Hi all the mamas in NL, I have being following this thread, and it have been very interesting and revealing. Without NL and this thread, I would not have known of the possibilities of giving birth in the USA. My wife and I already have a B1/B2 visa issued last August 2014 which we used it to travel for a vacation in March 2015. She is now pregnant, and I am seriously considering taking her to the USA to deliver, around December 2015 or January 2016. I have two cities in mind: Dallas, TX or Phoenix, AZ as I have family friends there that can help out as I wont be with her until a 2 weeks before delivery. Fortunately, I already have a US bank account which I opened last year November in Dallas during my first visit. The amount in that account is above $3K, which I can easily do a Bank wire to bring it up to $10K. I would be happy to have the necessary information on ideal hospitals, doctors, accommodation cost in these locations. I also read on NL that I need to inform the US embassy in Nigeria of my intention to use the visa for birth in the US. In doing this, do I need to provide information on hospital, doctors correspondence etc. I would be happy to hear from all experienced mamas. Note this is our first after waiting for 6 years, and I am prepared to give my wife the best possible healthcare within my budget. Thank you. 7 Likes |

ekpotek: First of all congrats. I think your wife should use MHIS, their advert is on this thread since you have family in Phoenix Arizona. I hear the weather is always warm, lots of najia mums there, lots of shops and flight tickets too are cheap. cost for normal delivery cost about 6.5k give or take (5.4k for delivery, others for tests, paedictricial visits, etc). Alternatively she can also go to Dallas, there are a few cheap hospitals here. For both choices, she will not spend up to 10k for hospital fees and with family accommodation, she will spend less on transport, feeding,housing and be more relaxed. So the choice is yours. My hubby felt the same way like you when our baby came after 11years of waiting, so I can understand where you are coming from. And we do love to see husbands coming here to support their wives in this journey. GOD bless you. 15 Likes 1 Share |

ekpotek: You make us proud! Looking out for the best for your family. Congratulations on your growing family, and like someone else mentioned both cities you've chosen have pocket-friendly hospitals and doctors, and with family nearby, I really think God had this all planned for you and for a time like this. Wishing you all the best. 3 Likes |

ekpotek: I delivered in augusta but several mums here have used the hospital and had good experiences. pls all MHIS mums come share your knowledge with our daddy here. I had planned to use that hospital before I found family in augusta and changed my mind. |

ekpotek: I saw that no one has addressed the concerns you mentioned above. No,you dont need to provide information about hospital and all that in your email to the embassy,all you need to tell them is that your plans has changed and you intend to use the visa for birthing purpose and that you have made all 5he necessary arangments and that you have the necessary funds to pay your bills 1 Like |

Good day here. My wife and I intend to have our baby in the US. Delivery should be by December. Please what type of visa do we apply for and when should we apply for it? I hear it is better to get the visa before the pregnancy becomes evident. Pls how true is it? We have never been to the US before. We would also like to get information on good doctors and hospitals and cost in New Jersey. Many thanks for your help on these. |

tosinajib: You can start your application anytime. Giving birth in the US is not illegal so feel free to flaunt your pregnancy at the interview. Apply for a B1/B2 medical/tourism Visa and declare your intention before traveling. Most importantly you need to read this thread from d beginning and start reading the old thread from page 100 . All your questions have been answered. Best of Luck. 4 Likes |

To the glory of God had my baby boy on the 29th of April, delivery resulted in an emergency C section during induction process, the response time was second to non. Left Nigeria @32weeks with an uncomplicated pregnancy, got to us to find out I had some issues, but I thank God. I can't imagine if I had chosen to have my baby in naija, had a friend that lost her baby due to the neligence of the doctor in Nigeria 3wks ago, another lost her life during childbirth in lagos 3wks ago too but baby survived. Besides the blue passport and the the future benefit for the child, one is sure of getting the best in terms of medical care. Aspa budget please have a contingency plan, I ended up paying more,( I put 3k aside just in case I had to pay more) I wish all the the expectant mums safe delivery. 14 Likes |
