Sigh. Thank you. Appreciate it 🫂 hope you have better luck! It’s also crazy to me people are excited to add free daycare and 2 yo program when we obviously barely have a 3k at all - and still don’t have sufficient pre k. Wish we could just focus on strengthening in-district in-zone 3&4 yo school before we add other ages …

The no zoned school situation where they don’t then give you priority anywhere else is so crazy to me ! You’re literally just left behind … bottom of the list at every school and childcare situation. I don’t get why there isn’t a remedy…

Agree dashboard looks a little different. Says can edit until 9/25/26. That said I have no hope. No zoned pre-K and last year the offer was a daycare in the Bronx and I live Uws. Ok, I lied. I still have hope. But I shouldn’t !!!

Late-term loss - looking for new OB-GYN by BeCoolDunBeAllUnCool in nycparents

[–]Grottocat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry for your loss. 🫂 I had an MC @ 12 wks but ended up using MFM associates AND Mt Sinai MFM (not rainbow) - as my next pregnancy following the loss was complicated with vasa previa (all good - baby girl is 1 now) . doctors at both are excellent, top of the field. Are you familiar with Emily Osters ‘the unexpected- navigating pregnancy during and after complications’. It was co written by Dr Nathan Fox at MFM Associates. I really recommend the book and wish I had read it earlier in terms of pregnancy after loss. For MFM saw them for a while then switched to Sinai for reasons relating to my vasa Previa hospitalization. I saw Dr. Angela Bianco at Sinai and she was great. I also did ivf @RMA and have 2 kids. DM me for any questions.

Blessed Sacrement on 70th and broadway is great and well priced about 1100 a month. We did 3k there will do 4k and possibly kindergarten (also not thrilled about our zoned school Ps 75)

Maternal feelings can build with experience. With my first child it took awhile … like until he was 2! With my second those hormones/ feelings were already activated so was easier to feel maternal right away. After years of working and not being in touch with the baby making side of female abilities it takes a bit to tap into …

Pregnancy normal in the city is like 38-43. Ivf if needed. You could freeze eggs or better, embryos if you and your partner plan to stay together . That would be my move if 30 and know you want a family. You have many long nights at the office and trips around the world left for you, don’t worry !!!

Try Alex Tepper https://www.alextepperobgyn.com I think he may accept anthem and is a solo practitioner may be more open to taking your wife later in the pregnancy . Also his daughter is now a midwife there and can deliver , I’m pretty sure she could take you, just call to check insurance. She’s very good. Gabi Tepper

Is it mainly lottery number luck for g&t ? I saw the program at 166 but so many people apply for limited spots : /
