Looking at health insurance. Debating on whether to get maternity coverage with a plan, or just have a regular plan and go to a birthing center. Hm.[/quote]

I haven’t a clue what a “birthing center” is.

I’d say get maternity coverage. A good one.

A few dollars extra every month for solid piece of mind during pregnancy is a BIG fuckin’ deal.

My coverage made it so there were no co-pays on dr. visits, ultrasounds, as well as the hospital stay when my little hombre was born. I wouldn’t trade my insurance coverage for a 10 inch trouser-hog. Tell you what.

The Enginerds are all into multiple screens and I’ve gotta say, it is awesome.

303

I’ve got two screens, it rulz

Mormons = no birth control?[/quote]

Nah, she’s on birth control right now, but we do want to have kids at some point, probably sooner rather than later.

Two screens is what they give you when what you really need is an assistant.

I heard they wanna give me three screens now.

I like it because I’m not a huge fan of hospital births (neither is she), and we have a good friend who is a doula (like a super birth coach basically).

Downsides- only one ultrasound. Difference in plan costs is about 50$/ month. It is just hard to eat that price.

I bet you could poll the whole US on who likes hospitals in general and the response in favor of them would be pretty low.

I get what you’re saying about a Doula, that whole concept seems cool and intimate and totally natural. I’m sure you’re well educated and know family/friends who have used this method in the past and they really dug it.

However,

Over a pregnancy you’ll have paid $500 extra over a ten month time frame to get adequate coverage for your wife. If there’s a hiccup in the pregnancy, anything from spotting blood to ocular migranes to elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, who will manage that? How will you pay for that? The way I was set up meant that I didn’t pay anything extra, not even a co-pay. To know that your partner can be seen, followed up, and appropriately monitored through their pregnancy is/was a big deal, to me at least.

Be advised Byukid, I’m not trying to sway you in one direction or the other, just letting you know about the “other side” and that it’s not the devil incarnate.

Just checked that thread and they were funny and DAYUM you can whip them up fast. =P

However, more importantly - you’re a total babe Hallowed! If anyone on the internet says otherwise they are specifically trying to get a rise out of you or actually jealous. Please don’t take to heart what anonymous numpties on the internet might say. Anyone who’s been here for any length of time knows you’re a hottie and, hell, you’re the object of many a fantasy I’m sure so chin up! :slight_smile:

It’s easy for someone to come on to a forum and talk trash unfortunately. There are no true repercussions here, sadly.

edit - just read the rest of this thread and it’s already sorted. Awesome stuff =)

Don’t worry- we’re not full on hippy birthers or anything. The natural way has its appealing points, as does the hospital care. So we’ve got a few more things to weigh before we decide.

Dude, how are you so young and such a grown up?

Do you know how much easier my life would be if all college kids had their shit as together as you do?

I will say that it’s a combination of my awesome parents, me having a bit of money to toss around for these things, and the Church teachings. I mean, ever since I was a little kid I had drilled into me: don’t spend more than you earn. Save for the future. Insurance is good. Think about the future. Church and home I think I learned this lesson a couple hundred times.

Plus, my parents went from poor college students with 4 girls and me on the way (my dad going for his PhD) where my mom built credit by paying for a sewing machine in installments, and selling things she sewed, to my dad having an excellent job to where my kids won’t have to worry about college payments because he’s already set aside for that.

I don’t chalk it up to luck, but it’s not primarily my effort that has put me here. I’m happy to have had excellent role models and instruction.

I exercised some self-control and didn’t post in that thread, as much as I wanted to.

Some guys feel that it’s ok to say shit just to hurt a woman’s feelings because it’s the internet… but, it’s not.

You wonder if it’s because they were rejected by a girl when they were younger and they just want to lash out just because they can.

Don’t let them get under your skin. You know what’s what. I used to have a rule no posting pics if I wasn’t in a great mood, I recommend it! Because then any bullshit just runs off your back. I’m sure everyone was pleased with the pics though =)[/quote]
