Mamas I hail you all o. Biko,this one i do cross my leg a lot unconsciously and instantly uncross once i know. Hope it won't come with any after birth effect. You know yorubas and pregnacy "don'ts". I don't even know what the belief is about but i know it's not allowed.

We have almost same thing in common. Hadly eat as well except when i'm super hungry. Saw baby weight last week but not bothered one bit as long as God is ever faithful in granting us good health. My Nei. Consumed almost everything n her baby weighed 2.4...kg at birth while her 2nd was exactly opposite.
Let's just relax and enjoy Preggo.(

are u for real so if urs is too small for 1.49kg then mine is toooooo tiny abeg mama don't let anyone stress u ooo because mine was 1.3kg at that week and my doc says is normal, that I even tried sef cus I hardly eat.. just free ur mind and let it rest on God everything will turn out perfect..worry less about baby weight oo bcus if lo too small pple go talk e too big dem go murmur so relax n keep praying everything will work for ur good..oyasmile

Thanks so much Mama. Your name really depicts you. You be 'gidi person' for real. Let me just follow whoever approaches me for patronage till i get to Dosunmu market and locate little me. No sweat.

Giddyperson:
How big is your bump? Once you get to Idumota, and you are pregnant, there's this annoying set of women that would keep following you until you go crazy. Once you chase one, another one would come, they would be asking you 'Aunthy you want baby things, let's go to my shop'. Tell them you already have a customer but don't pursue them until they take you to Dosunmu market which is where they sell baby things then when you get there pursue them cuz nothing good comes from them. Ask for little me shop, that's where I did 90% of my shopping cuz I don't have energy to walk around neither do i enjoy haggling and they sell at set prices, and their prices seem fair. There's two little me shops there, you can visit both. Even if you don't want to buy there, just go there first to get a feel of the prices, then you can go to the other shops and bargain.

This is the victory transcript we lodged at the hotel at VI despite we stay in the mainland to reduce the tension and traffic stress,despite am pregnant I fasteed for 3days and prayed desperately like never before,trusted God that he will do it like he has been doing other people own on nairaland.when we got to the U.S. embassy we could not print my son ds 1-60confirmation page I was so bothered and I was told dat he will not be interviewed so I took him outside to stay with his daddy...when I got inside I saw the way some Vo were denying pple so I started praying cos I noticed one young guy was really giving people so I told God that I want that guy......God at work now ,that's how the security directed me to the young guy oooo

I appreciate your prompt response. My passport too is in my maiden name. Was advised to change to marital cos DH is my sponsor but i cant now. How do you defend this since one is married? Sorry for bothering with my enquiry

Hello Family, I had my visa interview 8:00am in Lagos on the 9th I applied with my mum, we got there quiet early went through all the processes and we finally got into the main building. Even as early as it was the whole place was filled to the bream with only one lady VO that day who bounced almost everyone. Surprisingly a security man walked up to Me and asked Us to be in line for that same woman..(oh my God not that woman biko)We had no option than to Finally stand in line with 3 men in front who eventually got denied. After which ours went thus

Mum-she's my daughter
VO- Wow you look like sisters
Mum- Immediately brings out family pictures to show
VO-That's fine
VO- Why are you going to the US?
Me- To deliver my baby
Mum- To assist my daughter and cos it's her first time and the baby is my first grandchild

Me- bleep
Mum- bleep
VO- have you ever travelled before
Mum- Yes, been travelling to UK since 2009

Me- As a self paid patient my husband and I would be paying for that
ME- Brings out doctors & Hospital correspondence of WHMC, budget sheet and bank statement( I no wan hear stories)
VO- carefully goes through it and hands them back to me
VO- And where would you be staying
ME- We have made arrangements for a paid apartment
VO- Do you have other bank statements apart from that
Me- Yes
VO- (after some moment of more vigorous typing) … all I heard was you visa has been approved and hands the white paper
VO- Starts advising that we would meet immigration at POE( after all the talk sha we just said thank you
It really wasn't an easy one but I can only say God did it and through the help of everyone here I was able to learn all the tips and tricks even as My EDD is 2nd week of April.

My best wishes to those awaiting theirs.

Beautiful people of God. Hope we're all good today. Thanks for all the feedbacks. Quite helpful.
My passport is in my maiden name. i plan changing to marital when it expires soon. Any problem with this pls? How do i explain this to the VO why change to marital name hasnt occured Since my husband is my sponsor. I await your responses. Thanks.

[Thanks. Its about 25-30 mins drive.quote author=chibertha post=53620344]Use google maps to check the distance between Richmond to Katy to get a better idea of what to expect.[/quote]

Thanks much. Just thinking of how to answer the question where are you going"? Sis is in Katy, Hospital is in Richmond. Texas. Im just a newbie pls.

chibertha:
For me it is better you use your sister as contact because I suppose that is where you will be staying.
Your can only come in when it is that the doctor's practice openly accepts international patients and the medical case is one that will need that.
But remember to go with a printed copy of your Dr correspondence.

Good day everyone. Pls. I need clearification/confirmation. In filling my application form should my contact in the US be my Sister whom i'll be staying with or my doctor? I appreciate your responses.

Pls. When filling the form, should your contact in the US be the Doctor or your relative in the US? Relative i think but i need confirmation. Thanks

Thanks so much. Amen

No... All you need do is use naija address and don't lie about your UAE resident status if you have one, I included in the form that she was having a UAE permanent resident. I gave her my UAE statement account, ID card copy and a personal letter from me that I'd be responsible for all the bills but none was checked. Go with all d needful documents and I'm very sure God will favour you. Go n shine in Lagos

Could you please share your transcripts? What was the drilling like.

isysleek:
Hi. Sorry I'm just responding. I see NL gurus have answered your questions.

Yes and I got my visa but the drilling(questions) was gangsta! Story for another day.

Have you gone for another interview?

Whoa,that's great. I key into such favour. Here is my situation. I live with my husband as well and travel to Naija once every year since 2014 . However, I'm thinking you have to prove a tie in your home country where you're applying convincingly. Hope my long 8months stay outside the country won't bring doubts.it's obvious I live in SA.

akejucarex:
Yes we lived together in Dubai.. She went to Lagos for the purpose of the visa.

Does your wife stay with you in Dubai and only came around to apply? I'm in a similar situation.

akejucarex:

Babatwi:
The 1st question is do you have enough money to sponsor this trip?,do you have evidence to show that you can afford this trip? Eg a good job,a bank balance that covers the amount on your budget sheet.
If yes,then you are good to go. It doesn't matter that your pregnancy is showing.
What matters is read this thread, take notes and prepare adequately and you'll be fine.

IT IS NOT A CRIME TO GIVE BIRTH IN THE US IF YOU CAN AFFORD TO PAY YOUR BILLS
