Morning mom's in the house
how are we all doing?
I just want to use this opportunity to thank all my able mama here in the house for all their contributions...

My dd refused bottle and formula totally and she has been on just breast milk and pap, it is not easy since I am a working mom.

Anyway we clocked 4 months 2 days ago and here we are...

I have to reply here as I can't seem to PM you. Just call the office of vital records in Virginia, Richmond I think! They'll tell you 6-8 weeks but if you call them several times, it'll come in 2 weeks. The 6-8 weeks is just so you don't sue them if it comes in late. When you call, give them your child's details and that's all. Our child's came in the mail after 2 weeks even though they told us 6-8 weeks

In the spirit of giving back I wish to share my POE experience. left Lagos yesterday Wednesday 26th April through Qatar airline at 32weeks + 2days. Submitted my Med Cert and MEDIF via email to the airline on Monday. Got to the airport early. Went to port health got a med cert, paid 1500 for it. Had all my documents put together. At Doha, my name was announced that I was to see a US immigration officer. I confidently went to him.
Officer: Hello
Me: Hi. How are u doing
Officer : Fine and u. What's your purpose of visit
Me: Child birth
Officer: Do you have a Dr
Me: Yes. Called the name of the dr and hospital
Officer: K, where will you be staying
Me: gave him my brother-in-law's address
Officer: What do u do for a living.
Me: Work for the FG in bleep org
Officer: Do have a safe trip
Me: Thanks

So I boarded the plane from Doha to NY. Qatar airline is really nice. Good meals, the pampering I got cos I be pregnant woman. The trip was smooth no issues. Landed NY, scanned my passport and printed my receipts at the self service machine and headed to the CBP Officer.
Me: HI
CBP: Welcome, passport please
Me I handed it to him
He looked at it and looked at me.
CBP: you know your passport has expired.
Me: Yes. Please find attached the New one but my Visa is in the old one.
CBP: K. Raised his stamp and looked at me. What do you do for a living.
Me: Work with the FG in so so org.
He stamped me in till Oct and told me welcome.
N.a. so I jeje go carry my luggage. Meet 2nd customs officer who just asked purpose of visit which I answered child birth. She just said welcome to the US.

Thank you firsttymum God bless you for taking time out to answer my questions. God bless all contributors to this page.

ermmm... Just in case nobody here answers you, you can try asking google the question.
Search for something like "Obstetrician at Inova fair oaks Virginia" and you might just be surprised at all the contacts you would get.
Send emails to them or just pick up your phone & call and you'll get the charges you desire

staceyo:

Issues! had a similar situation with SIL convinced DH totally about Medicaid even called and process it. One midnyt I just wake dh that I will never forgive him if the medicaid was issued as we have sufficient cash on us. DH called his colleagues back in his office to enquire and they told him all effect afterwards. Sharply he told his sis that we settle all bills. SIL then decided that we go to their public health and register, funny enuf Daville VA is a low cost living city where the cost of everything is almost 60-70 percent lower than normal. Some test are conducted free (the ones conducted ryt inside the hospital) while the rest are just too cheap below our estimated quote from Henrico dr hopital. The moment I told them I'm paying ryt away they give ridiculous discount sharp sharp and issue receipts on the spot. Anyone coming in to south Virginia shouldn't compromise just register straight with Daville Regional Medical Center. Good services at negotiable rates.

Please can u break down the rates and what is the name of the hospital used.
