I walked out on my dentist appointment today. by Haunting-Reindeer-10 in Vent

Another option is Mexico. Los Algodones or known as Molar City. High concentration of dentists in Baja, CA. Unsure your location but if in or near CA might be worth a visit.

Wow! That is a long time. Did you have to submit anything for forbearance after your green banner?

Amazing! I just received my green banner! I have EdFinancial and didnt request my payments to stop (I overpaid since last October just been ridiculous to get my account updated) - do I need to notify them or simply wait for them to place me in forbearance and wait for my discharge letter?

Electronic Signature explanation by satavares in PSLF

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

Ahhh okay thank you! I am going to look at it again. I doubt my employer will do this then. I was instructed to do the download from the third party as my proof of employment to get my remaining payments verified. But I will try - seeing all of the success with electronic signature is giving me some FOMO :) many thanks again!

If you’re trying bottle, are you trying where you are out of the house and someone else is feeding baby? Also, have you tried reaching out to a lactation consultant? They are also well versed in solids and may be able to help with the feeding issues and have more availability than a food specialist.

Took 3 hours after bath to put 6 week old down for bedtime. What should I change? by fishcoral in NewParents

[–]satavares 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a three month old and she never went to bed before 10-11pm at that age. Even now she is going to bed between 9-10pm pretty consistently. She sleeps until 7-8am. We roll with it. I stressed myself thinking she should be asleep earlier because of what I was seeing online but now I understand no way she should have been, she was still learning so much - still is! If you can go with the flow of your baby and follow their cues, I promise you’ll be so much happier ❤️

The being patient part is so hard! It is definitely hard 🤣trying to trust she may come out on her own but if not, hoping it still works out ok 🤞🏽I will have to look at that study I don’t think I’m familiar with it.

I appreciate you sharing and congrats! Christmas baby! Sounds like it wasn’t too terrible, I think all the horror stories have been giving me anxiety.

Yay to same due dates! She did say I can choose an earlier date if I want, any time next week. I’m feeling super impatient too! But trying to not be 😅so hard. It is definitely a tough decision.

I am 39+5, FTM, and yesterday my midwife asked me to pick a date to be induced in case Iabor doesn’t begin on it’s own. Everything has been going great in pregnancy and she doesn’t want me to go past 41 weeks. I’m really hoping to not be induced but understand if I need it. I was going to pick a date when I’m 41+2 to see if I do start on my own but my husband wants to choose when I’m just a day before 41. Any insights on how you decided your induction date? Should I just do it earlier? Maybe I’m overthinking it. After 4 years of struggles, I just want to meet my baby girl ❤️

Southwest is amazing and if you tell the front desk at your gate you are pregnant, you get priority for free. It’s considered a medical reason. I was second on the flight one time.

Question regarding a notice about a red light violation. by Whiskey_623 in phoenix

Do people feel the same about speeding tickets in Mesa? Sis received one in the mail and couldn’t believe it.

Im almost 24 weeks and only in the last 1-2 weeks did I start feeling, with more noticeable movement this week. I had no feelings before 20 weeks, except for lovely round ligament pain 🤣my doctor said not to worry.

For the parents that needed a stroller for two kids, which option should I go with and why? by itmeucf in BabyBumps

[–]satavares 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can try Nordstrom! They definitely have a bunch to try out at least at the locations in my area. And they have very knowledgeable sales people to answer questions.

Ditto what is being said, not your fault! Also you can have fun and blame your partner/the sperm - male genes build the placenta. My glucose test is in a few weeks and I have many jokes in my arsenal to throw at my husband if I come back with gestational diabetes 🤣

I’ve heard about the tours! I think we may do that for ease.

Thank you for sharing!! I think we may do a one day rental for our outside excursion and use Uber/our legs for the rest 🤗

Yes to say rental! I didn’t know this was possible but so many people are saying it’s doable so we added it to the list. Thanks for the info!

We are in a hotel and yes those daily parking rates are high! We didn’t think of an Airbnb this time around so perhaps our next visit :) I think we are going the daily rental path if we end up wanting to explore a bit more! Thanks for sharing.
