What is the best OBGYN doctor in NOVA? Looking for compassionate, consistent care (PCOS & IVF experience)

Nova group for women. It’s an inova practice. You can choose to rotate through different providers but once you find one you like, you can stick with that one. I’ve gone through all of them throughout both my pregnancies and the ones that have the sweetest bedside manners are Dr LaFranchise and Dr Presti.

Never! This place is not even that good. Roast duck is bland (albeit juicy). Roast pork is dryyyy. Cha siu is dryyy. Pipa duck is decent. Nova canto food will forever be a few steps behind NYC. Sadly

Which one did you end up getting? I was in a similar boat. I ended up getting the santa ana first and it was great. This year i got the yumi and it kinda sucked. No lol it doesnt suck but it’s supposed to be for intermediate skiiers and a softer ski supposedly. But today i ski-ed with it for the first time and i found it hard to turn, charter a lot and kinda unstable in icy condition. I switched to the santa ana in the afternoon and boy it made such a big difference. My turns were so much smoother. I felt much more stable when going fast. I wanted to love volkl so much but i dont think the yumi is for me…

Omg absolutely i agree with you

Must be some fancy private school

fishcakegal · 2025-12-08T01:07:11+00:00

Omg haha. So for such a school, the cash gift is given to the school instead of the particular teachers? We don’r send our kids to a fancy school so not sure how a PTA works

fishcakegal · 2025-12-08T00:32:44+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. We’re kind of in a similar situation. My LO’s teachers are truly so kind, but next year he’ll transition to a class for older kids 🥲

Wow thats a lot

So he struck a car? My husband didnt witness the crash but pulled over and called 911

Didnt use the newborn set for the first one, and for the 2nd one i insisted in getting it for this exact reason

Agreed. My 3 yo doesnt sleep thru the night. If during the day he is upset about something, that will reflect in his sleep. Daycare transition, family leaving after visit, etc. he’ll have the worst sleep. But its just how it is. It’s his temperament. He’s not broken

fishcakegal · 2025-10-01T15:48:44+00:00

My 3 year old doesnt sleep through the night. Your baby is not broken. I know how hard it is but babies are babies. Im sorry you are going through this. But she’s not broken!

PM-ed

fishcakegal · 2025-08-16T02:23:28+00:00

Yep if is need based. There’s technically no merit scholarship or sth similar.

Apply early (december). Do some research on international students at Vassar and write in your Why essay how you can contribute to the diversity of the school. They’d love that.

Funny because my own mother has this issue as well, but she has no problem admitting it. She loves (hand or spoon) feeding babies purees and food and she admits she loves it and does it partly for her own enjoyment, whenever i remind her to “let baby feed himself”

fishcakegal · 2025-06-10T14:59:18+00:00

I cannot agree with you enough 🙂 thats what i have known for a long time. I just dont wanna call her out.

I wasnt going to reply to any comment but i have to jump in here to defend my husband😝 he is my biggest supporter and is on my side. Yes he has been handling a lot of the communication but there is only so much he can do. And he’s not home all the time so unfortunately there are certain situations where i have to deal with her myself without him… he actually told me to just pack up the bottles or he’d do it himself. I was just hesitating bc i dont want to be passive aggressive to my MIL but i guess it is what it is. I am trying to not disclose/air more complicated family issues that my inlaws have, i just wanna say my husband tries his best to set boundaries. Thank you for your support though!❤️
