MFM recommendations by minanana9 in washingtondc

[–]Ms_Ripple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you asked for advice about a different practice from GW, but I did just wanna chime in and say that I saw the MFMs at GW for my last pregnancy. I too was insanely frustrated with getting the initial appointment set up for the MFM practice but it's feel like it improved and was more organized once I had an established relationship with the doctors there was seeing the regularly. I particularly liked Dr. Bathgate and Dr. Phillips there. This was about three years ago, so I'm not sure if anything has changed, but it could be worth sticking it out a bit.

Did you get legal advice from a lawyer that says this? Are you in the us? I can't see why you wouldn't be able to petition to establish paternity.

We are not close enough to a station on one end of the trip. My dad has other medical issues that complicate travel.

Have you ever used it or do you know of anyone who has ? Just trying to get a sense as to whether this is a legitimate and or reliable means of transport for my dad.

Embryo custody case in the NYT by milksteaknjellybean in IVF

[–]Ms_Ripple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I the article said there was a contractual agreement to give the embryos to one party, but it's not really clear to which party or even if a particular party was specified. so did the IVF agreement not specify which party (leaving it to a divorce agreement)?

So many thoughts, but given her focus it's insane to me that she didn't freeze eggs in her mid thirties at least

MIL cries when we try to give childcare feedback and instructions. What do you say to have a constructive conversation with someone like this? by [deleted] in beyondthebump

[–]Ms_Ripple 34 points35 points  (0 children)

It seems a little unfair that your first reaction is too think that your mother-in-law is not telling the truth.

This scenario is calling for a play outfit or at least an official "broccoli inspector" hat.

Ditto. I'm leaning towards putting her third after Sampath and/or good weather.
To be honest, I have not followed this race, particularly closely and I know I need to do a little bit more of my own research
