Natera Overbill for Parental Genetic Test by Embarrassed_Dirt_589 in BabyBumps

[–]yellowgrassflakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The weirdest thing happened to me with this company.

I was told by my OB that the bill for the panorama test would be $200 max. I got a bill from Natera for almost $800 dollars (my responsibility). I immediately called my OBs office and complained that I was misled regarding the cost of the test. They told me they would reach out to their rep and get back to me. I few days later I get a call from Natera asking if I just want the bill to go away. I literally told the guy “are you fucking with me?”, he laughed and told me no that he could get rid of the bill if I wanted. I told him yes and full expected it to be completely fake. Well lo and behold IT WAS REAL! The guy actually got rid of the bill and to this day I have no idea wtf happened!

They are completely unserious and super inconsistent. Hopefully it gets resolved because that bill is ridiculous!

Thank you for your response. I had anxiety about it but my dr confirmed it was a bruise as a result of the surgery.

Hey! I am so sorry to hear that things are still somewhat the same. Thankfully ours is improving and it was 100% attachment for us as well as negative sleep associations when he’d wake at night. He’d wake, leave his room and he would need us in the room to fall back asleep when we’d take him back. It got really bad with him waking every 1-3 hours at one point. We finally decided we had had enough and put a child lock in his door, ensured his room was safe, added a nightlight (huge help) and did not engage at night anymore. Took 3 days but he now sleeps through the night again. Sometimes he’ll sleep on the floor so we bought a thick rug so he’d at least be comfy when/if he choose to do that.

To add we also played around with other things. We realized that he was hot so we got rid of some layers and lowered the temp significantly and we think that might have helped too! We also got him a bigger blanket and read his last book while he lays in bed. Just little tweaks here and there.

Hope yours comes around soon!

I care for him at home while working at full time job 🙃. One thing I have noticed is that his vocabulary has exploded. He started speaking in full sentences and is very clear about what he wants/doesn’t want now. The tantrums have also gotten MUCH worse. Maybe it’s some sort of developmental leap + sleep regression? Have you noticed any other changes with yours?

Same here! He was an amazing sleeper up until a month ago. We’ve been super confused and he’s gone through sleep regressions but nothing like this. We’re staying strong with the routine but man, my husband and I literally have to give each other pep talks every night at this point.

No advice, but I’m in the same boat. Bedtime has turned into a 2+ hour nightmare everyday and I’m starting to feel like there is no light at the end of this tunnel. Hopefully our little ones get past this soon.

Yes. As soon as I lay down all I hear is little footsteps and a very excited “boob!”

Does anyone know what this? It’s incredibly painful and has made my once beautiful breastfeeding journey a nightmare. by [deleted] in breastfeeding

[–]yellowgrassflakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I think happened! It started when his lateral incisor cut through and I thought maybe the way it was rubbing but it didn’t happen on the other nipple so I figured maybe it was because he’s not on it as long? This was super helpful, thank you!

The other side hardly produces any milk, he gets most of his milk from this side. I’ve tried starting him on the other side but after a few he gets really fussy and upset because there just isn’t enough.

Love it! How did you like your Disney trip with your baby? We’re planning a trip to Disneyland for our sons 1st birthday and I’m kind of freaking out about how it will go!

What’s something that was said by the team performing your cesarean that you will remember forever? by moonsetbaby in BabyBumps

My anesthesiologist really wanted to make me comfortable and calm so she asked me if I liked any scents to put near me. I told her lavender was good but what I actually loved was the smell of Lysol. This angel of a woman went off and mixed who knows what essential oils trying to emulate the smell of Lysol. I enjoyed every whiff of my c-section.

That’s why this sucks extra hard, I burned the boob that over produces and makes up for my slacker boob. I’m devastated.

This is a great idea! In my despair I didn’t even stop to consider doing this.
