@Petme13,

Please did you carry all the tests sent by Dr Jeane before she accepted you.

Am finding it diffilcult to do all the tests in my area.

Kindly respond

.

@Oluwafunkenny I am using Dr jeanie aswell I sent the tests I was able to do in nigeria d ones I couldn't I did when I got here(gonorrhea and clamydia,rubella,GTT)however my Blood glucose was a little elevated so I had to do a 3 hour GTT.i declined when asked if I wanted to do it @ her clinic because I got an alternative to do @ a labcorp near my house @ a significantly cheaper rate.
Hope this helps.

Abeg what kinda freebies do the hospitals give when u have your baby

My Aunt who had her babies @ d cyfair hospital in houston had similac and I think enfamil formula samples,diapers,lotions,bath wash from J and J and lots more about 2 months supply.i googled and found out that it is being discouraged as mothers who intented to exclusively bosom feed saw the free stuff and had a change of heart and started formula feeding. well I would have done the same tho,so I understand.

So after Lotalways' post about WHMC increasing their price, I called them first before getting there. The lady I spoke with was just repeating to me "the price has gone up" "it just went up". . . then I asked her what the new cost was, and she said 4200, which was not consistent with what Lotalways said (4500). I just thought ok, I might be lucky and persuade them to take the 4k from me since it seems the new price has not been decided yet. We got cut off and when I called the second time, I spoke with someone else who sent me an email of the bill and it was still 4000, (thank God!). I rushed there to make the payment before they change their mind.

So mummys if you are using them and in Houston, better go and register now. They would be increasing, how soon, I do not know.

Oh, another thing I noticed is that instead of the 4-day stay for C-Section deliveries, it is now 3 days. Seems the hospital has been making some other changes as well apart from the cost.

I asked them a few days back and the price change is from the firstof febuary.

@Op it's a pity the honeymoon didn't last long,although going by statistics d 1st year is usually rough on both parties @ d same tym doesn't mean u guys should go all kung foo on each other,a relationship and Marriage are 2 different ball games,u dated 4 6years u should @least know him 2 an extent and find out were the frustration really lies and see how u guys can work things out.The problem most women have is d fact that we feel what the relationship didn't solve marriage would be a quick fix.@ this point your health and that of the unborn is paramount.Try to relax the tension in ur home cos 2 months is a little too early 4 divorce statements.
