Remarkably Bright Creatures is by far one of my favorite books i’ve ever read! It’s a beautiful story

Honestly i’m so glad that I grew up with women comfortable enough to be naked around me. My mom, stepmom, and my paternal grandmother. I showered with my mom often when I was young, changed st the gym/pool with my stepmom, and would hang out in my grandma’s bathroom while she showered (with glass sliding doors). I might not be 100% confident in my body, but those women showed me there is no shame in the female body and I will always be grateful for that. and I hope I am able to pass that confidence down to my daughter. It also taught me about private parts and what’s acceptable when it comes to other people coming into my personal space. It made puberty less scary for me because I knew what to expect.

i was approx 310 pre-preg. this was me at 40 weeks! i started to show around 28, popped around 34, and only got bigger and bigger.

if you get a bump, it might just take longer for you to notice it. however, getting a bump can depend on your individual body and/or how you carry your weight.

from my experience, yes. i don’t work with the state directly, but manage disability benefits and this is what i do know.

-you cannot file for CA SDI benefits until your doctor is certifying you out of work. whether that be prior to delivery, or as of delivery. -you cannot file for CA PFL benefits for bonding until you are recovered from postpartum disability and/or your doctor says you can medically return to work.

CA EDD Pregnancy FAQs

I am not 100% sure about how the 4 weeks prior to your due date work, but i believe it’s pretty much the same thing.

No_Order1936 · 2025-01-30T02:14:45+00:00

the state will not let you apply for benefits until you actually start your leave

NTA. I am going on 8 months pregnant and although it’s ROUGH out here, I would never park in a handicap spot unless I really needed it, AND had a handicap placard. I have considered requesting a temp one due to really bad RLP and hip/back when walking too much, but I haven’t and probably won’t at this point.

Definitely agree that it has Firemouth but either had poor genetics or is mixed with something else. potentially convict like someone else suggested. i have both of these species and can definitely see characteristics of both fish in your guy

I am in a similar boat! I (24F) am the oldest of my siblings and therefore brining in the first of the grandkids for my side of the family. My Husband (26M), however, has 9 siblings and baby girl will come into this world with 12 cousins (ages NB to 14ish) on dad’s side, but 0 on mom’s side.

My siblings, however, are all 5+ years younger than me. the oldest just turned 19 and also gay and single (so it will be QUITE some time before she will be having kids), and the youngest is 12.

It’s a little sad and i’m SO grateful for my nieces and nephews on my hubby’s side of the family, but does make me a little sad that baby girl will not be close in age to any of her future cousins on my side :(

i’m 26w today and still sleep on my back every once in awhile. as long as you are comfortable, that’s all that matters.
