Congratulations!! You took a pregnancy test and it came out positive. Then you scheduled a consult and tour at our birth center. And while you visited us, we put together an estimate for your insurance coverage. Most people really don't understand how their insurance plans actually work. I mean, they understand that they have insurance but they often don't understand why they have to pay anything out of pocket or a how we come up with the estimate, so we thought we would help break this down for you.  But first: there are different ways people obtain insurance plans. Some employers include insurance plans are a benefit to working with their company. Employers will contract with different insurance companies and each employer might offer different plans to different employees, so just because you have Cigna, as an example, it doesn't mean all Cigna plans are the same. Also, some people purchase their own insurance plans directly from insurance companies or from the Marketpla

10/18/08: Birth of Ava

By -
I think we all expected, including this mommie, to have an earth mama type of birth...and see, this is just what happens!! Side note: I thought when I was having my babies that I was so well informed, so prepared. I knew it all (again with the mechanics of birth) and when it did not go as smooth as glass i thought i was doing it wrong. I thought: It shouldn't hurt this much...but it did. It shouldn't take this long...but it did. After 25+ years this is what I have learned. Don't go into birth with any expectations of what it is going to be like!! Or maybe just any preconcieved (heehee) ideas of how it will be.

Ava's birth took a while. Not a long while, less than 12 hours, but longer at the time than this mom thought it might take. I suppose we all hope to be the lucky one, the one with the fast birth story or (angels signing) the great and mysterious ORGASMIC BIRTH!!! Okay, todays birth was far from orgasmic. But it was tolerable. and beautiful, and graceful and a blessing.

So welcome to the bright light Miss Ava. You are a beauty and we are glad to see your rosy little face. Thanks Jacqueline (sp?) for all of your help, you were fantastic! And thanks to Kristen adn Jason for sharing your birth with us. It was beautiful and you two are fantastic!

Miss Ava Wilson born on Saturday October 18th 2008 at 11:48pm.
8 pounds 2 ounces, 20 1/2 inches long.

Posterior Baby??

By -
OPTIMAL BABY POSITIONING Adapted from "Sit Up and Take Notice" by Pauline Scott A baby's position can have a major influence on the kind of labor a woman experiences and the way her baby is born. Encouraging a baby to lie in the most effective position for his journey through his mother's pelvis increases chances of a spontaneous and straightforward childbirth, something that every woman hopes and prays for. And what's more, unborn babies instinctively want to move into the most effective position for birth too! What position is my baby in? Anterior Position Your baby's back is facing your front. The anterior position is the most common position and the most effective one for your baby's journey through the pelvis. The baby is either on the left or right side. Most babies prefer lying on the left side, which is the path of least resistance. Babies on the right side should be encouraged to move to the left. • Your baby's movements feel like a ro

Melinda: ““When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.” ‭‭John‬ ‭16:21‬ ‭‬‬ How true this scripture is. From the time we checked into H2H, it was pure agony. I wanted to give up so many times, in fact I voiced that quite a few times. However, as soon as Blaine handed me our Thomas Edward, I didn’t remember the pain. All I cared about was my sweet Thomas was finally here & he was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t have done this without my amazing support system I had the entire step of the way.
