remedies?

I have terrible morning sickness but it doesn't leave ever. I feel totally sick all day long. With Chase I got zofran but because we're moving and switching insurance companies I'm nervous to see a doctor. So my two questions are:
1) if I have insurance here in arizona but were moving back to nevada and our insurance is switching, could the new insurance not accept me if i'm already pregnant?
2) what are some remedies for morning sickness? So far the only thing that works for me is a diet coke and mcdonalds french fries but i really don't want to gain 100lbs so help!!!!

what we go through for babies, but we couldn't be more excited. I may not have a job or lots of money to contribute to charities, but I think the best way to contribute to society is by bringing children into this world and loving them and teaching them to be good people.

Congrats!! I just got a big bottle of zofran (for pneumonia I am NOT pregnant) but it was only $20 without insurance, although as long as you have continuous insurance coverage without a gap, I have been told the new insurance company is required to accept you and pay for it because there was never a time you were without insurance. Does that make sense?

I just took a Unisom and vitamin B6 at night and that helped me with moring sickness. Though I still had my days that it was to bad to help:) and about the insurance....pregnancy is not counted as a pre condition, so yes you should be able to switch insurance companies, but always make sure before:) When are you moving back? Daxton Keeps asking to go to Conners house and Im like they moved 2 hours away you cant go there! Its a constint fight at our house:)

Congrats! I never could figure out how to keep from constantly throwing up. I would say that if you are switching to an insurance through work then they wouldn't be able to say it would not be covered. As far as our company insurance works is they have to cover you no matter what. BUt I'm sure they are all different.

I am of no help on morning sickness . . . but if french fries do the trick, keep eating them! You can lose the weight. :)

If you're on group insurance through Mike's work, it shouldn't be an issue. Individual plans are a little more complicated I think . . .

Congratulations!! I am so excited for you! I think what helped me the most was making sure that I always had something in my stomach because as soon as I would get hungry I would throw-up. About insurance I would totally call Andrew because I am sure that he would know!

Well well well. Look at you:). Will we ever be preg at the same time? I'm sorry about the sickeness. YUCK. I hate that part. Just think it'll pass in no time?.. I love you and CONGRATS!!! But how far are you?

Didn't even know you were prego! Congrats! When are you moving again? The insurance company has to cover you because A) you have not had a gap in insurance coverage, and B) pregnancy can not be ruled as a prexisting condition. I changed insurance 3 times while pregnant with Kenzie and the only bad thing was I had to meet all of the deductibles each time we got switched.

Michelle....congrats! I'm really excited for you! Your insurance will be fine, you will just have to send your new insurance proof of having it prior. You have the cutest family and I can't wait to find out what you are having! Love ya

Alex said...

I'm really sorry you're sick...because it sucks and because I can't hang out with you. Hope you're better soon!

Jen and Buzz said...

Congrats Michelle...It's weird you and me not being prego together. I am so sorry that you are sick, UGH, I hate to be the bearer of bad new but at least for me the only remedy was time, and IV's...which Im told you have had.

Good Luck, I am thinking about you.

The best thing for me was to have a snack if I was starting to get hungry. Being really hungry made me sick. Also, sucking on a small candy cane took the nausea away and held down my meals probably 90% of the time, as long as I got it in right when I was finished eating breakfast. I have some extra if you want to try it!
