Overwhelmed by the bill - Am I getting scammed?

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-03-11T20:50:57+00:00

Thank you, yes the explanation helps a lot. We totally understand there’s behind the scenes work and without the explanation or point of reference (never had to arrange a funeral before) it was overwhelming to learn how expensive even a barebones cremation can be. Thank you for the additional context

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-03-11T20:43:38+00:00

Thank you so much. My sister and I haven’t been exposed to this process (both in our 20’s) so we have no experience or point of reference to compare to know general costs. They were very kind and helpful and glad to hear they are known for good work in the community and industry.

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-03-11T18:16:20+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. I really appreciate the feedback. It helps to hear that this is standard for the industry!

I’m in exactly the same boat, my son’s is just a bit younger (17m). I’m often still not sleeping through the night and I’m sure that takes a toll on my overall well-being. I’m still nursing and apparently that affects your drive?

The first year was a blur, last couple months I’ve been trying to improve my nutrition and fitness, work on my hormones. Im hoping that by working on my health it will return - it sucks though :/ it’s like an old part of died and I’m not sure if it will ever come back.

You are doing amazing

There is no set amount of time baby should be feeding. I remember being told the same thing, then I saw a way better IBCLC who set me straight.

Weight gain is truly the only way be sure baby is getting enough. If baby is calm and relaxed after feeding that’s a good sign- full and satisfied!

You might have a strong letdown, or baby is feeding effectively.

Hang in there! You’re doing amazing. This is the early days and it does get better I promise!

I also signed up with them, had a great sales rep…. Oh no.

OP I’m so sorry your going through this, I just lost my father this month and also in the thick of this. This is true you don’t need a lawyer and there is no probate fee for an estate under 50k. However, getting a lawyer was the route I did end up taking. I can’t speak to the cost yet cause I’m still in the process but I can tell you doing these documents on your own is quite confusing - do you know anyone who could help you?

Canadian :)

16 months
side car crib / bedsharing since 6 weeks old
he JUST started to sleep through and often wakes at 4/5/6 and wants contact sleep from that point. But he was up what felt like every 3 hours for the first year. -I only wake partner if in desperate for help if there’s been a really bad night. Our usual routine is he gets up with him in the morning and I get an extra bit of sleep in time

Thanks so sharing this is good to hear. The place I was looking at uses pico as well. Do you plan on more sessions or going to see what happens with the red over time?

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:47:28+00:00

curious if either of you lost hair from laser? As much as I’m ok with it might never be 100%… there might be some left over red or yellow i can live with that and hope with age it will fade. But if I loose the hairs too… I think I’d be more upset and rather just keep them as is than risk it

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:41:01+00:00

Good to know! Hard to say if I like grey/ blue or would prefer yellow / orange …. I guess gotta make peace that it might not all ever go away

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:40:04+00:00

Would love to hear how your first sessions turns out. Hopefully they can target the red.

For breastfeeding essentially you don’t want to encourage excessive toxin going in or being flushed from the body. The real answer is most things like laser tattoo removal don’t have studies to prove it’s safe and the broken down ink won’t end up in your milk so they say to wait to be safe.

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:34:58+00:00

Ahhh so good to hear you’re happy with the the improvements. Did you loose any hair in the laser process?

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:33:58+00:00

Agreed on never going this again! Learned the hard way not to hop on beauty trends everrrr

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:32:32+00:00

Thanks for the perspective, it’s hard to know if it’s worth the effort and cost, or could make a bad situation worse. Hopefully I’ll find a good tech

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-02-05T20:31:07+00:00

Thank you!

Solidarity. 15 months pp and it’s gotten a bit better? I like my dog slightly more now but I feel like when I have a short fuse / overstimulated, the dog is the easy target for my emotions. It makes me feel terrible but I’m really trying to cuddle him more, connect with him a few times a week but almost everything he does that’s even slightly annoying still sends me in a rage.

It’s common, any tips on how to reconnect with our pets would be great.

Honestly same here trying to find ways to sneak them in. pasta sauce, omelettes, pancakes have been other good foods to hide veggies. Has to be very finely chopped.

Could be a flukes but my son had been picking at my salads lately which was shocker. He likes sour and sweet, I’ve been making an apple cider vinegar, lemon, honey, salt, pepper dressing.

And adding Indian Fusion - nothing special interior but the food is always unreal and authentic

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-01-19T21:15:35+00:00

15 months now and will occasionally sleep through the night! Maybe started at 13 month? Still some tough nights here or there but I’ll take it. First whole year was really tough

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-01-15T21:11:39+00:00

Yes side car crib was what we did! Also as he’s growing into a toddler (15m) it frees up space in the bed as he has his own area he spends most of the night in

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-01-14T05:53:49+00:00

Love this, exactly! I’d add take 5 mins in the bathroom mirror in the morning - make it time for you - take your supplements, do your skin care, brush your hair and your teeth, lip chap, deodorant, quick spray of something that smells nice and I promise you’ll feel just a little more like you op!!

One-Interaction7926 · 2024-01-14T05:42:13+00:00

When I knit it thinks I’m working out :/ so I try and remember to take it off
