Hello all
Got to dallas Wednesday @32 weeks & had my babies Thursday. Just had time to post my story here
Saw a little sign of water lastweek Saturday morning in Nigeria,went go Havana. As usual,they wanTed me to stay behind to have my babies.the Dr said my water broke but luckily no contractions. Was put on drugs and antibiotics and my flight was rebooked for Monday morning. Was in the hospital from sat till Monday. My flight emirate was 2pm to dubai connecting 1hr to u.'s. The Dr in Havana said I shouldn't go that I wouldn't make it to the U.'S but something in me told me I have to be strong and I want to to save my babies life I need to move ASAP. Even though I was 31 weeks then,I wasn't ready to hear stories that touches the heart plus the fact that it's IVF babies. Unfortunately the hospital didn't want to release me,they didn't want to give me fit to fly and emirate had to shift my flight to Tuesday. As God would have it,I was using another hospital who scanned me all over again and it showed I was OK. The sac water wasn't broken and I wasn't dilating. The Dr certified me OK and was deem fit to fly to the u.s
Fast forward flight was very smooth,was taking plenty water and fruits. Even though our connecting flight from dubai to u.s was full,God make sure I had 3 whole seats to myself.No contractions or pains at all. Arrived dallas fort Worth Wednesday morning. My entry was uneventful,just few questions from the cbp. Was called for secondary inspection that took like 30mins cos there was a queue. All the cbp asked was my hospital correspondence and receipt to show I already paid which I showed him and he allowed me go. Thank God for wheel chair,it was very useful.
My host came to pick me at the airport&we went home. Thursday morning,no cramps and was still OK and was resting well. Thursday evening,I started feeling contractions,even though I tried seeing my Dr Wednesday but they said till Tuesday next week.
By Thursday evening the contraction was something else,I was moved to Harris methodist hospital fort wort were I had initially paid,before I knew it Dr and nurses were all over me and I was told they were bringin them out Thursday night.
Fast forward I had my babies (twin girls) to the glory of God but they are in NICU doing great. The first doesn't need oxygen while the second one just need a little to get better. So far so good they are doing well but am soooooo scared of how much they would collect for NICU for 2 babies&they said they might be there for 3-4 more weeks but in my mind am praying that they do soooo well and let us go on time. Am still in the hospital&as a FTM it's has been God's grace o. C.S it's not a joke but I must say they nurses here are very nice and warm. Been able to walk round the hospital ward and might be discharged in 2-3 days time but would be checking on the babies time to time
Already they have started talking about medic-aid for the NICU which I have totally declined,I told theme no way.The medic aid lady told me,the bill might be easier pensive that I should take medic aid for NICU while I pay my bills and Dr fees. I said lialia ooooo. We are still on it sha but God has been faithful
Any advice from mamas in the house,God bless u all

I used airbnb last year October when I went to dallas and my host was very nice although I stayed there for just 3 days. I paid with my gtb debit card then. With airbnb, u have to be careful when choosing a host. Read reviews about ur host, read ur host's house rules, be sure the address is close to ur doc/hospt. Since you'll be staying for a long time, u wanna ensure that u have a friendly host and that you'll enjoy some level of privacy.
You can also read back. A few mother's got cheap accommodation close to oakbend.

Thanks
I actually booked airbnb and used it for my visa processing. It was in Richmond and cheap. Because I booked for a long duration about 10weeks we had to make part payment. If it long stay... your card will be booked and then 1st installment dedcuted. You will then pay the 2nd installment after you check in (if I can stil remember) and the 3rd installment after a month been there... not sure. But I know I was to pay three time cos only the first installment was deducted but your card will be booked.

I cancelled mine after we change our mind and the host was very kind enough to refund ALL of my money paid to her by airbnb. I had asked for this favour from her before making payment to airbnb and she confirm she will refund me if I change my mind but should carry her along well. This was to cater for case of visa rejection. So some airbnb may be good and cheap.

My advise though... you can book some days. get there to check if all is well. Before making long commitment.
