I would like to have some maternity photos taken later in my pregnancy.  I've found some people online, but having a personal recommendation is always best!  I live in the South End of Boston but could travel if necessary.

Thanks!

 TIA!

thanks!

I was scheduled for IUI with injectables this cycle and come to find out my PCP will not approve a referral because it does not align with her religious beliefs.  Now, I am on the hunt for a PCP that will accept me and quickly write me a referral.  Any help would be appreciated!

 Thanks!

Curious to see how outrageous the preschool where I want to send my 3 yo DD is....

TIA!

Thanks

I saw a few posts around photographer recs.

Check out https://www.tspoonphotography.com/ for great maternity/family photography.  Tara is wonderful.  She was my wedding photographer www.hitchedstudios.com and has taken family pics for close friends.

Good luck!

Hi

My wife and I are expecting our first in september.  We did iui to concieve with anonomous donor sperm.  We used Alternative Insemination of Greater Boston which is part of the midwives of mt auburn and located in Arlington.  We were very happy with them.  It took us 3 tries and we know a couple that it worked on the first try.

On the insurance front.  Things are a little different then the pp have said.  It is true that there is mand coverage for infertility but if you are like us who had no diagnosed fertilty problems they do not cover until after 6 iuis.  I spoke to both my insur. and my wife's as we would have changed if one was better.  (harvard pilgrim and tufts)  I was told that of course I would be covered but if I was doing iui with donor sperm they require a special review and I would have to provide a sperm sample from my husband to verify that the reason we were using donor sperm was medical and logistical.  This is how they get around covering people with a blanket diagnosis of infertility.  Also donor sperm and sperm storage is never covered.

 Hope this helps

also over on the nest the same sex househould has a weekly ttc/pregnancy check in on wednesdays

Anyone have recommendations on pediatricians in Metrowest (Natick, Framingham, Wellesley, Weston, Wayland, etc.)? ?I'm looking for someone who spends time with their patients and provides good, practical advice.

Thanks!?

How is your research going???  

I tried looking on the internet, but of course all the nanny/daycare centers look great on the web.  Just looking for some good feedback about places.

TIA

So, any recommendations/feedback on South Shore Women's Health or South Shore Hospital.

 Thanks!

Can you recommend me to a good place that works will with infants (4 mths!)  that takes cute pictures with props

RSC: recommended to me by Mt Auburn where I've gotten initial bloodwork done. Great reputation, mildly inconvenient.

Boston IVF: preferred by my PCP, who matters b/c of my HMO but hasn't seen me for anything related to my ill-fated pg a year ago or anything since. Great rep, somewhat more convenient. Like they have the whole mind/body center they have.

MGH: Most convienant of the bunch.

Thanks in advance!

Can anyone recommend an OB in the general area? I am think about delivering at Newton-Wellsley or Brigham & Womens. I don't mind traveling a bit. TIA ?

Also, did your OB recommend seeing one when you found out it was twins, or did you decide to go on your own?

Thanks!

Jen?

Thanks!

 I am looking for recs of a female OBGYN in the Woburn/Burlington area.  I suppose she should be a high-risk Dr. , b/c a few weeks after the birth of my now baby, I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes.  Bedside manor and timely appts are HUGE pluses!!

 I used to go to NWH, but cannot make the commute there several times a week to see the Dr. for all of the additional appts and tests that go along with being diabetic and pregnant.

Thanks you SO MUCH!
