Parent after 5 years of no contact is telling strangers they’re “confused” and “disappointed” that I’m somehow not in contact with them

I feel furious. No contact for 5+ years and they’re acting like nothing happened, and how “confused” they are. They know what missing missing reasons are, I sent them the link in my goodbye letter. They do this constantly, saying “this is just a misunderstanding, I don’t know why you’re so perplexing, it’s disturbing” and then turn around to act like this.

The reason I went no contact is I was screamed at and threatened, they said they hoped I failed and never wanted contact again until I came home. I’m an adult in my 30s.

LA Care called me and said insurance was terminated

Edit: it was a scam call, LA care said I’m fine and still have coverage

I had just called them this morning to send verification documents, and then I get an automated call saying my insurance benefits are terminated because I didn’t give documents. WTF? I’m 9 months pregnant!

Scared of induction, thinking of getting C-section

I’m plus size and just got diagnosed late with GD at 34 weeks (I had normal tests before). It’s mild, diet controlled and scans show no signs of GD yet. I’m 36 weeks and baby is 5.5 lbs right now.

However due to the diagnosis my doctors are now saying they will induce me if I go past 39 weeks. I wanted a natural birth and I’m worried I won’t get it.

I’m terrified of being induced. I have complex medical trauma, multiple surgeries (spine, gallbladder removed, total thyroidectomy etc) and hate hospitals, especially mean nurses and doctors who withhold pain medication. The idea of being induced for several days with no eating or sleeping is very traumatic. I’d rather just schedule the C section and get it over with.

Any advice? I deeply feel in my gut that an induction is a mistake for me, I feel ill labor for days and end up in an emergency c section anyway.

Hi neighbors, I am expecting a baby girl in a few weeks and I embroidered her a blanket, but I don’t know how to sew batting or backing. Looking at YouTube tutorials now but feeling intimidated.

If anybody wants to help me I’d bring all the materials and lunch as a thank you! Or if you know someone who does this for a living I’d love to have a reference!

Looks like I got it after all. I hope my doctor calls me ASAP, it’s weird my fasting and 3 hour were fine but 1 and 2 barely budged.

I’m also 36 weeks… passed the 1 hour at 16 weeks and doctors tested me late + lost my other results so it took weeks to retest.

Reference range
Fasting: 89 65-94
1 hour: 191 <180
2 hour: 185 <155
3 hour: 76 <140

Had the 3 hour glucose test yesterday after failing my second 1 hour by 3 points (first 1 hour test I passed at 16 weeks).

Husband got me food but I felt ill and wanted to go to bed instead. Asked him to put it in fridge so I could have it when I woke up.

It’s 4 am and I woke up hungry, see my leftovers on top of a very full trashcan 😡😭 not sure whether I’m mad or want to cry.
