    Silly FTM question as I wait until the very last day to enroll in my FSA... I am trying to figure out how much delivery will cost me and I'm pretty sure I have a good estimate. But this question popped in my head: if my insurance covers 48 hrs hospital stay for vaginal delivery, do they start counting when I am admitted during labor? Or is it 48 hrs after birth? If I am in labor for 36 hours at the hospital, I don't want to be kicked out 12 hrs later!!

    48 after birth!

    Well, looks like cream of wheat is still completely off the table for me. ::gross::
    Eewwwww was it ever on the table for you!?
    Hey cream of wheat and brown sugar is delicious! Add in some fruit yum.
    Love CoW with brown sugar and a little milk... mmm. Tasty! Of course, I put that on my oatmeal too, lol...

    It's a total consistency thing for me. My throat would close up every time I tried it!

    @BiggerinRealLife so sorry you are feeling blue. I struggled with depression when I was younger and now deal with SAD occasionally. I was really concerned about PPD since I was predisposed last time. I ended up with a little SAD during the second trimester but then didn't experience PPD (I did have plenty of struggles and crying sessions but that's was just from lack of sleep and BFing issues). Hang in there but don't be to anxious about the future because you aren't "destined" to go through PPD. I found light therapy really helps. The best thing that works for me the most is a consistent sleep schedule, clean eating and regular exercise.

    @poru I just saw this, and it helped a lot. Thank you! I am a bit of a worry wart at times. ;)

    Quick question - is Motherhood and Destination Maternity basically the same store (same parent company maybe?) ? Their websites and sales are nearly identical. PSA - their Jessica Simpson jeans are BOGO 50%, so I'm going to suffer through this indigestion and get a couple pairs.
    I believe so.

    Edit hit post to soon. Kind of like how Gap and Old Navy are owned together.

  • The breast pump posts make me sad...ACA doesn't cover military, so our insurance isn't required to do breast pumps. I want a cool breast pump!! But guess Ill be sticking with my cheap manual one that I bought before
  • @KendraColeslaw yes. Destination Maternity is the store name and carries Motherhood Maternity brand AND Pea in the Pod.

  • End of the year in Denmark means the winning Eurovision song is played a million times. For those that don't know about the Eurovision song contest, its kinda fun while it happens. Then you want to kill the winning song 1 week later.

    Where are you? A couple of ladies in my pregnancy Facebook group are trying to sell The ones that they are not using and they got pretty good ones from insurance so they are selling them cheap
    Well that is clearly unethical.

  • Thanks @Mamamonzo! I'm starting to get the feeling that either a) people didn't read around the holidays, or b) no one really wants to discuss. :((

  • Fuck this nighttime heartburn bullshit.

    Mine is fiery horrible ALL day. I was gagging from it trying to read a story to my class this afternoon. And I take rantadine every day!

    Same here with the all day crap.  It's sporadic all day, so Tums usually does the trick. I just wish I had trigger foods I could identify and avoid!

  • Does anyone know if, in Canada, insurance covers breast pumps? I would ask it on the PSA thread but I'm staying wayyyy out of that...

  • Fuck this nighttime heartburn bullshit.
    OMG  I totally hear you.  I can't get it to calm down until about 4:00 a.m. every night/morning to fall asleep, even with meds.  I'm asking my dr. for a priolosec prescription next week.

    @KendraColeslaw  Do it!  You will not regret it.  I'm wearing my Jessica Simpson skinny jeans right now and they are so comfortable.

    Ugh my feet are swollen.  Hopefully they go down overnight.  Do I call and bug my dr's office tomorrow regardless, or only if the swelling doesn't go down?
    @kcp913 I don't think you have to worry about it unless it is very sudden and doesn't improve with a full night of rest and elevation. If you don't have a history of pre-e or other risk factors, you could probably just hit up a CVS to check your blood pressure. Without a history of pre-e I doubt your doc would be concerned about swelling unless your BP is also up. If your BP wasn't normal, I would call the doc at that point.

    Gone for a day I miss 70 posts in this thing!! Go girlssss!

    Driving through Montana today saw a giant bison on the side of the road!

    Missed you :x

    Here's a picture.. Let's name him, he can be our mascot.

    I would suggest Glenn Coco, but we've already adopted a pet by that name.

    Where is she? What have I missed.. Give me a thread name! :))

    DH is working and didn't call me to tell me he got to his appointment safe. So for the payback of worrying I called & told him my mom was driving me to the hospital because my water broke... Ha his reaction was so great! Is it bad that I can't wait till it really happens so I can see him worry & wig out in person! (Okay, I can wait for 10 more weeks for these LO's!)
