I dont know how true this is, but i met two ladies at the embassy, I went to meet them when i saw the light yellow copy they were holding on the queue , i asked them if they did dropbox and was called for interview they said yes.

Both of them denied.

One was told 4500dollars was too small to give birth in America , she came with all her receipts.

The other paid 3500dollars she was also denied no reason given .

They both checked their receipts.

They were interviewed before me, we all met outside after the interview and exchange numbers.

ugoguchy:

I feel its unfair to have information and not want to share cos of agent...if that is how it should be google sef will hoard info.

I just pity people who might find it difficult to research.Agent self dey research.even agents will send PM to you and you will respond.....

debby516:
Can u share your bill breakdown? Probably its lower that the budget u gave them during ur visa interview.

debby516:
No, i dont have.

Congrats on the twins...but as regards ur travelling with twins..it's almost humanly impossible for u alone to cope with them while flying. You need an adult to help.
Either u have someone go with u or join u there. If not how will u cope taking care of urself and 2 Babies!!

And if you're having a CS that's a different case entirely. Pls plan well o. It won't be good for u to come and suffer in the US o.

As per flying.. some people just risk it and beg any approachable looking Lady and beg to help with one baby which is kinda somehow, or you'll just have to buy a child's ticket for one of the babies so u can put one of them in a car seat on the child's seat u paid for, while u carry the other baby, or if ure lucky, u could get a bassinet on the flight.

One advice is that u shouldn't break ur flights oo..I Mean fly straight, don't do international leg separate from local.. imagine if u have to collect ur luggage at one airport and check in again with 2 babies!!..na die be that oo.

Think about ur options and weight them well and I wish u all the best.

Cheers.

You are asking people to do their own research and complaining about people that are flooding cheap hospitals mentioned here but at the same time you are mentioning cheap ones you saw online.

I said this in part or two that people should do their own research and stop recycling one hospital else they will increase their prices.

Many people reading this thread are agents looking out for such info to give to their clients for a huge fees.

Good day people.

I wanted to share my experience has I have gained a lot reading from what other people share on here. This is the second baby I've had in the US. The first was in Virginia, while I stayed in with family in Maryland. Virginia is significantly cheaper depending on your choice but distance was a major challenge for me. This time we decided to do Houston because it was going to be more cost effectve.

I traveled with Turkish airline on May 27th to JFK and spent time with my friends before heading out to Houston. Point of entry was surprisingly easy, I did self check in, printed out a receipt and only thing I was asked was the kind of food I had on me. No questions asked my purpose of visit or my big tummy (I was huge). I was really grateful for that.

I had gone very far with planning for Houston before I noticed in the document one of the doctors sent me that they do not allow VBAC (virginal birth after CS). I found out later that this was a Texas thing, most hospitals will not allow a woman that has had a previous CS try to get birth vaginally. This is my 3rd, I had a VBAC with my second, so I didn't see any reason to have a planned C-Section. We searched for Drs would do VBAC and we found one who uses Ben Taub. The cost estimates was significantly higher than using Oak bend or any of the other cost effective hospitals/doctors. The Dr's fees alone was about $5400 for normal delivery, so I contacted a midwife/birthing center as back up.

I visited both the midwife and the Drs at Ben Taub (they are 5 minutes apart in distance) but we eventually settled for the birthing center because my chances of having a natural delivery and staying within my budget was better. We had Ben Taub as backup in case going to the hospital became necessary.

My baby came on the 12th of July at the birthing center, it was easy and the best birthing experience of my three births. Baby came 2 weeks late and was happy to not have been under any pressure to be induced. Antenatal visits was easy and schedules flexible, service was very personal, midwife came home to check on us after the birth, they had free group prenatal classes and breastfeeding support meetings.

I know people on here have made a valid point of the risk of using birthing centers but for VBAC mums like me, who really want do things naturally and are low risk, its definitely an option. Also a cheaper option if you are low risk.

I got the birth certificate in less than a week, I've got the passport and also got approval for the Nigerian visa on arrival in less than 24 hours. I sent an e-mail with all necessary documents to the immigrations email address (oa@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng) and was very impressed to hear back from them same day.

Hian. What does that really mean? Future salary? Maybe it's slang for something else cause I don't understand what that means, genuinely
