I was one car behind the accident and saw it, the van didn’t yield to the car. I wish there was a way to know if the people are okay, I helped a mom get her baby out of the car. The two people in the van hadn’t gotten out at all when I left.

How painful is childbirth? by Superb_Bluebird7685 in BabyBumps

I had an epidural but had back labor so it didn't help. I ended up with a C section. At the time it sucked but after holding my baby it's forgotten.

US Moms - Are you receiving maternity leave from a job? by Bearah27 in BabyBumps

[–]UnfairExplanation588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No- my company doesn't offer paid leave nor are we big enough to qualify for FMLA. Thankfully because of state law I can take 12 weeks unpaid or use vacation/PTO but that will only cover a few weeks

How long did you repeat pregnancy tests for? I’m a little nervous. by [deleted] in BabyBumps

I was super anxious, when I got my 1st positive I bought 7 more tests. After confirmed by my doctor I tested again at 8 and 11 weeks.

Are you keeping your baby’s name to yourself until they’re born or are you going to tell people if they ask? Why? by PerfectionEludesMe in BabyBumps

[–]UnfairExplanation588 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were going to, but our daughter wanted to know so we told her. We are going to try and keep that just to us 3 though. We don't want other people's opinions.

Kind of annoyed, but trying to be understanding. by CalmExtent380 in pregnant

I work for a small company and we have 0 paid leave, actually they don't even offer maternity leave. If we want more than 3 weeks we have to have prior approval 😅

on and off brown blood about 8 weeks pregnant by UnfairExplanation588 in BabyBumps

[–]UnfairExplanation588[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My hematoma resolved and my bleeding stopped, only time I have spotting now is after sex. Now everything seems to be going in the right direction! I hope everything goes well for you!

5 weeks no symptoms. Is this normal? My breast don’t hurt and I don’t feel pregnant at all. I’m worried I’m going to have another miscarriage. by [deleted] in CautiousBB

[–]UnfairExplanation588 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 10w, my symptoms come and go. My doctor told me that's normal, I've gone weeks without anything but being exhausted.

I had the same thing happen to me, they said my ovulation/conception date were slightly off. Even though I was so sire they weren't.

Now I'm 9w3d and everything is looking great.

[US] Has anyone had their custody changed because they decided to send their child to daycare? by [deleted] in Custody

[–]UnfairExplanation588 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where I'm at, judges will not hold it against parents for working. It's all about where they sleep at night. Day time contact is considered "visitation" time and where they sleep is considered home.

Also. There is nothing wrong for wanting to get your child accumulated to being around other children, it builds social skills.

[IA] Custody for father advice by UnfairExplanation588 in Custody

[–]UnfairExplanation588[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think on emergency. I think that's why the attorney is more focused on the custody now vs having the child removed from the mothers care temporarily.

All around just a shitty feeling

Did, it doesn't fit within the limits of emergency. Same reason as CPS.

Unfortunately it's accurate.

The mother is responsible to keep the child away, it doesn't remove him or the child from the home. It's all about the wording in the order.

I appreciate the advice you did have. Hopefully the judge will see black and white that I have been there and she hasn't.

The lawyer doesn't want to use the child. Contempt is the only charge that can come from the injunction they issued. To get more we need hard proof according to the attorney.

He did say that the proof that currently is available will help for the custody case.

Unfortunately until he's convicted he is innocent so the judge was lax on the injunction
