My husband was going to get insurance at work but it would cost us $800 a month. That is enough to pay cash fo a baby. However we can't afford to do it all on my Dr.'s time scedule. I don't qualify for any insurance plan I can find and all I have found are places that work out a discount up to 60% for the Dr visits, but then I am paying them every month. I don't want to be on medicaid because I can pay something. Do they let you pay a little bit each month if you are on medicaid? Are nurse midwives a decent option and are they cheaper? (My Dr would cost $2900, plus all the test and the sonograms, and not counting the hospital bill) Please help.

ok i am 35.5 weeks pregnant. I have been having cramping for about a week and a half, which has turned out to be early contractions, nothing significant yet. It just feels like menstrual cramps. I have also lost my plug on the 29th with no blood, and have been having softer more frequent bowel movements for about two weeks. Well, just yesterday i was told that my cervix is is softening and effaced....but i was not told how effaced on account of he is not my normal doctor, and he said he has no previous examinations to base it off of...so my question is...

what are your stories of effacement..(with your first pregnancy)...how long after being effaced did you dilate...how long do you think it could be for me till i deliver....just curious on everyones previous experience and what you think may happen for me.

Thanks!!
P.S. I am still trying to figure out this site..is it possible for me to respond to your answers..if so HOW? lol..thanks

Has anyone ever been tricked or been the tricker to get pregnant? Did you tell the tricked? How did they react?

I am still nursing her, and she is not at ALL liking the homogenated milk, nor even 2%. I've given it cold, and warmed to room temp, but she makes faces and spits it out. Any advice on how to make this transition?

Any advice would be appreciated!! :o)

Thanks in advance!

Who is buying the TMX elmo for their child? and how much are they paying for it or selling it for? I do not want one, I think they are a waste of money...All it does is laugh, slap it's leg, falls over, gets back up....It will be in the closet in a few months. I am not buying one.

What was the differences in your pregnancies? Between your first, second, third and so on. And what were the differences between morning sickness, first movements things like that. Did you have boys or girls or both? Im just curious :) Thanks!!!!

Normally my mother keeps our children, so this is the very first time I have ever hired an outside sitter. She is the daughter of our preacher. We have 3 boys, 6, 5 and 16 months. The 6 and 5 year olds will go to bed at 7:30 PM. We will already have them ready for bed. The 16 month old will go to bed at 8:30. We are going to the ballet, we will be gone from 6:45-9:30. How much should I pay her? Do I need to call her and see if she wants something in paticular to drink? Any other little tips that I should know for babysitting etiquite? Thanks.

See the thing is my boyfriend's name is Terrence and I don't want it to be exactly alike. But I want people to be able to say oh u named him after his dad. P.S I love krazy idiotic catchy names.

She hasn't had her period in months. Her stomach is getting big and she was positive on a home pregnancy test. She keeps eating the pickles and ice cream out of the ice box.

I have very sore breasts. I have been very tired too. I really can't believe that the test was negative because I never feel this way. Why would my breasts be so sore if I wasn't pregnant?

I have had very sore breasts but the blood test was negative. I never have sore breasts. Not even when I get my period. I wonder why I feel very tired and moody too.

My soon to be 9 year old son has a hard time focusing on his schoolwork. He gets distracted by any little thing. Any sound will distract him, his younger sister making any sound will distract him, etc. He's used to sounds and I've never kept a quiet house. It's just the distraction issue. He hates doing schoolwork. I have tried using timers to help him focus, but that just agitates him and keeps him from working as well. I do not have the television on, so that is not an issue either. Are there any good ideas I can try to help him keep focused on his schoolwork?

I've been with the company for 2 months and just found that I'm expecting (YAY!). I'm expecting a bonus in December after my 3 months probation period is done. My plan is tell my boss at the end of my first trimester (beginning of Jan) and to work until the end of my 2nd trimester (mid-April). I don't intend to return to work for several years at least, but don't necessarily want to burn bridges. Thoughts?
