Ashley,

Our health insurance won’t cover a direct-entry midwife either - very very few insurance policies will, and they tend to be coverage offered through very large companies with liberal leanings who have lots of negotiating power with insurance companies.

We cannot use our health insurance to pay for the midwife, but we can use our own HSA money. It’s money that we’ve put into an account - separate from the health insurance policy - that we can use for medical expenses, including those that are not covered by our health insurance policy. The benefit is that the money is tax-deductible. But it’s still our own money - the insurance company won’t cover anything to do with our home birth or midwife.

I’m glad your prenatal went well!

And I’m also glad that you get to use your HSA for your midwife. With our insurance, it was required to a licensed medical professional. Which in our state does not cover direct-entry midwifery. Boo on that.

Can you explain, a little about the flavorwave… It sounds interesting… I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,

Does that Flavor Wave really work the way it is advertised? Something like that would severely simplify me eating real food(time constraints) but things like that make me so skeptical! How long have you had yours? Does it seem like it’s a solid piece of equipment or does it feel like it’s going to fall apart all the time?

Plus tip, if it’s a nice burger place and if you get drinks that’s a bit more too.

Baby’s hearbeat…so exciting! There are so many changes going on right now, growing that little heart and everthing.
