rant
my insurance doesnt cover the hospital i want to deliver at. it only covers one hospital in all of my city & basically all the women give birth in the emergency room with only a curtain seperating them & once they have the baby, they get their own room. i really dont want to deliver there at all. a friend told me her experience there & told me that she showed up really calm & prepared for labor & that next to her was a woman screaming her head off acting like she was getting killed & it made her so nervous & feel anxious as fuck about delivering.
that hospital brings back horrible memories bc thats where my dad has been hospitalized for getting strokes & when i was 15 i was also hospitalized there bc i tried to OD. i just never imagined i would have to deliver there. i wanted to have my own private room, with my ob helping me thru labor. not some random dr i dont even know & especially a male dr, the whole situation just makes me so sad. i really want to pay out of pocket to deliver at the hospital i want to, its 3600. i dont have the money bc i havent worked my whole pregnancy, but my baby's father & i want to talk to my dad & ask him to lend us the money & that we will pay it back to him monthly starting once i get a job. am i wrong or selfish for wanting to pay 3600?? its just such an important day for me, i feel so upset & stressed over the whole situation.

@_maria, did you talk to your dr about your situation?
Call your insurance & ask them if they have hospitals around your area that takes your insurance @_maria,
Once you get your bill you could always apply for state assistance and that'll cover a majority of it depending upon your income, expenses...etc. Ugh I can't even imagine, I hope it works out for you!
I gave birth at a private hospital, birth was assisted by suction, it took 22 hours and I got an infection so I was there for three extra days. So my birth cost more than one that would have been quick and simple, however, I'm glad I was in that hospital. They were so wonderful and well prepared to deal with any issues that could have happened. @_maria
try checking out alternative birth options too. I was forced into a c section, and I always thought water births were for hippie mom's, but after researching a little, you could get a doula and she will help deliver the baby.
the thing is, i only feel comfortable with my ob helping me in labor & she only helps in that hospital which is why i want to deliver there & not anywhere else. when i was on medicaid, medicaid covered that hospital. but i got taken off medicaid 4 weeks before my due date. its horrible. @mommy.to.sterling
Omg that's what happened to me. I didn't even know I would have to wait for an avalable delivery room. I was calm when I got to the hospital my contractions were 3 mins apart and very painful. I wanted an epidural asap. They left me waiting i a lobby for 1 and a half hour and then put me in triage where they simply attached a monitor on my belly and left me moaning. They said let's wait for a delivery room, all of them are taken. And I waited in pain for couple more hours. When they brought me to the delivery room I was 8 cm dilated and had to go through all the pain. Ended up having an emergency c-section. Different doctors were coming in. My delivery costed a total of $15000 after insurance.But you can get a loan to pay it of at no interest rate. Talk to the hospital you wanna labor in. Maybe they offer some payment options. And don't hesitate. Better pay the 💰 but have a safe delivery without stressing yourself and a baby
you know a hospital can't deny you treatment? and they can bill you later, and you can make payments in most cases.
what kind of insurrance do you have? you may be able to switch programs if it's medicaid.
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...
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...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Why Are Many Women Unaware of Their Own Anatomy?
the amount of women who are clueless about their own anatomy is so sad and shocking. a lot of the women are older than me and have more children then I do 😳
now I understand that everyone has their own opinion on the topic and grown adults can do whatever they want with their bodies but to deny facts and make up false statements about your own anatomy when it comes to your unborn child is just so disappointing.

Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
i'm just going to point out that legally if you are in labor a hospital cannot deny you treatment, regardless of ability to pay. I mean they can transfer you but if they're not completely full that would be irresponsible. it would be grounds for a hefty lawsuit
