Please, anyone successfully used standbicibtc atm chip enabled card in krogers or at any other store for money orders recently? I tried and was embarrassed. Even pulling out $140 from the atm was denied. I was only allowed to take out $120 even though the daily limit is $150. . I would appreciate any response because it's getting ridiculous.

I don't know about Money orders cos I haven't tried that but I know the card generally declines my pin as invalid when I try to use it as a debit card.

I've tried it at Babies r us, Walmart and even Sam's club mart and each time I tried twice as a debit card and it declined but the transaction was approved when I ran the card as a credit card. In that case you just slide it in, tap enter and sign. Maybe try that and let's see if it works.

[quote author=blaize777 post=45092389.went to the hospital I need close monitor cos my baby is just 2kg now every wk I visit 100 dollar imagine after I ve paid all my bills.[/quote]Did your doctor actually say your baby is losing weight?

Weighing 2kg at 36 weeks isn't really bad. Technically if you get to your due date your baby would be born at about 6 pounds. That's normal birth weight. Low birth weight is for babies born below 2.5kg and a baby who's 2kg at 36 weeks would definitely surpass that.

Except you're one of those people who like to have big babies but who big baby epp?

Dear Applicant,
Kindly attach the following to your application for it to be considered:
1. PTA of $5000 hassle free at any bank where your "konnekshuns" are strong at 199/$1 or alternatively a naira mastercard that can swipe $5000 at one swipe at the CBN rate 199/$1
2. See '1' above

The application has been deferred by the applicant until 'Change' becomes a reality or 2019 whichever one occurs first.

We regret any inconveniences this may cause.

Yes, she can.... By sitting round a table, ask him his does and don't.... Then, (carrying ur cross) u the woman live according to how he wants it....

Even wen u don't like his law, u close eyes, adjust

Buhaha!

His law.

I'm getting you.

Buhaha.

Oga, marriage is not a master-servant relationship. It is a partnership between a man and a woman who agrees to be his companion, partner, friend and co-parent (God-willing). Each partner helps the other by encouraging and assisting them in achieving their individual and collective goals.

The minute you begin to think it's all about you (whether man or woman) you're getting it all wrong.

Pls new and old mama's I urgently need advise.

I just put to bed but haven't been able to express any breastmilk since the last 24hrs. LO sucks but nothing comes out. I am still doing skin to skin contact to initiate milk flow. Pls is there anyone who has experienced this and has a solution. Currently she is being bottled fed but i ll like to stop it asap.

Congratulations momma.

While it may seem like nothing is coming out when your LO sucks, she is actually getting colostrum which is sufficient for the first days post birth before your milk starts to flow in full.

I experienced this with my first child and was encouraged not to introduce anything else. The lactation specialists also helped with their industrial breast pumps to stimulate my breasts. My milk didn't flow till day 4, but I can assure you my baby was and is fine. They lose weight and gain it back in a matter of days.

Well done.

Kemo88:
Thank you for your advice.
You see here's the thing. I'm not seeing any pay later option on the website. All I'm seeing is credit/ debit card. I'm confused
Also, I have printed the form, so are you saying once my doctor fills the form no need for the letter again? Or should I just get both?

I'm not sure why you're not seeing the option oh, maybe you should contact customer care.

On the form basically what they want is a letter following the format on the form, or for your doctor to fill the form itself.

Mistygal4:
Hello House, congrats to all the new mothers, May God bless your LOs! Pls I need advice from this forum , I have a layover of 7hrs in Dubai and Emirates is only providing accommodation (Dubai Connect) for the inbound flight. I am thinking of getting a hotel accommodation myself as I will be traveling with my 3 kids and a nanny (hubby joinning us later) . Has anyone done this before? tried searching but couldn't find anything. Is there any hotel inside the Dubai airport that I can book? And lastly will I need transit visa for the few hours.
Septemember moms going to Houston can we connect I will be leaving in August! Have a beautiful weekend all!!!

7 hours may seem like a long time but in my experience flying emirates time sure does fly by. You generally need an hour to use the loo ( seeing as you're travelling as a group), freshen up and locate your next terminal. You may also need to eat or find food for the kids so give or take two hours are gone. 5 hours left right?

Seeing as you're travelling with kids it's best to board early, which could be any time from so let's assume you're boarding 1 hour before the flight. That leaves you 4 hours. Putting the above into consideration, i'd personally prefer to find a comfortable corner, keep the kids warm, get the layover meal and wait it out. The time would fly by fast.

If you would prefer to book, then call emirates customer care for advice so you know whether a visa is necessary and what hotels are available and factor in the distance.

Hello everyone,
How's the weekend going?
As my Alaska journey gets closer fear dey catch me lol.
Anyhoo, please I am trying to book emirates online:
1) I noticed the only payment option online is to use your card. Is there a bank you can pay in like some other airlines do? My card doesn't work online and they don't accept third party cards so I can't use anyone else's card.
2) I intend to travel at 35weeks, I saw an epistle and a form on emirates website talking about "traveling as a preggie" and fit to fly (their fit to fly seems a bit more detailed than other airlines). Please I hope they won't give me wahala on the day of my trip. Please those who flew emirates while pregnant can you advice me? Thanks

Hello dear,

1) to answer question one select the pay later option then go to their office and make your payment. Alternatively you can go to the bank. Note that there's a window of time for this once you book on hold. I cannot remember how long the time is right now.

2) just print out the fit to fly form and give your doctor to follow the same format. You shouldn't have any issues.

sheguru:
She will return back to Nig by first week of may. Documentation for baby is talk for another day!!

California has a lengthy process oo!!

Nice one!

How long did it take to get all the required documents in Cali?

Congratulations to the latest mummy's in the house, Abefeokin and Damidamsel. God bless you and your little ones.

TemmyO pediatricians charge for hospital time and subsequent visits (2 weeks and 6 weeks if you go for both) to the best of my knowledge but when you receive the bills may dinfer based on the practice. This may not apply to hospitals that have a maternity package sha.

ifyalways:
Yes dear, First trip to US, First birthing experience after 3 US visa refusals with the last one being in December. She flew Emirates, 303,100 ngn to JFK. Turkish airlines, Arik etc are cheaper though.

Really great to hear. Congratulations

ozycy:
Yes still #299/1$

Now wondering which bank has the best rate. God help us oh

chima1ng:

mrsbw:
Pls I need some advice about the trip back to naija as I will be going back alone with my baby.

Mamas that have gone back alone with baby, pls how did you arrange yourself to make the trip less stressful. Any tips? For those that express, how was the milk preserved? Also did you carry hand luggage in addition to stroller carseat diaper bag and all. Pls advise me ooo

Thank you

I went back alone with my first child.

Travel light oh, very essential because there are certain things you need for the trip with baby ie diapers and the rest. I would advise that you go with your breastfeeding cover and nurse your baby jeje.

Make sure you get the bassinet seat oh, you'll need the sleep. To be honest sef you may find it hard to sleep but at least you should rest when baby sleeps instead of carrying baby all through.

Check in your car seat and stroller with the cabin crew so you can get it as soon as you alight from the flight.

Put all your essentials into a small bag. Diapers, wipes, change of clothes and the rest so you can put them under your seat.

Hurray!!!! My Americana bobo is ONE today!!!! It's being an amazing first year! Grateful to God for taking perfect care of him!

Happy 1st birthday to your son.

PlOOT:
1, cancelled with prejudice
2, intent email was sent
3, she tot $7k cash was ok due to Fx scarcity and a statement of N1.5m

It may help if you get the full details from your friend as at the moment everyone is brainstorming on few details.

I know that when a visa is cancelled without prejudice it implies that it was cancelled without negative reason (usually when a person changes visa category or is reissued a new visa while a valid visa still exists. In this case there is no issue with reapplying and subsequent applications would be treated based on their merit.

I suspect that when it is cancelled WITH prejudice it may mean the exact opposite ie it was cancelled with reason. Your friend is in the best position to determine what that reason was. The only way anyone can guess is if she can share the transcript of her POE interview as well as her visa interview. That reason is essential to her subsequent applications if any.

Not sure whether I saw this earlier but has she been in the US before or it was her first time?

It's my first time n I wasn't expecting it to be so easy

That's Grace. Congrats.

ozycy:
Medical, B2.

I think it's okay for the wife to fill Medical, but the man should fill business/ tourism. It's the same b1/b2 visa but she's the one using Medical facilities.

My reason is simple, if they both fill medical as the reason for the trip then the financial scrutiny is higher. My opinion sha, and also how I filled forms for Dropbox renewal for my husband and I.

nefertitiram:
The foolish thing stopped working midway during surgery for me. . The pain was out of this world till d doc asked dem to administer general anasthetics cos remain small i for run comot frm operating table. Imagine being sawn into two!!!

Next time, they should just knock me out.

I had this same experience. I had a prolonged labour and when I got to the tail-end of the journey I had to have an emergency c.s, they called to administer a second dose of the anesthesia but it didn't work until the baby and placenta had been pulled out. I felt everything up to that point oh, but then I passed out.

I also had the shivering reaction and was struggling to breathe lol. Regardless of this I would take that epidural over the pain I felt that fateful day anytime.lol

Dabira19:
Good evening,mummies n daddies. I have read thru from Page 1-4, hence need assistance. Pls I need an hospital in Houston that does VBAC. I opted for Houston so that i don't v too many connecting flights as ds is my 1st time n I'm going wt my toddler. Saw some hsptls dat were stated n when I got in touch they said, they don't. Pls kindly assist.
Thanks all for the info posted so far, it really helped me. God bless.

Thanks @kemmytino. Wld get in touch

I think it's more important to find a doctor willing to handle a vbac. The hospital takes care of you for the duration of time that the doctor prescribes so in the absence of complications a vbac candidate is treated by the hospital in the same way as any Vaginal birth.

Hey house, thanks for your real time support here. Very helpful. Can the anybody help with a sample budget sheet for childbirth or direct me on where I can find it. Thanks y'all.

Go to the search button, and search for sample budget sheet for childbirth. Restrict your search to the travel page.

As a matter of fact I believe someone posted one in the last 50 pages of part 3 of this thread.
