how do i find out how much it might cost me out of pocket to deliver at the hospital after my insurance... I want to find out if it will be close to or more than 3000 (the cost of a home birth)
have you had a word with your doctor or midwife? i am guessing your in the states i'm not to sure to be honest but hope its not to much
long story short.. Called the hospital and for the birth alone they will charge 10,000 before ins.. then the baby dr. will bill then the ob will bill... ins pays 80% up to 3000 then pays 100%.. So HB with a MW cost 3000, and hospital birth with dr will cost probably same thing... Gonna talk DH into it tonight and call her tomorrow.. The midwife said her late march is filling up fast... So I have to conferm soon!!
Anna I'm so so sorry men can be so hurtful and unreasonable at times I think you reacted perfect ally! Such a hard time for you (((((hugs)))))
You're not putting us down, Anna. This thread is here for the bad times as well as good times.
I think your husband will come around eventually. And he will love this child as much as he does the others. As for an abortion, you really shouldn't do it for these reasons. It might end up hurting you and your relationship more than this current situation.
I'm sad myself. But it has to do with a good friend of mine who just lost her baby son at 26 weeks. Everything seemed fine but his heart just stopped beating. She went through so much to get pregnant and now he's gone .

thing is i didnt want to become pregnant we was trying so hard not to become pregnant... and the reasons why we wanted to abort it was because of so many things like needing to get a new house, car, my health, and other things i cant think to list right now but sense then i have changed my mind because the clinic wouldnt do it and maybe its because its unfair on the unborn i will just leave it for now and see how things go...
Anna - why don't you go speak to a (free) counsellor at the pregnancy advisory service abou this? Hubby will only be able to relate to his feelings about baby right now, and you have so much going on in your head...friends and family advice is limited too as they will all have their opinions and family can sometimes be too close as they just love and want the best for you...how do YOU fell about this baby now it is alive and created? Put it another way...if someone was to say to you that they would adopt the baby when its born would you let them?
When I was trying to conceive a sibling for my DD I found the mandatory counselling I was required to have by the fertility clinic, a very useful tool to use to explore so many hidden emotions and issues for myself. Perhaps your GP has a practice counsellor you could discuss this with?
DONT do this alone Anna! You are NOT alone in having doubts and real fluctuating confusing upsetting emotions! But this is YOUR life and you CAN take charge of it! After all, you have aready come through so much with your little ones!!
