I am presently using Dr X's services and I would say I am satisfied for now. Yes, the population of Nigerian client is much but I don't have a problem with that since I am treated well. Except for my first visit when I saw a doctor, I have been seeing a Nurse practitioner for my antenatal visits and she has been very thorough.
I think it also has more to do with our Nigerian sisters, if you don't ask questions, interact or engage with them then nothing will be forthcoming for you. They will just check you and send you on your way.
I will do a review of the hospital after I have my baby.

Thank you. I said almost the same thing and someone replied that it's their money and that they would use same Dr and hospital over again, bad service or not.
My second child just came in on friday and we used a diff hospital from the one we used for our first kid, in the same state . All i had to do with DW, was do more searches from Naija months before we travelled. it's all about priorities.

The adapter for the one I got is 100v-220v. I haven't used it yet but from this rating I believe it should be good for Nigeria. See the picture of the adapter below.

Medela is 110v o..my plug blew the first time I used it in Nigeria thankfully I was able to get another one on warranty. I had to use batteries everytime I needed to pump.

You can send me a private message for this information, I don't think it is allowed to share such on this page.

Hi Ayomiidele, please can you share details of the accommodation n cost....I am Houston bound early next year and also using HNWMC

Thanks so much for your advise. Medela actually has a 100v to 250v capacity so should work both in Nigeria and the US. My main problem is the steriliser and bottle warmer now. I haven't found one which has a 240v rating. They are all 110v in US. Mommas in the house, any suggestions before I resort to buying from the UK and sending to Nigeria.

Pinkstrawberry:


You can buy any breastpump really. for e.g the medela what you do is go on Amazon and just order a UK plug for it. That's how I got to use mine in Nigeria without having to use any step-down with it.

Since I have all the time in my hands waiting for my LO and in the spirit of giving back, I'll be sharing my experience.
I arrived the dreaded Houston IAH 2 weeks ago with no issues with immigration and wasn't sent for secondary checking. The immigration officer even jokingly asked if I came in with gari, beans or egusi. I was just laughing thinking my Naija sisters don reach here.
Kept my appointment at Dr X. Office the next day and paid his fees, epidural as well as hospital's fee. They don't give medal for pain so I came prepared for epidural. The accomodation I got is quite close to HNWMC and very comfortable.
Mamas in the house, please from which store can I get bottle sterilizer with Nigerian voltage? I don't want to be using step down with it in Nigeria.
