" inside of it, had my fingers thoroughly dusted & scanned as well..

Was asked more question than was necessary at Dubai Airport & at Heathrow as well!!! They don't even bother to extend the courtesy of apology when they don't find one wanting... No be dem fault sha, na wetin happen say make dem see am!!!!


Our people too!! Thinking oyinbo na mumu...

waow spent the last 3 hours catching up on past pages as i was away from NL for about 2 days.....i must says kudos to everyone on this thread for the wealth of info.

I have been reading and taking notes and also commenting for like a month now like am prepping for an exam lol.

Our interview(myself and my DH) is on the 3rd of May next Tuesday and we are very anxious.

I would share a checklist of what we have put together for the interview with u tomorrow by His grace so as to get the opinion of u all.

Thanks to you all in advance.

Have a good evening

Hello All, on PTA... If the company you work for banks with CITIBANK, you can get PTA through them. A colleague got all in less than 48hrs. You just need to have your CFO speak with your contact in the bank, have the company write you an intro. letter and all other docs for PTA is submitted, you fund the company account as they have the relationship and smile to the bank to get you PTA. Thank me later....

^^^ I heard about this, that they return US$ to CBN because they don't have demand...

Mehn which way?

I have been grovelling at all the banks, only got part of what I needed so far. GTB, Stanbic, Stan Chart, nothing...

Travel date is practically here.. The Unity Bank that is taking cut, abeg where them dey...half a loaf is better than none.... getting desperate...

Wow. Don't know where i have been. Didn't know a thread like this existed on Nairaland. Been winging it on my own.

Let me register my presence. I am a November mum and i am looking for VBAC hospitals and doctors in Dallas.

That's how i got on this page.

Let me read up a bit and see what info i can get.

Hello mamas+papas,
I am currently in NY @ JFK airport enjoying WiFi while I await my connecting flight to my final destination, it's a long wait (6hrs).
JFK POE is a Bae, took me a total of 15 mins for both cbp and secondary inspection.
I left lagos ystday noon via Qatar airways.
4 questions were asked by d cbp official;
a) what brings u to US- vacay n childbirth
B) have much cash do u have - $200
C) have u paid ur bills - yes
D) is it a boy/girl- we wanna be surprised

Secondary inspection asked if I have oha/egusi/kilishi- I said Nooo. I came with palmoil in lucozade bottles as my BIL came in 2days ago n took all of my fish, pap n uda etc.

Take home lessons;
1) be sure to use JFK plsss.
2) for Qatar u must get d 'fit to fly letter' am 33wks+ and it's 34wks for them, the checked my letter also @ Doha. U also need d medif forms-u can get it from their website. U'll send all forms to them at least 7days 2 ur trip and a confirmation will be resent to u.
3) be well hydrated; get a bottle and drink lots of water.
4) walk around on-board d flight
5) get Ted stockings

Sorry guys 4 d long gist.

Make I sleep small.

God bless u all for the tips and encouragement, its simply priceless!!

I love u all.

Ah! The 'dusting powder' of hand and swabbing my stuff no be issue again na. Them test my sure roll on join.
Now see jfk poe ! Gone to the dogs as well. Hissssss

I think she calculated N1.5m in the account to be roughly usd7k and added the actual cash to make USD14k.

Miracletwinee:


She had the $7k cash, bank statement which she showed to them with a balance of N1.5MM. They replied that hospital cost is inexess of $20,000 so all the fund is not sufficient. She had not paid for the hospital yet. She told them the hospital just gave only appointment but bill was communicated on phone as $5k.

My dear this your story in my opinion is disjointed and there is a missing link somewhere is it actually you or your friend that was deported? Or you are just trying to feel the pulse of the people on the thread? Anyway which ever is the case I feel vo and the cbp are out to protect the same American interest and that visa will not reissued on a platter of gold in less,than 2 weeks except by divine interventio. The transcript at the Poe would have probably been recorded so for you to tell the cbp you had $7000 and getting to the vo to say you had $14000 without

Oh my God!

@blaize777, all is well by God grace. Try take Milo if you can lay ur hands on one(with plenty milk)...you'll gain weight, so will your baby. Take lots of smoothies and sleep well. Don't panic and don't stress yourself. Suspend any form of exercise.

Then as per the car seat and stroller...gracco classic connect, travel system. It's cheaper @ Target or try walmart

[quote author=Ye2ndearisto post=45091258]

Sorry o forgot to add $300 for first visit and scan. I spent total of $5213. That's all I spent [/quote
