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...

12/08/09: New Building Update

By -
Hello all, quick update on the building and the move: the final inspection is scheduled for tomorrow for the certificate of occupancy. I don't see how it will happen...but I am a bit skeptical at this point. the sink cabinets are in but I think there was a plumbing issue. the cabinets had not been delivered as of today, which means countertops couldn't be installed. If the inspection is not passed tomorrow I think we will be behind another full week. I am trying to not be too disappointed but it is hard being all packed up and disorganized when we are used to running a pretty tight ship. And the not knowing is the frustrating part. If I just had someone saying " Michelle, it will not be until after Jan 1" I would be okay. Ah well. With all the confusion I forgot to blog in two births. I will do them as separate entries though. I will update everyone tomorrow with the inspection results and the final move date.

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...
