Think it's ridiculous how they want to charge you for your own cord , it's from your own body and they want to charge you ? Wtf
Things are so different in CA though I just moved from long beach area a little over a year ago to Oregon and its soooo different up here.
That sucks! Not to mention how sketchy that is! I'm not going to be charged for mine the only charge I'll have is once the doula comes to pick up my placenta from the hospital she's going to encapsulate the placenta for me so I'll have to pay for her services and then they give you the cord as keep sake afterwards. Did you want yours for keep sake or cord blood banking?
@karlaesanchez terrible. I would not be paying for pieces of my own body
@kambam, grossmont in San Diego that's how it is in most hostpitals down here in sd
@karlaesanchez whats your hospital? never heard of that thats crazy 😨
@kambam, you don't have to , you have the option to keep it and if you want to you have to pay for it , there's no disputing on it that's how it is down here .
@karlaesanchez um thats weird! well just ask for it and if you see it billed its not like you have to pay 😂 I'd dispute that
@kambam, weird guess it's different down here then they charge you for it or they ask if you want to donate it
@karlaesanchez nope. I took my whole placenta and cord home
@kambam, look it up , they didn't ask you if you wanted to buy it in the hostpital?
@rainbow0601, your umbilical cord ? You have the option to buy it when it's coming out of your own body

Take your freaking shoes off!!!!!!
Why do people think its ok to walk on someone else's light colored carpet with their shoes on, and then give you a death glare when you tell them to remove their shoes. It's my house, you want to walk around in it...you will do so without your shoes on! It's not that much to ask, and also doesn't require a whole bunch of attitude either.

Preggies,

I obv knew you meant umbilical but was just confused what you meant.... Never heard of buying it. What's the benefit of doing that?
