I miss Cali, I was born and raised in San Diego County (: we moved out of state when my hubby got out of the USMC. His work insurance is the same way, apparently we had missed the enrollment period when he first started working there :-/ I've heard tho that even with the deductible your still paying for most of it anyways.

@coltroyalsmama1224, yes 2k to 5k here too! More or less lol I'm in California and for his job you can only switch insurance every October (if they even had one that covered water births ) sighs!

@preg_bunny, no it's different :( cuz he works for the county sheriffs department and you can only switch every October

water births down here are just crazy expensive! anywhere between 2k-5k!

yeah I'm having the same problem :-( I had my son in WI where state insurance covered everything for the midwife and water birth. but in AZ they are a pain in the ass! I've only found two places that are affordable and they are 2 hours away from me :-/ but the hospital my midwife delivers at is hoping to allow water births soon! hopefully before my baby is born! :'/ it's so frustrating :'/

@coltroyalsmama1224, cuz I was trying to do a home birth or at a birth center but it's so expensive :( and we are already in debt and ugh totally crying right now 😭😭😭💔💔💔

I think it's still open enrollment for insurance, you can look into switching maybe?

@coltroyalsmama1224, I did but the birth centers charge too much and the home birth midwives charge $3000 :(

look into home births and birth centers! water births are amazing ♡
