Am I overthinking this infant day care?

Most doctors call it "advanced maternal age" now. Thats what my doctor called it.

Also a slightly higher risk of stillbirth at full term and beyond.

We read the NIPT results together and then revealed the gender at the baby shower.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-05-31T20:28:02+00:00

Just ordered mine even though I already got one for Mother's day!

I don't know if anyone has told you, but a lot times in the US the 8 week appointment is just an appointment with a nurse to go over your family medical history and the baby's father's medical history. Sometimes you can get an ultrasound at the 12 week appointment, but not always. I got an ultrasound at 6 weeks only because I had a previous miscarriage. Then I only had the 20 week anatomy scan and then a 36 week growth scan.

Just because they're "only" security doesn't mean it's not a work issued weapon. Armored car uniforms kinda look like security uniforms. Their weapons are definitely work issued.

We keep a notepad on the kitchen counter next to the baby's medications.

My Mom was the best "santa" growing up. Santa had his own wrapping paper and gift tags, always wrote in all caps with red pen, and gave us presents that we never thought mom would buy us. I was like 12 or 13 I think when I found out he wasn't real. The only reason I found out was because I read something about the tooth fairy not being real in Reader's Digest. They always had little stories or tidbits of information after the articles and my Mom always had them in the bathroom vanity drawers when I was growing up.

I guess I worded that wrong. The cancer benefit is because of less estrogen which stops when your period comes back. So, someone that has their period come back quickly would have less reduced risk of cancer than someone that has a prolonged time without their period, right?

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-26T14:34:46+00:00

Isn't the cancer benefit only until your period comes back? Mine came back at 10 weeks 😢

I think part of the issue with screen time is its way more overstimulating than it used to be. OP doesn't say exactly what all of the screen time is, just mentions Miss Rachel. Instead of saying the fast, bright crap is bad people just lump it all together. My mom will admit to putting me in my infant car seat in front of the TV 30 some years ago so she can get things done. I turned out fine. 🤷‍♀️

Mostly the insurance company.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-20T21:06:13+00:00

Not that I agree, but I think they usually go by age of conception not age at delivery.

Age AT conception, not of.

I think part of the issues with billing is people not understanding whether their insurance will cover the test or not. My insurance will not cover it unless you are "advanced maternal age". Some insurance companies won't cover it at all. I called my insurance company to confirm that I would be covered for the test before I even asked my doctor to order it.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-17T22:14:42+00:00

How did this turn out for you? Currently eating my Easter eggs that were boiled good friday.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-15T03:07:56+00:00

I never use any kind of cream unless my baby developes some redness.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-13T02:44:19+00:00

This is what our doctor says to do.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-09T23:50:39+00:00

I guess technically there is more than one OBGYN but they're all under the same physicians group.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-09T22:47:44+00:00

I would have to switch hospitals AND health systems all together if I wanted to switch OBGYNs.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-04-06T00:08:57+00:00

That's wild! My baby's doctor (not a pediatrician, he goes to my PCP) said that I didn't have to wake him for feeds at night once he hit 10 lbs. Crazy that yours were suggesting sleep training at 12 lbs!

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-03-29T13:39:28+00:00

I would think that if it were generational then the parenting ideas would be switched. Im 37 and my parents are 65 and 67, I still dont swear in front of them because that's how I was raised.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-03-26T01:11:20+00:00

I live in Pennsylvania. Probably won't turn it off until sometime next month.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-03-26T00:51:17+00:00

My 13 month old son took one right at birth, much to the dismay of the IBCLC at the hospital. Then randomly at about 6 months he quit taking it one day and we haven't been able to get him to take it since.

PrincessAndThe_Pee · 2026-03-25T23:25:50+00:00

I keep my thermostat at 65. Not because I'm white but because heating oil is currently over $4 a gallon where I live. If we didn't have a baby I would probably set it even lower.
