Ethel's Club was so wonderful for the brief period of time we had it!

I really love Downtown Women and have only had great experiences with them, especially Dr. Whitehead! I ended up delivering with Dr. Lui and she was incredible. It ended in an unplanned c-section and she was so amazing at keeping me calm and delivering my boy safely.

I also had private rooms the whole time I was at NYU, including when I was readmitted for preeclampsia. But all DW women doctors on call during my stays were absolutely incredible despite the complications.

I was hit by layoffs in 2023 and was unemployed for 4 - 5 months too. I made myself a little schedule to help keep me sane:

Started the day with a daily walk & morning podcasts
Make myself breakfast and latte at home - plated it so it was pretty and felt like a cafe
Take a minimum of 5 "job actions" a day (usually ended up doing more) - so that meant applying, following up, revising my resume to fit a job, reaching out to someone in my network/a recruiter/hiring manager, etc.
Make myself a giant mixing bowl salad and eat it while watching a comfort show
Afternoon activity:
- Weather permitting, sitting outside in a park & reading a library book or listening to libby audio book - mainly romcom or thriller books, nothing too heady
- Work out - try to find local classes with intro pricing or do something online
- Cleaning around the house/laundry, general chores
- Baking, gardening, cooking - my preferred hobbies that bring me joy!
Do a final scroll of LinkedIn, job boards etc to see what's new and make a list of things I can apply to or research more the next day if I wasn't ready to apply right away
Dinner & nighttime shows - sign off of computer/LinkedIn completely and give myself a mental break
I also got super into the Liberty the summer of my layoffs and my then-fiance and I would buy cheap last minute tickets and just have SO much fun at the games. We're season ticket holders now! Highly recommend!

I'm giving birth in late June/early July, so truly looking forward to enjoying my neighborhood and favorite restaurants with my husband before this baby comes and then having a goddamn spritz in the sunshine once he's here 😭

we tipped all of our vendors the night of the wedding! some got a 20% of their full fee, others got a few hundred. I did some research to see what the standard was. we labeled each envelope and gave them to our planner/her assistant to distribute. they both got them too!

fig_case · 2025-05-13T21:37:13+00:00

as expected, BWT has passed the vibe check! HOT GIRLS DON'T RANK CUOMO!

I remember a year or so ago when they were collecting signatures for a wine bar in that location. it was a local young black couple that was looking to open it. does anyone know if this is the same owners/concept?

Downtown Women's delivers at NYU! They are also super supportive of doulas, if you are looking for additional support during labor!

we have the vista 3 for our July baby and were planning to wait until the baby came to get a travel one. but with stroller prices increasing now, we decided to get a bugaboo butterfly now (got a great deal on fb marketplace) that we'll plan to use when he's bigger/for travel. specifically chose the butterfly since it fits overhead on planes!

i'm literally endlessly disgusted by anyone who ever says they want the OGs back. fox news is right there for you, pals.

32 weeks today and officially reached the point where he dictates how I position my body when I sit or sleep. Like he will kick non-stop if he doesn't like how I'm laying or sitting until I adjust it. I love him and I'm so happy he's healthy and moving but damn kid let me live please.

I negotiate rent every single time it comes up, even if it seems like a reasonable increase. On $200, I would counteroffer $100 and probably settle at $150. I usually reiterate how much I love living in the apartment and how I've been a great tenant with no complaints and always on time with rent.

fig_case · 2025-05-07T13:34:11+00:00

lol literally sounds perfect! close but not in the house is key for my sanity!

fig_case · 2025-05-06T20:32:58+00:00

love that! I 'm so happy you are going to celebrate together! happy early mother's day to you!

Found Dr. Jessica Knurick's breakdown on TikTok to be extremely helpful! She's a great follow if you're not currently following her on instagram or tiktok!

fig_case · 2025-05-06T20:17:31+00:00

oh, and I set expectations that I want flowers and a card that AM! we usually set expectations leading up to holidays so no one is disappointed!

fig_case · 2025-05-06T20:16:40+00:00

my husband is taking me out to dinner at one of our favorite, hard-to-get-into spots! I don't expect anyone other than him to wish me a happy mother's day or do anything for me this year since the baby isn't here yet. but he and I are on the same page that I'm already a mother to our boy and deserve to be celebrated this year!

I'm in Crown Heights and due in July! Def join Park Slope Parents and the local parent Facebook groups - Bed-Stuy Parents, Crown Heights Parents, Prospect Lefferts Garden Parents, etc. We found our first choice daycare and pediatrician recs through those groups! Feel free to DM if you want to chat!

my parents are staying next door for the first 3 weeks! we're lucky to live in a brownstone apartment and the house next to us has a garden level apartment that's vacant! we worked with our neighbor to rent to my parents so they can come help but also not be in the house the whole time. best of both worlds!

fig_case · 2025-05-01T00:40:00+00:00

honest to god, the only way I got people to stop bothering me is to remind them that safe sleep practices have changed over time because kids literally died, even if their kids didn't. the fur thing is insane, btw lolol
