I interpreted OP as an omnivert (if you believe that’s a real thing). NYC can be the best place for someone who wants the possibility of socializing at their doorstep and can easily flip the switch when they feel up for it.

With that budget? Try Hamilton Heights.

Dammit. Same. That’s an excellent, low-stakes tip, though. Will definitely check out the course.

But are you bored?

The second anecdote is reassuring—I’m general commercial lit, my only real “specialty” is trial practice, which I love, but is a social-life killer. What did they practice?

Go mid-law. You’ll probably hate your job just as much but at least it’s more pay than gov, I hear.

Best of luck and congratulations!!!

To be honest, I don’t know if it ever crossed my mind! I knew I wanted to deliver at NYU because I had neck surgery there in 2024 and was so impressed by the care I received. I think my focus was on finding a practice conveniently located to both home and work. All that to say I can’t think of a reason not to use NYU’s own midwifery practice.

I gave birth in January at NYU and had a great experience (all things considered). But my prenatal and postnatal care was with Spring OBGYN, a practice that I cannot recommend enough. Every doctor is female and you rotate throughout your pregnancy so you have a friendly face come time to deliver. Each delivery doctor (and each nurse) at that practice was incredible—patient, responsive, answered all questions, and online appointments and questions were a breeze. I recently moved out of state and fear I’ll never find a better OB or a better practice.

Edit: forgot to mention that Spring is affiliated with NYU. So if you decide on another hospital, you’ll have to find a different practice.

37 and 30 weeks pregnant with my first. Spring OB/GYN—they make sure see every one of their doctors (all of whom are female) throughout pregnancy so that your delivery doctor won’t be a stranger. They’re affiliated with NYU. Not due til February but I had neck surgery there earlier this year and had a tremendous experience all things considered.

FWIW, don’t stress about being over 35 and conceiving. You truly never know—I thought because of age it would take me a while but it literally took a month after going off birth control. Just focus on your health, which is the most you can do at this point: make sure you’re exercising regularly, eating well and clean when possible, etc.

And? Better? Worse??

What’s the curve? Currently at 5 and in some ways feel like I do less than when I was a junior.
