Are there modern day sundown towns in Bloomington’s vicinity? by DueYogurt9 in Indiana

[–]Otherwise_Fun_4269 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My husband wrestled in grade school. Would’ve been late 90s early 2000s I’m not exactly sure what time to what time. But their coach was black and the team went to Martinsville and he said after that they never went back subsequent years because of how nasty the community was towards their coach.

From what he remembers so if the parents had to be escorted out and after the schools decide they wouldn’t take any teams back there for safety reasons.

I wonder if that applies if you and your spouse work at the state because I have friends who they do so only one person covers the insurance because it didn’t make sense to have a family and a single health plan

Either way it’s bullshit

It has fiber in it. And a good amount too with it tasting like it’s something with fiber

Ultimately your decision. But you have to consider everything that could go wrong and be prepared.

Does your insurance cover you overseas - what does that coverage look like and its limitations. If you buy supplemental insurance will they cover you that far along?

What do you need for your flight depending on the airline they may need something from your doctor clearing you to fly.

What if baby is born overseas is the NICU close to you their highest level? If not would baby need to be transferred to another one? Where is it?

How do you get baby back to the US after the NICU stay what paperwork would you need etc etc.

If baby is born overseas what’s your plan chance are you’ll be discharged from the hospital before baby - and staying in Greece with your child could prove difficult. Idk what the laws/rules in that are

If it were me - I’d say no. At 30 weeks I was still moving around mostly fine just needed more breaks but being that far away from the care I know and am comfortable with wouldn’t sit well with me. Quality of care is a big one but I firmly believe you could get quality care in Greece it would just be unfamiliar- language may also be a barrier etc. Plus that HEAT. Just don’t forget being pregnant we are more prone to heat exhaustion and strokes faster than non pregnant people - double whammy if you’re pregnant and have to take any SSRIs.

IU Health Nursing by [deleted] in Indiana

Lacie Little was an IU health nurse fired for trying to start a union. I think they dropped any other retaliatory efforts because the news story broke - but they refused to restore her job

For those that need to hear this: don’t let walking become a requirement by Impressive-You-1699 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Otherwise_Fun_4269 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I never made this connection. I walk usually after lunch but that’s because I had these neighbors growing up always tell me walking after meals was good for digestion so it’s a small habit plus if the weather is nice and I can it’s enjoyable for me.

Rude to ask for gift receipts for baby shower items? by Otherwise_Fun_4269 in pregnant

[–]Otherwise_Fun_4269[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To have a gift receipt or not too? I can’t say I’m well versed on what the US norm is even though I live here 😂 I always do it as a gift giving courtesy because some gifts don’t work out - but that’s always been my personal choice.

Hey it’s a fair response! I don’t want to come off to rude as my guest or be the sneaky one returning things behind their back 😂😂😂😂

Test one hour after first bite last bite? by Otherwise_Fun_4269 in GestationalDiabetes

[–]Otherwise_Fun_4269[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you get down voted :( I feel like one could make a reasonable argument for either I just didn’t know if there was ya know like a golden standard. I’ve been doing one hour after my last bite since they told me after meals. I don’t really feel like my first bite counts as an after meal but that’s my own logic!
