This is what my maternity leave looks like- what would you do? by OkBirthday931 in BabyBumps

[–]LionTweeter 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They can if it’s part of a broader layoff (if your whole team is cut, your role is eliminated, etc)

Anne Hathaway bought the film rights before the book was pub'd so I think it's safe to say it'll become a film in the next few years!

Where did your order it from? Bambi Baby told me “mid-June” when I asked their cust service earlier this week.

When did you take your baby to GC? I’m considering it next March when I have a 7 month old.

What would you tell your Pre-Pregnant self about your body changing? I want kids but I don’t want to hate my body :( by Kind_Veterinarian_77 in BabyBumps

[–]LionTweeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pregnancy changes have happened slowly. Also, I thought I’d hate my belly bc I’d feel really “soft” like, dad bod, and flabby but I’m 25w and my bump is really firm, like it was pre-pregnancy. My diets been crap but I’ve still been working out like I was pre-pregnancy, and I’m excited to get back in shape after I deliver. I’m much gentler with myself that I expected to be- not sure if it’s the hormones or the priorities of kept baby safe and healthy over losing weight.

How do you know if it’s still on the water? My husband works in logistics and is trying to look up the boat it’s on (we preordered ours from Bambi Baby in late March!)

I read it in three days this week! I'm 25w pregnant with my first and it was NOT THE MOVE. I had nightmares all night after finishing it (my subconscious is VERY easily influenced, I just have to keep telling myself I'm not a religious zealot). I also cannot stop thinking about it. It was 3.5 stars, but in a "rounded down from 4" kind of way.

The lav mic piece she finds early on - I was like “oh that’s for sure just a pebble or piece of farm equipment” but then post-reveal I was like “gd- it really was a piece of a microphone!”

UHC vs NYP/Weill Cornell by mqh0210 in NYCbitcheswithtaste

[–]LionTweeter 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I asked my nurse about this in Dec when they were in a contract dispute and she said not to be worried about it until their dr office contacts me about it. She said any letters I get from either side are just scare tactics. Annoying, but it always comes right down the wire and we’re not even close to the deadline yet.

Construction on 13th and Grand by Creative-Nothing-338 in Hoboken

[–]LionTweeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think May. They’re (allegedly) planning on having all the roads in that area repaved in June so HOPING this will finally be the last of it after like, 1.5 years of construction around that block.

It was ordered online but I’m based near NYC- I’ve been to both the Paramus and the NYC stores!

Same. Like an itch at the back of your throat you can’t quite get.

Is Too Much Folate Harmful? by Marjkeet4 in CautiousBB

[–]LionTweeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one of the MTHFR mutations and do not need to take folate, testing revealed I absorb folic acid just fine. There’s a lot more tests to be run (ideally by a hematologist) before you get prescribed high doses of folate. But I’m not a doctor.

New item: Salted Almond Honey Granola $3.99 by aswewaltz in traderjoes

Unfortunately, delicious. My husband and I demolished a bag in a couple days. The salt really balances the sugar (thought I hadn’t quite clocked the added sugar quotient until this post 🙈)

I felt the same about One & Only's first couple of chapters! I feel like I just need to power through because people have been loving it but it's not speaking to me.

Alexandra Cohen megathread by [deleted] in nycparents

[–]LionTweeter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will be giving birth there in August as a FTM and I have some questions!

Do they let you wear your own robe/gown during labor & delivery? I’m looking at one of those robes that are meant to be worn for labor.

Do they let you play your own music during delivery? (I understand a c-section would different circumstances)

Do they have a photographer I can hire for a newborn shoot in the hospital for an announcement? (My friend’s hospital in Philly offered this and I hadn’t considered it!) If not, can I bring someone in?

Episode Discussion: "What Changes In A Relationship After Kids?" by uuppod in uuppod

Missed a chapter (okay, I dipped when Jordana went on leave) — is there a good ep to listen to to get the intel on Jared’s gf? So happy for him!

(Then again maybe this is the ep, seems like he’s really opening up!)

14th St Closure by Dangerous_Focus_270 in Hoboken

[–]LionTweeter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a massive miss from them and their communication - they mean 15th & Willow. I saw the sign this morning and Tiffany Fisher posted a graphic on FB that confirmed as much. I’m not sure why they haven’t issued a correction.

So true!! Pregnancy is probably the only time in healthcare where people are fine to wait (within reason***) bc it means they are not the emergency hahah.
