I'm due with my twins in a few weeks. I have a 1.5 yr old toddler and 3 yr old. I can't see myself managing without a nurse. Does anyone know the process of getting nurse help through medicaid?

I'm a pediatric hospital social worker
I hope you don't qualify because in order to do so one of your new babies need to have a medical need requiring a nurse. If this is the case, speak to the doctor and or SW taking cafe of the babies in the hospital
Alternately you might qualify for home making assistance if YOU have impairments following your delivery (out of the normal post partum stuff) in which case you'd speak to your doctor
If neither is the case you will likely not qualify and you would have to pay out of pocket for any help that you need

Yes. The 'nurses' often referred to as baby nurses are not actually nurses at all. Many people in my neighborhood hire baby 'nurses' (even for singletons) and pay out of pocket

Yes.
I know one person that had a baby nurse covered through insurance. One of her twins had a feeding tube.

In my experience though having a feeding tube (in and of itself, without having any additional nursing needs) isn't typically enough of a skilled need to get much nursing

I was talking about people I know that are struggling with monthly expenses.

You'd have to ask them. It's possible that they were gifted the nurses.

The babies were preemies. I don't know if there were any other issues - I didn't want to pry.
