bibiliscious: Good morning , Happy Eid Al Fitr!!
Please who has the current bill for Memorial Hermann Houston TX and their direct contact email. DR LA has now moved from WHMC to Memorial Hermann though his office has sent the proposed bill for Memorial Hermann but i want to try and re-confirm cz i have been hearing they have increased prices.
Also what's the latest time an expectant mother can fly international (is 34-36 weeks too late?) Latest time to travel depends on the airline you are flying with, and I guess also depends on how strong you feel - confirm with the airline what their policy is. I travelled at 35weeks+6days on a 10hr flight đŠ |

Kesspru: Hi everyone. Please has anyone birthed recently in Houston? Kindly assist with how long it took for babyâs passport to be issued. I want to book a flight so I am looking at having a timeline that covers the whole duration as changing flight dates may attract high fares with the rate airlines charges so high now. Please help a sister. Thank you so much I applied for my babyâs passport on Jan 20th and it was out by Jan 24th. However, I had to show a travel reservation/ticket that showed we were traveling within 14days from the passport application date. 1 Like |

SimiMaya: Thank you so much. Found this very helpful. To add him on my lap is about $66 but to pay for a seat was about $808. AirCanada. I found myself in an unfortunate situation where my return ticket had a layover in Canada, now I have to apply for a transit visa for myself. Iâm just concerned about processing time but looks like I have no choice.
Is there a possibility of asking the airline to reroute your flight? I worry about the processing time for the Canadian visa. |
Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Pwinkle1(f): 11:34am On Jan 28, 2023 |
SimiMaya: Oh I see.
I am already talking to the airline to add my baby, thank you so much. It just looked like the information on the website of most airlines require a ticket- whether in lap or on seat. And needed me to procure a seat if I wanted to use a car seat.
So how would the baby bassinet work for take off and landing? Is there a restraint? Thank you so much for taking your time to respond to me.
Hey! I think what happens is that some people who have bigger babies and donât want the discomfort, they buy a full ticket so the baby can use the car seat on the seat. However, for a smaller baby the bassinet will work just well - I presume your baby is still new-ish, so your lap/bassinet will serve the purpose, save your coins Sis! |

Chipe:
Thank you @Pwinkle1. I got a response from Dr F. yesterday with the quote.
Dear Mama's, I have some concerns....
It was mentioned in the mail that mothers expecting a singleton should arrive by 34 weeks. I have bought flight tickets already and I will arrive by 35 weeks 4 days. Should I be concerned?
$200 is required to be paid for appointment date to be issued. Does Oakbend accept this payment by transfer? I don't have someone that can help me pay by cash?
If I sort out No 2. concern above, will I be registered at 36 weeks in Oakbend MC given by No. 1 concern.
Thank you in advance
Hi mama, The $200 is to the doctor and not the hospital. Ask them if they would accept any other means of payment than cash and see what the response will be? If you arrive later than 34weeks, I THINK you might still be attended to. But you can clarify via your communication with the doctors office on their thoughts regarding this. |

Chipe: Thanks @Debbieeeeeee and @Pwinkle for the guidance provided in my previous request. I have booked flight for 20th April to Houston.
I sent mail to Oakbend Medical Centre few days ago for quote but no response yet. I also checked Dr F. online and got his number but I couldn't reach him. I understand that he can provide both the doctor's and hospital quotations.
Can someone PM me his email address so that I initiate correspondence with him and book my appointment early.
Thanks in advance Hey mama! Send me a DM I can share the email with you. |
Travel / Re: Give Birth In USA: Cost And Procedures Part 6 by Pwinkle1(f): 3:25pm On Dec 04, 2022 |
Congratulations mama!! I think 35weeks is fine, you can do earlier if you wish and donât mind staying for a while before you give birth. Itâll be advisable to book a return ticket because what if youâre asked at POE? If you donât have itâll signal you wanting to stay back in the country. I donât think itâs too early to contact a doctor; the earlier the better and I guess you have the luxury of time to shop around for more alternatives. Lastly, because your visa was given for a different reason Iâd advise that you write to the embassy to inform them that you are planning on Travelling to give birth there on your already existing visa. Whether or not they respond at least it would be documented that you communicated this to them . Also have it handy at POE in case you get asked, you just never know. All the best! Chipe: Good day @all,
I have read through the thread and previous ones as well and I appreciate everyone that contributed to the information available on this platform.
My EDD is 22nd May 2023, Is it okay to book a flight now and how soon can I travel?..I am contemplating @ 35 weeks.
Must I book a return ticket?
Any airline running promo?
Is it early to contact a doctor and hospital now? I am just 16 weeks gone
Any Mama that will be traveling same period and planning to use Oakbend should reach out to me.
I have a B1/B2 visa issued this June for a pre-employment training in Atlanta, the organization facilitated in schedulingthe interviewat the embassy. I later got a more stable offer in my current place of work same June and didn't travel again. I took in Mid-August.
While I understand the implications, I didn't want to re-apply due to difficulty getting an interview date. I have prove of the correspondence with the organization even when flights have been booked and I eventually communicated I wouldn't be coming again. Any advice?
Apologies for the plenty questions 2 Likes |

Hello, I need some help please - do you mind sharing hospital contacts with me? I also tried sending you a DM ![smiley](https://www.nairaland.com/faces/smiley.png) Mrsoriginality: Dr. Fagbohun, has birthed a lot if Nigerian women and he's thr best. And super nice, je will pray with you begite start yhe section. All the best.
I am traveling to Houston next week and the delivery of my child is due on 20th Dec. I have a place to live in Katy, however, I have not not been able to figure out the doctor and hospital. I have been following this forum for some time. I got in touch with a few hospitals and doctors and got their cost. The closest hospital to my place is Houston Methodist West Hospital (Katy) and the price of the this hospital is USD 5900 (exclusive of all other costs), they have shared with me the list of physicians as well (as attached) who are affiliated with this hospital. Not sure, which of these physicians would be the cheapest in terms of cost and can offer a good all inclusive package. Please advise if you know any of the physicians who can give a good cost for C-section and is affiliated to Houston Methodist West Hospital (Katy). Or the cheapest option for physician and hospital close to Katy.
Also, I found that the cost of Oak bend medical center is USD 5,100 (which I have found as the cheapest so far from all the hospitals I talked to) however, it is far off from my place. I have been able to speak with one of the physicians (Dr Fagbohun Funsho) affiliated to Oak bend medical center, whose price is USD 2,200 (includes C section cost and one ultrasound) and they told me they can offer me a full package and other related estimated costs of anesthesia, paedratics, lab tests etc. once I meet them for appointment. Can you advise the best option in terms of cost in terms of 1) a physician can provide a total package for all the costs including hospital cost 2) cheapest hospital and cheapest affiliated physician cost separately.
Thank you in advance
