No Pregnancy is the Same

Excitement filled the Henry home as they eagerly waited for their second child to arrive.

With sheer luck, this pregnancy was easier for mom, Tazz. She didn’t experience any pregnancy-related complications but she did have to bear an onset of sciatica in her third trimester. Sciatica is a painful condition caused by the irritation and inflammation of a pinched nerve in the back. Fortunately, treatment for her sciatica was successful and after a long 9 months she could relax and wait to give birth.

“While we had nine months to plan for our second baby, things were a little chaotic in the moment,” says dad, Matthew. “As Tazz opted for a natural birth, we had no idea when exactly our baby would make his debut.”

Matthew was at work when he heard Tazz had gone into labour. He raced to the Hospital and headed straight to the labour ward where he was able to see his wife before rushing back to the hospital reception to confirm all was in order.

A single phone call to Affinity Health ensured prompt pre-authorisation.

“Affinity went over and above to make payment, eliminating so much stress for us. Affinity Health assured peace of mind as Tazz gave birth to our beautiful girl. They even checked on us after our newborn arrived,” says Matthew.
