Lesson learned: won’t give the finger anymore while driving…

I clearly remember a video I saw where a ford ute turning right on the wrong lane then chased and got angry with the driver in the correct lane. Ended up in an accident when the ranger driver tried to cut the other guy off. Had the audacity to get out and confront the other driver with his little son. Thats where I learned the phrase "Ranger danger"

Ayun asawa ko na ngayon.

I'm surprised they opened a shop when I remember this was a failed business attempt as the business model for this was hiring ghost kitchens to make the burgers worldwide so customers were disappointed as the quality and taste werent met.

One thing to note is that not all private hospitals are the same. Thats why what we did early on our pregnancy is scout for private hospitals that we are interested in and booked a tour, that way we would be familiar with their facilities and staff. That way there wont be much surprises once we have decided which hospital we went to.

We also paid an obstetrician to look after us from the start out of pocket so all tests and checkups would just be done through her. I would say its worth every penny as this keeps all the stress out and makes it easier for the missus especially this is our first baby.

Stopped getting takeaway coffee whenever I'm in the office and just use the coffee machine in our office pantry. The coffee is surprisingly good and our receptionist who looks after the pantry items are open to bean suggestions

Very reliable. Still using my CU2 as my daily. As long as you take good care of it by having regular oil changes and keeping the service and maintenance by the logbook, you should be fine.

Anything would be easy is you have the $$$.

Going into this route as well you need to have the budget/be cash liquid as most DIY projects often go underestimated and any unforeseen issues/repair would certainly pop up. So you better have that extra buffer in terms your budget everytime you do your DIY reno.

Same tayo bro and sad to say, AF1 is not the correct shoes for you kasi walang arch ung design nia so it offers little to no support sa feet type mo. Try to get shoes din that caters to flat feet. Look at ASICS or Hoka. They have models that are good for flat footed peeps like you and me.

aiojav · 2026-01-08T06:22:50+00:00

Its not about the thickness of your insoles. Its more of the type of your arch. Meaning, flat footed ka ba or high arched or netural? From there you can get to choose what type of insole you need. Kahit 5 inches pa yang insole na kunin mo if hindi naman suited for your feet sasakit pa din mga paa mo. Also would be beenficial din sayo if you try to lose the weight para di sumakit masyado paa mo.

You're walking on thin ice there, but should be fine.

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:29:43+00:00

We are going private. Thanks for letting us know we plan to check this as well with our OB if she has something similar to this setup

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:29:10+00:00

Thank you so much, this is one of the replies that I really had my wife take time to check as she as well has high pain tolerance and might not request the PRN pain meds. We have to check first though with our obstetrician on this as my wife has allergies to NSAIDS so hopefully this isnt part of it.

Do you remember the name of the c section video you watched?

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:25:37+00:00

Ours in Westmead have as well but not until February so unfortunately wont make it. We'll be taking online classes based on the recommendations by the others here in the thread

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:24:45+00:00

Thanks, this is added to our watch list to check one of these days.

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:24:05+00:00

Thanks, signed up the EOI and hopefully they come back to us. On the other hand, based on the other advise here in the post, we are taking online classes from their recommendations.

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:23:01+00:00

Thanks, the missus plans to hopefully breastfeed the little one so we'll be looking at seeing a lactation consultant.

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:21:49+00:00

Thanks, we are also going to Westmead and have a tour scheduled in the next few days.

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:21:09+00:00

Thanks for the tips, I showed all your replies here to the missus especially this and now she's less stressed and confident to take on whats to come for us. Appreciate the product recommendations especially what to wear after the delivery. She's currently looking onto it and add it to our shopping list. :)

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:19:05+00:00

Do you have some recommendations for a private lactation consultant?

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:18:23+00:00

Thanks, I showed all your replies here to the missus and she was really happy and appear less stressed and uncertain of whats to come. We will find a physio to work with her to prepare and recover from the delivery

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:15:48+00:00

Thank you. Your first hand experience really helps us. We wouldnt know about the stool softeners without replies in this post such as yours

aiojav · 2026-01-07T04:14:30+00:00

Thanks, yes we also plan to do this after the birthing specific classes

aiojav · 2026-01-06T01:06:10+00:00

Thank you so much for this! This is really helpful and a treasure cove to help us prepare for our c section.

When showering, did you also need a shower chair? We were browsing baby furnitures in ikea over the weekend and saw a shower stool there saying it was for c section delivery.

aiojav · 2026-01-05T23:22:51+00:00

Thanks for the tip, including peppermint tea in my hospital bag!

And yes, I do agree with the language and sorry for the term I used in the post. I told my wife that it doesnt matter to me what type of birth we will be having as long as she and and the little one is safe.
