Oh! I’m intrigued, thanks!

Yes! Right on Main Street!

Surf in Nashua or Portsmouth - delicious!

Yea, no thanks

Ooof. That’s a bold statement.

Yup! I saw some there over the weekend!

Not sure where you are but this is the worst snowstorm we’ve seen this season where I am…it’s absolutely dumping in the Worcester hills with multiple power outages already. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Congrats! Not sure where you’re located in NH, but look up The Pink Cloud Connect on Facebook. They post local meetups that are usually in the Chelmsford/Lowell, MA area. They also do a big soberfest once a year that seems like a good time! The founders email is listed on the fb page and she may be able to help you find places!

I’m kicking myself for not switching to geico sooner. My car insurance went from over $1200/year with Safety to just under $600 with Geico - with all the same safety coverage. For reference I’m mid 30s, never been in an accident and have a 2021 Jeep.

Groton, Dunstable area

It’s good for 5 years and then can be extended once for another 5 years - so 10 total!

Just gonna piggy back this, for how often you have appts toward the end of your pregnancy (sometimes multiple times a week!) go somewhere you’ll feel comfortable driving to often! And driving to quickly yet safely, if in labor!

Womens care of Nashua, their office is literally right next door to the hospital and so easy to get to! my ob was dr Melissa martinez. She was amazing! I really liked that I could use any lab in the SNH network, depending on where I was in Nashua. Sometimes I used the main lab, other times I used the lab down 101a by home goods and big lots!

ETA: I also really liked that their ultrasounds and Non-Stress Tests were done in the same office, right down the hall. It was nice to not have to go to different places all over the hospital for that.

I do! I was induced for various reasons and the most painful part of that for me, was the Foley catheter during the induction and they were great with giving me what I needed for pain management with that. Once my water broke and I was officially in labor, I was able to ask for my epidural pretty quickly and gave birth within 4 hours. I declined any pain medication after the factor so I can’t speak to that. I will say, SNH is a teaching hospital and has nursing students in/out so if you’re not comfortable with that it is something to know and be aware of.

I gave birth at SNH and although I didn’t get my Ob, I never even saw the on call dr. The nurses and midwife delivered and everything was great. I really loved the resident, I can’t recall her name through. Everyone I had really listened to my wants and needs for the delivery and I didn’t just feel like a number there.

My husband went through something similar. Talk to your HR dept and see if they approved it on their end and if they’re able to see if you’ve earned enough $$ so far. My husband applied in February for the birth of our daughter in March, but he had just started his new job in January. His previous employer was in Nh so he hadn’t earned enough $$ in MA yet. His employer was able to tell him how much he needed to earn until the state would approve it. He decided to withdraw his application until he made that much and reapplied in July. He successfully took 12 weeks off for family Bonding starting in September and just went back this week. They make it so difficult, but don’t give up!

They may be expensive but their shit is farrrrrr superior.
