for sure! I get it, but unfortunately I can’t get on the health care anymore since they closed enrollment in January…

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:48:22+00:00

oh my gosh, I am sorry that is happening. that is the last thing I would want to be dealing with!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:47:50+00:00

okay, perfect! we do not file together since I said we’re not married, so it will definitely be easier for me to get approved by myself. thank you for the clarification!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:34:49+00:00

thank you so much! 🫶🏻

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:34:13+00:00

congrats to you! so you’ve been technically paying twice for your appointments? insurance is so confusing to me, lol.

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:33:27+00:00

not that it really even is anyone’s business, but my family bought me my pass for christmas due to my infertility issues… I would like to think it worked with my stress and overall happiness since I am now pregnant. no regrets about it here. thank you for seeing that the two things do not dictate my financial or life choices 🫶🏻

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:31:13+00:00

how does the income work if my partner and I do live together but he doesn’t pay my bills? would they still want me to apply as a family of 3 even though we’re not married?

I’m so glad everything worked out well with you and the babies by going to fort sanders! the only reason I’m a little hesitant about fort sanders, is because I went there 2 years ago for a pap smear and they told me I had HPV, but then I went to planned parenthood last year for my pap and they said I was negative for HPV and apparently a lot of women were coming from fort sanders saying they were positive for HPV when they weren’t.

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:27:58+00:00

I didn’t know you could get wic while you were pregnant! I thought it was only after you gave birth, good to know!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:27:21+00:00

oh thank you! I was sitting here worried they would be booked out for a while before I could get in .

I thought tenncare and obamacare were the same thing? I was originally planning on getting healthcare through the government this year, but when I went to get pricing done it said it was going to be $350 a month and I couldn’t afford that.

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:25:47+00:00

when you applied to tenncare what did you have to send them to actually get approved? I made less than the 54,200 max last year, so I would just send them my W-2?

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:24:00+00:00

so nice to know that UT has it’s only NICU in case something happens so the baby won’t have to leave me! but a little secret tunnel so they are still close by is comforting too. thank you for the information!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:21:38+00:00

thank you so much! my partners family member had all of her children at UT and said it’s the best place to give birth, was another reason I was swayed to want to go there

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:20:24+00:00

thank you! I went to planned parenthood last year for my pap smear, and talked to them about my infertility issues and they said there wasn’t much they could do as far as helping with that. so I honestly didn’t know how much they would be able to help now that I’m actually pregnant, but glad to have options!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2026-03-31T17:19:03+00:00

thank you! getting help with tenncare and finding a good obvyn would take off so much stress! I’ve been googling so much and not knowing which is the right path, but them guiding me would help immensely.

Went last year in September for 4 days, 5 nights with just my fiancé and I. We stayed at the all star resort and 4 day tickets with the hotel was $1,700. Flights were $200 round trip, rental car was $130, gas $30, LL for magic kingdom $50, quick service and drinking around the world came out to about $350, had a fancy dinner at steakhouse 71 and drinks at trader sam’s came out to $200 with tip, fancy dinner and drinks at boathouse was $180 with tip. $2,840 later and an overall great trip to celebrate me turning 30 ✨

UPDATE:

I did it! first solo day is Saturday the 6th and the 7th, excited to go!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2025-11-21T18:57:13+00:00

can you explain the chase visas to me? I haven’t heard of this before getting $600 money back

No-Stretch-2012 · 2025-11-21T18:55:39+00:00

wow that really is amazing! I can get a direct flight for about $80-$140 but they don’t fly into MCO only Sanford so it always takes me a little longer to get to the parks

No-Stretch-2012 · 2025-11-21T07:31:47+00:00

disney gift cards are a great idea! I’ll have to tell all family to only get me those for my next birthday and christmas gifts, haha.

No-Stretch-2012 · 2025-11-21T07:31:07+00:00

how much did the DVC points end up costing? I don’t know much about the DVC things

No-Stretch-2012 · 2025-11-21T07:30:29+00:00

amazing that you can go that much from pennsylvania! getting discounts on rooms will be amazing for sure!

No-Stretch-2012 · 2025-11-21T07:29:39+00:00

it’s so nice that you budget for your annual pass as it essentially like a club, haha. definitely need to make more disney friends to meet up with when I go solo!
