Has cbackson had her baby yet? I haven’t seen anything but I’m not here everyday.
Has anyone had breast implants who is willing to share you experience, cost, and whether you would do it again? I’m not looking for a huge change but after breastfeeding two kids and having some asymmetry, I am seriously considering it. I have a consultation with a highly recommended surgeon next week. Part of me feels like it is silly to spend this amount of $$ on vanity, but I’ve been thinking about it for some time.
Looking for advice for eliminating gluten from my child’s diet. Our family has never had dietary restrictions, but due to a recent severe bout of eczema, we’re desperate for try anything that might help. I want the whole family to follow the diet so child does not feel left out. Please share your favorite products, recipes, and tips to make the experience as easy as possible.
Good morning, first time here as I am 7 weeks (and 1 day) pregnant after a long infertility journey (yay!) I’m hoping to tap the wisdom and experience of y’all. I had an IUI, so we know my cycle dates pretty well and at my ultrasound yesterday, the baby was measuring a little small (4 days behind – I was 7 weeks and baby measured 6w3d). The doctor/reproductive endocrinologist did not say it was doomsday and had seen babies measuring further behind turn out totally fine but I think did want me to be aware that there are always risks. I have another ultrasound next week with another doctor in the practice (which I like because it will offer more perspectives), but until then I’m worrying but trying to be optimistic and encourage this baby to grow! Has anyone had a smaller measuring baby that turned out fine?
PSA: you can buy a 5-pack of reusable cloth masks with ties around the head from The Reformation in L.A. and they ship SAME DAY. Plus, in July they are donating a mask for every mask purchased. You can also donate directly on their site.
I bought a bunch of multi-packs yesterday to try out a few different brands/fits, and this one shipped within hours.
I posted this on the general corporette site before realizing I should’ve asked here first! I just found out I’m pregnant and am a little confused on how to go about finding a good OBGYN. I live in NYC, none of my close friends have kids, and I don’t want to ask colleagues. I’ve been told to first figure out which hospital I want to deliver at, then find the doctors affiliated with that hospital…but have no idea how to evaluate which hospital is better. Would appreciate any recommendations, first hand experiences, or just general tips as I’m pretty overwhelmed. Thanks in advance!
