Wow! I am really learning stuff here. I wonder if it's the provider. We've had Anthem (a personal policy), and had several injuries.
.
It's the provider; we HAD Anthem, and never got one for physical injuries.

Our health insurance always sends out a questionaire after we receive medical treatment asking very pointed questions about where the accident happened.
Last year I needed stitches in my foot (pyrex pan exploded in my kitchen) and dd needed stitches (fell off bike in our driveway). Both times we received the questionaire to fill out and return. The insurance companies don't want to pay.
:iagree: My dh's work changed insurance companies after 7 yrs, and about two months later, my oldest ds tripped and fell during a basketball game, and the new insurance company could not send us their form about where/why/how fast enough.

When we were growing up, we played at friends' houses -- on swing sets, backyards, etc., and kids played at our house -- on our swing set. We swam at friends' pools. My parents never would have dreamed of asking the neighbor to pay our medical bill if I broke my arm from jumping off their swing.
Now, we limit what kids are allowed to do because we realize we live in a litigious society. Neighbor kids are not allowed in our fort. They were not allowed on the trampoline when we had it. They are not allowed to use the rope swing. In fact, no one is allowed to do these things when friends are over. I think it is ridiculous to have to be so afraid today. Perhaps kids shouldn't even come over. I mean, they might trip on a tree root. No fake swords because someone might get hurt. A ten-year old might decide to be dumb one day and swallow a Lego.
Yeah, it should just be up to us to add yet one more bill on top of our monthly bills to protect us from this craziness.
:iagree:

Get her a doll or stuffed animal. My mom is in and out of nursing homes for rehabs, respite care, etc, and she wanted something to hold in her arms. I got her a lovely, lifelike baby doll and a nice sized bunny. She loves to just hold one and rock.

Let me just say this: I am no longer allowed to make any decisions while I'm on my monthly.
I'll leave it at that. :D

First, I would be trying to find out what the normal heartrate should be.
If the heart rate is outside the normal range, then I would have concerns.
:iagree: and if something still doesn't feel right, go with your gut. Mother's intuition.
Fight to get answer's you are comfortable with. Remember they really mean it when they say "come in or call if you have concern's" . It's your body, your baby, personally I could care less if I annoyed my health care team when I was pg; that's what I'm paying them for.

I suffered from hyperemesis all three pg's I had. It got significantly worse with each one. My second one I was only hospitalized once (altho I should've been more than that)....my third.....they thought I was going to die. My medical group called out their former head perionatologist out of retirement to treat me. I had iv infusions at least three times a week to re-hydrate me, I was on phenergen orally and I think b12 as well. I was given zofran in my iv every time I went it........
My dr set me up to go in to the chemo lab to do my iv because the nurses clinic was not nice to me (huge understatement), which was very sad, and I felt guilty that everyone thought I had cancer. When the patients found out I was pg, they got really happy, and liked to rub my belly. :)
The phenergen made me twitchy and knocked my arse out...I spent most of my time during treatment going pee. I lived in cami's with a built in bra and pj bottoms. As I had two older children, it was hard to do anything. I had to go to my dd's classroom everyday to pick her up because she was in kindergarten, and it was brutal. I would go out with a tea bag to hold to my nose because smells set me off, and all I drank was bubble water...the burps helped it stay down. I lost weight every pg instead of gaining which wasn't so bad with the last two because I was overweight to begin with.
When there was a huge fire coming over the hill behind our street, we had to evacuate, and the neighbors teased that the only way to get me outside was a fire. Jackxxx.
I had numerous paper grocery sacks lined with newspaper and a trash bag to puke in....the clean up was quick and easy, just throw it in the outside trashcan. Things I discovered : jello tastes just as good coming back up, bread made me feel as if i was sufficating, root beer is very painful, and apples are hurty.
saltwater taffy saved my life. It was the only thing I could keep down.
I slept. A lot. My family had clean clothes "piles", and lots of frozen meals for dinner.
In the end of my pg, it was worse than the beginning .......I also had gd, so they did an amino to see if my baby's lungs were mature so they could take him. My dr was very worried (gd baby lungs mature slowly), my bff started a huge prayer chain, and I was literally doing nothing but puking and sleeping. In the end, babys lungs were matured, I was induced, and we're ok.

Maybe hand hold and walk him through until graduation, then he is on his own. He will grow up and hopefully, one day, he will be able to look back at how he treated you and regret it. But, then thank you for helping him graduate, in spite of himself. He will hold both against you for now, but at least with a diploma, he will have a chance to do better.
:iagree: My oldest has STILL not earned his diploma...he is back in homeschooling to finish his last few credits.

Thanks! I think we'll give them a try. The downloading is very slow though.

I dropped my middle name, and kept my maiden as my middle. My ex-sil did that as well.

I've had good luck with CBD. They accidentally sent me the wrong Miquon book on my order and when I called them about it they were quick to send out a new one. I offered to send the other book back, but they said just to keep it.
One time they sent me part of my order and someone else's. They told me to keep it all, and sent out my missing order. The customer service is wonderful! Alas, their shipping time sucks for me....

My 12 year old son has schizophrenia. It is a daily heartbreak.

Well, we moved to TN from Phoenix. We like it. However, I would jump at the chance for Charlotte.

At my niece's wedding, her groom danced to the song "in my life" with his mother. Oh, it was such a touching moment! :)

:iagree:I was going to say the people assuming you can do anything for them at any time because you don't have school. This is a HUGE problem in my life. -
I wouldn't have a problem with it. The restriction may be due to the ability to order alcohol and to keep teens from partying in the rooms. His mother is checking you in, she is accepting the responsibility for you both and the room.
Go, be blessed, and more congratulations.
I understand your hesitation, I'm a pretty by the book person myself.
