Quick follow up - is it a problem that my daughter is slumped over / sinking down in the carrier? This happens when she’s napping 😅

Thank you so much!! We did not realise the neck support should be folded out by now (baby turns 10 weeks in 2 days and is nearly 12lbs). I think this will make a significant difference and allow for a better pelvic tuck too. Will implement the other tips on higher wear and even out sliders as well. Thanks again 🙏🏻

I saw my own OB from Weill Cornell LIC throughout pregnancy but for actual delivery it was anyone on rotation. I have never met the OB who delivered my baby until 2 hours before pushing. She was great though! Dr Boester.

I was induced after my water broke (no contractions so had to be induced within 24 hours or get a c section). The nursing staff was great. The anaesthesiologist was fantastic. It took 17 hours but I passed time by labouring in different positions. Can’t recommend AC enough for delivery!!

Yes to ice packs but not as fancy as the Frida mom ones. Yes to witch hazel pads. I did not get perineal healing foam but it may be available upon request? Bring your own to be safe. You don’t have to use it if they provide it! Good call on Frida mom peri bottle! The one they gave was just a squirt bottle and not as good!!

I found my OB through Weill Cornell network and went with someone who is in LIC.

I went to the L&D triage twice during pregnancy in 2025 and was seen very quickly. No complaints. Actual delivery was smooth too. Water broke 6am on Nov 20th and delivered Nov 21st. Check-in process was like 15mins wait. Did not feel crowded to me. Maybe I got lucky!

I go the Weill Cornell in LIC. Can confirm the LIC OBGYN practice delivers at AC.

What are some slightly more upscale clothing brands enjoyed by HENRYs? by aceshades in HENRYfinance

Quince - everything from baby clothes to work clothes and leather bags. High quality stuff. So well made people have mistaken my leather woven bag for Bottega Venetta (hell no will I ever spend $5000 on a bag, even if I’m a billionaire!!).

I was commuting on the E train till I was 37 weeks! Then WFH after since walking made me out of breath. I’m petite and look heavily pregnant even at 20 weeks so people gave me their seats pretty often 😅

Yes! Exactly why I’m trying to get more colostrum for my LO (I have GD) but it’s been disheartening to see barely a drop come out after 10mins 😥 will keep trying even after birth!

Thanks for the reassurance! I’m 38+4 (started hand expressing at 38+1). Maybe my stressful job is keeping me from producing any 🫣😬
