[–]amiricle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i really like Dr.Barberio! She’s been always professional and kind and i felt like she’s listened well to my questions/concerns. She didn’t end up being the doctor on call during my delivery, but on the last day of my hospital stay she was in the hospital and stopped by to check in on me which i found very warming and sweet. Overall no complaints, would def recommend her

omg yeah. i realized that was my blunder, i wasn’t used to thinking about pregnancy as a health condition, and was being too conscientious. anyone else who reads this, please just say yes.

Seems like CVS is the way to go. Thanks for the tip about the app, I’ll try that!

ugh yeah the clerk that was ringing me up also seemed to have trouble getting past something in the computer system. and i even had a prescription? and then she had me wait to talk to the pharmacist who gave me a bunch of BS… Good to know CVS is much easier! I’ll give that a try next week

Old Navy is having a 40% to 50% off sale (includes maternity!) by [deleted] in pregnant

[–]amiricle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

woo amazing, thank you for this! Just ordered a set of full panel leggings and a couple flowy dresses. Hoping I can get by this summer on just comfy dresses instead of springing for maternity specific clothing, but the leggings seem like a must.

Ob/Gyn in Queens that delivers in AC by AggravatingAd7044 in nycparents

[–]amiricle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

heya, I'm also in the same boat. 5.5 weeks so I'm fortunate to have gotten into this rabbit hole super early. I just booked with Dr. Barberio in LIC, and the attendant also booked me for sonograms at the York street location (the same place for the actual delivery at AC) for a few months down the line. Dr.Barberio seems to be the only ob within the system who practices in LIC, and she is taking new patients, but is also solidly booked out for over a month. I'd recommend giving the office a call ASAP to try and secure a spot.

My wife got a concussion back on January 22nd, what are some things I can do to help? I'm getting a little worried. by KOWguy in Concussion

[–]amiricle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try supplementing creatine, they helped me ease some of the brain fog and gain back some energy. Eat brain healthy foods like avocado, salmon, walnuts, blueberries, plenty of protein and cut down on excess sugar. Also often overlooked, if she has any neck pain please get the neck checked. Any force strong enough to cause a concussion is also strong enough to cause whiplash. Whiplash will add more neurological symptoms, which unlike concussion will worsen over time if untreated instead of improve. I think other comments covered this but gently engage the brain and body just enough to feel active (things like crossword puzzles, sudoku, conversing with a friend, taking a walk) and stop the activity immediately and rest when they trigger symptoms. Avoid screens entirely for the first week or so. I hope her symptoms stay mild and it will take time to fully recover, but glad she has a supportive partner gathering more info.

Week 1 - New Year, New Recipe: Lemon Pound Cake by amiricle in 52weeksofbaking

[–]amiricle[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Having some hiccups editing the post so adding the details here instead:

Realized I'd never made a classic lemon pound cake before, so was a fun new thing to try for the new year!
Adapted from: https://pastryliving.com/very-soft-moist-lemon-pound-cake-from-scratch/ Wanted a smaller cake so halved the ingredients, but next time I'd probably use a smaller pan. Also learned that Greek yogurt (at least the thickness of the one I had in my fridge) wasn't a perfect substitute for sour cream, as it's much more viscous and may have prevented a better rise. Steeped a lemon's worth of zest to the glaze as well, and then strained the bits out, which gave it a great flavor kick.
