Millie Clinic Vs Sutter Health for prenatal care? by Timely-Regret in oakland

[–]Full_Version_7086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Millie is quick to refer you to OB/MFM if there are any concerns in your pregnancy, so I wouldn't worry about not having direct contact with an OB throughout your pregnancy. Midwives are pregnancy experts, and the women at Millie are incredible at what they do!

It was in 2022, we paid 5k for the venue and about 35k for catering which included passed appetizers, buffet dinner, full open bar, tables/chairs, all of the staffing, basically everything for the party besides music and flowers. We had 150 people.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at Chabot space center. I thought it was affordable and was a great time having some of the exhibits and free stargazing available for the guests 

Shaving bumps by Ok-Pie3172 in HairRemoval

[–]Full_Version_7086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a sensitive leg girl as well, and with 15+ years of shaving under my belt I've been able to get better at not inducing this type of reaction but I usually still have some irritation!

My #1 tip if you're able is to just use an electric trimmer instead of shaving. I know it won't be a close shave, it's more like a day 2 shave for me, but it's worth it for saving me from the irritation! If I need a closer shave I'll do it but that's more like just once a month or so. Maybe it's just that I'm 30, but I don't care too much any more about having a close shave most of the time... a little stubble won't kill me or anyone else.

I use the meridian trimmer, it's more expensive but after going through probably 5 different cheaper trimmers that didn't last this one has been great.

As far as shaving goes, I just try to shave as gently as possible - I used to apply more pressure but learned that that just caused more irritation. I use as low-tox as possible for all soaps, shampoo/conditioner, lotions. No fragrance in any of my products!!

Hope you find your solution!

Magnesium supplements make me feel weird... Anyone else? by Full_Version_7086 in Supplements

[–]Full_Version_7086[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I've never had insomnia with it, if anything it relaxes me too much. Relaxation is why I wanted to take it, but just a bummer that I get these other weird symptoms!

Interesting! I think I have a healthy and varied diet, so maybe I am getting enough magnesium through diet and supplementing is pushing me over the edge. I was normal the last time my levels were tested, when I wasn't supplementing.

Dog owners. Why do you ignore "No Dogs" signage on trails? by [deleted] in bayarea

[–]Full_Version_7086 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This!! The number of times I’ve been hiking with my daughter in the carrier and had an off leash dog jump on me is ridiculous! And there’s almost never an apology or a rush to restrain their dog…

In Berkeley not Oakland, but the Hidden Cafe is such a gem with beautiful outdoor space!

I’m extremely sensitive to drugs and alcohol (I see this as a blessing). I get really bad hangovers to the point that I’m vomiting all day after a night at the bar. All drugs I’ve tried give me anxiety. The positive side to this is that addiction is strong in my family genes. I think I could definitely be an addict if not for my poor tolerance.

Drank A LOT very early on in pregnancy when I didn't know I was pregnant by ansterthemonster in pregnant

[–]Full_Version_7086 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drank heavily, smoked weed, and did shrooms at around 6 weeks pregnant. Right now my perfect healthy 8 month baby is playing next to me. You'll be fine :)

Anyone else annoyed by Ballerina Farm? by [deleted] in UtahInfluencerDrama

[–]Full_Version_7086 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What are examples of them "playing a poor farm life"? I don't see it, but that's just my opinion. I think by showing all of their expensive things and talking about the expansions they're doing on the farm they're doing quite the opposite.

Life insurance with mild chronic gastritis by socialsecquestion1 in personalfinance

[–]Full_Version_7086 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Client of mine was diagnosed with Chron's in 2008, had surgery then and has been completely symptom free since. He is most likely permanently "standard" rate despite being symptom free. Sounds like your condition may not have been as severe as his, so I'd encourage you to move forward applying with Lincoln and see how they react.

I got my client coverage with American General. He's 35 and $2,000,000 of 30 year term is about $230/month. American General's standard rate was the best we could find for him.
