try google pediatrician around me. I used Dr Rajput Mohammed around Northwest, U can try Dr Amaro, if you are in Southwest area, he does circumcision too, but M came home to do circumcision for my boy. If you don't mind, bring him home for circumcision. BOmum: 2 Likes |

In the spirit of giving back, here is DW POE story: Booked Emirates and boarded on 3rd May. Meanwhile Emirates told DW that she doesn't need the MEDIF fit forms as she is below 36weeks. DW went with a fit to fly from a private hospital dated a week to her travel date. Emirates flight was okay as she got a row to herself to sleep both on the dubai and houston legs of the trip. Fast forward to IAH; met with a black CBP: CBP: Good afternoon, your passport and why are you in US? DW: (Hands over passport) For childbirth and vacation CBP: Okay. When is your due date DW: June 2017 CBP: why come to the US for childbirth? DW: For better health care (in a tired voice after like 24 hours trip) CBP:What happened to the healthcare in Nigeria as you were there for 8 months DW: Nothing, I just want a better health care as recommended by someone I know CBP: Or are you expecting something to happen to the baby DW: Nothing is going to happen to my baby CBP: did you come with foodstuffs? Meat? DW: Yes, egusi, dried fish, etc No meat CBP: You didn't declare currency on this paper DW: cos I don't have up to 10k cash on me CBP: have you prepaid any bills DW: hospital and doctor don't accept prepayments CBP: do u have any family in the US? why this address on your slip? DW: The address of my host as I'm using a paid accommodation. I don't have anyone in US at the moment. Stamped in for 6months. I was directed to Agriculture. Bags were scanned but not opened. Na so DW enter America. The funny part was that DW was expecting that the people around the agriculture section would be nice considering she was heavy. They would not even offer a seat not to talk of assisting to lift the bags on the cart. Thank God the queue wasn't too long. Naija people are nice in their way o, nobody will see a pregnant woman in Nigeria nd not try to fast track the queue for her or offer her a seat. DW is chilling for the arrival of LO. 16 Likes |

@ Chanbaby on the fee for first visit, was it paid at the doctor's office. I thought the doctor's fee is all inclusive (scan, visits, tests, etc) Chanbaby: 1 Like |

Please a quick one, DW applied for B2 and stated during interview that it is for childbirth....meanwhile B1/B2 is what she has on the VISA. Is it supposed to be stated specifically as "B2" asking just for clarity sake. |

I used to think Emirate allows up to 36 weeks of pregnancy for all flight routes, but was shocked to see on their website that it is 32 weeks for flights more than 8 hours. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.emirates.com_ng_English_plan-5Fbook_health-5Fand-5Ftravel_medical-5Finformation-5Ffor-5Ffitness_&d=DwMFaQ&c=0TzQCy9lgR5hSW-bDg5HA76y7nf4lvOzvVop5GM3Y80&r=pHigfj2G1BUWmFgEq8lD4Iy0JVKtecovYAmpAFJloKs&m=tCsvr8Zw28VPoBuD-jXwEr7-itboAe7cBHkxXn3dTaQ&s=wyku5kxU-4-iPSxJpk47bd_E3727zZ5zrI0hqSOHj7c&e= 3 Likes |

Thank you for your response, the time interval between the time I will be travelling and that of his is just like 3 weeks, and the deadline for change of exam venue would have passed as at the time I will be travelling (what if, he was denied...not praying for that though) the exam is not written in Nigeria...It is only written in 2 countries in Africa.

I want to apply for visa for childbirth....and DH also want to apply for vacation to write a professional exam in the US and to assist me through the rigours of childbirth. It happens that the date of the exam is close to my EDD and he will be around in the US by then. Do you advise that we apply together for visa or we apply separately? I want to be careful so that I don't get bounced cos of this no social ties thing...and this is our first time, and haven't travelled before. |

Please for those who has used Houston Northwest Medical Center, are there any other doctors' bill apart from the normal obstetrics and padriatrician? From my correspondence with the hospital, pathologist and radiologist were mentioned, and the lady doesn't want to give clarification on this. Abeg, I don't want extra (hidden) charges ooo. the padriatrician bill is already over $1,000 though hospital is cheap, and got a cheap price with a doctor affiliated to the hospital. Some lab tests were mentioned to be part of the package, but she said they will be taken to a licensed pathologist and the bill is separate....Abeg, in this recession period, planning is key. Please help.... 1 Like |

I also contacted them, but mine is still May/June 2017, the estimated list of the Pediatrician fees was quoted for me. We really need a first hand information from those that have used the Hospital. Which doctor is that please? I am yet to contact a doctor. DerinDee: 1 Like |

Will they ask for all the budget spread thing and account statement if we apply for VISA now? As we don't have enough money that will cater for the total birth fees now TOKNOW: |

Hi peeps!!! My wife is just 4 weeks pregnant, this is our first. I wish she delivers the baby in the US. A friend recommended that I follow this tread. She hasn't travelled out before, kindly advise on what step to take (to include when to apply for VISA). Thank you |
