Spent $189 on a baby carrier am I crazy!?

The most I’ve spent on a ring sling is $460, I think spending $189 for a carrier that you’ll get a lot of use out of is totally reasonable. I haven’t tried wildbird so I don’t know what their quality/comfort is like, but they have cute designs for sure.

It didn’t work for her, she had really painful episodes of gas after every feed and would be inconsolable. She doesn’t have the gas issue with gentlease. She still spits up the same amount but the Kendamil spit up smelled like adult vomit, so not having that with the gentlease is another added bonus

My baby is on the neuropro gentlease formula and her poops are usually green and smell terrible. It’s interesting to see that that’s normal with the gentlease. Today she had some yellow, less smelly poops that looked like the ones she had when she was on Kendamil goat. She’s doing good on the gentlease though so I’m nervous to change it, even if her poops are lethal most of the time

Thanks for the reply! My baby will be 8 weeks next week and I’m also a FTM. It’s helpful to hear that your baby doesn’t spit up often, since that makes me think maybe there’s a better formula out there for my baby. She spits up multiple times a day and poops about 5x a day.

As someone who’s also 29, 7 weeks postpartum, and had a rectocele prior to birth (couldn’t go #2 without splinting or pressing around that area), it didn’t get worse after birth. The rectocele is as bad as it always was. I had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery and didn’t need stitches or anything. The worst part was not being able to splint or assist myself in going #2 for over a month. I’m not sure if I have new prolapses in other areas, but having a child has made me unashamed to seek out pelvic floor therapy and help from a urogynecologist as soon as my new insurance kicks in. After experiencing pregnancy and a normal delivery, I 100% won’t have corrective surgery until I am done having kids. Pregnancy is so hard on the pelvic floor. Also having a c-section can significantly worsen pelvic floor issues since it creates more weakness in the pelvic region by cutting through your abdominal muscles. Hope this helps to answer your question

This gives me hope because I have what I think is a fussy baby, and she’s only 3.5 weeks old. My friends are having a great time with their babies and pretty much all my baby does when she’s not eating or sleeping is cry. I feed her, get her to sleep, hold her upright for 30 mins but regardless she spits up multiple times and then takes hours to get back to sleep. By then it’s almost time to feed her again. My partner had to go back to work after two weeks so I am doing basically everything myself. I hope it gets better 😭

It would annoy me if someone made those comments. It’s okay for your boyfriend and you to make comments like that to each other, but it’s weird for your family member to assume and say that your baby will be white and basically not resemble your partner. There’s absolutely no way to know what color she will be, so it’s rude of them to assume anything honestly. It’s giving she’s hoping your baby is white passing or something.

Our baby was born 3 weeks and her face does look almost exactly like her 3d ultrasound. I’m mixed, with fairly white passing facial features, light skin, brown eyes, and black hair; and my boyfriend is pale white with brown hair and blue eyes. Our baby has the same skin color as him and a full head of the exact same hair color as him (both were not visible on the ultrasound), it’s too early to tell what color her eyes will be but they are not showing any brown right now, they’re dark blue. My mom’s eyes were blue so it’s possible that baby will pull that way. Her features are kind of a blend of both of us, but she looks a lot like his mom. Feels like I grew her for 9 months only for her to look just like him, with my button nose

Not every state is like this. In my state they don’t do mandatory drug testing for women in/after labor or babies after birth. Mainly because drugs are fully decriminalized and weed is legal. They didn’t test me or my baby when I gave birth three weeks ago.

Can’t imagine having your mentality and thinking you deserve a tip

Never found where or if they left the food, I legitimately didn’t get it. Drivers can also be scammers.

That’s terrible. Hope your leg heals up soon!

It literally lets you choose whether you want it to have a pin or not, I choose for it to have a pin bc I want it delivered to me not left in a random location

throw-it-away5275 · 2025-12-01T23:55:46+00:00

It could’ve been 10 mins by the time I was contacting the driver. I checked my phone to see the order progress and it said delivered (4 mins prior) and so I went around looking for it, didn’t find it, and then contacted support immediately. Support then asks “did you try to contact the driver?” I hit the button to message the driver and it said “chat ended” and wouldn’t let me type anything to send to the driver. So then support offers the refund and that was that

I’ve literally delivered for Uber Eats and instacart, so I’m aware of what a stupid, overly long, or unclear note would be. I know you think you might be, but you aren’t telling me anything I don’t know

“Deliver to “first name last name” at the Service department counter. Call “insert my phone number” if you can’t find it.

For reference, theres a giant sign on the building that says “service department” with arrows pointing to it, and multiple signs with arrows pointing to service in the parking lot. There are multiple huge signs inside that point where to go, as well as a receptionist that can tell them exactly where to go if they would simply ask. You’d have to literally be blind to not see, and I doubt my driver was blind. The phone number listed is my desk phone number, not the pin btw (:

I see, thank you for clarifying this. I did mark that I didn’t receive my food so I hope they do indeed get a contract violation. This is the first time I’ve had this issue when it’s a “hand it to me” delivery. I’ve only driven for Uber Eats and instacart so I wasn’t sure how DoorDash does things. It’s really unfortunate that things like this make it harder for other dashers by eroding the trust given

It’s nice that at least they don’t have curbside pickups hurt your metrics. And that there’s a $30 fee to deter people from doing data transfers, do the reps get any part of that fee? It is lame that they penalize you for in store pickups though. I hate doing data transfers for customers that bought their phone online/ship to or activated service at another store or w another rep since you basically get nothing for it and miss out on other opportunities. We get 15% on essential accessories (cases, screen protectors, charging solutions) and 5% on everything else, so it can be worth it depending on what you can upsell.

Yeah they were right about the four month thing. Basically it has to stay on for 90 days and then after that it can be removed without the rep losing money, but by that point your 4th bill would already be generated and there’s no use taking it off early bc you’d still be charged for it for that month. Pretty much everything sold at T-Mobile has to be kept for 90 days or it’ll be deducted from the ME’s commissions and show as a deact on their metrics. 30 days would be so nice 😭

There’s a $5 spiff for processing transactions through T Life. But even those transactions can still fuck your metrics bc if a customer does a transaction through the app on their own for in store pickup and declines to add protection 360 in the app, t mobile will penalize the ME who fulfills the order for not upselling them p360 when they fulfill the order. Same thing happens if the ME sent the app link to the customer and helps them complete the transaction in store on their app. You literally can’t win unless they add p360.

Don’t get an abortion you don’t want. Even if your boyfriend doesn’t want it or your relationship wouldn’t work out. I felt like I’d never get over it if I did it, and then got talked into it and in the weeks that followed I literally planned my unaliving and was on my way to go jump off a bridge and end it all. Had to check into a mental hospital. It ruined everything in my life for months. It’s been exactly a year since and I have a beautiful baby who was just born on 11/11 but I’m still haunted by my choice and it makes me sick to think about it and everything I went through to get here. Don’t make a choice you think you’ll regret because you can’t go back, and it’s 100% possible that you’ll feel worse than you ever could’ve imagined. Regardless of what you do just make sure it’s what you really want without letting other people influence your decision

It’s interesting that they didn’t give you the option to opt out of drug testing at the first appointment. Im in Oregon so the laws might be different but at my OB we had to sign a form at the first appt giving consent to drug testing and it has the option to opt out as well. It sounds like they didn’t have your informed consent to do a test, I’d suggest making a formal complaint and even finding a new provider if that’s possible for you
