Omg I had such a rough day yesterday. I'm not much of a sharer, but I have to know if I'm the only person in the world that feels so royally screwed by our new healthcare system! My husband and I started trying last February to conceive after waiting 9 YEARS until we felt financially ready and stable in our marriage to have another child. I found out in August while checking to make sure my health insurance covered maternity, that it had been cancelled July 1 due to the Affordable Care Act and that I needed a new policy. The only problem was: the lowest costing plan was 3 times the price of my old one! I spent some weeks fretting over what to do, found out I was pregnant, (yay great timing!), and began preparing for our out of state move for hubs' job in October, knowing I had 60 days to make a decision. So I chose a plan in Kentucky because the 60 days ended before the move (gggrrrr) and went to a doctor at the end of September. We moved, the policy didn't work out of state so I had to cancel and had to wait til open enrollment to get a new one because we were so broke from the move. So here I am, 24 weeks, have not been to the doctor in 14 weeks or so, because we make too much money to get a subsidy or free healthcare, but not enough to afford an extra car payment, which is what it would cost to get lousy insurance that won't pay any of my damn medical bills 😡. I feel backed into a corner, MAD, helpless. Is anyone else having this issue!??

Thanks guys! That makes me feel better. @love2beloved I'm in Ohio too. Dayton area.
Don't stress, and take your prenatal vitamins. I know its stressful, trust me. My first born I couldn't get in to see a Dr at all until I was 21 weeks. She's now a beautiful healthy almost 4 yr old. It shouldn't be so hard for a pregnant women to get insurance.
a friend of mine just went through this. I was visiting one day a few weeks back & she spent hrs on the phone with her husband company & the insurance place. & after many calls & angry conversations, they got everything settled. but shehas been waiting for months, she's due in 3 weeks & they just moved back to ohio from California. it's ridiculous. I'm sorry you have to go through all this, just try to stay positive & hope for something to happen.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
I'm I. Findlay, it's near toledo, ohio. the Healthcare here sucks just as much. I was on ym dad insurance when I had my daughter, fully covered, but had a falling out & left my ex. so I was forced to get medicaid. my daughter is covered on her dads insurance now, but medicaid only covers so much & I have a lot of health issues that aren't covered, luckily they have an awesome pregnancy program.
