I live in Florida but so I’m not 100% if state makes a difference u can try applying for pregnancy medicaid.

@how do I do that

I’m not in MD, but I’ve worked as a medical receptionist in Idaho and Arizona previously and each office has had its own options for financial assistance. Usually they will either offer a payment plan which allows you to pay the bill in full over time - ex. $50 a month- OR they will offer a discount when you pay in full at the time of the service/appt. I always recommend you call the billing department directly because sometimes it can help move things along a bit faster, but if they’re difficult to reach then the front desk usually has information on how to apply for financial assistance options!

My OB told me it’s normal to have an elevated white blood cell count in pregnancy even without any kind of illness/infection. But yes definitely work with the billing department for your doctor and they can help you :)

They definitely should have a billing department that works with you. Also double check your insurance. I applied in January, got a letter in March saying i was approved in december!! You got this

Advice please on where I can report my employer

This morning I had to call an ambulance because my 2 year old went pale and was struggling to breath. They came and gave him oxygen and steroids. They said it was a pretty bad case of croup cough and booked a follow up app later on today to see if he needs another dose of the steroids. I called my boss (the owner of the small buisness) to tell her I won’t be coming and she went crazy on me saying she has a life too she needs to take her kids to swimming class and make dinner. I’m shocked at how she reacted and compared her situation to mine. In general that place is really understaffed and I’ve been working for weeks without an actual day off, we also get lunch deducted from our pay but we have to eat while working due to being understaffed. I’m currently pregnant and because my son was ill the past few days I’ve not been sleeping so today I started hallucinating and felt like I’m gonna pass out few times during the day. I am so mentally drained from this place being toxic and I feel like I can’t quit cause I won’t get any maternity pay later on, I’m thinking to report her but I don’t know where

Is your family struggling money wise or no?

We are really comfortable money… wise far from rich but if an emergency came up we could take care of it and we can do what we what when we want without worrying or budgeting. In the media it seems people are struggling but at my job and at my husbands job its like its not as bad as the media is trying to make it seem. Has anyone else felt this or noticed this?

Advice

So in my relationship for about 6 years now lots of ups and downs and not looking for divorce just curious if all men are like this or just mine his love language is sex not physical affection just like sex yk and I’ve had a rough relationship with sex and he knows I have problems when it comes to arguing just consistently pushing will get me to agree cause I’m over it and just always asking for it but wants me to surprise him with sex or saying the main reason he does stuff for me is to increase the chances of sex or when I say no I’m not feeling well I have a chronic illness and I’m 7 months pregnant and he thought he would get laid more cause I said maybe I would have a higher libido but he takes it as a promise I’m just venting at this point but that’s how it’s been and says he regrets another kid because of my low libido and mostly married me when I had a higher one and it makes me not want any more kids with him and makes me feel really depressed is all men like this

Looking for accountability buddy!!

Hi mamas!!

I'm looking for someone to text with for accountability!! I workout every day in some way, shape, or form but it's definitely a tad boring without a buddy to brag to!! I'd love to find someone who wants to share workout progress, weight loss and sculpting progress, workout plans and meals plans, and just general mama chatting with me as we go on our fitness journey!! Fitness is so much more fun with a buddy!

I currently do a lot of treadmill walking/running, pilates, diastasis recti core healing, intermittent fasting, and healthy eating.

I'm also a total nerd. I love suduko, chess, drawing and coloring, reading and writing, crocheting, DIY projects, and Pinterest is my life.

Comment if you want an Accountability Buddy!! 💜🖤
