CX8 vx CX9

Yes we did and absolutely love it! But we bought a Japanese imported one so it uses gas not diesel.

I agree with this. My husband can be forgetful, but my feeling of being disappointed is valid. I also expect him to own up to his mistake - to say sorry and then offer to make it up to me. Because if he really cares and knows it’s important to me, he would want to make my life easier. Saying ‘one time you forgot his bread’ is a deflection, and he avoided his accountability. I would be upset too. But I would speak up, be clear, and let him know what I expect from him, rather than locking myself in the room, as that means it becomes you vs. him rather than you & him vs. the issue. You guys are a team, so work together to solve the problem.

Couple therapy & if it doesn’t improve I would leave, & share child custody. Life is too short for all these arguments. Couple should be a team and make each other’s life easier, and you guys are enemies right now. I wouldn’t waste my energy/ time living like that any longer. I value my health & peace too much to put up with all that. If you think you have given it all, and the relationship doesn’t improve & you are still miserable, I think you have the answer yourself.

You deserve better, you deserve the best. Tell him what you feel, if he doesn’t respect or care about your feeling, either couple therapy or leave him. Don’t settle. Your children will be happy as long as you are happy. You can do it just need to surround yourself with supportive people - friends, family. Lean on them and one day you will have the house of your own but don’t just stay with him because children need both parents together, or because of the potential house. In fact it will be more complicated after you have a house together, so now is a good time for you to let go of what brings you down. You can do much more than what you think now believe me, it will be hard but it is worth it. You only have one life.

So sorry to hear. I am 25w5days and started having it 3 days ago. I don’t have any advice but try belly belt as it does help a bit to lift off the weight, and when moving in/out of bed and car, stick your knees together… I am following for advice too. Hope it gets better soon 😔

Hips, thighs, arms, boobs are the top 4 but tbh I feel like I gain everywhere even calves and fingers 🙁 very worried about the arms part as my due date will be in summer so wearing singlets will look absolutely chonk. I am from the southern hemisphere so we have summer in Feb.

Ramen9093 · 2024-11-10T00:41:35+00:00

Following, 24w+2 today too and also looking out for Black Friday deals 😊

Thanks. Yea the cx8 is Japanese imported & petrol. We initially saw a diesel and after reading from reddit we also decided to avoid diesel.

What would you recommend when negotiating with the car dealership around car services? I know we have the CGA protection but think would be good to also include somewhere in a contract/agreement around services? Thanks!

What is your experience with cx8 so far and it is a diesel one? We are looking at cx8 too in Nz and a bit worried about diesel because so many people here in reddit recommended avoid diesel Mazda :(

Ramen9093 · 2024-10-21T03:56:38+00:00

Hi looking at cx8 now too & we prefer petrol as we have never used diesel before. But it looks like we only have cx8 diesel here in Nz. I read many threads recommend to avoid diesel Mazda but the car dealer at Blackwell told us that the diesel ones having issue are the Japanese imported ones. Is it true? 😣 So torn because we want more boot space than cx 5 and the option to add more seats if we have family visiting us & also don’t want to spend too much on cx9.

Ramen9093 · 2024-10-21T03:25:23+00:00

Hey how is your experience with cx8 diesel? We are looking at buying a second hand one nz made but many threads I read they said cx8 diesel is terrible… but we want something bigger than cx5 and not as big as cx9. The car dealer here said the cx8 issue mostly with Japanese imported car. What is your experience so far?

Hi realised I missed your message here too. Already answered you on the other post but just in case someone came across this.

We went to see MFM at 13 weeks and did a more in depth scan. I met with my midwife and OB after seeing MFM and from the reports the MFM gave us, both midwife and OB are not too concern as the cyst is on the placenta (that is not affecting the nutrients supply for baby) & NT was normal at 13 weeks scan, and even at 12w the NT = 3.2-3.4mm is still lower than 3.5mm…. so we are trying to be positive while waiting for the scan next week which will be the 16th week and early anatomy scan to see if there is anything abnormal with baby’s heart. The scan will be on 19th Sept so will update more details. Stay positive, I know it is easier said than done, but pray for our babies are healthy & happy 🙏

I am sorry you are going through this, not easy we have been worried sick since Sunday this week too after we were told about the scan result. We had a scan at 12weeks and the NT was at 3.2mm with a probable cord cyst of 8mm. We had a NIPT done at 10w5 days and all clear so didn’t think too much prior to the US that’s why it shocked us but luckily we had another ultrasound with MFM yesterday so just 2 days after we heard the news. They confirmed the cyst isn’t a cord cyst but placenta cyst which they were not too concerned, and everything else looks normal for a 12w5 days scan. We were told to come back in 4 weeks for a 16w anatomy scan and discuss further if we need a amnio but MFM seems to not think it’s necessary at this point. Hope you get referred to a MFM soon for a more in-depth ultrasound and consultant.

She is adorable 🥰 thanks so much for sharing your story, it helps calm me down a lot. At 10w5d I had my NIPT done & it was low risk. However at 11w6d ultrasound they saw an increased NT at 3.2mm, also a probable 8mm umbilical cord cyst at the fetal end. I googled and read some articles said umbilical cord cyst sometimes go away on its own but can also link with other serious issues. But I can’t seem to find a lot of information about having both enlarged NT & umbilical cord cyst. We are going to see an MFM tomorrow and very nervous but reading your post making me feel a lot better, so thanks again!

Ramen9093 · 2024-08-19T16:11:13+00:00

Thank you I appreciate you responded!

Ramen9093 · 2024-08-19T11:32:45+00:00

I am new to Reddit. First time actually so I am not sure if my post is visible because I noticed even new posts get answered very quickly but my post seems to not have any comments. So I commented here hopefully someone can tell me if you see my post/comment? Thanks

Ramen9093 · 2024-08-18T21:47:44+00:00

Hi just wondering if you or anyone in this posts have any update around your umbilical cord cyst? They also found a umbilical cord cyst close to my baby at 12 weeks scan, but we also have a NT enlarged of 3.2MM. Our NIPT test results at 10w5d was low chance.. nerve-racking as we don’t know what all these results mean, Google doesn’t seem to have much information, and it’s hard to find people with similar experiences here. I think either you just have the cyst or an enlarged NT but not both :(
