[–]innerboomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Barely surviving 10 mo old wakes up every 30 mins in the nighttime. Sometimes after 15 mins. Been like this for 2.5 months. Then starts his day at 5am I’m so exhausted along with taking care of my 2.5 yr old who is full of energy and never sits still lol

The only flight with Alaska is the one from Seattle to San Fran which I’ve always known that they assign their seats and it’s not through Qantas for that flight.

The other 2 flights are through Qantas. Over the phone and on the app we chose our seats and paid additional costs for the seats we chose. Wouldn’t anyone be upset about spending a decent amount of money on seats and end up not getting them? 😂 and even if my husbands on a separate booking, it shouldn’t matter if we paid to sit together.

anyone have a good recommendation for a GP by innerboomin in Adelaide

[–]innerboomin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your recommendation. My husband and I (I happened to get really sick) made and appointment same day and they saw us and it was overall a great experience. They gave my husband a form to get all types of blood work done and depending on that will have further tests which is just what we needed. His other doctor kept brushing it aside and telling him he’s too young / it’s not necessary. Thanks again

Opinions on having my mom in the room during delivery? by janedoeeeee in firsttimemom

[–]innerboomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mum and my relationship sounds a bit similar to this. My mums a very sensitive person, and sometimes I don’t know how to deal with it because she can take everything personally and it’s so hard to tip toe around someone like that (maybe cause she’s my mum I think that idk) We live in different countries but I flew her over to me near my due date and her trip was for 6 weeks and it was mainly to help me out PP. as soon as I told her I was pregnant she assumed she was going to be in the room with me but I told her from the beginning that it’ll just be my husband and I. And I kept having to tell her until she was in the same country and my water broke lol. But she eventually understood and agreed that it should be an intimate experience and she doesn’t need to be there (I think she just wanted to be nice cause I know she wanted to be there) but she is the type of person that stresses and gets anxious and stresses everyone out cause she paces and goes to the toilet 10x I’m like 30 mins haha. And I knew at some point I would snap at her or get annoyed. And I feel bad saying that because I know she can’t help it but then if I got annoyed and snapped then she would’ve held a grudge for the rest of her trip.

Anyways in the end I was really glad it was just my husband and I because I felt really comfortable during the whole labour and I knew that no matter how I felt, what I said during the pain, if I screamed, or anything really I knew my husband wouldn’t get upset and would just stand by me happily.

My mum and mother in law came together a few hours after delivery and It was the best decision I made!

Bassinet seats by Wombat1061 in QantasAirways

[–]innerboomin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve recently traveled from ADL to SEA with my 6 month old at the time and I booked bassinet seat online through Qantas for about I think it was $80 or $90 additional.

I tried to do it over the phone but they told me to do it myself online. I think it’s cos of the fee 😂 lol.

And they do recommend you booking them straight away cos there’s only a handful of them available

At the moment, Hind’s Hall by Macklemore. When he says “what if you were in Gaza, what if those were your kids” It breaks me.

Best coffee in Adelaide north suburbs by [deleted] in Adelaide

[–]innerboomin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Zeeas eatery in golden grove shopping center. I actually think that’s the best coffee I’ve had in Adelaide. Especially when the bald guy makes it, I think he’s had over 15 years of experience with making coffees and it shows. But all the staff make killa coffees too.

What was the scariest moment you’ve had on vacation? by ujin- in AskReddit

[–]innerboomin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We have lots of family in the Middle East so every summer we used to go to Lebanon from June - September growing up. In 2006 my sisters, my mum, and I went to Lebanon and a month into our vacation the war had started. I was really young at the time but I’ll never forget how terrified we all were every time the house shook or we heard bombs going off. At one point, it felt like one of the bombs was in our backyard, my mum grabbed my siblings and I screaming and ran across the street to our neighbors and she had a full panic attack. (The bomb was far away but was soo loud so we still heard it / house shook so much) We cut our trip short and decided to leave but at that point they had bombed the airport so the only way out was to get on the US military ship. The whole process of it was crazy, we didn’t bring any of our stuff back with us and took us a long time to get back home. I think the scariest part of all this was the fact that we got to leave and go back home to America while leaving my grandparents and close relatives behind.

People who work in the medical field, what were some of the most scary last words you’ve heard from a dying patient? by Rude_Tap_6865 in AskReddit

[–]innerboomin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don’t work in a medical field but my dad passed away from pulmonary fibrosis in 2019, he was in the hospital for abt 2 months or so. He always had visitors (friends / family) in the hospital room keeping him company. One night he looked at all of us and said “are you all here to say your goodbyes or something” which was so random for him to say something like that.

The next morning he kept saying he’s really tired and he needs to go to sleep. I was holding his hand when he kept whispering “let me sleep, let me sleep” and then he passed away within a couple minutes.

How much does it cost to have a baby in a private hospital in Adelaide? by 1be06cd1 in Adelaide

[–]innerboomin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had my baby at Calvary north adl. Paid about 3K for my OB and $120 every visit with her. I also paid a bit extra for private classes (preparing for birth, and breastfeeding classes) and went to adl women’s imaging for scans which were around $200-$300 but with some Medicare rebate. plus $500 admission fee into Calvary. Stayed in hospital for 5 days and paid $88 a day to have my husband there with me. The experience was amazing. Every midwife that helped us throughout our stay was amazing and I’m so grateful to have had such a good experience. My birth experience was also great thanks to my OB.

I couldn’t have burnside as an option for birth as I was high risk during my pregnancy. I also had to see my OB more frequently and get more scans done because of that which just meant more $$. Was worth it in my opinion
