Thanks y'all. I'm really encouraged to reapply after read your posts.

God's perfect will be done!

Try applying to Abuja instead of Lagos. One guy on here I believe was denied twice in Lagos then applied a 3rd time in Abuja and him and his wife got approved. So if u can make it to abuja without spending a lot, then try Abuja.

Ralphlauren:

Hello house?

Please those who have used ARik airline back to Nigeria with baby, please what travel documents do I need to hold for baby to enable us checkin. I will hold her international passports (America and Nigeria). Do I need to hold any other document like birth certificate etc?

Please assist. Urgent please.

Thank you.

Why do people still patronise Arik when preggers?? After all has been said about their yeye service.

Hello house,Pls I have a question for mothers that have traveled back home with those babies,What type of car seat would you advice one to buy?The infant car seat or the convertible?At what point is the car seat collected,do you check it in or its collected at the entrance of the plane.Plsss help!!Thank you.

Check my posts for the 3 main important things u need to do when traveling with ur infant.

Hawttattoo:


Chisos ! Pediatrician $1k? Is that not on the high side? and I'm here thinking I got myself a good deal with them. I don enter one chance be that na.

And to all the Sharp Mamas that travelled with palm oil,pls how did you package it? Was it in tin container or rubber.

I was about to say too. $1000 is waaay too high for a pediatrician. Pls try and source one outside the hospital abeg. They're usually cheaper. If u start paying 1k dollars for a newborn now, how much them go charge when the pikin comes for follow up checkup at 1 week??

deltawife:
Pls am still waiting for answers. It's tedious reading so much posts. Any body that knows a cheap good hospital in houston with affordable fees and had a good experience pls inform me. An so new to this
Thanks

Lol the question should be how bad do u want to have ur baby in the US at an affordable price? If it's important to u, u'll do the "tedious" research.

0yin:


The Dr's name pls.

When u contact the office and send in ur records, they assign u a Dr from their 8 Doctors depending on ur case. Send them ur records first.

0yin:


Pls can u give the name of your obgyn?

North Atlanta Obgyn @ 5780 peachtree Dunwoody road

Pls if u send me PM or email and I don't answer, means I no dey check am. So just ask ur question to me on here. No time to start lookig at PM pls.

Newmum15:
Pls I have some questions for mothers who have used Northside hospital Atlanta.Pls what were the things given for free at the hospital,were you given diapers,baby formula and stuff?Were you able to work with your birth plan?how much did birth certificate cost and all those other little info.Pls help with these information so we know how to prepare.Plsss

1) Things given for free are: baby food and nipples, maternity pads and disposable panties, diapers (pampers), baby newborn white tees, and a Northside gym bag. Infact u need only go with the clothes u and baby will wear back home and toiletries. Every other thing is provided.

2) What do u mean by work with birth plan? U already discussed that with ur Dr so they should relate it to the hospital. Also note that once u are admitted u should give them ur pediatrician details if not they'll assign u an expensive one at the hospital.

3) BC cost $25 for first copy and $5 per any extra copy u want. I got 3 copies so paid $35. And u pay this at the Vital records office when u go to pock it up. But the hospital will also give u a Confirmation of Birth in writing. Better to request it on the 1st floor b4 u get discharged, so it's ready for u. If not u'll make a trip back just for that.

Any other info? Hearing test is FREE so no decline am. I declined at first until I asked of it's free and they said yes. So ask b4 anything is administered to ur baby even vaccines. If not u go receive bill later oh.

hadetola:
when is the best time to get fit to fly? is it ok to get it 7/8days before departure?

No. Should be within 72 hrs to departure. 7 days is a whole week. A lot can change in baby's growth in a week.

Oya woju oh....eh eh eh...baby sweet...baby nice...baby do the do...odikwa tight...baby ko ya woju oh eh eh eh

missusadey:
@shawbabe...i sent you an email. pls wats the name and contact of the obgyn you used. thank you.

Mehn I haven't checked that email in a long time. So I'll just answer u here.
I used North Atlanta Obgyn @ 5780 peachtree Dunwoody road, +14042550621. Dr's fee is $2200.
U have to send in ur records from naija or wherever u have been receiving pre-natal care. They'll look thru it and let u know of they'll take u on and also the cost depending on how many weeks u are when they take u on. I joined them at 28 weeks. They have like 8 Drs there. U can pick one or they'll assign u one.
As for my particular Dr, I'm not sure I wanna spill her name becoz I'm a jealous patient! Lmao! She was so good to me and hilarious lady. She made sure she was the one that delivered my baby. Love her for that! Anyway beg me small let me think and decide whether to tell u her name.

Nna mehn! I am already tired of Nigeria. I am bored oitta my mind for me to be back here reading from page 90. No light, no fuel! My baby's body is full of heat rash! Na so so A/C 24/7....@ N250 a litre! Wtf is happening in this country! I have a very good mind to carry another bele sharply and begin 2nd American project sharply. At least by the time I finish it, naija will be back to sanity as a country.

baslone:

It's about 10 days and still not delivered.

Does anyone know how I can track my baby's birth certificate in Atlanta?

There's nothing to track. Carry yourself and go to the Vital records office (google the address) and pick the certificate up. If not u will wait for more than 3 weeks to receive in the mail.

That BC was ready sinceeee....like a day after u deliver delivered sef.

Hello everyone,

How is everyone doing? Stopped by to say ha fa

To add to what has been said, focus more on shipping diapers, wipes and clothes 3 months and above. I use my car seat and stroller oh here in abuja. Especially when I go gocery shopping at a supermarket. Or in my neighbourhood.

As for baby sleeping on our bed, I refused that one from the very start. Becoz na like that e dey start dem no go gree sleep alone later. U no go even fit romance ya spouse, mba oh. Moved my baby to crib sharply. If they cry, let them. They'll learb to sleep alone and comfort themselves back to sleep. Lol I know it's harrrd.
The crib I checked in in Atlanta and tagged FRAGILE, those useless airline people destroyed it when I saw it in Abuja. So we had to buy another one in Naija and claimed compensation from the airline. Yeye people.

For baby food, I found Gerber gentle start powder formula wasn't breaking down well with my baby. So check what works for baby b4 shipping stuff back. Or u'll be stuck with what u won't use.

Hello my people,

I am safely back in Naija oh. Operation birth is complete for me, thank God it ended in praise.

Just 3 important tips for first time mums coming back with their infants:

1) Thou should not buy thy infant ticket with American office of thy airline, or thou shall pay $400+ for a one way ticket. Buy thy infant ticket from the naija branch and get someone to pay them in naira for u.

2) Purchase an Infantino baby carrier coz thou shall need it @ the airport, for thy stroller and car seat shall be taken from thee and checked in all the way to naija. So if u don't wanna carry ur baby for hand thru layovers and security, buy one! Or thy hand shall break from carrying baby.

3) Thou should arrive at ur departure airport 3 hours ahead of time to make sure thou gets preference for bassinet. Very important. Also that thous shall not be running to thy gate with yelling baby in thy arms. For thou shall apear like a mad person.

That's it folks! Till next pikin is conceived, thanks for everyone's contribution and for the laugh thru my final weeks of pregnancy oh. Love all of una.

mamacajah:


Sharp babe. abeg tell us how you did it and for which airline?

The people quoting $438 was the North America dept of Delta. I just called their naija branch, where I bought my own ticket and they did infant ticet for me at a lesser price. I think an NL mum has mentioned it on here b4, that her husband went and paid in naija for cheaper. But that`s the acrobatic move I did oh

Newmum0615:
Mind her ke? I get time? She should just take her immature ways someplace else. I wonder how she is in person.

U need not wonder my dear, I said b4 wetin concern me and ur wahala lol.

Besides says the person who PMed me for info and I helped where I could like we all help each other on here. If I was what u believe I woulda cursed u out in the PM
My dear I tease people a lot, that`s what I do. I joke a lot, and it takes a smart person to handle it, I have joked with people about their email IDs sef, and we laugh about it. If I was really out to fight, I would have responded ur post with something serious and insulting, but I didn`t becoz it`s all laugh to me. I wonder why I`m even explaining sef like I care....lol.

Tvegas:


I can see you are still fomenting trouble on this thread . @Poster dont mind her na so this my paddy dey do.

Lmao! Tvegas oh, abeg free me! Apparently na only a few intelligent bunch wey get my joke!

9jabiggurl:


@shawbabe, just try and be a little more conservative by not having something to say to everyone. Haba! your reply isn't called for. which one be "suspect' are you an SS agent or Jack Bauer. She doesnt owe anybod any further explanation but she deemed it fit to give you a very realistic answer which i rekcon with....oversight can happen to anybody especially when you are engrossed with this birth thing in Yankee....every other thing becomes secondary till it posses as an hindrance.

@ newmum2015....just give it a try with the embassy and we ALL await your goodnews....God's favour all the way for you and if otherwise you have nothing much to loss as husby will get you and baby and even all your children covered eventually.

Hahaha! Aunty voltron! For ur mind now u just dropped deep knowledge abi? Mehn this thread is full of short fused folks I swear. Either una no dey get jokes and sarcasm sha. My initial post was in no way insulting to her it was a JOKE oh! But una be bunch of backward thinking females! Yes I said it! Hissssss!

So my people I booked infant ticket oh, at 177 dollars. Did one kain acrobatic moves and paid sharply!

Newmum0615:
I know it is only you that will find sumtin to say. Madam ever-suspicious and superstitious. Anyway to correct you, I didnt mean that I just realised that my husband has a green card. What I meant is that I have never really given it a thought that his status could affect my application till someone mentioned it to me. So I decided to ask sensible people here.

Lmao @ suspicious and superstitious! Wetin concern me and ur hub's green card? No need to be defensive lol. It's ok if u just found out my dear. I was actually messing with u when I posted that and wasn't even serious. But nice try with ur explanation though becoz if it was actually true, u would have known since and if his status will affect u. U didn't just wake up and decide to born in America. I'm sure una discuss am, or may be not.

All the same, ur explanation doesn't make sense and ur question suspect.
