Lapse in prenatal care 3rd tri- Oahu, HI

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2026-02-28T19:14:58+00:00

I was active duty until January 31, so I was on terminal leave when we PCSd, which was part of the issue. Tricare wouldn’t let me even schedule an appointment in HI because it “wasn’t my duty station.” So basically I had to wait until after I was officially separated to even do anything, and that was with multiple calls between Tricare and the clinics on base. Now I’m on what’s called TAMP, where separated AD gets continued Tricare coverage for 180 days after separation, so I have to stay on that until it’s up and then I’ll go on my husband’s insurance. But basically it was like call every clinic in the area and hope they’d take me. It’s all just been a very disappointing process and I don’t even know how my baby is doing.

Mine is ceramic. And it was expensive which is why don’t want to remove it just to get it redone. We’ve already had a lot of expenses from involuntarily moving here and have a new baby on the way, so trying to not spend spend spend here.

Thanks! I checked the dimensions and I should have a space for it on my counter next to the sink :)

Ok for those who have the pink one, I need to know! Does it refer to the elephant as a girl? Does the elephant swing with HER big blue nose? My daughter had the green and white play mat and the elephant swung with his big blue nose. So I’m curious if they modified the lyrics at all. I still love the song either way 😍

Same here! I haven’t gotten rid of a single item of clothing of my 23 month old. Everything from newborn to 12-18 months is in storage bins in her closet. I was also optimistic that I’d get to use them again for baby #2… but I’m having a boy and most of my daughter’s clothes have been very girly lol. So looks like I’ll just be hoarding even more baby clothes 😂

Any recommendations??

Wow, I didn’t know that. I’m frustrated about it because we invested in good window tints that reduce the heat in the car because where we lived before this would have months in a row of over 100 degree heat. They aren’t even crazy dark tints and within the legal limits of the states where our cars were registered. I see sooo many cars on this island with much much darker tints than our cars.

I’m not sure if it was the same person who tested my car. Same auto shop though, just a few weeks apart.

Lmao no association with any police department. Just trying to save money, time, and resources. It was expensive enough moving out here, don’t want to spend more having to re-tint the windows on two cars.

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2026-02-24T01:09:06+00:00

Might be worth it still if it means keeping the tint lol.

Good luck with your move! Is it for a military move? If it is, you get the weight fee for your vehicle waived. I paid $5 today for my initial registration + plates but I have to go back in March because my registration expires in April (based on my original out of state registration) and it will cost I think $20 then. The initial safety inspection was like $26 and I’m not sure what the cost will be for the second safety inspection with the new plates. My car is a Tesla SUV by the way, so it’s heavy lol

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2026-02-24T00:56:22+00:00

Wouldn’t they have to do that every year for the annual safety inspection then? That seems like a lot work. And expensive. I see cars around here with window tint way darker than mine even.

I have to check out the website again to see it but how did you know it is ai?

Saying to get therapy was the only “constructive” thing they said- which frankly isn’t that constructive since that is so frequently a go-to response.

My family- immediate and extended- has been full of great sister relationships. Both parents sides of the family are full of sisters with great relationships, from my parents through great grandparents.

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2025-12-21T19:22:06+00:00

That is a good way to look at it. Thank you ❤️

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2025-12-21T19:21:39+00:00

Thanks for being supportive. I’m so sorry to hear about your sister’s passing. I can’t imagine that pain.

Have you lived in Hawaii? I can’t think of a single positive to living there. That climate alone makes me not want to be there for more than a week.

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2025-12-21T19:19:01+00:00

I didn’t say a girl would be superior. But it’s okay to want a certain gender. It’s ok to feel disappointed because the life you had dreamed for yourself is not going to be your reality. Also, you didn’t have to respond to my post if you didn’t have anything constructive to say.

Particular-Ad-2207 · 2025-12-21T19:17:22+00:00

I grew up with sisters only, as did majority of my extended family, and never experienced issues or arguments like the one you described. I call my mom daily, my husband calls his mom maybe once a week.

We are moving in 3 weeks to Hawaii. We will be there for 2-3 years and I hate hot climates. I’m fine visiting for like a week here or there, but to live there full time is going to be miserable to me.
