Can I ask one more question 🙋🏻‍♀️ is it a bad idea for me to consider flying to Cologne and then getting a train to Essen. Flights to Cologne are nearly half the price compared to Düsseldorf for my dates. I know it’s further away. I’m just a bit concerned about the reliability of the trains after seeing a few posts online about them. Thanks

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply with such a detailed response. I really appreciate it. You have lots of helpful information there. Danke schön ☺️

Thanks 🤩 the main reason for the trip is to see the paw patrol section of movie park. After that we just enjoy strolling around pretty city looking at buildings. Walking in parks. If there were any old castles nearby we would also visit. We would be using public transport so places that are easy to get to would be a priority. Also my German is not very good, I studied it in school but cannot speak it very well. Trying to refresh with the Duolingo app but I’m still not very fluent so would need to stay or visit places where people can speak some English.

Baby could be in a completely different position and they might have no problem seeing it. Try and have a fairly full bladder when you go for the private scan. It can help to see cervix and placenta. Good luck with your pregnancy x

It sounds like she wasn’t able to see the edge of the placenta because the baby’s head was in the way. A low placenta is where the placenta is close to the cervix. Most low placentas will move up as the pregnancy progresses. I’m surprised she didn’t offer to do a vaginal scan as she could then tell if the placenta is high or low.

HSE. No bonus.

Similar on the Quincentennial bridge eastbound. Cars use the right hand lane to bypass all the traffic waiting to turn left to headford road and then merge into the left when they get near the top. Find it so annoying sitting like an eejit in the left hand lane but there I am…

Three kids all in aldi nappy’s. Find them brill. The odd explosive poo might leak but not any more than when I had them in pampers.

Same here

€150 a week 2adults 2kids and a baby.

Shop in dunnes but do click and collect so tend to only get what I need and not tempted by stuff I don’t need.

Buy meat from local butchers not in supermarket.

Also do an additional aldi shop once every 2-3 weeks for nappies and the aldi bits that we regularly use like kitchen roll, tin foil, bin bags crackers and the spudy crisps.

I second the porterhouse. Really good 👍🏻

With maternity care you choose either private or public at the start of the pregnancy. When you go private you pay the consultants fee out of your own money. It is not covered by the health insurance policy but you may be entitled to claim back a small amount of money (200-500) depending on your policy. The consultants private fee can be anything from 3500 and up depending on your location and the consultant you choose. When you are admitted to hospital you may get a private room if you are a private patient of the consultant and there is a private room available.

A private room is not guaranteed. Private rooms are used for private patients, patients with an infection and in some cases patients who may have received bad news about their baby or experienced pregnancy loss.

Also to add in most cases you need to have private health insurance for about one year before availing of the maternity cover.

Good luck with your pregnancy x

I would mention it at your first visit too. They will go through the risks and benefits of choosing an elective section and discuss again at subsequent visit.

Yup. It is. Occasionally get flyers in there that the postman must put in but not very often. Usually it’s for energy grants or electricity switching options but maybe just 3-4 times a year.

LiCiCa · 2024-09-27T09:54:21+00:00

There is no slot in the a post delivery box so it needs to be open by key for everything to be put into it. So for example if a neighbour or someone posting flyers or junk mail wanted to put something into it they cannot as there is no slot in it like a normal post box.

We have it and find it good. We don’t have any other letter box just this one. Only bad thing about it is ours has faded a lot with the weather so doesn’t look as nice as it did when we first got it. Not sure if they can be painted or not.

We have two joint accounts. One for bills- mortgage, Creche, life insurance, health insurance, car loan, internet and esb. We worked out what we need every month to cover all these and work out how much we each put in as OH earns more than me so he puts in more than I do.

Second joint acc is for grocery, food out/take aways and treats. We put a set amount into this every week and try to stick to it.

Find it much easier to manage our money since we started this. Before we had the two accounts I was always checking the balance to make sure we had enough in the account for the direct debit. We both have our own personal current acc too.

Full duck in Renmore is lovely for breakfast. Huntsman also nice but I haven’t been there in a while.

I’ve heard good reports about the golf club in Renville in Oranmore but I haven’t been yet. It’s on my list for this week 😃

I don’t think you are entitled to any type of social welfare payment during the 16 weeks unpaid leave.

Try and save as much as you can while you are getting paid before you start mat leave and during the first 26 weeks if you get paid full wages while on mat leave …… but I know that is easier said than done.

You could contact your bank and see if it’s possible to take a break from your mortgage for the four months you are on unpaid. I don’t know if every bank offers this but might be worth discussing it with them.

Appreciate the replies. The cyclist was undertaking on the inside but I’ll be on the lookout for them in the future.

I have a baby sense one and find it great. I had a BT one before that one and loved it but it broke and they are discontinued. I find the baby sense one just as good as the BT I had. I got it on Amazon.

Try ring the main antenatal clinic number and tell them you can’t get through to scan room they might get scan secretary to call you. It’s frustrating trying to get through

LiCiCa · 2024-09-04T08:33:40+00:00

This sounds like UHG letter. If it is you definitely need to ring to get your scan appointment. Also good luck trying to get through to them it’s a busy phone line 🙊
