I was just looking online to see if my insurance covers midwife services when I came across a few pamphlets recommending pregnant women notify their insurance of their pregnancy. It’s not super clear but it almost sounds like you have to notify them or you might lose coverage… I have been going to my OB, scans, che...

Ladies who’s done the maternity grant after their baby was born and what did you send as your proof? It just says a health professional has confirmed the birth, but what can you actually use for that? I don’t want to risk sending the wrong thing with it being so close to the 6 month mark and me leaving it until so l...
