Just to be clear, I never said Dr Soyoola increased his prices. I did not use him so cannot say. I said the hospital increased their bill and can be problematic with billing. It used to be btw 4-6k for VD with 40% off (I gave birth Oct 2014) by Dec of the same year people were getting quotes of 8-10k for VD. I also had to go through a lot (with the help of some mums here) to tackle some unfair charges I was given. Still ended up paying far more than the quote for VD. Anyway, it's my personal experience. I'm sure many people had a different experience so any1 who is considering them should decide for themselves. Also, just to be clear again, level of care in Gwinnett is superb! No complaints there! Cheers! quote author=yokus post=39519220]I agree, i was surprised to see sm1 say it increased cos Dr. Soyoola emailed me and the price looks the same, except for the addition of scan. I used Gwinnett and Dr soyoola last year. A friend used them this year June and d bill was almost the same. I don't think it's expensive [/quote] 2 Likes |

For those wondering about bassinets, Delta has only 2 bassinets available on most of their flights and you must be seated in 17A,B,F or G to request for one. These are economy comfort seats which you must pay extra for, so it's not automatic. If you request for a bassinet on the phone, they'll ask you to wait till you're at the airport to ask cos it's first come first serve. That's what I had to do when I flew with my baby. I'm guessing the travel bed can work for people seating in the front row seats cos they can put it on the floor in front of them. If there's a seat in front of you, not sure it'll work cos there isn't enough leg room. As soon as you buy your Delta ticket, Just go online and change your seat and pay for economy comfort is you want the bassinet seats (they go really fast cos they have the most leg room). Hope this helps someone. 2 Likes |

I just got an info about a Nairlander's bad experience with a fellow pregnant Nairlander in the US. As I type this, she is currently stranded with a day old baby Let's try to be very careful, truthful and apply wisdom in our dealings since some of us have refused to change. Be careful with people asking you to pm them for an accommodation they have or want to share. Not everyone is truly genuine or truthful. Some just want to take advantage of others . There are genuine, tested and trusted accommodation, pls make use of them to avoid stories that touch. 20 Likes |

favoredgal:I was asking like i said im confused about the ETC. @mamatukwas- i understand, one thing i have learnt so far is that we all have varying experience in similar circumstances. May God direct us all @Shelly, Note- i have gotten a bassinnet aboard delta without paying for economy comfort. They said its a first come, first serve basis. They changed my seat at the counter. But maybe buying off the seats like u said, can make it sure |

olokings: Bros, money no de o! Accomodation is too expensive in yankee. If they can be two matured adults, it should work. But then, you can only speak for yourself. You never can tell if the next person is a psycho. And who leaves a woman with a day old baby stranded? It is sheer wickedness and hell is real. I hope the NL mamas involved are reading this. No matter what! Even if d mum is a pain in the ass, it is not forever! It's only for a short moment. Please have a rethink because of the child. You too are having your own baby. God is a God of justice, the child's innocence will speak against you, if not now, in the future. We should all remember God o, if you don't want to help don't help. Instead of making someone with a day old baby stranded. It's making me sad thinking of it sef 7 Likes |

Hello all, I'v been following this thread so religiously because I know pretty soon by His grace I'll be using the info iv gathered here. Thanks to you all for sharing your knowledge and experiences, very informative n interesting read! Please my SIL is due in February but her visa expires on the 24th of February... She used it for vacation this year and we planned doing the change of intent mail but for this visa expiry date issue. It's almost impossible to give birth first week of February and rush back with a baby less than 2 weeks old even if she uses ETC and gets speed of light zero balance. Please people what do you advice? Thanks oooo |

If she travels in Dec, she gets stamped in for 6mths till June. Visa only takes you to the airport. CBP determines ur stay so in this case, her visa does not pose any problem. Mandydaisy: 4 Likes |

Please help...I mailed my Son's application for visa to the Atlanta consulate yesterday. I included a returned UPS envelope with tracking number. Will this be accepted or do I have to send USPS envelope..please I need a reply |
| Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 3 by shelly23: 5:27pm On Oct 31, 2015 |
As long as she arrives in the US before the visa expires, she'll be ok. She'll be stamped in for 6months and that trumps whatever's on her visa. Mandydaisy: |
. You just had your baby on 23rd. Anyway I believe you can get all documents asap but allow baby to be up to 2weeks if not more. I travelled at 2weeks and 2days. I had to run. No place like home
