Has anyone given birth while on Kaiser insurance, specifically in the DMV area? What was your experience like?

I did! It was a great experience. I delivered at GBMC. My ob was also pregnant and left the office when I was 33 weeks pregnant to move out of state. She encouraged me to see the 3 remaining drs in the office for the remainder of my pregnancy and I’m glad I took her advice because of the Kaiser drs will deliver you at the neighboring hospital and I was happy to see a familiar face. Planning to have another in a year or 2 and will stay with Kaiser until then

At that time I had Kaiser through Medicaid because I was enrolled full time in grad school and my only bill was a $30 bill for “ personal items” at the hospital, however with my current Kaiser plan, I’m not sure of the name it’s covered through my employer, I should not have to pay more than $250 to give birth. There’s a place on the kp.org portal where you can choose different services/procedures and it show you how much it costs out of pocket based on your plan. Let me know if you have anymore questions. Glad to help

Yes, first I started in Washington state but then midway through my pregnancy moved to Falls Church VA with Kaiser the whole time. Delivered at Virginia hospital center. We switched to a platinum plan bc I was nervous about the cost of birth which definitely ended up working on our favor since our daughter ended up in the NICU with fluid in her lungs. I would say it would be very likely for you to reach your out of pocket Max on any plan you are on when giving birth

There are a handful of threads on DC Urban Mom running through Kaiser options in the DMV as well. I recall people being generally satisfied.

Hi Moms. I’m 4.5mo postpartum with my first, and I’m having incredible feelings of resentment toward my husband, who I love dearly and with whom I’ve always had a great relationship.

My mat leave is ending, and he’s now sick with COVID. He’s quarantining at my in-laws while I return to work and take care of baby. I’m so frustrated… (cont.)

Fellow moms, I need advice. My daughter is in second grade and she is not meeting her targets for math. Or as they used to say when I was 7, she failed a test. I’m a little concerned because I can’t teach her. Anyway, I want to enroll her in some kind of math tutoring. Any thoughts on a tutoring service? Please, no criticism on whether a 7 year old needs math tutoring. She told me she hates math- which she is totally picking up from other girls, I’m sure because we are a math positive home.
