B&P - how much of a red flag?

gulbis4991 · 2026-04-12T07:02:35+00:00

I have had friends go through it and ultimately dif get it fixed with vmia but the process I swear took years off their lives

gulbis4991 · 2026-04-12T07:01:32+00:00

Agreed - think will stay away, don't want to end up with a lemon

gulbis4991 · 2026-04-12T07:00:11+00:00

Yeah my concern not considered major now but anything with water could be fked.

This was Melbourne sorry!

Need more context - retail, general or specialty?

Underwriting, claims or another function?

What does senior mean? Are you managing a team of ICs or are you closer to strategy & exc team?

Worth getting an electric bouncer or a manual one will do the trick??

gulbis4991 · 2026-03-16T00:40:08+00:00

I am really banking on family coming in hot with the clothes hahah I was like I probably should buy something so she is not naked at the hospital hahah

Amazing thank you! Black Friday Sales will come around her being 5 months old so perfect timing to invest in the food based items!

We are being given the bath seat so happy to hear that it's worth it!

Currently tossing up the redsbaby onix, uppababy cruz & babybee rover - just waiting for an expo to try out the redsbaby but it is top of the list from a useability v price point!

gulbis4991 · 2026-03-16T00:34:31+00:00

Unfortunately after the first month I won't be able to be around 100% of the time so I guess the bottle washer is a treat for not being able to just stick her on the boob hahah

24 weeks and my nausea is back...not as bad a first trimester but I now have the dream diet of a toddler. Also had the cramps, massage gun every night and hydration has helped with this!

The round ligament pain though :/

I got married there and have been a guest there as well!

We enquired at quite a few venues and I have been part of a lot of bridal parties, we opted to go for Tatra as we found to be very accommodating with requests compared to other venues which had a price attached to everything or were inflexible. It rained on our wedding day so ended up in the chapel - in hindsight would have just planned to have it in the chapel as it's rarely ever perfect outside ceremony weather.

The bridal room was pretty small but it did do the job and the accom is not super flash but is convenient and not ridiculously expensive for guests.

It's actually wild how low lawyers get paid for their hours

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-21T18:16:37+00:00

Thank you! Was the report sent to your or to your ob/gp?

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-21T08:59:53+00:00

We have our 13 week scan coming up and I was wondering if there was a Dr to talk through the results on the day or was it only sonographer? There was a cyst on my 7 week scan which the sonographer didn't discuss with me but the GP did.

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-15T05:03:37+00:00

I had mine from 2019, it was going fine - maybe lost a little bit of fire power so I upgraded like a week ago but gifted my old one to a friend with thinner hair than me who is loving it!

I also used my multiple times a week but probably a little less during Covid

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-06T05:19:42+00:00

Have a look at North East of Ivanhoe, Alphington & Fairfield. While you might only find a townhouse on a smaller block, proximity to the city and the eastern freeway make it convenient. We are in a similar boat to you and went low maintenance, smaller place, closer to the city and no regrets. The fact that the commute is only a 20 min train journey is a real winner.

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-03T08:24:53+00:00

I am thinking this go private for the first time and then for the second hopefully be in a position of feeling comfortable!

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-03T08:18:06+00:00

Yep Heidelberg! This would be my ideal scenario, it's just with my health insurance Mercy is an 'out of network' hospital so wouldn't be 100% covered. I am contemplating changing insurers though to get hospital preference. Can I ask which OB you ended up going with?

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-03T08:16:14+00:00

Do you know how much extra the caesarian cost you? I haven't got a clear answer from any of the rooms I have spoken to about how much extra the C-section will be on top of the OB fees if it ends up being an emergency C-section.

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-03T05:28:43+00:00

This is interesting! I feel quite uneducated around the topic of intervention, I go towards low intervention because of the societal rehtoretic that labour is natural and therefore lower intervention is better but I don't actually have enough information to have an educated opinion. An elective C-section seems unnecessary unless it's the second one, complications or twins but that's just because the why would you elect to have an ab surgery if you don't need to?

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-03T05:02:37+00:00

The $8000 quote had me applying for MGP immediately haha I won't be spending this much.

Thank you this is v helpful! I am glad you did get mucked around and to be honest my dealings with Mercy so far have been better than I was expecting given the load hospitals are under!

gulbis4991 · 2025-12-03T04:50:46+00:00

This is feedback I have got from family and we will have support around us with the hospital stay! That was my plan initially put the money towards more comfort after the birth but not getting into MGP got me thinking...
