Insurance

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...

Mother's Day and International Midwives Day Celebration

By -
Yesterday was our Mother's Day Celebration. We were joined by many of our birthin' mamas here at the center to honor them for their support for midwifery and to just plain old say Thank You. The work we do is so rewarding for us that we want wach of you to know how much we appreciate you.

For those of you who missed our little shin-dig, there was food galore! Our local Mirena (IUD) representative donated TooJays deli food...there were sandwiches, salads, cookies, rugulache (SP?) cakes (thank you Valeria!) and more food from my caterer friend Drew who brought the most scrumptious veggie wraps! The food was terrific.

Misti, our twin expecting student midwife, read the Proclamation for International Midwives Day (05/05/09), which reminds me to remind each of you to please sign up and become a member of the Florida Friends of Midwives and support your right to have a midwife attend your birth. If the state representatives don't know what you want they can't protect your rights, girls.

I will post some pictures from our celebration as soon as Rebecca sends them to me.

Thank you all for coming out and Thanks for being such wonderful friends!

Michelle, Kaleen, Rebecca, Karin, Crystal and Kristen

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.

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...
