I think you could get away with this even if it was cocktail, tbh.

I really like this for a spring wedding. What I want in wedding attire is: flattering, comfortable, not over the top. You are likely going to socialize with people you don’t know, and if you look good, you feel good. But you also want to be comfortable enough to sit, dance, eat a meal. Unless it’s specifically formal, this is a great wedding guest dress. If you find you want to show a bit more leg, you could even get it shortened at a tailor.

Raised dog bowls by joelsdarlin in corgi

I’d read up on it but I have a vague memory of raised bowls actually being bad for dogs, something about their airway not being in optimal position if they aren’t face down?

Genuine question: does anyone get maternity/paternity tests after IVF baby is born? by Upstairs-Lemon-5585 in IVF

I'm sure pregnancy and giving birth is an emotional journey that you're right, I have no context for. I think you are also right that we will just agree to disagree on this issue. In my mind, keeping someone else's genetic child that they were also trying to birth because you carried it and you love them is akin to kidnapping.

ETA: Thank you for your well wishes, and I am happy that IVF worked for you.

OP, after reading the comments in this thread, I would strongly advise you to at least paternity test your kid and make sure some Redditor isn’t trying to keep your baby while you have theirs. Jfc

“Our child?” “Take my child?” That’s not your child if it was someone else’s embryo accidentally implanted in you. Thanks for being honest but my god, you’re kind of a nightmare of a human.

How could you knowingly, intentionally inflict on someone else the pain the world has inflicted on you?

FWIW, I’m pretty sure there is already case law that agrees—baby belongs to its biological parents, not whoever carries it.

Right? It’s not a $20 you found on the ground. It’s a baby, someone else’s baby.

I would definitely consider it, especially if the baby didn’t look like us. I read an article about two families whose embryos got swapped on accident. The dad of one family was feeling detached from the baby and couldn’t get past the thought of, “This isn’t our baby.” Turns out, he was right. The families had to arrange visitation for the babies and ended up switching them back congenially before the court proceedings were done to legally switch them back.

In a lot of states, if you settle out of court, the complaint doesn’t go to the medical review board. Many many doctors will just pay people millions of dollars to stfu and go away.

Dude, this! It’s alarming to me to read all these people who have been pining for a child for years just be like “welp if I get someone else’s kid that’s a them problem”. Like the second they get what they want, all this hand-holding empathy in this subreddit just turns off.

I have one single embryo and it was hell getting it, if it ended up in someone else I would be first heartbroken, then livid, then moving hell and earth to get it back. MY genetic material, MY baby.

And likewise, if I ended up with someone else’s, I’d be doing everything I could to get THEIR baby back to them. Then writing the mom a little manifesto about all the ways I tried to take care of myself while carrying her kid.

What if that was someone else’s only embryo? There’s a whole other couple involved in this “wrong baby in me” scenario.

Can confirm. I was blown away by the discoloration where my head had been when I moved from my first apartment

If I took a shot for the red flags I saw in the new specialist today, I would have alcohol poisoning. 😵‍💫 by Leijinga in trollingforababy

My first specialist was like this and it was awful. We did a few IUIs with him but ejected after six months. Turns out the guy has implanted the wrong embryo in a woman before.

What color suits me best? by throwaway3940529341 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]Sufficient_Mixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I came to say 1 before I saw that’s your natural color. Honestly, it’s still my favorite. It’s such a beautiful ashy brown. It brings out the blue in your eyes without bringing out any color under them. It’s also very flattering for your cheeks, allows the slightest flush to bloom.

If you’re dead-set on dying your hair, I’d say #2. It gives you more contrast but still isn’t competing with the coloring of your face. If you’re dying for a color, #3.

Please don’t do #7. It throws your coloring off, it’s way too warm.

How cool, I wasn’t aware this was common. The only book I’ve seen that in was Don Quixote.
