My dear!
You're right. There's not much special about the USA. We go there to give birth just because we can. And because we feel like. And we can afford to by Gods grace.

On my own side I also don't understand why some people:
- Smoke cigarettes, weed, etc
- have tattoos
- spend money climbing mount Everest
- go skydiving, bungee jumping
- have plastic surgery
- have body piercings
- drink alcohol, or even coca cola every blessed day
- Etc etc
Perhaps I can just judge them as having money to waste... or perhaps not, because I have come to realise that it's not for me to understand everyone and what's important to them my brother/sister.

To each his own!
Cheers!

Everything yaff gone up.

Fuel, tomatoes, yam, dollar, sma gold.

Only coke and pepsi remember to dash us 20% more coke inside ds inflation. So dat we can drink away our sorrows and fill our lives with empty calories.

Mtn and co even tried too. They reduced data tarriff, mayb we shd start downloading fuel and tomatoes with free data.

And someone asked why we are having our babies in US? Maybe he's not from the same hellhole we are living in! As for d 6 bottles of coke... what if I work with Cocacola and have free drinks every month

Hi Dialinn,

Please, do you mind giving me tips on how you got your accommodation?

Thanks

Hi Jinglesbaby, was in Houston last April and met with managers of some of the apartment homes extremely close (within walking distance) to the hospital and Dr. Xydas office and after some interview sessions, a couple of them agreed based on certain conditions (like upfront payment) to rent 1b/2b apartments depending on my preference. The 1b which is my preference cost between $800 to $900/mth aside from other little fees like trash and water fee. There's also a refundable caution fee. To be honest, my physical presence in the US at that time made it extremely easy to discuss, negotiate and agreed with them on pricing. They however advised that we re-initiate further engagement a mth b4 arrival which would also necessitate actual payment.

Hope the foregoing provides detailed insight. Thanks

Nef, wallahi drinking coke is a vice. Hides my addict face.

Hi Dialinn,
U seem to have d closest info. Can u help assist wt d names of d accommodation close by the northwest medical centre and cost range.

Hi Dora, there are quite a lot of apartment homes around that vicinity, the closest to the hospital and doctor's office being country club apartment homes, champion courts apartments, copper lodge, wyndham apartments, rock creek @ hollow tree and portofino landing apartments. The first 2 mentioned are the closest tho. Each of them have their various pricing and other terms and conditions. Pricing is also dependent on the timing of use. Pricing range for 1b for the period relevant to me (i.e. Aug 2016) is from $800/mth. it could however be lower during other periods. Thanks

Dem no go get US passport. Your 3m for sightseeing can't even buy that. Politics section is a few clicks in the other direction. You can debate with them over there. Be careful, there's a lot of hormones raging here, you don't want to be in the line of fire

Abeg free the poor soul, his moniker says it all, he's addicted to women Meanin all he does during winter is to warm up old hags in the US. Gigolo oshi. I don't knoe if any of us borrowed money from your ancestors which I'm sure they are no position to give. Please just jejely carry ur bad luck back to ur imaginary US. Maybe he's even in maputo who knows. Msteeeeeeeew gboro mi de le ru, omo akodanidani.

Choi. see yab. You folks here would do very well in the politics section with all these yabs.

yeah, thanks dear. Something positive might come up for me so keeping my fingers and toes crossed! My mum and her friends are doing speed netwrking amongst their ANCOPSS friends! They all dnt want me to stay alone. On a second thought, it would b really nice to have experienced hands around, I really dnt want to stress myself at all. Still dnt know how I will do my shopping sef if I'm by myself! Pray it all goes well.
Thanks for sharing once again. GBU.

I applied for my baby's on a Tues and got it back on Fri.
Avoid the embassies where these agents work, cos your application will be under the pile.
From reviews, use Washington DC and NY
Times are hard, let's not waste money on what we can do ourselves.
Note that weekends and holidays will increase processing times, even if you expedite the processing

Amen thank u

Hello mamas n papas,
To the glory of God my LO arrived on 24th of May via CS and rly trying to heal+adjust to surreal vigil. I initially planned to use a birthcenter though I likewise registered @ a hospital cos pregnancy is highly unpredictable! Well to cut 2 d chase, my baby who had been cephalic @ last uss turned breech and water already broke, amniotic fluid was leaking+lo passed meconium.

These American docs sabi work shaa! I had eaten that morning but was given a fluid to drink which won't make me puke. I was terrified of cs(i have never had any surgery in my life b4) though I watch a lot of medical soaps. Thank God for being present as the chief surgeon.

Total bill - $8,840.75c lol (doc, hosp. stay, labour n delivery etc)

I am using the proof of birth from d hospital 2 start documentation as BC takes wks.

I pray that God will bless all expectant moms n dads with ur heart desires; from visa to poe to delivery and even as these children grow they'll radiate the glory of God.

Hello all
Got to dallas Wednesday @32 weeks & had my babies Thursday.

Let me start by saying that any man that says women are frail/fragile should castrated!
The lengths we go for the ones we love shows more strength than they will ever understand.

I must also congratulate you on your resilience and determination.You have offered those girls a privilege that is beyond money or power. You offered them a future.

Your faith worked alot. The Lord also blessed your life with the miracle of their birth and for that we say: PRAISEEEEEE THE LORD! Can i get an AMEN from the sisters?

Although please i will advice against taking such risks next time especially as it was ivf.

First Oakbend isnt in sugar land. Ts in Richmond. But depending on what part of sugarland u r in, ts abt 15 mins or less.

Secondly i dunno abt the price u got and fortunately i paid the old price bcz i registered before april. so cnt b of mch help either.

Thirdly i used Dr Z and he was fantastic. Hes office is right in the hospital complex. Doctors pavillion.
Hope that helps.
