I honestly don't know. I was only buttressing her point. I've not flown out of the US while pregnant so I don't know anything about the fit to fly thing. But you can give them a quick call tho. It shouldn't hurt.

I don't kn why dh isnt comfortable with them. I hav until 9am to make a final decision if not he'd book qatar.

@sugar, op u are better now. U can gaggle with warm water n salt too. Pele capo

Mine was busy putting his hands in pple's food, he was awake all tru the 16hrz flight xcept during the 2hrz stop over at France that he slept off. He's not goin wit me this time around cos I can't fit shout but I'm sure i'll miss him. I'm not even going to be home to celebrate his 2yrz birthday . I pray he doesn't forget my face.

I traveled with a veeeeery energetic 2-year old at almost 35 weeks and I don't think I'll do it again The boy showed me pepper and he's still showing me now cos it's just me and him in the house, his dad is joining us next week.

We left home with a stroller but decided on not using it b4 we got to the airport. Also decided not to use the wheelchair I had booked.
My hubby and sister accompanied us to the airport, so my sister held him while my husband and I went to check in my luggage.

We had 2 carry-on baggage , one with a wheel, the other a shoulder diaper bag that can be placed under the seat in front of us containing in-flight essentials such as; diapers, extra clothes, socks, tissue, face towels, hand sanitizer, water bottle, cereal, small yogurt packs, biscuits etc. His cutleries were seized at MMA because they had stainless tips, plastics ones would pass. The other smaller suitcase had mainly my laptop, ipad, more cereal, juice packs etc, basically stuff we won't need in-flight.

So we attached the diaper bag to the suitcase and just wheeled them along with one hand and held him on the other. Though this didn't work all the time as he ran off sometimes and made me chase him.

He didn't like the food they served him on board on all the legs but he ate mine. I didn't really have to carry him so much but I let him have his way when it was possible.

I regretted not packing his coloring books and a few toys in our carry-on because I thought we would get some in-flight but we didn't get jack! That would have distracted him when he got bored.

He slept for most of the flight from Lagos to Paris that I had to wake him up to walk when we landed cos there was no way I was gonna carry him. However on the Paris- Atlanta leg, he didn't sleep so much and as a result he was very active and wanted to leave his seat every now and then, so we had to be taking frequent walks to the loo which helped my legs anyway.

When we got to Atlanta and picked up our bags, my two hands weren't always free because I had to push the trolley, this was when he enjoyed all the freedom he craved, he kept playing catch with me. The part that terrified me was when we got out to pick a taxi, he ran to the middle of the road, beaming at me to come catch him. I couldn't chase him to prevent him from going further, I just stood there calling his name and waving my phone at him to come speak with daddy till someone grabbed him from behind and I was able to catch up with him!
I was very tired and I just kept wondering why he wasn't too and where he found his energy.

Anyway, the lessons I learnt from the trip if I'll ever do it again are;

1. Maybe the stroller could have been helpful if he agrees to seat in it, that would prevent him from running off. However the downside to this would be how to push the stroller with the luggage after claiming them.
2. I'll carry a lot of activity-based toys in our carry-on bags, to keep him busy in-flight and while waiting for our connecting flight.
3. Try to limit my carry-on bag to just one back-pack.

All in all, it wasn't too bad but not sure if I would do it again. The good side is that I'm "enjoying" his company now and he's keeping me busy.

Hope you'll pick a thing or two from my experience

I thought to share my own 'small' testimony. After discovering an Ohio hospital for 6500$ all inclusive for c-section, I v family in New York. Our plan was to always drive the 3 hours plus journey from New York to Ohio on our appointment dates as New York prices can kill a faint heart. God had his own plans. 15 month old daughter fell ill and we felt it wont be healthy moving her around. Na so we decide to just close eye chose one of the nearby hospitals. Mehn, we got quotes from 15k for hospital alone and all. We finally settled for one and believed God and still believing God that he is in charge. Doctor charged 2200, I asked for discount as its the same fee paid by people that register from day 1 but the billing person said no further discount. After paying 130$ for ultrasound, they said i have to do HIV test. I reach the test place this Wednesday they quoted 120$, I use shock comot from the place without doing the test, hiv test we do for 1k in naija. I got to the doctor same day for my appointment, spoke to the doctor i met about my fees, she advised me to speak to the manager of the billing department. On getting to the manager, she said I should hold on let her see what my total is before we start, that's how she said my total bill is 1580 plus the ultrasound bill. I had paid 1500 already, I quickly paid the remaining 80$. On to the epidural people, I called and they said their discounted price is 2200 for c-section, only to call me back to say it's 3k and not 2200, this was yesterday and am scheduled for delivery in few days time. That's how I started calling to see how I can change my hospital and all. At the end, it seemed like no way. Na I'm i played a praise song on my phone and danced to God for 20 minutes while telling God that we won't pay more than 1k for the epidural. After I stopped dancing, I received a call back from the manager asking me how much the other epidural guys in other hospital quoted for me, I said 800, na I'm dey say alright bring the 800$ but u v to pay before you deliver. In all, only God can do it. Am still believing God for same favor with the hospital, we have told God how much we want to pay. Please darling, I encourage you to try your God this period. He will definitely come through for u and for us all. Sorry for the long post

U can try wyckoff, it's 10.5k for CS. The complete parkage.

But I'm not sure of birthing there cos I dnt want stories that touch. Make I go check my page on the hospital website

You can only get it wit a doctor'S prescription which is only done on the system. Lagoon won't give/sell any drugs witout the prescription comin from their own personal doc. You dnt even get to see it, u only giv pharmacy ur hospital no then a nurse comes to pick it up.
