Congrats on your successful entry.....but like I keep saying, JFK is it!!! You scan your passport and finger prints yourself on the computer and take your print out way before you meet the officer who in less than one minute puts the physical stamp on your passport. It's stress free

Praise be to God. I gave birth to a bouncing baby girl on Thursday!!

Walmart, Amazon, Burlington. I bought a delta children's sweet beginnings bassinet. was on sale for about $49 at the time. however, it requires coupling for use (screws et al) and uncoupling for your return trip. I like DIY so this was not a problem. I brought it back with me, it fit into one of those extendable bags and was not too heavy. If you do not want one that requires a lot of coupling, you can try the dream on me karley bassinet. I think its just a snapping mechanism to set up and dismantle. its about $70 i think.

Ok i assume you are tlkn abt bed for use in America.

I got a Summer infant sure and secure sleeper at burlingtons for abt $45. Its portable and travel safe. However i had tooo mch lugage and dint think id need it in naija. So i left it at my hosts. Hoping il find t useful for number 2.
(caveat): nt sure how mch it costs now.

There are always people in El Paso. Intown Suites will get full but there is a new package for accommodation at Extended Stay for the same price (but the hotel is much nicer) the patients are being referred there with a special rate and It should be filling up soon.

I tried both.

Uber is cheaper than lyft - maybe because uber reviewed their rates downwards for winter the period I was in Houston
The advantage uber had over yellow cabs apart from cheaper rates per km is uber doesn't charge when the car isn't moving- like traffic lights, waiting time, etc

Sorry my lovely e-love family with much love i write my missionary journey story thou its coming late
Birth in woman's hospital of texas in houston. Used a nice sweet doc buh she ended up not taking my delivery because she wasnt on duty wen i went into labour. And im glad cos it was in my prayer point always that any doctor that will be inpatient for me to push or have my baby my way should not be around, as am a VBAC candidate nd the risk involve is scary that they will discourage u at d end nd send u for c section. But God be praised as i met a calm, sweet, nd patient doctor nd my nurse oh no!!! Nurse bri God grant her her heart desires she was amazingly great nd sweet.. Kk back to d story God used them both because i went into labour nd it all happened fast nd specially because baby was big 4. 7kg which was on d 8th of feb Nd d doctor on call that took d delivery God bless her says if my doc was around i wld have been a c.s candidate but God be praised baby was checked immediately out nd everything went fyn with her. I had 2nd degree tear thou buh she stitched me as if she be tailour for her former life. Lolz,
Had wonderful nigeria nurses there after i was taken to my room they where nice nd amazing they made shure i was comfortable nd satisfied nd was always checking up on me. They where family as they made me felt at home. My baby's nurses where amazing too, i received every freebies in double because they where amazed with her weight for a norm delivery they even gave her a nick name. Sorry for the long post bill's as follows:
Test done plus ultrasound- 300 my Doctor says nija test wasnt genuine enuf mind u i was a csection candidate before, so she wants us to be on d safer side had to do other tests that she wasnt convinced about.
Doctor's fee- 1800
Hospital fee- 4681 2days stay
Pediatrician fee-320 for both test and 2days visit after delivery because baby had lil jaundice
Passport fee-165
B. C -23 collected only one in vital statistics 8000 north stadium drive Houston went 5 days after delivery so was able to get the main one.
Etc with mrs Stella i took d number here- 320 she was wonderful got it sent within 2days.
I left the US 2weeks after delivery as every documents was ready for us to leave. Collected my zero balance letter from the hospital. Love to birth in Womans hospital again.
Used uber all tru. Buh hospital, pediatricians office, nd doctor's office is on dsame street on fannin where my hotel was, was jus strolling in anytime i have appointment so uber was for shopping. It ended in praise im back home with heat treating us roughly. Thanks to my mentors on this forum dnt wanna start mentioning names u guys rock rock nd rock. Love u all.

Your visa transcript, we didn't see! Your POE story is no where to be found! Simply means, you don't have first hand experience in birthing!!!! What is all this El Paso marketing about!!! Ok, Justwise is coming for you!!!

Newbies (botar, bolof2012, natsuki), take some time out and read!!!!!! Do your research! If you can access this page means you can also access Google! Pls stop dropping your email addresses here! It's not safe at all. If you want to go to any state, Google hospitals in that state, call them to find out their prices, check oB/gyn affiliated to dem and also call. Some of them av facebook pages, drop a message there for them and see them respond Asap. For ur info, my latest research in phoenix, I got the doctor's email address after I dropped a message for him on facebook on dia page and voila! We are communicating. Nobody will work for you! Do your research, test the waters and come back to share your experience!

Vlesparza is actually a rep of doctoresparati.com so I think it's allowed for her cos they do paid adverts on nairaland. So biko make una free am.

What justwise is against is unpaid adverts which isn't fair on those that actually pay for theirs.

Natsuki:


Please do you have the contact??
