h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I actually had a worry that I *didn't* whine at you guys about, since there was nothing any of you could actually do, but now that it's been alleviated, you'll get to hear the good news

Anyway, I finally remembered to call Kaiser to verify some information. Turns out my copay for PaperBaby's birth will be absolutely nothing! That's right, $0 That's a definate load off our minds, financially. And I found out today that, with NDI and how my group's premium payments are timed, we won't be responsible for premiums until October! That's a huge relief as well

That *is* good news!

*jaw drops*

: Well, one less thing to worry about

Good you made the call!
Great news.

News!! Yea

I sent u my picture,amy~

Hmmmmm.

That *sounds* like good news, Amy.
Tell me, though: is this going to be
the six-minute delivery plan that gets
you out of the bed before you even
get it warm?

~~checks the fine print in Amy's health insurance plan~~


No, it's a much better deal than that. She has a full 12 minutes allowed for labor, 3 minutes in the delivery room, 43 seconds in recovery , and 15 minutes to rest up before she has to change the sheets on her bed for the next patient is admitted.

I hope Amy isn't getting worried by all this.

Oh, I'm certain it won't worry her a bit.

I'm sure she's a very organized person, and if she has a schedule, she'll stick to it.

'I'm sure she's a very organized person, and if she has a schedule, she'll stick to it.'

Who?

*looks around*

ME???



If I were organized, I would've found this out months ago

But I do already know (and posted in another journal, I think) that you're not kicked out, and that the average stay post partum is 24-36 hours for a vaginal birth, and 2-3 days for a c-section. And if I, for some insane reason, want to come home early, the minimum post partum stay is 12 hours (assuming PaperBaby is doing well, otherwise no way).

You are an organised person my love

When I went into the maternity home (admittedly a month early as my first amd second sons were born at eight months), I did not have my suitcase packed, I had not finished making the clothes, I had not....
In fact I was NOT organised!!.

Thinking of you lots,
AR1

Amy, better now looked at then in August 2004

Well it's all going down well, I liked the smilies birth, I think you could do that for the post

-- DoctorMO --

Pack... Yeah, I should do that pretty soon here, huh?

Pack? What will you really *need*, anyway? They'll give you a lovely designer gown to wear while you're at the hospital.

Hopefully the hospital will also provide something
for PaperBaby to wear, eh?

Actually, a friend of mine gave me some shorty pajamas that I need to cut the tag off of and wash... And I also need to get some slippers (I have a couple of pairs, but they're warm, and so not exactly usuable this time of year...) I need to pack toiletries, of course... And something to leave the hospital in...

To leave the hospital in?

What do you have that's big enough to fit around
the whole hospital?
