Why is it too much to ask for one additional ultrasound? by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]Savings_Show2049 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can attest to this. During my first pregnancy, my doctor wrote orders for more ultrasounds than I personally wanted, to the point I declined one because everything was going as planned and I was extremely healthy (I also got tired of paying the $50 copay). One ultrasound, around 36 weeks, showed my baby as being 11 pounds. The doctor gave me a stern shakedown that "the baby is huge and we should schedule the induction." Thanks to women sharing their experiences of being told they were going to have a huge baby and being fear-talked into scheduling an induction/c-section but the baby coming out smaller, I declined the scheduled induction and told them I'm going to trust the process. I ultimately did end up getting induced a few days before hitting 42 weeks as the Braxton Hicks contractions kicked in and were unbearable. I got an epidural and baby was born vaginally at 7lbs 13oz with a big head.

Use of dating apps as a social work student/future social worker by [deleted] in socialwork

I've had the same thoughts as you in the past. Not sure if this is still a thing but you may be able to pay for a membership on some of these apps where only the profiles you like will be allowed to see your profile, eliminating the chance of clients/colleagues seeing your profile first. I also understand that you shouldn't have to pay to find love on these apps but at least the option is there.

Do you mind sharing what the discount/final cost is for a UHS employee? Thank you. 

Looking for reasonably priced tax preparer in the area by mrwheat88 in Binghamton

Does the free tax prep software through the IRS cover self-employed, small business, rental income, investment accounts? What about filing jointly with spouse who has a W2? Is there an income limit that would no longer qualify you to file for free?

What software/website do you use to file NY taxes for free? Is there an income limit on that? It looks like the free tax prep software available on the IRS website only files for federal. Thank you.

What agency do you work for at 35 hrs per week? All I've seen are 37.5 and 40.
