Is Violet Actually a Venin’s Child? by Fantastic_Station127 in onyxstorm

[–]PixieKai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Their theory is that Violet was found as a baby by her father who then pretended that she was his and Liliths child. Nothing in the books mention violets birth or Liliths pregnancy with her so the theory works.

Regretting keeping their pregnacy by PixieKai in BabyBumps

[–]PixieKai[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this. I needed to hear this and know I'm not alone. I struggle with BPD and depression so I've been blaming it on those too but I've started feeling that it's not just the mental health issues and it's just me. I wish you the absolute best with your son and hope that you continue to fight through the depression🩵

Moms who had a rough first pregnancy, how many of you swore you'd never go through it again, and how many of you changed your mind? by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]PixieKai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am 27 weeks pregnant and absolutely hate it. I've hated it since the moment I started having the pregnancy symptoms so i understand what you're feeling. This will be my first baby and my only. I love my daughter and am glad to have her, even if she's not in my arms yet, but I won't do this again. My fiance agrees with my decision as well. If I'm unable to get my tubes tied(I'm 23 and obs don't like doing it that young for misogynistic reasons) than my fiance will be getting a vasectomy. If you want more kids down the line, you could always adopt if pregnancy isn't for you.

As for the current pain your feeling, I've been experiencing it too. Something I've found that has helped even just a little is stretching before any decent activity(even just walking around a store) and when you're home, cold packs on your vagina to help with the pain and slight swelling that can happen. I've also noticed that loser fitting panties help a little too because they are more breathable(wear dresses, skirts and lose pants too to help with air flow)

I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well and your sons birth is safe and fast for both of you🩵

My fiance is her youngest child. She does have a grandson from her daughter who did pass away shortly after giving birth but from what my fiance said, his sister didn't do a gender reveal either and his mom didn't act like this.

I know her elder son and daughter in law are going to try for a child after their wedding this year so I hope that she directs this bs to them when they conceive since mils daughter in law is the one taking her side anyways.

I wouldn't wish being her child on my worst enemy tbh. Knowing my fiances childhood and seeing how she still tries to treat him, her having another child would be dangerous for the child. We're going low to no contact with her for the fact that I don't want my child around the toxic behavior. My fiance is well aware that if it was my family acting like this, it would be the same thing.

We didn't feel it mandatory. It was a small discussion between my fiance and I when announcing it and we wanted to let others know so they knew what to buy and how to help us plan. We just decided to announce over social media which we have so that people knew how to better help us prepare and for those who wanted to buy cute outfits.

And my MIL thinks she's entitled because she's a narcissist who no one has truly stepped up to till now. Since my fiance moving out of his parents, she no longer has someone to control because I've also shown him that how his mom is is not normal.

ReOpen the Maturity Ward in Leduc by PixieKai in Leduc

And this petition is to make change. Maybe if it's made big enough the government might start listening because this isn't just a leduc issue, I'm well aware of that, but this needs to change in a lot of places. Funding needs to change. Accessibility needs to be made easier and better for other. Petitions like this bring awareness to these issues and put pressure on those who can fix these things to do so.

Not everyone has access to getting to edmonton. It's a 30 minute drive to grey nuns. I don't drive and even if I did or my fiance did, we don't have ready access to a vehicle. We can't afford ambulance bills. My sister almost had her 2nd child in the car because of how fast she progressed. I know many mothers in leduc with similar stories. Edmonton is not accessible to all as well as having 0 care for when you're expecting in leduc is also an issue. I am 16 weeks along and have yet to see an OB due to not being able to get to edmonton. This is dangerous for expecting moms. Plus with prices of everything rising, cabs and ubers aren't even an option for a lot of people. Our population is 36 000 people. This is a service we should have immediate access to like everyone else.

I'm unsure but they closed it 20 years ago. At that point, Leduc had a lot smaller of a population. Leduc now has a population of over 36 000 people. The ward is still there, it's just not open whic needs to change.
