Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 July 2006

I know I can't be the only one who's had this problem. I changed jobs about a month before I found out I was pregnant. I have 30 days before I can qualify for insurance but the policy says they won't cover "pre-existing" conditions, including pregnancy existing on the date of coverage. Can they deny a pregnant women coverage? Even if I did qualify, the deductible is $5000 which is about the cost of maternity care and delivery anyways. Do I have any options so this pregnancy won't be a huge financial burden?

my wife and i tried like hell to have our first child. after a few months it put a damper on my self esteam. but fortunately to our request we ended up pregnant. we had a beautiful daughter almost 4 months ago. since then we have been very very careful, and now she is late. i know there is a possibility, but how much of this change can be due to her breast feeding. last month her cycle was on for a day off for a day..ect..

I think it's a tad backwards that as a single mom, if I were irresponsible, addicted to drugs, and a complete failure, my family would not hesitate to take custody of my son. Yet as a responsible drug/disease free, tentative mom, I can barely get them to babysit for a few hours so that I can get a break. Not to justify it, but could this be what leads so many young moms to make the terrible decision to harm themselve and/or their children? Between work, school, and playing with the kids, frustration can build up if Moms don't get a break. Why doesn't anyone care until it's too late? Couldn't we decrease the amount of child abuse and murder cases if we as a community, not necessarily the government, showed some support to the many single moms out there?

We had her laughing a couple of days ago, and it was just adorable! Since then, I've only gotten some chuckles and lots of smiles. I've run out of things to try. Has anything worked for you at this age?

The doctors tell me she's now in the 80th percentile, but what should she weight. She's 17 pounds and 25 inches long. Length is 50th percentile, so that's fine.

My husband is going to school right now to be a mechanic, so he is in school from 7:30am (he usually goes early to study...) to 1:30pm. Then he goes to work until at least 8:00pm during the week. He also works on Saturday from 7:30am to around 5:30pm. Unless my two-year-old son is in a really good deep sleep he wakes up when my husband is getting ready to leave. Our little guy instists on getting out of bed and following his daddy around the house. My husband ususally has a few minutes to sit with him (our son is too tired to try to play anything) and most of the time our son asks to watch one of his movies. So my husband will put one in and finish getting ready, then watch it with him for a few minutes if he has time before he needs to leave. My son follows Daddy to the door and cries when he leaves, he does this whether I'm in the room or not. I know that this is pretty normal since right now he doesn't get to spend a lot of time with his daddy, but how can we help him?

We have been trying to teach my 5 year old colors, numbers, and letters for 3 years. He still doesn't reconize any colors, numbers or letters. He has been in school since he was 3 and has made some progress but not much. He's behind all other 5 year olds. He has also been in speech therapy for 2 years, having been diagnosed with a devlopmental delay.
