 [ Symptoms ] what happens when medical insurance changes half way through pregnany  we live in connecticut and had cigna through my husbands employer now effective january 1st 2015 they are switching to aetna what happens with my coverage i am 6 months pregnant does it switch over to aetna or do i remain under cigna until my child is born [ Disease ] this is a not uncommon situation the answer depends a bit on how the wound was packed for instance if you have sterile water and gauze you can wash your hands put on medical gloves dip the gauze in the sterile water and then gently re pack the wound yourself cover with a dry dressing or if you are not able to do that or not comfortable doing it you can simply leave the packing out cover the wound with a clean dressing and call your physician is office when it opens for further instructions leaving the wound unpacked for 24 hours or so is not likely to cause a problem with healing wishing you well
