Hi all,
I just wanted to say I am amazed at what having a high-risk pregnancy does to the way you think. I appreciate living a lot more now. Each day, when I go to sleep, I find myself thinking, "That's one more day baby made it. One day closer to the time baby will be viable." Then, when I wake up in the morning, I can't help saying to myself, "Yup, baby's still here." It may sound really silly.
I am not a confrontational person by nature, and I hate to be kept waiting on the phone, in lines, any kind of pointless buerocracy. (sp)? But, I've just finished fighting for (and winning) Medicaid coverage, since my insurance through COBRA will run out before baby is due.
There was someone small and helpless depending on me. No matter how hard I tried, if I hadn't succeeded (and baby hadn't gotten the care he/she needed late in my pregnancy), no excuse would have been good enough for my own ears.
Just my thoughts.
