Pregnancy hormones don dey disturb una abi?!!

@ RalphLauren, 1sttimemom and Firstymum Caution notice awaits you people from Justwise. E bi like say una wan go 1 month compulsory leave on NL..

Anyway, 1sttimemom had already shared my thought on diz matter

For the Dallas hopefuls in the house, here are a few lessons I have learnt so far that I thought may be beneficial to someone.

Disclaimer: This is solely from my experience. It may not apply to everyone as I haven't sampled all the ob/gyns in Dallas so someone may have a totally different experience from mine.

I have come to realise that most of the doctors I contacted since I have been here, don't accept patients who are a bit far gone in their pregnancy. I'm not sure what the cut off mark is but they won't accept you if you are 34 weeks and above. They regard your pregnancy as high risk especially if:

1. You don't have a sonogram report done before 20 weeks or I think sometime during your first trimester.

2. They haven't been the ones handling your case from a certain point in time. They don't want to assume risks.

3. Your doctor's report from Nigeria isn't comprehensive enough for them/does not contain certain information they need to ascertain your current status.

I was originally meant to go to Houston so I used Dr. Fagb's correspondence to get in cos these Dallas doctors don't give out such documentation for POE. Well the ones I contacted don't. Before I came I had arranged to use a certain doctor/hospital but I was hoping to shop around for cheaper deals before making a commitment. Anyway to cut the long story short here are a few lessons I learnt and thought to share:

1. Before you get here, contact your prospective doctor(s), send them your records, ensure that its ok for you to arrive at a certain time and that they will accept you then. The fact that the airline will let you fly at 34 weeks doesn't mean the doctor will accept you at 34 weeks.

2. Be clear on the information they require. There are certain tests and sonograms they expect to be done at certain stages in your pregnancy and your Nigerian hospital may do things differently. So try talk to your Nigerian doctor about what you need done to find a middle ground.

3. Do most of your research and tick most of your boxes before you get here especially if you will be getting in at 33 weeks and above.

4. Please use Google maps to find out the distance between your prospective accommodation and doctor's office/hospital. Don't just say because X and Y used a certain cheap doctor I will use him too. Forgetting that your most likely "free" accommodation may be 30 miles/an hour drive from the doctor/hospital. Always find out and factor in the cost of transportation too cos you may find that after all things considered, the entire deal won't be that cheap after all.

5. Dallas isn't cheap. But then again, "cheap" is relative.

Sorry for the long post!

see insult for just me from one preggy guy ..... In a faceless forum...

Maybe you should just ignore the repeated questions.
Not everyone will see or understand your humor

Pregnant women
Please read through or search at least, don't make it seem like those who read it were jobless. If you have gone through the the contributions you would see that these repeated questions cause quarrels a lot of time. New questions makes this place richer with information
