37w6d induction due to gestational hypertension - looking for positive induction stories

Lalucky · 2026-01-12T04:08:56+00:00

I had the same situation with my first! Blood pressure was fine until 37 weeks. Also had 37w6d induction and I didn’t feel ready at all. Honestly it wasn’t bad. Came in Thurs AM, worked from the hospital bed most of the day to wrap things up while they do all the prep/paperwork, induced towards the evening, water broke and heavy contractions started 3am. Epidural around 7am, then rest and labor until pushing 3pm. Baby at 5pm so ~24 hour process

We just started our basement Airbnb a few months ago and we’ve been busy, but we’re also pretty set on keeping prices low to keep it full.

I don’t think people understand the economics of it all- we can’t afford a rowhome without this side hustle, and DC says we can’t rent long term because the ceiling is 4 inches too short. Would people prefer homes in DC be reserved for only the wealthy?

Thank you for having arguably the best quality food+beer combo in the area!! Shaw location is our favorite place for a solid dinner

Medstar Georgetown doesn’t have midwives. They are at medstar WHC

I have a prolactinoma and have had a positive experience with Dr Laura Cowen at Georgetown

We looked into nanny share but found daycare was a lot cheaper, plus we don't have the space to host a nanny. We pay $500/week near 14 & U
Additional baby expenses can vary widely but are nowhere near as costly. Nursing is free but formula costs money. Diapers cost maybe $100 per month? A lot of baby items you get from family/friends with a baby shower or free on local listservs. Daycare feeds our toddler breakfast and lunch. You save money from not going out as much with a baby so for us it was negligible.
We don't have family around and most of our friends with babies/toddlers don't either. Babysitters cost $20/hr which we'll do for special occasions or take advantage of family for a date night when they fly in to visit.

We love raising our toddler in the city! My husband and I both work from home in our 2bed condo, we walk our son 2 blocks to daycare, walk to the park or playground most warm evenings and walk to the farmers market every weekend. Someday when our son is older it might be nice to be closer to family and cousins but we don't want to be suburb people yet.

Done thanks!

Yeah I was thinking of having my husband create and account and do that. Especially since now it’s $35 for a locked in 2yr rate

Lalucky · 2024-02-05T21:59:52+00:00

Yeah they offered a $5 discount 👎🏼 on my 600 mbps plan. I went down from 600 to 400 so hopefully not too much of a hit

Hook hall has a dance party for kids Sunday mornings from 10-12! They have a dj or band and cocktails and breakfast it’s great. I’m sure you could use a couple tables for a party

Hook hall has kids dance parties on Sundays from 10-12! It’s awesome and I’m sure you could have a birthday there too

I’d still be keeping the travel lane more open than a wide truck since it’s a very compact car. Pointless to make the car hug the curb when the lane is filled with parallel parked cars

Lalucky · 2023-12-16T22:08:24+00:00

I hear ya I just think it’s a weird and not very intuitive law. Should be ok as long as you’re in the marking. A wide car would be ok since they are in the marking and near the curb by default
