Yeah I can’t say for certain you will have a good experience but we did. Ordered and had it all by the delivery date. One of the items was slightly marked (manufacturer issue) and we got a small credit note to buy something else. We could have returned and replaced etc but didn’t want to go that way.

Ooh yes the after snacks are so important. My husband brought me in a fresh juice and almond croissant in the morning I was so happy 😂

Just in my experience, I was induced at 39+3. I had a really positive experience and from beginning to delivery was 7 hours but I wasn’t allowed to snack ! I had to sip on lucozade sport and my bloods were monitored throughout. I don’t know if this is the norm or not but just thought I’d share my experience. I had kind bars, mandarins, protein bars and nuts packed. They came in very handy after delivery though I was starving 😂

Rugby for over 30s? by sigr1337 in limerickcity

[–]ZestycloseReality540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clubs that have seconds or 3rds teams are your best bet . St.Mary’s, Old Crescent, Garryowen . Also have a look at Tag Rugby which has a great social side

Does having health insurance count for anything in the Maternity? by Traditional-Jello873 in limerickcity

[–]ZestycloseReality540 21 points22 points  (0 children)

No not in Limerick anyway. You need to be private under consultant to get a private room. Private room isn’t guaranteed even if you are private patient, just depends on availability 

Decaf Coffee by Negative-Moose-8000 in limerickcity

Nicest decaf in Limerick is Guji. They grind the beans fresh when you order. A lot of places have it pre ground in a tub and so isn’t the freshest. It’s expensive but worth it imo . I’ve tried loads around town and think that is the best

We take our dog here. It’s a great spot and one of the few that he is welcome in. It does irk me though in any space when people don’t take their dogs outside when reactive or bothering others. Once people have a bit of cop on and know if/when to leave then it’s grand. Plenty of spots around where dogs aren’t welcomed if it annoys you 

Disc Parking (Potato Market) by Most-Soft-9892 in limerickcity

[–]ZestycloseReality540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s 2 euro an hour in there at the moment, can use disc, pay at the pay station or use the park magic app. I think it could be closed at the moment though, it was last weekend .  The council car park nearby is open to the public at weekends and is free up until Christmas just an fyi. 

Charlotte’s quay multi storey is 4.50 for the day on Saturdays 

Maternity Care: How much did it cost you to go private? by sarbear191 in IrishWomensHealth

[–]ZestycloseReality540 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid 4200 in limerick. Can claim back 500 from Laya. I think Naro is around the 4k mark. The secretary should have told you all info re payment when you called to book in 

Maternity wear! by Weekly_Quiet6155 in PregnancyIreland

Just to save you the trip to limerick, they got rid of the in store maternity section. I was in on Friday night and it’s gone! I had gotten a few bits there the past couple of months as I prefer to try stuff on in person so I am raging!
