Ted Said:

what physical health requirements are important to be ready to have a child?any health risk for mother&child?

We Answered:

Both the father and mother should be drug-free, alcohol-free, and smoke-free prior to conceiving. If either of you are on prescription medication, you should consult your doctor to ask about any potential risks associated with conceiving while you are taking those medications. The mother should also be at a healthy weight before conception if possible.

Nutrition is also very important especially for the mother. It is essential that the mother not be deficient in B vitamins, especially folic acid. Folic acid deficiency in early pregnancy (very early pregnancy....like in the first 2 weeks kind of early) has been associated with spinal cord defects. So if you are trying to conceive make sure to eat plenty of leafy greens and whole grains and possibly take a supplment for folic acid.

Avoid, mega doses of vitamins before conceiving as well as too much of some fat soluable vitamins can also cause birth defects.

Make sure that her shots are up-to-date particularly for rubella since contracting rubella in the frist trimester of pregnancy can cause serious birth defects.

Get a checkup with your doctor as there may be other genetic issues or chronic health problems particular to you that might need to be addressed before conceiving.

When you have a baby, the child is covered under the mother's health insurance for 30 days following birth...?

We Answered:

It depends on the insurance. You'll need to either look it up in your insurance handbook or call your insurance company.

All the best.

Sheila Said:

father and mother BOTH have the child covered under their separate health insurance plans?

We Answered:

The "birthday law" isn't about AGE, it's about what day of the year the birthday comes FIRST. So clearly, dad's birthday ocurrs earlier in the year than moms.

The ONLY way to get mom's policy primary, is to cancel child from dad's policy during the next open enrollment.

If the transfer happened, because there wasn't a local in network hospital that could provide a specialty service (like a pediatric nephrologist), you appeal to dad's insurance to have it covered as a medical necessity on an in network basis.

We Answered:

I think you are meaning Custom duty not excise duty. Excise duty is levied for the item manufactured in India.

Custom duty is levied for items imported to India.

I dont think they will give exemption. Please visit Governement of India website under direct taxes.
