[quote author=Miracletwinee post=46533410][/quote]Let us not also go to the extreme of shaming people that don't want CS especially a repeat CS. As there are several reasons why a CS is necessary, there are several reasons why a repeat CS is unnecessary. As long as it's not against medical advice, i think there is no cause for alarm.

My son Oluwatimileyin Andre went to be with the Lord yesterday at 11'40pm. It's well with my family. God bless you all for your prayers.

God will comfort you. No one can quite put in words what you are feeling but God knows everything and will give you double for your loss. Stay with family at this time and continue to pray.

teaamie I think the bed mitchyy was referring to is something like this, this is the bed I know that goes for 2500 -2800 depends on where u r buying. There are some for 1500-1800 too sef

I remember buying this bed for N900 5 years ago. N2500 is on the high side.

XX01, you for wait small before booking that ticket because by September ticket prices drops drastically till about December or January, secondly PTA is per quarter, nobody will give you pta until the quarter you are travelling this quarter ends June another begins July and ends September, basically they now attend according to how close your travel date is,
You are like me sha, like planning ahead , on a more serious note ticket prices drop from last week in August and you'll be surprised.

I know but i am hedging against forex fluctuations. I know that government will soon introduce flexible exchange rate which is just a fancy way of pegging the rate at 285 to a dollar. I thought of the risk of waiting till September versus buying now. I got Emirates at 329k. The risk seemed too high for me to take as forex is so volatile.

As for PTA, i can get some from my husband's bank now as per staff. Mine will wait till next quarter but you need a ticket to buy it so speed is everything.

Embassy transcript.

We had our interview early Friday morning in Lagos. I was not really prepared and didn't even have all documents. As we entered, I noticed a half cast lady that had a loud voice in cubicle 2 that was just denying everyone. I prayed that she won't be our VO but she turned out to be the one.

VO: good morning, passports please.
DH: Good morning (passes passports).
VO: What are you here for?
DH: For vacation and she is to seek medical help.
VO: What kind of medical help?
Both: To give birth.
VO: you have traveled to the US before?
DH: Yes for 2 weeks but she hasn't.
VO: where do you work?
DH: I work in xxxx and she works as xxxx
VO: She can answer for herself. Madam, where do you work?
ME: I am self employed
VO: what do you do?
ME: listed what I did and tooted my trumpet very well. (very proud of how far I have come).
VO: Where have you traveled to?
Me: schooled in UK, traveled to UK, Germany, Ghana, etc
VO: Sir, where have you traveled to?
DH: US, UK, Ghana, Germany, Ivory Coast, Mali, Togo
VO: what do you do for your organisation?
DH: I am a xxxx in xxxx bank and work as part of xxxx and xxxx.
VO: How much do you earn?
DH: xxxxx monthly and xxxxx quarterly upfront.
VO: can I see your doctor's correspondence?
Me: (passes her the budget sheet whilst I look for it then passes my hospital correspondence to her, didn't have a doctor) (after looking at my budget sheet, she visibly relaxes).
VO: (Types for a long time) why this hospital?
Me: my uncle who invited us recommended it.
VO: whose your doctor?
ME: (Mentioned a name)
VO: why him?
Me: (honestly didn't know what I said here because I just rambled away. Hadn't really finalized on doctor so was very blank).
VO: (Typed for a long while.) Pick up your visas in 3 days and make sure you travel with your hospital correspondence, blah blah blah because I had stopped hearing her.

Was just too happy that she didn't ask for my company documents as I didn't have them.

I have booked my ticket on Emirates and looking for PTA. October is not far again.

My own story is just the grace of God. My baby was enjoying the tummy so much that he refused to come out. At 41 weeks, the doctor said it was time for CS. Everyone around me refused except my husband.

This baby that we had prayed and fasted for became a tug of war. My MIL, sick mum and aunties insisted that I would go into labour. My DH, dad and myself were tilting towards CS. The doctor told us that if we insisted that we would have to sign an indemnity form and he won't even want to continue as my doctor.

We were overwhelmed and decided to wait. But my mind was not at rest. Woke up in the night and told DH to call the doctor and schedule CS. Didn't tell anyone else. My lovely doctor scheduled an emergency CS that night and in the surgery found out that the baby had passed meconium and was born not breathing. It became a battle but God was faithful and my baby let out a great cry.

It has been prayers and thanksgiving since then. Since then, I have been the greatest advocate for listen to your doctor and not old wives fables.

lobus:
Hi, please would you be kind enough to email me your budget sheet akposasu@gmail.com.

Thanks in anticipation

Sure. Will do so by Monday when I have access to a computer.

Thank God with me o. My DH and I finally got our visas yesterday morning.

I didn't really have enough time to prepare as I had so many things going on. However, God was faithful and He granted us favour.

Will soon be back with our transcript. I would just like to add that for the budget sheet, you should include the total amounts available in all accounts (listed individually) and how much will be left. I think that was when the battle was won.

I dey o. Been out of Nairaland for a bit. Had a health scare and my business has had to take a back seat. So been very busy. But I am still here.

In about 2 months, will be very active.

Why not call it by it's name, renewed their vows.

evemama:
I don't blame them but its alsi not my fault na. Price of tickets are so high now especially one way tickets. So when they refund what I paid very early in the yr to me, I now start looking for money to add to buy expensive tickets now! Hmmmm ok

You can consider going to Ghana and then booking another ticketbto Naija. Tickets to Ghana are not so expensive. More stressful she.

[quote author=CassyO post=46004236][/quote]Wow. Congratulations. God will sort it out for you. Thanks for all your help. Help will come for you from where you do not expect it.

LadyGuinivere:
Nooooooo! Mbok! Nooooo. Don't cancel anything o! As long as your barcode abiconfirmation matches your ds 160 idi ok. Meaning you are ok. There are 2 ways to doing it. I talk the one I sabi.

Fear really catch me because i realised that i didn't really ask anyone how to fill. Just went ahead to do what seemed okay to me. Thanks. Pheww.

LadyGuinivere:
1. Yes. Each person. Each ds 160. Each visa fee
2. Book the same time slot for each person. You carry him to go answer the vo.
3. No.

I am confused now. I booked my husband as the main applicant and myself as his spouse with the same email address and application. We paid separate visa fees and have separate ds-160 but it is the same appointment confirmation. I don't think i had the chance to book separate time slots, it just automatically booked us.

The appointment page shows him as the applicant and then both our details as having paid the visa fees with different bar codes. Should i cancel and try to re-book us separately but with same time slots? I am now hyperventilating because the nearest time slot is too far for me.

blaize777:
Pls can I get a number to reach u.am getting depressed my baby is still der day 6.her sugar level got beta on Sunday. Today it went down again.still not feeding with bottle well and ve been discharged without her I go daily to stay with her till evening

Don't be depressed. God is still on the throne. Can you find out if they will allow you to breastfeed your LO and hold her close to your skin? They say it works wonders. In all these, keep praying.

End of morning sickness beginning of a new one. I was jumping yesterday that I didn't have morning sickness only to wake up today with an urgency to pee. I can control it if I am sitting but once I stand, I have to go the bathroom sharp sharp.

GenyEbere:

Hello lovely mamas & papas. Pls what is the bank exchange rates to a dollar using Atm cards. For first bank, diamond bank keystone & fcmb. Pls help a sis.
Thanks

Diamond bank was 312 as at last week Monday. E shock me no be small. Now that parallel market prices have increased, it might be higher.

adebabs21:
Yes Oka is real..it happened to my first baby,its nt a good experience for the baby and mother,i cried almost everyday because my baby was getting smaller day by day. I av nt been taking plantain cos I dnt want to experience that thing again.
NO

I don't know what oka is. But I don't think plantain is the cause. I ate plenty plantain porridge and my son was born Hale and hearty at 3.4kg and grew well. There was a time that it was only unripe plantain that I could eat without throwing up.

omowunmigan:
Thanks for your prayers mamas.
I've stopped the progynova and clexane injection but I'll use the 4 tabs of cyclogest I still have.
I'm just lying down here begging God.
Mama Zaynie, I don't know what the problem is.. I just know I've never crossed this 8weeks. Then I was told it's low progesterone so I normally support with primolut injection yet it still happens.
This time around I allowed a fertility doctor do all the prescription and diagnosis... Hcg doubled initially then increased but not doubling.. I've done several tests in my life.. Including torch screen.. Those rubella and Co..my sample was taken to India. Last week gestational sac was irregular.. Today we only saw the foetus up but no definite sac.. Everything on the screen was white... No dark circle.. And no heartbeat... At 7weeks 6days! Doctor said the wall is too thick for an 8weeks pregnancy and the foetus length is way too small for such a term too. I saw few tiny dark hole bubbles.. He called them Aqua something.. Maybe they're water pockets.. I don't know.. He said they are bad signs. He gave me augmentin for the tan mucus discharge I'm having.. I'm just devastated!

E-hugs for you. God is on the throne to see you through.

CassyO:
