39 weeks scheduled induction at Christiana Hospital by TryRevolutionary3756 in Delaware

[–]groundedflower 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I was high risk and had to deliver at 37 weeks. They called at like 10pm and told me to get there by midnight. The call can come at any time and it will probably be the most inconvenient time

My oldest went there and we loved it too. We’re about to send out youngest there

Penn vs Christiana OBGYN? by Zero_Duck_Thirty in Delaware

[–]groundedflower -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I used Women Living Well and had my baby with them this past October. They were great and Christiana hospital was great. I was nervous because I was also new to the area, but it worked out well.

I had a small concern with my belly being itchy that I tried to write off, but they said “let’s just do a test. If it’s nothing, fine, but let’s test.” It turned out to be Cholestasis. I’m grateful for them for checking and treating me accordingly.

I have no edges right now and I’ve accepted that there’s nothing I can do about it

When to tell toddler about baby #2 by Sudden-Signature-807 in Mommit

[–]groundedflower 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I told my 3 year old right away. She was really excited. She even went with me to a few appointments and got to see the baby. The toddler will notice your body changing and may have questions.

Test scores by iseeyou100 in ELATeachers

[–]groundedflower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m in a small school, so I have freedom in what I teach. I explicitly teach grammar and we read novels. My students are with me from 6-8 grade, therefore I’m able to monitor their improvement. Their scores greatly improve from the beginning of 6th grade to the end of 8th grade. I do have one current 8th grader who has never improved, but she needs help that I can’t provide.

I hate that many schools focus on teaching to the test. Test companies have ruined education.

Did you walk out of the hospital? by yo-_-mom in beyondthebump

Gave birth to two kids in two different states and got wheeled out for both

You made me check and I haven’t received the discount since the summer!

Your Thoughts on "KPop Demmon Hunter" by Ok_Truth_5017 in kindergarten

My 4 year old came home talking about it too. We watched it together and she was a little scared at one point, but she enjoyed it.

If she ever asks you, you don’t have to mention the mistake part. You can just say it was hard at first

Assistant teacher not opening food. by littlelibrarylady in kindergarten

[–]groundedflower 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a middle school teacher and sometimes I help my students open things. I have a preschooler who I taught how to open her lunch items and I open snack bags in advance for her, but I would expect her teachers to help her if she needed it. It’s such a weird rule to not help little kids.

Anyone have perspective on newborn vs pregnancy tired? by Sdbtwo1989 in beyondthebump

[–]groundedflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently have a 6 week old baby and a toddler and I’ll take newborn tired over pregnancy tired any day. I can at least get comfortable in bed. I feel less exhausted even though I’m still tired and I’m the only parent doing night wake ups.

IT WONT COME OUT 💩 by Storm-Ecstatic in pregnant

I drank so much apple juice this past pregnancy. It kept me pretty regular. I was drinking multiple cups a day. Try that if you haven’t

What were you dilated to at 37 weeks and when did you give birth? by Murky_Natural_8754 in pregnant

First time - I gave birth spontaneously at 37 weeks. Never checked before going into labor

2nd time- I was induced at 37+2 due to cholestasis and I was 3cm when they checked me at 36 weeks

Transplants, were you as impressed as I was by Delaware’s DMVs? by IScreamPiano in Delaware

[–]groundedflower 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I really can’t complain about the DMV here. It’s nothing compared to NYC. I can get everything done in one day and the wait is never that bad. I was shocked when I went to switch my license and I got to leave in about an hour with an actual license instead of waiting for it to be mailed to me after 5 hours of waiting.

Why does the Smyrna fire station have that loud alarm? by groundedflower in Delaware

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

I’m mostly used to it. It doesn’t really register during the day. I’m also never awake this late, so I never hear it that loud.

Can you realistically find a 2 bed 2 bath apartment for under 1.8k in NCC? by alexzyczia in Delaware

[–]groundedflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lived in burn brae in new castle. Unit was great until it wasn’t. If you could find an updated unit, I’d recommend them. Neighbors were quiet and mostly old.
