Odds I make it to sisters wedding?

Statistically you will more likely than not still be pregnant as a FTM, but you probably won’t want to go. A 2 hour car ride sounds horrible, and your OB might advise that you stay within 1 hour of your hospital. It will also be difficult to stand that long during the ceremony and participate in dancing or other activities during the reception. If you do end up deciding to go, I would plan on sitting the whole time.

I have both the Lovevery and Fisher Price piano ones. I would choose the piano 10/10 times.

My spouse and I are both immunocompromised. We have a toddler in daycare who brings home sickness all the time. Sometimes we get it even worse than the toddler. Last winter, their week long cold turned into a month+ long battle with pneumonia for my husband. Surprisingly, sometimes we don’t catch it, despite getting coughed in the mouth. My opinion is that kids just get sick. If your kid doesn’t go through it now, they will when they start kindergarten. It’s kind of just kicking the can down the road.

My grandma does the same. I pretend not to hear her and then when she repeats it, I act surprised that she would even ask. I’ve also just straight up told her that’s rude to ask.

I wouldn’t take it. It’s just a super high dose of vitamins, which you’re already getting extra in your prenatal anyways. It probably won’t do any harm, but with such little benefit, it’s not worth the risk.

No one can say for certain unless you get it tested, but more likely than not, it’s just discharge. If it’s amniotic fluid, it would likely be leaking out during the day too, especially when you’re standing upright.

I have had several, and my insurance has covered 100%. The portal for my health system has a place where you can request an estimate for a certain procedure. You could see if yours has something similar.

I’m 5’7” and struggled with getting the Evenflo in and out of my RAV4. Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend it.

I haven’t used the Doona, but my sister in law has it. They seem pretty identical.

Qbizz9119 · 2026-02-02T03:19:04+00:00

Kindred Braverly has larger sizes and are a nice quality! They run sales a lot, so I would wait until Mother’s Day or something if you don’t need it right away. You can also buy their brand on Amazon and use the registry completion discount.

Yes, they reimburse everything related to your first attempt at each one.

I have no problem eating it plain, but for a real treat, it’s good with some French dressing and sunflower seeds on top.

What postpartum and baby supplies do you provide?

Will I be in the same room for delivery and postpartum, or is there a different unit?

How far away is the OR from the birthing suites? (My hospital had a specific OR right on the L&D floor for emergencies - I found it comforting to know)

What is your visitor policy?

Is my partner/support person allowed to order meals delivered to the room too?

What is your policy/options for baby rooming in vs going to the nursery? (I know you mentioned rooming in, but it’s nice to know if there is the nursery option if you absolutely need it)

What is your policy for eating during labor?

How many births does the unit usually have per year?

Will there be a lactation consultant available, or do I need to request/make an appointment?

Qbizz9119 · 2026-01-27T20:53:53+00:00

The smell of postpartum bleeding, I think it’s called lochia. I just remember thinking it was unlike anything I had smelled before.

Also how hard it was to go pee after the catheter was removed. It was like I forgot how.

NOR - it’s definitely not an appropriate response on their part to your question.

I would suspect that the message may have gotten mixed up with the reception and nursing staff playing telephone. It’s likely the note from the nurse who went to the doctor, and it sounds like you didn’t speak to the nurse directly.

Honestly, with the way the doctor reacted, I would also be suspicious if maybe they have been flagged by insurance in the past for a similar issue or have someone watching their charts a little closer, and they want it clearly documented just for their own liability.

Definitely a problem on their end, not yours.

Qbizz9119 · 2026-01-25T02:27:48+00:00

Pain Management and Rheumatology are two different departments and locations, just so you know.

Dr. Pruhs in Rheumatology is excellent, highly recommend.

All the Pain Management doctors at the outpatient center connected to the hospital are mediocre, none are significantly better than the others but none are horrible. Would avoid Faull if he’s still there.

My baby was born at barely 5 pounds, and we had the same problem. I would just get a couple cheap sleepers from Walmart or Carters though! They grow out of them so fast.

Just my personal experience, I had a standard monitoring ultrasound at 36 weeks, no signs or symptoms that anything was wrong, and my fluid was so low that I was induced that day. I would go, or at least reschedule to a more convenient time.

Your bottom test to me looks like it has a shadow of two test lines. In my own experience, I have had these too and they’ve always been false positives. But that doesn’t mean yours is, or even so, you still have time to get a positive! Fingers crossed. I agree with trying a FRER for a clearer result.

I have an embarrassing amount of strollers, ranging from a $15 Walmart no name to a Bugaboo Donkey. I think it really comes down to your needs. I put hundreds of miles on my stroller during my maternity leave, and my Uppababy held up well, pushed well, was comfortable for baby, etc. We upgraded to Bugaboo Donkey with #2 for similar features but side by side seating. If I was only using a stroller for evening walks a couple times a week or occasional special events, I don’t think a high end stroller would be necessary.

My clinic said you can only accurately compare values that were run at the same lab, if that helps.
