OMG! Pregnancy test is positive!

Post coverage and we have only had it 15 days! Ayay!

Yay!! Congrats!!

Our insurance covers maternity only if conception happens 30 days. What does that mean?

And congratulations! That's so exciting My bff just had my godson two days ago.

Congrats!! Just don't call the doctor for another 15 days, or set the appt up for 15 days from now.. I didn't have insurance until after i got preggers. I called them after I got the card and set up the appt for after the 30 day mark. Nobody ever knew the difference.

@ Missy K - For my insurance it was considered a pre-existing condition if you got pregnant before you've had your insurance for 30 days.

Congrats, but also, yikes--pregnancy can be really expensive. Would your doctor be willing to fudge the numbers for you a little, or are there supplementary programs for which you're eligible?

ETA: It sounds like they're saying "conception" to avoid the kind of thing that FMB did, but maybe you'll get lucky. I'd just be upfront with the doctor right away about how due date estimation and whatnot on your paperwork might affect your coverage, and see if they can help you out.

Congrats! babies are a blessing that is for sure!

I think Future Mrs Bansmur gave you great advice about the insurance.

@mrs bansmer some company are good like that and will pay for it others will fight it.

so just be careful the insurance company hate to pay for things what is your company? ( i work in healthcare)

@missy, read the second part of my post. Hahaha sorry.

thanks future mrs bansmer, I will wait to make the appointment. OMG! Dreams can be true! I think I know the day I conceived. I dreamed that I was holding a baby girl, but I had my eyes closed so I couldnt see her. I cannot wait to tell my husband when he comes back from work. I know its still too early, I hope everything goes well and it is for SURE a pregnancy.

CONGRATS!

ANd not to steal your thread, but

HI CABELL! We miss you 'round here!

I'd say just wait to go to the doctor.. You probably won't get the full ultrasound anyway if you're only 3-4 weeks in anyhow, so just wait on it and make sure and take care of yourself until then. But congrats!

Yeah, a lot of OBs won't do a u/s until 8 weeks, unless you have symptoms or a history of problems.

@FMS: Did you miss my return intro post? :p

Thank you ladies! I always said I wanted my husband to be the first one to know but I just HAD TO SHARE IT WITH SOMEONE! Hahaha. Also, I have heard that its best to wait 12 weeks before announcing it to family and friends, is that true? I am very pessimistic, I hate being like that. I read somewhere that ovarian tumos can also give a positive pregnancy tests, or that ectopic pregnancies have the same symptoms. I know, I know, pessimistic big time.

So funny, because my mom called me yesterday and told he she dreamed that I had a baby boy! Hahaha. So she asked me if I was pregnant. I had my suspicions but I told her no, not that I know.

Think of a fun cool way to share the news with your Hubby!

And yes, I would say wait 3 months to tell the news to people...been down that road and its awful when something happens!

Prayers for you and your little nugget!

Yes, wait.. this is a very exciting time but things can change quickly in the first trimester so just make sure to take good care of yourself, sleep well, take your prenatal vitamins, avoid foods you shouldn't eat (you can research to see what's dangerous for baby) and try not to stress or lift too much during this time. Pay close attention to what your body is telling you and don't argue with it.. I was pregnant once and I miscarried (no, don't be scared) and it happened right after I told FH.. we were heartbroken.. I had to tell my close friends about it since they knew about the prenancy and it just made it that much harder.. I really should have waited, but I was too excited. Like I said, it's really early for you so just take it easy and maybe in a couple weeks once your 30 days are up, go ahead and go to the doctor so they can make sure your pregnancy is moving along as it should be.

Oh yea.. sprite and soda crackers, load up on them. It will help with nausea. Congrats aga

Thank you Amy.

Awww yay! Congrats ... just wait a little while, and at about the 10 week mark you should be good ... to tell friends and family, but I'd tell your Mom right away and ask her not to tell anyone else ...

Congrats FH and i are going to try for one more baby at the end of the year as soon as im covered on his insurance

Congrats!! :-)

Thanks for the advise jen. I will research on what not to eat or drink.

The weird thing is I have not had nausea! Isn't that a blessing? I have two sisters that have babies and they had no symptoms whatsoever so I'm guessing I will be as lucky as them! The only symptoms I have is I am extremely emotional. I have cried like crazy for the silliest things. I have had cramps, especially at night, also my boobs are super sore and they look alot bigger! I like that! Hehehe

Oh, and that metallic taste in the mouth is true! Yesterday I was even like "Did I bite myself or something.?"
