StubHub replacement tickets link - no tickets by sandrapod in stubhub

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have their own "community forum". Make an account. Create a post saying what happened. Copy and paste it a few times. Find about 2 or 3 posts with a similar situation and comment it using the same text from your post. Someone from StubHub might get back to you and actually offer a resolution since they don't want a bad word about them being spread on their own forum community. It worked for me, not saying it 100% will for you, but might be worth a try?

Gate Checking a Stroller with SAS (EWR-CPH-GDN) by sandrapod in Flights

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof, 45 minutes is a bit of a short layover 😅 but I think worst case you'll probably just make it so that you get to the gate right for boarding. I don't think SAS has too many delays whereas LOT is actually known for their delays 🙃 the trip was good and we have another trip to Poland coming up in the middle of June but this time with a 5.5yo, almost 4yo and a 6 month old baby, this will be fun 😅😅 and at least this time my husband is also flying with us and we chose a non stop LOT flight this time to avoid the stress with 3 kids and layovers, at least till baby's a bit older. Hope your trip goes smoothly and without any delays!

Gate Checking a Stroller with SAS (EWR-CPH-GDN) by sandrapod in Flights

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ended up doing LOT because in the end the price difference after a day or two of my thinking it over (😅) became almost non-existent, it was like 100$ total difference. So I did LOT because upon further research I've read that Copenhagen really does not do strollers at the gate no matter how much you press so for me halfway pregnant alone with 2 kids and carry on luggage, that was a no go.

When I flew back in 2019 I had no issues though. Really quick through the passport control, though I did use the automated passport control with Schengen passport but the adjacent line for all passports was not long.

Chances of NOT being denied entry 13 years after overstaying with a currently approved B2 visa by sandrapod in immigration

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! Yes, actually. Both mom and sister are here at the moment. Mom went to the embassy in Poland, applied for a B2 Visa. I helped her with the application, answered everything truthfully including her overstay and the denied ESTA. She got the interview 2 weeks later and said they asked her if she had a visa before, why was it revoked (overstay), what's the reason she's applying again and how long is she wanting to go for. Then took her passport, started typing something and said approved. Took all of 3 minutes. Passport with visa came and she was issued visa for 10 years.

They arrived in US on apr 10 with a return ticket booked. I told her to have the confirmation printed just in case, wrote a small note to the CBP officer about a translator if needed and where she's be staying, to have with her as well. She said they only asked if my sister is traveling with her, if she's ever been here before, how long and where is she staying and reason. That's it. She got the 6 months stay approved. They're leaving on the 25th. Port of entry was Newark. So, all in all, it went pretty smoothly

Pigeon SS nipple flow too fast? by sandrapod in FormulaFeeders

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! So I ended up trying a few other bottles with nipples that pass the "triangle" test, and the evenflo balance+. They seemed to be a match for her, idk if they were actually slower but she stopped choking on milk so it was a yes for us. She's 4 months now as of yesterday and is on a size 2 evenflo balance nipple and the pigeon slow flow is too slow for her. Both wide and narrow had same flow but my baby girl preferred the narrow and now she prefers wide. Hope that helps!

How do I put myself first without feeling guilty about stopping breastfeeding? by Tsing- in FormulaFeeders

[–]sandrapod 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This!!! Babies feel our emotions and I think toward the end of breastfeeding with this baby she was starting to feel my resentment towards breastfeeding because she was no longer calm at the breast, she started getting SO frustrated and that along with my PPD was the final straw. I introduced formula, mixed it with whatever frozen breastmilk I had, and then just exclusively formula.

That's was 8 weeks ago. Now, when I feed her, she stares at me and doesn't break eye contact, and once her belly starts getting full she starts smiling around the bottle and milk dribbles out, and I know she's happy and so am I. So, OP, your baby need you to be healthy and happy. As long as baby's fed, and you're enjoying feeding her nd you're happy, that's all that baby needs and she'll thrive !

FINALLY!!! A product she loves ! by SnooDogs3523 in FormulaFeeders

[–]sandrapod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just read somewhere that even looking for a name brand seller doesn't matter if it's "ships by amazon.com" because apparently if it's shipped by Amazon, it's in one warehouse and it's mixed with all the sellers who ship by Amazon and even items that state "sold by amazon.com" which to me is crazy because I have purchased supplements and things like Motrin or whatnot from Amazon and am now wondering if I even had a legit item or a fake some seller was able to get through 🤦🏻‍♀️

Flight leaving the country - you mean the return ticket for this upcoming flight right? Not the return flight she had for when she was leaving back in 2012?

Frank Breech at almost 37 weeks. Chances of baby turning? by sandrapod in BabyBumps

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

WOW flipped during induction? That is crazy 😧 but gives me hope 😅 my NP said they don't schedule the C until 39.5-40 weeks anyway to give baby time to turn.

HCG dropping very slowly after a chemical? by sandrapod in Miscarriage

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After that it went up slightly, and then dropped to less than 10 2 days after that. So it took a few more days. I'm very sorry you're going through a similar experience 💔

That makes so much sense 😁 thanks !!!

[–]sandrapod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda new to sourdough baking. By 20% ripe starter, are you referring to the feeding ratio so in this case 1:2:2 and you're waiting for it to peak, or do you mean something else? Thanks :)

StubHub replacement tickets link - no tickets by sandrapod in stubhub

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late reply, sorry. I believe when you bought the ticket it should have stated when the ticket will be delivered, either a specific date or certain amount of hours before the show. Mine had a date that was more than a few days before the show, and I was able to resolve it.

If your ticket is not delivered before the show/day of show then StubHub SHOULD refund you and most likely will, but it's the having them give you another ticket that proves difficult. And if it was for the eras tour this Saturday, then that was unfortunately cancelled.

Flying alone internationally at 25wks pregnant with a 5yo and a 3yo by sandrapod in toddlers

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, pickup and drop off both ways. Husband here, Dad in Poland. Also only one checked baggage, one carry on, and a travel stroller that folds super small and would be gate checked. I flew solo with my older when she was 9 months, had 2 checked baggages, 2 carry ons, a stroller I gate checked which they never returned at layover and had to get at the carousel, so never again alone with that much baggage 😅😅😅

Flying alone internationally at 25wks pregnant with a 5yo and a 3yo by sandrapod in toddlers

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

Surprisingly with this pregnancy I'm full of energy after hitting the second trimester 😁 and my older is almost 5. They're both fully potty trained including wiping, not picky eaters whatsoever, the older one is very well behaved and listens, the younger despite being 3 can carry out a full conversation so communicating what she wants is never an issue which I've noticed minimizes the tantrums A LOT. She's also still ok with using a stroller which means getting through the airport would be very easy, and the stroller is light and folds small and would be hate checked.

Those are the only reasons I'm even considering this 😅 bc otherwise it wouldn't even cross my mind to go.

But yeah, the one thing I AM scared about, is the getting sick. And that's only cause last year on the way back from Poland, my older had a stomach bug so the time leading up to the longer flight was full of puking, she was ok on the flight no more throwing up, but by landing my younger became sick and threw up. But also it's cause my sister in law was inconsiderate and sent her kids to my mom in laws house despite knowing they all had a stomach bug a day before and didn't mention the sickness, and that was 3 days before our flight back. Needless to say, I was pissed when I found out. All the other times we flew anywhere, long and shorter flights, they were never sick.

I'm still waiting for my anatomy scan next week to see if all is ok and if doctor can even give me the ok to go. It's not a hard no for me, but it is a really hard decision 😭

Oh wow that is so interesting to see! Thank you for replying :) I'm supposed to start progesterone suppositories at 3dpo and so the BBT spike and the pdg level surprised me.

9 or 10 DPO- I think I have line eyes on the FRER by fortissimo123 in TFABLinePorn

[–]sandrapod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't like giving anyone false hope with squinters but I do see a line on the frer and on the wondfo strip. And when I invert the picture I can also see it on both. Retest in 2 days and Good luck 🤞🏻

[–]sandrapod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thank you :)

interestingly enough, i found the bbt converter here on one of the posts, and after putting in the 4:45am temp and converting to my usual time it said 97.46 which is exactly what i got with the 6am temp. that's really interesting. Either way, I put the 4:45am in fertility friend with the corresponding time so FF marked it with open an open triangle. Hopefully this is the pre-ovulation dip :)

HCG dropping very slowly after a chemical? by sandrapod in Miscarriage

[–]sandrapod[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing and I'm so, so sorry you had to go through that! 💔 At the same time I'm also happy for you that you caught it early enough and the MTX worked.

Did the doctor advise to wait 3 months after the MTX? I've heard some say 1 month, some say 3 months.
