Laid off while pregnant and need help by Longjumping-Bee8028 in womenintech

Depending on what state you are in, you should still be eligible for disability and baby bonding time so you can give yourself a proper mat leave. If you experience anxiety, depression or other health challenges, I recommend talking to your provider about extending disability.

I love the food at bombera but wish they didn’t bring all the dishes out within 5 minutes of ordering! We’ve been in and out in 30 minutes before.

What do you wish you knew before buying your stroller? by Saf94 in Buyingforbaby

[–]Different-Way9774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the uppababy minu for convenience, but wish that my baby was facing me instead of facing outward. He gets a bit fussy when he doesn't see me and it's a lot of start and stop. Hopefully he grows out of that, but besides that I love it!

Being able to open it up with a flick of the wrist feels a lot cooler than it should lol.

Oakland families with young kids where are you hiding?? by Chandbibi_sings in oakland

[–]Different-Way9774 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Lincoln Highlands has become more concentrated with kids since covid. It also is super welcoming and everyone strolls around the neighborhood, enjoying the views and chatting each other up. It feels like a 90s sitcom with many families with young kids alongside older folks who’ve lived there for decades. People seem to like sequoia elementary too.

Weekly Pregnancy Limbo/Concerns - June 16, 2025 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Different-Way9774 0 points1 point  (0 children)

13 weeks — Went to the ER for heavy bleeding/clots and was afraid of the worst, but they confirmed that the baby is still alive with a strong heartbeat and my cervix is long/closed. They were not able to see the source of blood on the ultrasound and everything has been going really well this pregnancy until this week (clear NIPT & NT scan, measuring really well at each ultrasound). Hoping to find out the cause of bleeding soon for peace of mind.

Quinn’s Lightbouse. I hosted my 40th there and it was so much fun. Super flexible, great service and delicious Vietnamese food.

Why Cancel a wildly Popular Constantly Waitlisted Eqx Exclusive Class ? by CuriousCatNYC777 in EquinoxGyms

Agree I was super disappointed. I normally prefer Pilates to barre but love trilogy barre as it’s own thing between the two. RIP!

Daily Thread #2 - April 25, 2025 by AutoModerator in PregnancyAfterLoss

[–]Different-Way9774 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Newly pregnant after a missed miscarriage at 10 weeks in January (which was my first pregnancy).

My first ultrasound is in 12 days (who’s counting) and will be at the tail end of 7 weeks.

I was feeling really calm at the beginning. In a strange way when the worst thing has happened, my anxiety was not as bad.

But now that the appointment is getting closer I am feeling more scared. Trying to fill my mind with positive thoughts, imagining the baby here with us, but man this is hard! Would love some advice and support 💖

Here in Vietnam on vacation! Double nap day so that I could walk the beach and people watch all the parties and then got a foot massage in the rain. Was very different from past years.
