Good to read all the lovely POE and birthing stories. God will perfect all our plans IJN.

"As regards Dr fagbohun, i will give a comprehensive breakdown of his charges when wife puts to bed. My only advice is intending users shouldn't waste money doing all the tests in Nigeria because he may still ask you to rerun like 80% of it. So just do a few. I wasted some cash on this already. All in all its been fun."

@Tvegas: Good to hear your own POE experience, I am sure your Americana baby go know say him papa dey town. My wife's next appointment with Dr. Fagbohun is this Wednesday, it won't be bad if you guys can form a small naija-Fagbohun football team o. I'll send a PM to you.


Please where's your wife staying in Houston, TX? I'm looking for somewhere for my cousin to stay; she wants to come in after Xmas, and will be seeing Dr. Fagbohun as well.

@ Tha Guv,
The Doctor fees may differ, if your wife asks her friend...am sure she will be paying a different amount from my wife.

The doctor fees covers the lab tests, but not hospital stay.

I stated that the hospital fees is 2500 dollars. There are different factors that determine how much you end up paying. 1. The number of tests you are required to do. 2. the time at which you registered with the Doctor (for e.g if you register at less than 32 weeks, you may still require some other tests compared to someone who registered at 34 weeks; just an illustration). 3. If there is any complications, type of delivery etc...

My wife did most of the tests in Nigeria before travelling so we saved some money.

Once Sheri replies the mail, she will include the list of all lab tests and the fees, Dr La's fee and any other fees....

@favored gal,
My wife's first appointment with Dr La went well. I asked Dr La if he used Memorial Hermann, he said he doesn't use them anymore and that WHMC is cheaper. We were able to do most of the tests in Naija so that helped us saved some money, we have paid $2775 so far. This includes doctors fees, a full scan, and other lab tests that are compulsory in the US.

We are yet to pay for the hospital fees ($2500), my wife will be paying that next week. Guess she will be seeing emispackage next week....

so far I am impressed with the service received at Dr La Office and i have no regrets. I have also referred 2 persons since my wife's last appointment with him.

Thanks emispackage for your support.

todimski: Hello all
this forum has been fantastic. Please I would appreciate your help
my first birth was difficult and I would like to have my second in the US. I intend to
1. Fill my form declaring that the purpose of my visit is to give birth in the US and then vacation affer.
2. By the time I appear for the interview it will be obvious would also state same when asked. This is to clear any doubt at any POE since it is not illegal to go give birth in the US. Of course I will have handy al necessary documentation and cash.
what are my chances
