Pls I need quotes for doctors and hospitals in dallas. Was planning to deliver in Houston but the hurricane so I need to get another place. It is kinda urgent. Anyone kind enough can email them to me. Here is my email address myellalove@yahoo.com

[quote author=Supernaturalone post=59827532]Please can you share the cost estimate you received for Houston Methodist? I have contacted Dr F too and may likely use him.


Doctor VD 2640, CS 2960, Hospital VD 5000, CS 7000, epidural 2000, pediatrician 300.

Just making sure Dr. Funsho is good and doesnt cause wahala for someone at point of entry.

When will you be in Houston

Please can anyone who have used Dr. Funsho Fagbohun of oakbend or Dr. Nwanyieze Amajoh of southwest methodist share their experience. Making sure I make a right choice of the doctor to settle for.

Thank you

You should be able to request a wheelchair. Just check the status of your ticket online and have that included or contact your agent if you got the ticket via a travel agent. I travelled with wheelchair for both single and multiple pregnancies. Although I used BA and Turkish airlines. So it shouldn't be a big deal because walking dat long from terminal to terminal is risky for multiple pregnancy.

Noted. Thank you

Suzyt:
Ok. Rules for multiples are different. Ask your agent. Im sure you can request a wheel chair service.

Okay thank you

Suzyt:
Hi,

Two quick questions: are you going to be under 32 weeks at the date of travel? According to Qatar Airways, under 32 means you are actual not more than 30 weeks 6 days as 31 and 1 day is equivalent to 32. If yes, your own doctors report and Fit to Fly should suffice. If you are over, you would need to print out the MEDIF form on their website and have your Dr fill it out about 10 days to 72 hours before departure, scan it to Qatar Airways office or email (ask your agent). They will then send you their own Fit to Fly.

Please note that once you are 36 weeks, they wont carry you. And like I mentioned, 36 weeks for them is 35 + 1 etc.

When are you travelling?

I am going to be 27weeks gestational age with twin babies at the time of my travel. Again, is a wheel chair needed cos when I travel with Lufthansa for my DS, the walk at Frankfurt no be here

Hello my Fellow Nairalanders,

I made it safely to the US at 31weeks gestational period via Qatar.

I must say am most grateful to God for a wonderful experience as well as all the preparatory advice gotten from this amazing platform.

So here is a summary of my experience at Houston CBP....

I had earlier gotten a b1/b2 visa with my husband when I was 3months pregnant but didnt tell my interviewer since he didnt ask. A month later we wrote to the embassy stating a change of intention;having considered the cost and benefits of birthing our child in the US, we were more than happy to take it on and even come for a re-interview if need be. The embassy replied the next day (a generic response I believe) that we are not obliged to tell them and entry into the US is solely dependent on the CBP's discretion to ascertain we can fute our medical bills.

I got my doctor's medical fitness to fly, Qatar 1 page expectant mothers' form filled by my doctor (since i was only about 30weeks) and also the FANN fitness to fly certificate gotten at the airport for 1500 naira ( the most important evidence for your travel fitness).

Discussion with 1st CBP Officer-

Officer: Y are you here?

My Husband: To have a vacation and have our baby

Officer: Where do u intend to stay?

My husband: My brother-in-law's at..... Houston

Officer: Where do u work and how much do you have?

My Husband: just about 9000 and i work for *****

Officer: How long is your visit?

Husband: I will stay 2weeks but my wife will be here for about 4months.

Officer: Y do you want to have your baby here?

Husband: Well, I can afford it and also for better medical care.

Officer: have you had any child here?
Husband and Wife: Oh no.. This is our First child.

Officer asks for our fingerprint and tells us to stand aside.Puts our international passports in a red file and calls another Officer to take us for secondary investigation.

2nd CBP Officer invites only wife into his office:

Officer: Hello maam, how are you?
Me: Great and you?

Officer : Fine and what are you here for?
Me: for a Vacation and to have my baby.

Officer: Are you aware of the costs and all?
Me : Oh yes. We have been in touch with a Dr and a Hospital and are more than happy to go ahead with it.

Officer: Where do you intend to stay?
Me: At my Brother's

Officer: How long is ur stay?
Me: My husband will be here for 2wks and den id stay about 4months as my due date is 0ctober...

Officer:I see this is your first child, Congratulations. I mean we are happy you decided to come for your medical care here but please ensure to clear all your bills and know you are not entitled to free care or insurance. Make sure to get a Zero Balance Receipt from your doctor and hospital. Upon your next visit, you may be denied entry if you have outstanding bills or no proof of payments.

Me: Okay. Thanks

Officer: do have a great stay and once again Congratulations.

Me: Smiling... Thanks.

Officer sees me off through the door and directs me to Agric inspection point.

He didnt ask to see any document ( that was simply an angel in disguise)but just for adequate preparation, I carried:

Printed Email Correspondence from my Doctor
Receipt of Payment to the Doctor
Hospital estimated Bill
Printed Email Correspondence from the Embassy for Change of Intent
Cash( 9000 worth)
Medical Fit to travel from my Doctor
FANN Fitness Certificate
Qatar 1 page Expectant Mother's Form (Since I was less than 32 weeks and single pregnancy)


I wish all pregnant women on this journey safe arrival into the US and Safe Delivery in Jesus Name Amen.


Take care

Pepe

Please where did you get the Qatar expectant mother's form been searching the internet for it. Thank you

Hello everyone

I am travelling with Qatar airways and in the bid to clarify what I need medif and medical certificate etc, the agent I spoke to at their office via telephone said I should also fill the expectant mothers form. Please I have googled and searched but can't find Qatar expectant mothers form. Please anyone who has filled this before or gone with Qatar can explain what it is and where I can get it from.

Thank you

What did we (Nigerians) do before that you are wondering what we did again

Re: Give birth in the US.
Hello everyone
I am new here but have found so many useful tips here.
I gave birth to my son in the US April 2016, and I am pregnant again. My medical visa is still valid and I intend to use it again to travel to have my baby. Will I need to write the embassy again or just travel with it? This POE thing got me frightened even though I was allowed in the last time but delayed i can't help but ask if there might be any hassle entering from Houston. Again I intend to change my doctor and hospital will that also be a problem at poe?
