Can you go in and talk to someone who's not a mindless drone who only spits back at you what's in the rules and regulations? Don't give up just yet. It's in their best interest to cover home birth. After all, it's much less costly for them.

I am going to meet with them and find out what luck they have had with Southern Health.

And I have at least one other book of his as well as a LC aid flip book. I got everything I could when I was trying to get Kenneth to nurse again.<br /><br />2.

I haven't seen all of it though. I will have to add it to my list. I want to watch as many empowering birth videos as possible. I want information overload this time around.<br /><br />4. Thank you!

If you don't, I may have to fly down there and read it to you. LOL. <br /><br />2. Also get a copy of Dr. Jack Newman's VISUAL Guide to Breastfeeding. It's about 45 minutes. I may actually be able to send you mine if you want.<br /><br />3. Watch "Orgasmic Birth." It's even better than BOBB. The Doula Collective screened it here last year. I need to own this video and make every pregnant woman watch it. LOL<br /><br />4. If you have any questions about anything, and need an answer from an expert in normal birth, go to Henci Goer's online forum. You can get there from www.hencigoer.com , click on the link to the forums and it's the "ask the expert" forum.

You never know....they might cover a home birth! It's in their best interest to do so. Even if they don't cover it, you can likely appeal. Also, many midwives will offer payment plans and such, so that the cost is spread out for you.<br /><br />I'm so excited for you Monique!

Just a word of advice: freeze the breast milk within 24 hours of pumping. The Gerber bags are awesome, because they have a ziplok type closure. Just squeeze out the air, zip it closed, then lay it flat in the freezer. When it's frozen, you can organize them in your deep freezer really easily. If you put them right in the bottom, it'll keep for 6-12 months.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17502841060861789460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8469999561842228399.post-24498132684198191842008-08-13T09:21:00.000-04:002008-08-13T09:21:00.000-04:00What a great thing, not having to give K formula i...What a great thing, not having to give K formula in over a week!
