January 2012 Moms
looks like I'm going to be a Jan momma
My due date was Wed...I was so sure this baby would be here before 2012 I was 3cm and 80% effaced last week. I don't want to get induced, I've been having braxton hicks for 2 days then they stopped...the waiting is getting tourtorus.
I know a lot of people care about the tax credit, but what I was worried about is the medical. I've alredy met my deductible and part of my out of pocket max for 2011 but now I will have to meet it all over again right away in 2012 with the labor, delivery and hospital stay !!! grrrrr LO is already costing me a ton of $$$ (and yes the tax credit too).

FWIW, it's likely to be more to your benefit tax-wise in the long run to have the baby in January. You will get 18 years of the tax benefit either way (unless things change). You'll more than likely get more money having a January baby because in 18 years you are more likely to be making more money than you are now. So get the smaller tax benefit now or wait 18 years and get the more beneficial one....?
The deductible is a bummer though. I'm having a c-section so I'll have to meet the deductible again and then pay 10% of my c/s which will be $5000+. Boo.

OT: I don't mean to scare you, but my friend had this situation and her child wasn't covered under the plan. They only covered her maternity stuff. Did you check out to see if your baby's costs are covered?
Sorry if this is a total downer, but it caused a lot of problems for my friend.
