Great work everyone...

So far bills paid...
Doctors fee: $ 1850. , prenatal, 1st visit, all ultrasounds, delivery (CS), tests , pap smear ,post natal etc . Pls note: the Doc office is far from most extended stays around like 40-50mins away, I used Uber whenever I cldnt be taken.

Hospital fees: $3500 /3days

Paediatric fees: not yet known but 1st visit is in days time, will update y'll but got a Doc for $50 1st visit.

Epidural/spinal blking: $ 750 did spinal blocking cos that was what I did for my 1st CS.

In addition to the above,

I got 40% discount from the lab @HNWMC and also paid $75 for follow up visit at the peadiatric for both consultation n PKU test.

When I did not get my baby's Peadiatix fee, I call them and I was billed $1366... For what?, palpitation started right a way, this is after 80% of my baby's Documentation has been done...

Pls house how low can I push for the bill to be reduce cos I have less than 2 weeks to leave Houston. PLS HELP o..

This is why many Americans don't use debit cards... Credit cards usually have better user protection for incidents like this.

Thankfully the transactions haven't gone through.. If it did, the bank can't protect you and you lose all your money...

Just be careful where you use your cards. It applies to swiping POS machines as well...

@ bigfido n bisoye82, thanks for ur lovely response, let me re frame my question: if my doctor and my host are in long Beach can I take a flight to Los Angeles and take a bus to long beach. Hope there won't be questions at POE that u are going to longbeach why is ur final flight destination Los Angeles.

@ all Biko ur humble response is needed her. Kisses all

kkbabygirl:

I entered the US legally to deliver my baby. The baby was born in Dec 15.

Regrettably the baby was born with a congenital heart disease called trunsuc artheriosis. She has had two heart surgeries and is currently in the hospital. She has lived all her life in the cardiovascular intensive care unit.

At the moment, the doctors are uncertain of her discharge date. Additionally the baby is billed for more hospital visits and surgeries in the future.

Thank you.

twingirls:
I had a still birth on 7th Jan. Its such a very sad experiece.
I used Dr Amanjoh of Methodist sugarland, I have no regret whatsoever! The baby has already passed by the time I got to the hospital for delivery. She stopped being just my doctor and is now my sister. D staff of methodist sugarland and dr Amanjoh are smply great, even as I grief for my baby, I reckon with them, I will simply choose dem again.

And Soulcare woman? God bless her for me, even thogh I'm alone in America with no friend and family, they filled d vacum well. She stayed with me all tru my CS, my 1st thought was to run out of the hospital and board d next plane back to Nigeria wt my pregnancy, but she stayed and held my hand tru the c section, her whole family stayed truout d day helping wt my grief, hers is more than a concierge, it's a calling.

To my roommate, you know yourself, I say Thank you.

To God, I bless ur name, cos you have already given me the fortitude to bear the loss, even though I waited 3 years for this journey. I thank you for defending my own life, and for all.

To my husband, God be praised, I appreciate you more.

bigfido:

Google
1) Lagoon hospital, downtown NY
2)Ayike house, Long island
3) reddington, Queens drive, Brooklyn

Good luck

Bisoye82:

kikikikikiki plx do they sell winter coats in alaba ni thought it was just ? fake ? electronics

kemo88 this Alaska is not looking straightforward based on what yo have posted.

It appears that it covers hospital only - no mention of doctor (midwives will take delivery not doctor, in the event that yo need a dr per emergency, what will that cost be? not indicated), prenatal nko? lab work, epidural, etc not included.

nne look this thing well...

Kemo88:
I'm scared to, people are saying if they cancel my visa I would have regrets that I should have just tried without sending the email. My husbands Cousin said if I have travelled and booked and payed all my fees then I may not need to send the email to the embassy. She said the only reason they let her in was cos she had payed all her bills. She sent no email lol. Lol lol I know I sound silly

Kemo88:
They asked me if I'm registering for prenatal and delivery or just delivery. They said they would get back to me on prenatal fees. See hun, delivery being just 2500 gives me the levity of having more and more other options added to my care (like epidural etc) . But a place where delivery alone is 10k without other things one wouldn't want to squeeze in too much. Lol sorry I sound cheap lol

Kemo88:
Well, they said I wouldn't need doctors referral as that's inclusive in their package. They said their midwives will take the delivery but if there's any ish the doctor would be only a call away if needed. Then I have to pay 500dollars for pediatricians fees. Price not including tests or scan. I intend to go with test and scan (I read that on this thread).... Meanwhile flight is like 1829dollars (klm), I would find out more when I make the first trip. It sounds too good to be true lol

IyawoToBe:
Prophet indeed! Are you planning another trip so soon? This one you are always here

kehara:
@all the pro's in the house(thks). I plan to go with my mum to Canada so she would help with the kids since I intend travelling with 2 and expecting the third. She has visited Canada before. My aunt also wants to talk to her GP if she could give me a letter, but my question is can I include my mum in my online application. My uncle thinks it's the wisest thing to do since I would be applying with my kids and declaring to have another baby.

Kemo88:
Thanks for your advice ma'm. Everyone's story is different i guess. I agree there are people here busier than I am and still make out time but I was only speaking personally(based on I am going through). May be cos I'm still early in my first pregnancy and my symptoms/sickness have been off the roof. Hopefully when all that settles , my multi-tasking will begin again. I appreciate your response and corrections. May God bless you. Thanks again

nefertitiram:
Aunty, after canada, make we do brazil? Make our pikins dem be global citizens

firsttymum:
Am I d only one who denies herself when a nairaland woman figures her out on d outside.

Kikikikikikikikiki

Kemo88:
My dear I understand you but it's not easy going through some of those threads. I'm speaking personally. My work schedule is crazy I'm a pregnant doctor on call every other day, I was even admitted recently cos of stress at work. So please just pity me this one time and let those who can answer me- answer. I'm so sorry for the inconvenience I'm causing but please help me.
Thanks

nefertitiram:
Yes.

They don't have Donald trump

Birth is cheap

Your baby becomes citizen

You entire family become citizens

LadyGuinivere:
And it was as if some people were being victimized!
Less than 2 weeks it came to pass!

Hotstepper:
Seconded! Couldnt have said it any better than this

nefertitiram:
I don't even know what state Dallas is in, not to talk of POE

kemodi:
hello house, pls i need the email address of doctoresparati's hospital in el paso. Kinda urgent. thanks.

LadyGuinivere:
These kinda things are the things that make people vex and 'throw subs'. When one says I have read all yer one asks questions that have been treated. In detail. Several times. It feels like one is insulting other's intelligence.
Both options are available to u. If u have enough time, swap the ds 160. If pressed for time go as is.
However in both cases, u must declare ur intention and must have supporting documentation.
Read between Nov-December. Like 2 people asked this same question so u can follow what they dis and their transcripts. Can't rem their monikers
