Midwife bill

So I give birth in my friend's car *outside* the hospital with no assistance
at all and I discover that my insurance company was billed for a "normal
delivery and maternity". Curious, I called the hospital and asked for an
itemized bill. I recieved the bill and discovered that the ...

I know to avoid peanuts, but I can't find anything about pistachios (which
we have some of in the house and I want to dig in without guilt!).

I would like opinions on what is the best nickname for Alexandra. Ally

My husband and I are doing some research into cord blood banking.  I
thought I would throw this question out here.
We would like to bank our child's blood (when he/she is born :)  and
are curious for feedback.

I have low-ish blood pressure normally, and often get "head rushes"
(bad dizziness, caving in sensation in the vision) when I stand up
suddenly. Infrequently, I'll see a few shooting stars or sparkles
coming in from the corners of my eyes. Apparently this has to do with

thinking of you
christine.

midwives). This time, I'm so big and so tired and the baby dropped two weeks
ago so now I'm worried about going into labor even ...

I'm 17 weeks into this pregnancy, and still haven't gone to the doctor
yet.  I'm having trouble getting insurance and don't know what to do
about it.  I make too much for medicaid, but my employer doesn't offer
insurance. With all our money going into bills, how can we do this?

I don't know if anyone is in Portland, Oregon but...
