Well that sucks

So we just found out what sort of benefit our Health Insurance would give us towards the expense of having a baby. I would have had to sign up by week 15, I just started week 18 and it would involve having to talk to a Future Mom's Coach through out my 2nd Trimester and PostPartum. As a reward for having to deal with someone unhelpful on the phone I would get $300 in credits which could be applied to the following:

* your copay for prenatal vitamins Cause Prenatal vitamins are sooooo costly ~.~
* tuition for birthing, parenting or infant‐care classes
* pregnancy fitness classes
* postpartum wellness classes or a 6‐month gym membership So their big concern seems to be keeping the Mom from getting fat??
* videos for those unable to attend classes
* breast pumps, related supplies and lactation consultants
* a jogging stroller

So nothing actually useful other than a breast pump, they won't help with car seats, and a jogging stroller in and of itself is useless since most you can't use with infants because of lack of recline and true jogging strollers are awful for non-jogging use since the front wheel is not on a swivel which makes trying to turn the damn thing while shopping a royal pain in the ass. And the idea of getting 3 strollers seems pretty ridiculous to me.

I don't plan to take up jogging since my knee joints are not going to take that well.

I'm so underimpressed right now. If only I was European or Japanese ~.~
