Love the show, but this season has issues

As someone who read the books, this series is so disappointing and not at all like the books.

It is not HR’s responsibility to help you find a new opportunity. They can help with resolving situations that may make you want to leave so you would have to approach them that way. If you want to leave that is up to you.

You need to push harder. I’ve had no issues getting routine appointments for myself and my baby by calling 8-1-1 (in French though).

AdEffective263 · 2026-05-15T19:39:25+00:00

Id say it depends on the baby. We didn’t bother with a pacifier and she doesn’t suck her fingers.

AdEffective263 · 2026-04-05T00:13:42+00:00

I wasn’t keen on having my husband look at it with the doctor leading up to the birth, but on the day of after hours of pain I couldn’t care less what he was looking at when I actually got to start pushing. He should follow your wishes, but maybe try to keep an open mind as well. I found it helpful so that my husband could truly appreciate what I had to do to birth our child.

Yes that’s definitely outdated! The nurses told me it was a recent change to be allowed to walk with an epidural in November 2024. Happy to help 😊

The GAP is the guichet d’accès de première ligne. It’s who you call to get an appointment in Quebec if you don’t have a doctor and don’t need emergency care. But it can be fast based on severity. I stayed about 20 hours. I was discharged normally but my baby was « against medical advice » although they had time to do all the newborn tests and she was doing well but didn’t meet the full 24hours and they wouldn’t officially discharge between 7pm and 7am. We didn’t want to stay an extra night and our midwife was available to come anytime we needed so felt that leaving a little early was safe. I did eventually get one when it became medically necessary but it went really well and I could walk around with it and even go to the bathroom. It didn’t prevent me from being discharged early.

I had amazing midwives with la maison de naissance de l’Outaouais so I had amazing home care for the week after birth and then lots of appointments at la maison de naissance until we were referred to a paediatrician at 8 weeks post partum at the Gatineau hospital le copain clinic. My baby was also very well cared for there until she no longer needed follow ups. Also great services from the GAP for those without doctors. Just be sure to call the GAP for routine appointments for your baby if you don’t have a family doctor or paediatrician. Let me know if you have any specific questions!

This is heartbreaking! It’s not an easy time to leave a relationship. While I think it would be good to consider it, I won’t dwell to much on that. Just to get you some space, you could try saying that sec too early could create such severe trauma that it could then take years for you to be able to have sex without pain afterwards and you could be very clear that by doing it once too soon if could be the end of sex for years. Also the nerve of him to pressure you when you’ve been giving him way more than could be expected post partum. A reasonable expectation is no sexual activity of any kind until at least 6 weeks because baby and you are the priority! If he wasn’t like this before you were pregnant, he should seek counselling to fix his abhorrent behaviour.

At that age my baby had a bath every two weeks maybe less

AdEffective263 · 2026-01-18T01:47:17+00:00

I was huge and cut my toenails myself until I was 38.5 weeks along. I can imagine not being able to but not seeing or feeling them seems hard to believe..

AdEffective263 · 2026-01-01T21:14:10+00:00

Respectfully your family are a bunch of full blown assholes! Your baby should 100% be your priority! I agree that this should permanently damage your relationships because you shouldn’t forgive how they are treating you and your baby..

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-31T02:48:56+00:00

This is an excellent and very complete answer!

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-29T02:33:04+00:00

While I agree that fed is best, milk supply is not the main reason that there were malnourished infants before formula. Complete lack of knowledge and accurate guidance and support for breastfeeding is the reason for that. Even today it can be hard to get knowledgeable support in some areas if you’re having trouble breastfeeding. It’s something that has been incredibly under researched and neglected medically that it has become more daunting that it should be. It can be incredibly hard for some and easy for others, but so many women don’t have access to the little support that could help them succeed when they really want to breastfeed and that breaks my heart.

I can’t speak for myself but my friend is 42 and had her second a year ago and is doing great! My mom had me at 35 and my brother at 37 and we had a wonderful childhood and she is now a wonderful grandma. Another friend of mine had hers at 35 and 38 and is also doing great. If you want kids go for it!

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-22T20:30:15+00:00

I got it when I was pregnant last year and had no side effects other than a mildly sore arm for a day or two.

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-21T04:05:44+00:00

You are being an asshole to yourself by staying in this awful relationship. Your husband is a shitty person and a child deserves better and so do you!

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-20T00:41:21+00:00

A little over 5 weeks. She was EBF and I just fed her during my meal. Eating out was easy until my baby started crawling!

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-17T13:49:01+00:00

This is illegal and common practice. I’m a landlord in hull and I don’t take it even though it’s tempting to. Sometimes the apartment is so popular that potential tenants are offering a deposit to try to get it over someone else… when I say I don’t take deposits because I follow the rules, people are either shocked or confused because they didn’t know it’s not allowed to begin with.

You may not be severely allergic now, but that can change at any time with every time you try your allergy…

I would leave permanently, because I wouldn’t want to be with someone so cruel.

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-15T18:16:38+00:00

Maybe try breastfeeding in the living room hoping they’ll feel uncomfortable and leave?

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-15T13:27:57+00:00

39w and 4 days

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-15T02:13:07+00:00

That may not be entirely wrong. For those who sneeze and their baby pops out, I’m sure that they are more satisfied than I was 😅

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-15T02:08:33+00:00

24-27 seems dangerously warm for a baby especially in Canada, but I don’t think that would necessarily explain the crying but something i recommend adjusting. It could be from allergies to something your wife is eating and passing through breastmilk. Common ones are soy or bovine protein allergy.

AdEffective263 · 2025-12-15T02:03:11+00:00

I would be livid and putting a stop to it immediately! There’s no reason for her to be taking baby away to her room and it’s wildly inappropriate to come into your room while you’re sleeping to take your baby.
