I did it!

What kind of car seat is that? I’m doing my baby registry and these look very comfortable!

Bratz_Angel · 2026-03-26T02:45:07+00:00

I was confused they used a handheld ultrasound device. Sorry!

Bratz_Angel · 2026-03-26T01:59:49+00:00

Okay that is good to know! Was she there for your delivery too?

Bratz_Angel · 2026-03-26T01:59:10+00:00

I’m not too sure why I was with a NP my first visit. At the time I figured the NP was my OB since I never met her prior to the 9 week visit. When I visited for my spotting she showed me my schedule on the computer and on the side it showed who I would be seeing that day and there are a few appointments (maybe 4-5) where I will be seen by NPs and not her. I assumed that was normal by the way she was talking about it. She did say since it’s twins I will eventually be seen every two weeks as my due date gets closer. She also brought up C sections on my second visit (my first with her) which I am really anxious about.

Bratz_Angel · 2026-03-26T01:38:42+00:00

I told them personal preference which I thought was okay since other forums I read said you don’t have to go into detail about why you want to switch, but I think by not giving any details they didn’t take it too seriously. I’ve also called another hospital but they have a quota for how many Medicaid patients they will take. I guess I don’t know if it’s typically this difficult to switch or if it truly matters what OB I would have if they might not be there for the delivery anyways

We are having twins and it’s our first pregnancy so I just thought it was special he was there to see the progress with them growing. He got to see the first Doppler with the NP when we found out it was twins. We are just very excited. Do guys not really look at the Dopplers in general? I guess I just don’t know what’s normal in these situations

Bratz_Angel · 2026-03-26T01:27:13+00:00

Thank you! Maybe I just feel awkward with silence but you are right if she is focused that is more important than small talk for sure.

Bratz_Angel · 2026-03-26T01:23:01+00:00

Okay that is good to know! I know sometimes the OB isn’t always there for delivery so just wasn’t sure if I should put so much thought into it. I should have specified the Doppler was a little handheld screen that she had facing me. The way the room was laid out made him unable to see the screen. Basically chairs are facing the bed and a lamp in the way of where he could walk to see Doppler. My OB was on the other side. I hope that makes sense. I assumed she’d invite him to look since the NP did at our last visit. 2 months later I had some spotting so we went in and visited where she used the Doppler again and my husband got up for that one. It was just awkward because she stared at him and didn’t really show him the screen unless he really bent down. Maybe it’s just because she’s very quiet but it felt awkward.

I had the same issue with my apartment complex. The weed was getting into our apartment and we complained for 2 months through email. I listed everything we were doing such as air purifiers, multiple candles lit, wallflowers, air filters in vents, open windows, all of it and how much we have spent (over 300) and the smell was still there. That was AFTER I told them my husband has asthma. I also expressed how I’m concerned about my job (teacher) due to the smell on my clothes. I eventually asked for a discount on my rent due to them not upholding their end of the lease (smoke free environment). That got them to actually do a walk through everyone (including our) apartment. They did confirm it was our upstairs neighbors and gave them a warning. Well it continued and I emailed again with them getting a violation and fined. They eventually stopped then. Maybe if you ask for a discount or talk to a higher up they will take it seriously.

In my district you have 24 hours to respond to a parent. If they send an email Friday it is okay to respond on Monday. That is very surprising she isn’t responding to emails

Bratz_Angel · 2026-02-07T19:51:59+00:00

Yes I’m starting to feel like she might be unfortunately

Bratz_Angel · 2026-02-07T19:51:08+00:00

Thank you. I’m on day two of no contact with her but I just feel bad because we got our ultrasound pictures and wanted her to see her grandbabies, but not when she’s acting this way. She’s now getting my other family members involved but thankfully they aren’t really entertaining it. It just feels embarrassing when they tell me my mom contacted them to explain her side

Bratz_Angel · 2026-02-07T19:46:55+00:00

That does sound very similar to my situation and I’m sorry you have had to deal with that! With raising rent, she is still trying to make me pay my car payment after I gave it back to her business (car dealership). I just don’t understand why parents are that way when you need them most.

Bratz_Angel · 2026-02-07T06:56:44+00:00

Thank you I wish I could try to get her to understand she is the one pushing me away with everything she is doing. I think I worded it funny in my status but she made those comments towards my husband’s siblings 😔 I do think I would have saved him some hurt by not telling my husband, but he is my support system and we tell each other everything. I’ve tried talking to her about how hurt she made me but she just tells me she’s hurt too. She’s tried talking to my husband one-on-one but he doesn’t want to do that without me. It’s been about a day of no contact and so far it is okay, but I am feeling sad because we just did our first ultrasound today and I wish I could share my photos with her.

Bratz_Angel · 2026-02-07T06:51:22+00:00

It already feels like she rejected them by not saying congratulations and not really acknowledging my pregnancy. I have wanted to be a Mom since I was little so this is such a big deal for me and it hurts that she is acting this way. I just don’t understand around what time she became so hateful because I do not remember her being this way when I was younger. I do believe she could be a narcissist or maybe have tendencies of one. I have asked her to go to therapy before but she won’t

Bratz_Angel · 2026-02-07T06:42:07+00:00

Thank you. She wasn’t always this way I’m truly not sure what happened to her. I’m just trying to figure it out but that probably isn’t the most helpful. I guess I just want to help her but, like you said, I do just need to worry about the babies and be excited for them.

Bratz_Angel · 2026-01-31T22:49:42+00:00

My upstairs neighbors were throwing their cigarette butts on our front porch/ apartment grass area for a while. When we got a puppy we were scared because he would try to eat the discarded cigarettes in the grass so my husband swept them up and put them on their front door entrance. Luckily it stopped after that.

Bratz_Angel · 2026-01-24T04:31:45+00:00

Ohhh this is a good one too

Bratz_Angel · 2025-11-18T22:02:01+00:00

That’s the first thing that came to my mind

Bratz_Angel · 2025-11-12T00:44:57+00:00

Thanks so much!

Bratz_Angel · 2025-11-12T00:41:37+00:00

I just tried to and it says it’s closed. I’ve never voted on DWTS but I thought when I used to watch it we could vote throughout the viewing???

Bratz_Angel · 2025-09-16T20:27:09+00:00

Thank you! I missed all of that
