[quote author=firsttymum post=38815124] lo Dunno why I'm more at peace with your male colleagues! Just like me I'm afraid of needles, drugs n have serious phobia for hospitals n I feel d female docs won't have my time... esp when d want to listen to my baby heartbeat n I'm scared of that mere instrument! My first baby I just signed for CS without anything wrong o I was just scared of labour pains and all! I hope DrF don't fling me and my crying self out of his clinic. Pls if ur doc can tolerate a crybaby n a softy like me I better port sharply. |

Phema:No, I didnt o though i got an apology letter from the hospital mgt.

Neks31 if it's attention u want then u have d "wrong" person. Shrekandfiona so no OBGYN on call or is it that he wants to eat the money alone. He shld compensate u with some refund. If u wanted nurses to handle d delivery u wld have used a birth center or something. Bbsy:Bbsy seriously? These are national anthem names on this thread. Besides we ain't allowed to mention Dr's names. Especially when there's a comparison. If u read this page or a few pages away you'll b able to join the lines. |

A friend and her family of 5 were recently turned back at Chicago POE. She is a frequent US traveller, they all go on yearly vacation 8 years counting, has children but they were all born here in Naija. This is her last kid and they decided to birth this one in the US. I wasn't aware she was travelling if not would have referred her to this thread though I travelled before her. Spent over 2.5mil on air ticket for their usual vacation but planned to stay back to deliver. She had contacted her in laws who live in the US to get her a doctor and hospital which they did but no correspondence regarding cost breakdown etc. They travelled with 18,000$ which they declared as they both work in oil companies. When they arrived Chicago, the ffg conversation took place: Cbd: i can see you're pregnant, do you intend giving birth here? Friend: yes Cbd: was the embassy informed of your plan Friend: no, I am a frequent traveller and renewed via Dropbox before I was pregnant Cbd: any doctor/hospital correspondence Friend: yes Cbd: can i see them? Friend: this is my doctors name and phone number, I have my appointment with her in 2 days. My friend didn't have any email exchange just the number her inlaw got and she has been in contact with the doctor via phone. That was her mistake o Cbd: don't you have any cost breakdown Friend: no, I plan on getting those during my 1st appointment with her. Cbd: how much do you have Friend: showed him her declared cash of 18,000$ They still weren't impressed o, kept questioning her on her delivery plans etc, called her doctor and confirmed the appointment but they still weren't satisfied and said she didn't plan paying her bills After over 6 hours with them, they cancelled all their visas, hers, 3 kids & her hubby and put them on the next available flight to naija. She fell into early labour on her way back to naija o. I feel so sad for her and just tot to share so that peeps wanting to birth would do their homework very well even if you are a frequent US traveller. Be informed and be prepared. Peace y'all 10 Likes |

@shrekad oomg! I'm speechless. Na wickedness in high places be this o! Haba! They. Kuku cancel the small pikins' visa! Sad story. Wasted money |
Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 2 by Austine2020: 5:18pm On Oct 09, 2015 |
shrekandfiona:Thats pure wickedness for the CBP officer to cancel all their family visas. I think in my own opinion that the officer thought that since all of the family are travelling together with 18kusd & without any doctors correspondence,that they will not return back to NIG again. She should have left the kids at home as her strong ties and travel with her husband alone for birthing. 2 Likes |

[quote author=shrekandfiona post=38823073]A friend and her family of 5 were recently turned back at Chicago POE. My cousin in Houston told me this exact same story yesterday when I was sharing my POE experience with her. She knows the couple... I think that Chicago POE takes the prize for hostility but knowledge (of what they should have been prepared wirh) would have been powerful in this case. A very sad case indeed |

Austine2020:She couldn't have left the kids na, it's a yearly tradition for them to go on family vacations. They always travelled together o. And she works in one of the biggest oil coy in Naija. Just that this time around, after their usual 2-3 weeks vacation, she'll stay back to deliver while the family returns to Naija. She even told the Cbd that if she was the problem, she was ready to go back alone while her kids n hubby enjoy their vacation but they didn't agree o. They cancelled all their visas |

That is the worst POE story i have heard. How will she tell the kids that they cant vacation in USA anymore for now. SMH. I feel even if she had some correspondence, the officer would still send her back ahah. Cancelling the whole family's visas is cruel 1 Like |

Hi hi. . Sorry I may sound pessimistic. ..buh I kinda wanna tow the line of the previous poster. .. $18k for a travelling party of 5 to cover vacation, childbirth n ACCOMMODATION.plus feeding .... ? that's a big big red flag. ...it's gonna be nowhere near enough to foot the bills ergo the CBP prejudiced response/reaction. .. Just a decent accommodation for a 3 month period is nothing short of 9k...them Trans shopping n groceries. ..huhn huhn.....it doesn't cut it. .. I travelled with well over 22k cash excluding accommodation and still that didn't cut it for me for a party of 5.... debit alerts still ringing excess. They just struck d CBP dead on as highly unprepared. .. shrekandfiona: 4 Likes |
