Newbie Checking In

DizzyDP

Hi, I'm new here. DH and I are planning to TTC. We want to save a little money first b/c we just found out that our insurance does not cover any maternity/delivery costs. So, we want to save a little prior to pregnancy and then save the rest while we are pregnant.

I'm really nervous about telling our parents and families as they have often said that we are too focused on our careers when actually, we just wanted time to enjoy our marriage before TTC. (We were married towards the end of 2008, and I graduated from school and started my new career since then.)

I'm also nervous about making the right decisions. I'm worried that if we decide to have a MW, she'll be mean during delivery or if I choose to have an MD, s/he'll want to induce me b/c I'm not progressing fast enough, even though there's no distress.

I'm glad I'm looking into all of this now, b/c then I won't be stressed about it when I am pregnant. Oh, and we need to figure out where delivery will be and who will be delivery now instead of later so that we can plan for the expenses.
