Hello all. Just delivered my twins at oak bend medical center thru c.s. a boy and a girl

Wow! Congratulations!!! Thank God for safe delivery. God's blessings to you and your babies..

Hello house! Congratulations to bj2012golf and bbaby84 on the birth of your babies. May God bless your families. Thanks to all that have contributed to the growth of this thread, may God bless us all. I also want to share my experience, as is the custom here. Please pardon the long post.
I applied for a visa with my mum and must say that the Favour of God was upon us all the way. The interview was in Abuja and transcript is below.

Vo: are you pregnant? where in the US are you going to and why?
Me: yes. Houston, for childbirth.
Vo: any Dr's correspondence? How did you discover them and why the choice of that Dr and or clinic?
Me: yes. I made inquiries on the internet and contacted different Doctors and hospitals in different states but most of them said I could only register and get the information in person when I get into the US. I needed to know the cost implications of pre and post partum care in the US so I could be prepared. When I contacted Dr F.F of oakbend, he gave me a breakdown of the cost and by email too, also enabling me have something to present to the Vo.
She asked to see the email correspondence and I gave it to her.
Vo: what's your budget for the trip?
Me: about $23k all inclusive for my mum and I.
Vo: bank statement?
Me: I gave her hubby's statement and she said she wasn't satisfied today that we could afford the cost because what was in the account wasn't enough to cover the cost. I told her she was mistaken as the funds in the account was more than double the amount budgeted for the trip. She then asked when last I was in the UK after going thru my passport and I said mid 2014.
Vo: how long do u plan to stay in the US?
Me: 3months.
Vo: visa approved, come back in 2days for your passports.

POE: Houston IAH, the queue was unbelievable but because I booked wheelchair service for my mum, we were wheeled to the front of the queue and attended to immediately.

Cbp: why are you here?
Me: for childbirth
Cbp: where will u stay and for how long?
Me: shadowbrooke Stafford, for 3months.
Cbp: do u have more than $10k?
Me: yes
Cbp: any food,fruits or drink?
Me: yes to only food such as garri...
Cbp: oh, that's fine. Will send u to agriculture but ensure you get all your papers when next you are here else you will be turned back. I said I understood. We were stamped in for 6 months and wheeled to agriculture for scanning of our luggage. That was it. In all, being truthful and having God's favour granted me victory in my endeavour.
Thanks also to Tvegas, Sayoberry and Bj2012golf for their contributions/assistance in my journey to victory. God bless.

@Princeadeade and Ritdan, I won’t advise you to book shadowbrooke except you have cash to burn. It’s a beautiful environment though. We pay like $2000 dollars per month for a 3 bedroom flat , which is not inclusive of utility bills and furnishings and we were properly ripped off by the Nigerian-American agent who thought we were adenuga’s children (story for another day). We had to pay 3 full months that we didn’t use. I and Genomi were supposed to be flat mates so she can bear witness. If you insist I will give their details though. I helped some Nairaland members check out a place on highway 6, I will send the details to you too. Cheers[/quote]@Tvegas, double congratulations on the safe and successful birth of your Son as well as your wife's birthday, God is indeed faithful. Regarding the apartment, I filled it as preferred choice of accommodation on ds160 and have so far been unable to make a reservation. Will it pose a problem if I settle for a different accommodation now, even after submitting ds160? Please share your thoughts on that and also, kindly assist me with any information regarding accommodation as am also using Dr Fagbohun. Thank you so much.

I was quickly given an injection to help the babies lungs mature a bit faster before injections to subdue the contractions. were given.. i thank God my water dint break. na all the abuja stress cause am. i got discharged this evening anyway. thanks to God

Thank God you and babies are fine. I can imagine the scare as am equally carrying multiples, after a very long wait for this miracle. Everyday is a testimony. I read thru your posts and thought to remind you to take good care of yourself and don't take anything for granted. You can be a super mom after delivery so for now, just rest and be lazy. It will end in praise by God's grace.
