11w4d

So the brown spotting stopped yesterday early afternoon and stayed away all night, but now it is back again this morning.  I am not too surprised because this is how it was like after my last bleeds.  I was lucky if I made it 24 hours without spotting.  I am at least glad it is only brown so hopefully this is just the left over blood from Wednesday's bleed. 

I sprained my toe yesterday morning on dh's shoe just as we were leaving to do the housecall so since I got back home yesterday I have hardly been able to walk and my toe is all purple.  At least it is good for keeping me bedridden, but it is very hard to be bedridden when you have to take care of a toddler all day.  I have no choice but to constantly get up and down with dd because she keeps taking things out of the fridge, etc.

I go back to the doctor's tomorrow.  Really hoping that I can get him to realize he needs to see me more often.  I do have another problem which I am not sure what to do about.  I received my Masshealth package on Friday and I need to chose a health plan by this Wednesday (ya the letter was dated August 15, but I didn't get it until the 24th and they need it back by the 29th - not sure how that is possible).  Anyways, at first I am not even sure if they will let me do it since I currently have HP, but that won't last, but I know I can't get on a health plan as long as the HP is active.

Now this isn't that big of a deal, but the problem is all the health plans only list doctors in MA.  I am going to RI for this pregnancy so I don't know what to do.  The only high risk doctors are either in Providence or Boston and where we live in MA Providence is 1/3 the distance of Boston and when you are talking about being high risk and needing to go to the doctors sometimes multiple times a week I really can't see a doctor in Boston and no regular ob will even touch me now that I have the high risk classification.  So tomorrow when I go to the doctor I am going to see if they can suggest what to do, if not it looks like I will need to call MassHealth - which I am not sure when I can do this because my Monday and Tuesday this week is booked solid, so that leaves Wednesday as the earliest day and they need the form back on Wednesday.

Anyways, I don't think it will be a big problem.  I have had Masshealth billed at RI hospital before for dd's and dh's urology appts so I am sure they will be able to take it, just may be more red tape to go through.  However, I can't possibly be the only one in this situation.  I know St. Luke's sends all their high risk mothers and babies to W&I and doubt none of them are on Masshealth.
