[quote author=cutelass post=45384936]Guess I've rested enough. Here's my story. About 10 days before my travel date, swelling on my legs which had always been minimal increased so much. Even after raising the legs up at night, the moment my feet touches ground in the morning the swelling returns. 3 days before my travel, I used the home bp monitor to check my bp and it was ranging btw 140/80 and 145/85. I immediately drove to hospital. Nurse on duty checked with the manual bp monitor and another young dr checked and it was still high. They had to call my consultant. He ordered they check my urine for protein and nothing came up...he eventually came himself, checked the bp and said it was normal. 3 days later I travelled with Lufthansa on a united ticket at 34 weeks + some days. Requested for wheelchair and they said since I brought fit to fly I can't use wheel chair. I was shocked cos several pple here have used wheelchair. They agreed to book for my mum cos of her arthritis yet we didn't see any wheelchair neither at Frankfurt nor LAX. We flew to Frankfurt and had a 4 hrs layover b4 we flew to LAX. All the while, my mum was so worried about the swelling. POE was a breeze. Cbp: what are you here for? Me: childbirth Cbp: ok. How long are u here for? Me: 2 months Cbp: sorry, what did u say u are here for again? Me: childbirth, delivery, to have my baby (lol...that's d type of confidence saying the truth at the embassy gives u) Took our finger prints and stamps us in for 6 months. We went to agriculture...the officer was busy shouting to the guy scanning the bags...Nigeria, Nigeria, lol...our bags were scanned but we weren't asked to open it. When we got to my aunty's house...the legs had tripled in size and she insisted I see the dr immediately ( my appt wasn't till another 4 days). We called his office and luckily he was still around...said they close at 5pm. It was already 4pm...so without eating or anything...they drove us to the dr office. My relations went in to greet him (they had known him for a long time) I had no idea, while I filled out the forms. When I saw the dr, my bp had shot up to 159/100. He told me point blank to head straight to the hospital as I had developed pre-eclampsia and baby had to be induced immediately. He said the financial dept would have closed for the day and they don't open weekends...so we had only the next day to pay and sign the contract...cos if I deliver without signing it...I would be left with a bill of over $40k. Got to the hospital and was admitted. Was placed on magnesium IV to prevent seizure...while they ran tests...the same ones I would have done with the doctor's office. Next day my mum sorted the bills...while they brought the papers for me to fill...despite the induction starting Thursday night...i didn't deliver till almost mid day Saturday...cervix no gree dilate till...was almost heading to OR for c-section b4 LO came forth...I hadn't eaten in almost 48 hrs...day said no food, no water...was just allowed to chew ice...where the strength to push came from...I don't know. The main testimony is that LO didn't need to go to NICU...was almost peeing in my pant when the thought of it came to my mind...cos of bills...she was just in the nursery...they did hearing test...checked for jaundice...was later discharged. LO is 3 weeks old currently. Used st Francis medical center and dr. Mb---u. Hospital bill $2700 for vag. Delivery (includes paediatrician, epidural (the thing wore off towards the actual delivery). Stayed an extra day which cost $900 (covers both me and baby). Hospital gives free stroller. I've gotten zero balance. Dr fees had always been 1500 and 2500 for vag and csection respectively. When I got here...saw it was now 1000 and 1300...was told the dr considered the current economic situation in Nigeria and decided to slash his self-pay fees. Hmmm...Angels still dey dis earth Shaa. Since baby came early, wanted to shift my date but United wants an arm and a leg just to change date...I'm chilling (mum is here with me, hubby is coming, wonderful Hi dear thank God for your miracle and congrats on the arrival of your cutie. Please can you kindly provide more detailed info on the hospital and doctor you used? For instance 1. Where the hospital is located? As in the city. 2. Doctors details such as phone number, email address. Am very much interested to try this option instead of el paso I was thinking of. Thank you for your anticipated assistance. 1 Like |

Good day beautiful mamas and papas in the house! Thank you for all you do to make this forum worthwhile. I gave birth to a very cute boy on Monday through VD! He weighed 4.1kg. Atlanta moms, please can someone be kind enough to tell me if any notary public can sign the consent form for my LO's passport or it has to be US embassy notarised? We don't stay in Lagos and my husband wouldn't want to travel to Lagos except if that is the only option. Thank you. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Omo these people dey vex o. How can it be a crime to take up a selfvpay package deal?. I was badly thrown aback when I was refused last week ; I can even tell you I've gotten over the refusal, I hope the air clears out soon on the issue of low or too cheap bills. In trying to get stuff together for my next Visa application I have called MIHS to get a fresh letter from them but no show them no gree. Haping on the fact that they gave zero balance letter before and that if d embassy needs to verify they should contact them. But my heart tells me them go soon calm down .... I've thatt feeling. It is well. |

Momo13: Hi @Momo, I don't think you need to put the hospital name as organisation and contact person if you have got family / friends you are staying with. I applied for B2 visa with hubby about a month and half ago and we were granted. In the place of contact person , we filled our family friends' details and organisation we left the field empty. We went with our burden of proof and the only thing the VO requested for was hospital correspondence which we passed acrossed to him, in the pile it had the evidence of deposit we had made so far and he confirmed from us as well. I don't think you should fret. If you can start up correspondence with your intended hospital ASAP, it is best you do, otherwise as you have been advised be truthful with the VO and let him/her know you intend changing hospitals based on further research you are currently doing which is not yet finalised. All the best 1 Like |

Maggie0133:I haven't used mine yet. I'm yet to travel but it's either a you use the fit to fly form on the emirates website or get a fit to fly letter from your doctor stating the things emirates highlighted on the website(things that should be in the letter). I printed out the fit to fly form, gave it to my doctor to fill and sign. I may also add a letter to be on the safe side. Please note the date on the form must be 14days to 48hours to your travel. Meaning that you shouldn't bring a form signed by your doctor a while ago. It must be recent |

[quote author=ebiv post=45488534]Thanks for your response... I just have plenty questions.. - Was it just d fruit cup and pizza they offered to him for throughout the journey? Or did they give him his own kids meal?if yes plsw what kind of food? - Also the meal voucher is it for everyone who I had to ask what meal they had for toddlers and she said fruits and vegetables,i asked for fruits and I got the cup,to my knowledge they didn't have proper kids meal(i might be wrong tho)I think the meal voucher is for everyone traveling long haul. 1 Like |
