Does anyone know about midwives & doulas? Do they accept insurance or is it out of pocket?
If you've had one, how did you pay and what was your experience like?
I see a midwife at my doctors office and it's covered under insurance. From what I've heard they may not be able to see you if you are having multiples. Maybe it's different in different areas though.
My midwives are covered under my insurance. They are partnered with and OB group but they have their own office within the separate birth center. I would only see the OBs for serious issue or if I were to be transferred from the birth center to the hospital during birth. Doulas are more like birth coaches, that are typically not covered under insurance. They are with you from early in your pregnancy and help you with a birth plan and answer any questions. They're a like a support system for you, they're not really a medical person. They're to help you and your hubs/SO during the birth. At least that's how I understand it.
@setsailann, right. I'm only considered high risk because I'm having twins. I've seen plenty of YouTube videos of at home births. I just have to call around to find a good midwife in my area.
iSee that you're having twins, some mid wives might not deliver twins bcos they might consider it a high risk pregnancy.
Oh... @suprise4 I go to a Drs office now but really want to switch to a midwife or have both if I can because I really want an at home birth.
Yes, I had to see everyone one on staff even though a doctor would be delivering my baby via c-section.
@setsailann, oh really? That's good. We don't have Medicaid though.
@suprise4, that's awesome. Do you go to a Drs office? Are you planning an at home birth?
midwives are covered under insurance at least I know the one at the practice I go to is.
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...

Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
