Please guys, I want to ask a "very stupid question" . Which should come first, doctor then hospital or hospital then doctor? Should I look for a cheap hospital then search for a doctor or vice versa?
For VBAC, it seems like it's not so easy to find VBAC doctors that will take me at 36 weeks.
I need answers from those that are more experienced.
I appreciate.

Hello House,

Wifey just got back from work today and gave me a news i dont know if to be excited or what sef..

She was picked with 5 other staffs to travel to the U.S by her employer on official duty but its Optional if she cant go because of her Condition. The 6 of them will be sponsored by the Company. She is pregnant and looks as if she will give birth anytime soon lol but she is just in her Second Trim ... I was initially making arrangement for her to have the baby in the U.S but now this offer came.

House please help me analyze this matter.

Do you think she should take the offer? If so do you anticipate any challenges at POE
OR
Should she decline the offer since its optional and stick to our initial arrangement?
OR
Take the offer and inform VO that she would also like to have the baby in the U.S......Is it Wise?

I am confuse o .. please my Gurus HELP

To go and represent them in which capacity? Cos a VO will wonder how plausible that sounds. Somebody that ought to be on mat leave...
However, if she can rep them while pregnant, u can tell the Vo the purpose of the trip is to have the baby but coincidentally, the office also picked her to rep them for bla bla bla.
And that she is prepared to have the baby on her own tab and have the means and proof to show for it. By so doing, u show preparedness.
A mouthful right? Yes. But that first question actually affords you the opportunity of a speech.
The upside to this is that wifey gets free flight and accomodation in the long run though your burden of proof must cover that cos the office is not expected to pay for personal waka (for visa purposes)y

Hi Ma'am, is hearing test/pedia compulsory? Just asking pls

It's not, I found out I could have said no later on. The lady that carried out the test said if I decline the test, I would be given one paper to sign.

Pls wer can I get car seat and stroller as I hrd is compulsory to buy wat mall and Wats d price range urgent pls

One of two things, this happened to a friend of mine, the baby's cord was wound around the baby's neck hence the baby was losing weight in utero. Speak to your doctor about this. I strongly will advise CS if this is the case.

For baby to add weight, it's not hard na! Eba every night for 2 weeks will work wonders. If you doubt me, ask modath
My baby was 3.2kg at 36wks, at birth she was 4.6kg cos I craved Eba during the last weeks

Please read Shelly23's posts before you decline hearing tests. It's one of the most important tests that's why the do it in US, abi why dem no do vision and smelling test?

It's a couple of bucks, worth more than years of running around if there's an issue and treating it later in life is not as easy as treating it in infancy

At this rate, I might have to go down east to find this PTA. As population in Lagos and co wouldn't let someborri to even smell the sth whereas probably in our villages they are even begging people to come and buy. For those looking for PTA u might as well explore this optionsooo.

ify4charm:
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.

Thank you o Nef. I was beginning to wonder why we are borning in obodo oyinbo if we cannot do hearing test. Abeg we should not cut costs on tests that confirm that we and our little ones are fine.

Update on PTA hussle:
DH went to citibank garki, he was told it takes 3-4weeks to get pta but for one to open an account u have to fill a form for verification that will be sent to lagos befor it can be open.

Me at FCMB suleja branch: they cant process until its close to my travel date. I just filled the form sha.

It will end in praise

@ mummybee Pls must we get car seat and stroller or just one of the two

To leave the hospital, you need just car seat alone but of course you'll need a Stroller to push baby around in case you wanna go shopping et al. Also coming back to Naija, u'll need it, you can place some of your hand luggages in it to ease movement.
