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...

NEARLY DELIVERED IN CAR IN PARKING LOT!

By -


We had quite the exciting morning! Katie was in yesterday and I stripped her membranes good to "help" a little. She called me later that night with uterine irritability but then nothing until 0630 this am. Her water broke and now they were every 2-3 minutes and she had an hour drive from the East Coast! We were ready and waiting when I decided to call her to check on her and Joe answered saying they were 2 minutes out and the baby was coming. We waited in the parking lot and sure enough Katie was sitting on one butt check and the head was nearly crowning! We managed to get her into the bedroom and Dominic was born just minutes later....all 9lbs 6oz of him! Baby and mommy are wonderful and big sis is sooo excited. Congrats Katie, Joe, and Kirsten!

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...
