Hello Mamas, papas, spinsters, bachelors, about to be baby mamas (don't tell yall didnt see that post grin) and everyone....

So yea I gave birth last week! I have to say God made it look so easy that I'm planning number 2 already cheesy


Ok seriously my story, if some of u remember I was so scared of labour, contractions, tear, big baby or no big baby, how to drive to hospital or not....basically I was clueless on birthing! Being the researcher I am, I spent most insomnia pregnancy nights watching scary birthing videos on Youtube, from Forceps to Episiotomy to 1st and 2nd degree tear, to C-Sections to epidural or no epidural. In fact by the time I was done watching videos and emailing concerned EXPERIENCED NL mothers, I was a certificate away from qualifying as an Obgyn myself! cheesy


But the God I serve was probably looking at me and laughing like this my child sef, because the truth is my labour and delivery was so stress free I ended up staying only 24hrs after delivery than the normal 48hrs. My baby weighed 3.7kg but I had not even one tear! No constipation (TMI sorry lol) and no complications whatsoever! And Northside Hospital nurses are beyond blessed! Eveb though my first nurse turned my hand into a net chooking me here and there looking for vein for my IV but I told her it`s fine, as I had raised my mental understanding of pain grin


My Obgyn, love her to the moon and back! She was so awesome to me, and I can see us hanging out for drinks later! She made sure she was the one that delivered my baby so she changed her schedule when I called her I was in labour! She kept me calm during my pushing and when baby's head was out, she guided me through the rest. I pray God blesses her immensely!


As for the service I got from Northside, it was exceptional! My delivery room and my recovery room were beautiful and they kept bringing juice and crackers for my mum. There are food polaces in the hospital too if u choose to have something else. Honestly I felt like I was in a hotel coz I got anything I asked for, as long as it was reasonable lol. My only complaint id them Medicaid people called my room extension pestering me to use Financial assistance! I yelled at the lady, hung up and disconnected the phone ext LMAO! Biko I wanted to sleep jare grin

The next morning Dr Abrams the Pediatrician came to see me and my baby, and he is such a nice man! SO gentle and experienced. So I will stick with him, thanks to the NL mum that recommended him.

So thats it folks, I`m back home from the hospital and learning how to be a mum! It is the best job in the world!!!

Will update my 3rd part of this project i.e document processing when I`m done! Good luck to all the mothers coming behind us oh. God`s favour!

If anyone has questions about Northside hospital, well I might not quickly respond to ur email becoz baby has collected all the time I have left lol. But I will try and respond, as long as e no be question wey pesin don answer for this thread b4 angry grin

Hello Guys,

Please I want to ask; Is there any issue/wrongdoing if I use correspondence for Hospital "X" in lets say Arizona when applying and interviewing for a visa and when I actually get to the US I use Hospital "Y"in lets say Texas; which is in another state entirely.

Will I get penalized the next time I apply for a visa?

Pros in the house; kindly advise.
Oh really? Coulda sworn Arizona and Texas were in the same State shocked

No u won't be penalised, u have a right to change ur mind.

Hello good people. I have been a silent reader here. I live in Middle East and working. I want my wife to give birth in US. My salary is over 14k and company provide accommodation and transportation. The only but there is dt I just joined ds company in mid December 2014, though I have been working in living and working here since 2012 dec. When I joined ds company I closed my former salary account and transferred to the new company bank. I want to apply by May. Then my salary would have been 4 month with d bank.

My question is. Can I apply with it been 4 month bank statement?
And is d salary okay for yankee visa?
Pls my people. Advise me.

Thanks.
No one here is a visa officer for US consulate Dubai. Hence any info anybody gives u on here has a high chance of being incorrect.

Go to U.S Dubai website and find out what it says about ur situation, and read FAQs. Better still call them and ask.

People should remember this is not a one stop U.S embassy website for customer service, b4 someone gives u incorrect advice and u go and get denied!

Madam, unpack your things and repack like four times. Then have repeated looks at the cute things you bought for the little one you're expecting. Take a walk when you have the energy, it helps set baby in position for delivery. If you've got Netflix or YouTube, watch plenty films, the days will run by faster.

Bottom line, be careful how you search for company, you can't trust people anyhow whether in Osun or Texas. Are you sure your hosts are open to you receiving strangers in their home?

All the best dear, just be patient your perfect company will soon be here
My dear high five! I've said this thing before on here but folks rushed to attack me. People need to be careful how they accept people, asking for company, ask strangers to bring them items when coming from Naija or even sharing accommodation with a total stranger. U don't know the transferable spirits (Lol grin) people are walking around with. Or the one that followed them from their village and looking for who to afflict. Lol.

It might sound ridiculous or I'm tryna scare folks, but on a more serious note, this is an open forum accessible to anybody with internet cnx, be careful how u give details, including ur specific travel dates with airlines and seat numbers. Until something happens to someone on here, we won't hear. Let's be a little more protective of ourselves and loved ones biko. If u are bored and looking for company, pm me and I will send u links to catch up on TV shows and lots of movies to fill ur time abeg. Better still, read ur bible from Genesis to Revelations. grin

If you have been denied three time in three monthe then they have strong reasons for refusing you.
By re-applying so many times so quickly you have made yourself look desparate and this is a big red flag.
You need to look realisticly at the reasons given and put them right first.
Post the reason given and the code and someone may be able to advise.
You should not apply again yet, you will just be wasting money.
Any valid reason why u Bold all ur postshuh

Hello ladies,

One question please, has anyone here driven themselves to the hospital during labour? I mean I know u have to be on the exit lane, just in case u want to pull over and breathe, but how advisable is this? And after delivery is one even strong enough to drive back home?
TravelRe: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Shawbabe: 8:54am On Mar 03, 2015
In other news, seems the State of Georgia accepts court notarised as well as U.S embassy ones. Thanks to the ladies that added MEANINGFULLY to my original question. Una too much. grin

Bbaby84 at least we know now know that some states accept the ones from either the embassy or a notary public or a court and some states accept strictly embassy notarized forms and it is better to ask so as to be on the safe side

Amother4life:
Make an appointment online after printing out the consent form and go to the U.S embassy and get it notarized for a fee of $50. Go with international passport for identification purposes. They will not accept any notary outside the embassy oh for obvious reasons.
I thought some states accepted ones notarised in court?
