somchisom: does it mean that one doesn't need the SSN to process the passport and visa? |

You won't need the SSN to do that. Gracydee: |

Nwachino1: Hello Nwachino, I don't really know much about changing your flight. You could call your agent or the airline. The Airlines have different routes so it depends on what you want. Thanks. |

[quote author=beautyx5 post=32561173] Hello Ma'am, You dont need to change pediatrician if you dont want to. It all depends on the cost. if you know a very good pediatrician cheaper than the one you used in the hospital then i suggest you change. Regarding what you need to know post having your baby, I think most of it will come naturally to you. However, be prepared to feel harassed and shed a few tears at some point.... lol... especially when baby is crying at 2am in the middle of the night and you have tried everything in your power to make him stop. Its a phase, it will pass. Also, dont feel too bad if your baby cries, its natural and there is only so much you can do... so just pray to have a calm spirit and do your very best. And please read...... the internet has so much material post baby and you will benefit tremendously. Infact, you will be surprised that alot of things your baby is going through is totally normal and you can get advise that can help your situation. Different people will give different advise, especially the older generation, you should be able to discern which one is good for you and your baby and which one isnt. No one knows your baby more than you do. Where it concerns medical issues, please ask your doctor. And trust me, you will do great! There is no hard and fast rule to being a mum or parent.... its a learning process. Just be open to it and it will work out as you go along. Cheers![/quote Thank you sis 1 Like |

[quote author=somchisom post=32574317]Hello house, In the spirit of giving back. Here is my birth story. I gave birth to my baby girl March 17th at United memorial medical center, batavia New York through C.S. Stayed in the hospital 3 days for all. The hospital offers a 60% automatic dscount for self pay. Got my bill for 3947.69 for mother and 1407 for the child, total of 5354. Doctor's fee for ante natal and delivery was 1499.4 (I was scheduled for natural delivery with a mid wife but had to go for c-section last minute, which included a doctor in the package. The fee above also include all the meal I had for 3 days. The service was awesome, everyone including the doctor's were very friendly, nice and professional Wow this is great news! Congratulations on your smooth delivery. Safe trip back to Nigeria. Please I have a question, how did you do with the accommodation? Did you stay with relative or did you have to rent? |

somchisom: Congrats on the birth of your baby. I think you still need to ask them for a receipt,infact you should be given a receipt for every payment you make. You can get them to mail it to you if you have left the US already. 2 Likes |

Good morning family,please I need help from the house. I have been trying to book extended stay America Houston but error message comes up each time.(access denied. Is there any other way apart from booking.com as their price too dear or better still any other affordable hotel near Houston northwest. Secondly, do I need to book for the duration of my stay,let's say 12weeks or few days as a bundle of proof at Poe. I will appreciate all help... Thanks Let's all go out and exercise our rights...vote wisely |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by dere5: 9:53am On Apr 11, 2015 |
Hawttattoo: Have you tried calling their phone? I dont think you can book for more than a month on booking.com. you can also use your zip code to search for nearest hotel or extended stay. 1 Like |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by chidaroy(f): 10:16am On Apr 11, 2015 |
Try Intownsuites.com and select their Houston location. Fee is about $270/week. You can book for just one week. Hawttattoo: 1 Like |

Hi Everyone.....I landed safely in the U.S. Came in through Boston POE via KLM.....it was hassle free...The CBPs didnt even know I was preggy. lol.. Anyway, I am now settled in New Jersey and have spent the last 5 days trying to get a hospital and doctor and all that important stuff sorted....I thought to bless someone that might be considering NJ....And also share my near-Heart Attack-Experience...lol. I went to Hospital 1 in Elizabeth NJ and the hospital gave me a bill of $6,000 for vaginal and $8,500 for C-sect.I had to ask if it included the Physician fee, Pediatrician and epidural lol.( Na im the woman looked at me like "What's wrong with this babe". lol...I just kept a long face like I no send am. lol)...She said No...I am liable to pay for all those other charges and it only covers using their facility. ...I called the Doctor and he said his vaginal delivery charge was also $6,000 and C-Sect was $8,500(That totals $17,000 in the worst case scenario and does not include Pediatrician cost)..Ah! Na im sweat catch me.....I had to pack my two left legs and I moved on with my search. HOSPITAL 2: This was the saving grace...I was already thinking of packing my bags to El Paso lol. I was given some doctors but finally choose Dr Fares Diarbakerli. He has a delivery Package...Please find it listed below: VAGINAL COST Hospital $3800 Physician fee $1500 Pediatrician $500 epidural $750 (optional) Total cost $6550 (bear in mind that if you do not want epidural...it will be $750 cheaper) C-SECT is an extra $2,350(The hospital charges $5000, epidural spinal $1000, Physician fee $2000, Pediatrician $900) The good thing about Dr Fares is that he does circumcision for free(It normally costs $300), gives free prenatal vitamins(as against paying $20 for it) and does free ultrasounds on each of your visits too....If you have all your medical tests from Nigeria with you...He wouldn't need to re-do it if it is comprehensive (from an independent lab that gives well detailed results and breakdown). He gives you a lot of one on one attention and is very patient and listens well. I hope this helps anyone that is considering NJ....The doctor is also accessible by public transport for those who care to know. http://njbestobgyn.com/ That's his website..just in case. Have a blessed weekend y'all and love to all my fellow expectant mothers....May God see us through. 13 Likes 2 Shares |
