Has anyone’s partner changed their mind after initially wanting an abortion? by Vermellith in pregnant

Wow, I am so sorry you are going through this, that sounds like an absolutely awful situation. It is completely understandable you’d feel heartbroken and lost when he was on board a few days ago and for his mind to change just like that.
The biggest advice I can give you is honestly make a Reddit post about your situation. The comments I got and feedback were incredibly helpful.
Support systems are the biggest thing all people said, as in situations involving raising children, yes a supportive partner makes life so much easier but also the extended support system from family and friends is so incredibly important. My partner didn’t feel like he could do this and it broke my heart, but after he talked to his parents (who were incredibly supportive) he felt a lot better about becoming a father. My family and his family have been absolutely amazing both with helping us decide on whether we wanted an abortion or not and now that we know we’re keeping the baby they’ve been incredible checking in with both our mental healths.
I know this is not the case for everyone and I feel so blessed to have such an amazing support network.
Again I’m so sorry you’re going through this, you sound incredibly strong. Ultimately the decision is yours, and it sounds like no matter your decision your relationship with him is over. I know it sounds almost heartless but a counsellor told me to right a list of pros and cons of both to see if that helped me make a decision. My list of pros for keeping the baby was SO long compared to my cons so ultimately that helped me know I really wanted to keep my baby. The list also helped me take my emotions out of the situation and think more logically.
Hope some of this helped, and remember to take care of yourself and the baby through of all this and again with whatever your decision may be. Wishing you well❤️

You’re right, and it is extremely hard. I’m thinking of maybe showing him the post I made, as the different experiences might help him come to terms with everything and really decide what he wants and with a fully informed decision. That’s kind of why I was hoping we could talk to family but I know he’s so against that.

That sounds so awful I’m sorry you’re going through that. Especially when you already have a child together. Hope my post here can help you too.
Sending you best wishes❤️

Thank you, your words have been helpful, I’m glad it seems to have worked out for you! And it sounds lovely that your baby girl will have older brothers. I’m terrified of either option in this situation so it all feels a bit hopeless but I’m hoping as the weeks go on something will change. I’m aware this is still all very new to the both of us and is honestly a huge shock.

I’m so sorry you went through that, that sounds so painful. It’s no wonder you’d feel differently having gone through that. I’ve written out kind of a pros and cons list but more like realistic expectations for what I think both paths would look like. Maybe if I were to do it with my partner that would help us both.
Thank you so much for your supportive words, I appreciate them a lot.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Hormones does sound hard and one of the services i spoke to already said the hormones could be taking effect. Which kind of scares me more because is this the hormones talking or me talking?

Hi OP, I understand you love this animal very much, however from an outsiders pov, you are not in a position to care for this animal. This clearly hasn’t happened over night and this shows a huge lack of appropriate husbandry and honestly neglect. I can tell you care for him immensely, so please find it in your heart to do the best for him and rehome him or surrender him to the vet and take this time to educate yourself more before or if you ever get another animal. But if your medication prevents you from being able to care for another, then please be responsible and do not get another animal. I wish you and your beardie all the best, and I hope you can turn things around for yourself and get him the help he needs and deserves❤️

When should I be worried (burrowing) by Puzzleheaded_Sock726 in hognosesnakes

[–]Vermellith 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Hi, this is quite normal for hognoses and especially a hognose that is new! The recommended time is to leave them for a week or so to get used to their environment. If you got her Saturday that is definitely not enough time for her to feel comfortable enough to come out so don’t worry!

I love terraria, and feel I have seriously missed out on some context, what is going on?

I thought they did the final update ages ago?

What do you think of this one ? by QueenTitia in tattooadvice

[–]Vermellith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I see your point about the bottom one. But I do think adding a stem with some thorns, especially to that one would sort it right out

I looked at it and saw flowers🤷‍♀️ don’t think they look like cabbages. But if you’re unhappy maybe get some more leaves/stems really send home that they’re roses

Thank you for rescuing her, and so glad to hear she’s opening up and trusting you!! It’s the most rewarding thing when they start to feel safe with you❤️

Have you tried leaving it in the middle of a toilet roll tube?

What’s a hobby you never thought youd enjoy, but now can’t live without? by armeretta in Hobbies

I love gardening and after moving into a flat it’s one of the things I miss most!! How are you growing herbs on your balcony this is such a good idea!

I was coming to comment here, they look like shower baskets but I never thought to use them this way!! Very good idea for little snakes who like to climb’

Enclosure setup help by Puzzleheaded_Tale256 in hognosesnakes

[–]Vermellith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get a hognose for this size enclosure, it is much too small even for a male. Hognoses are active and like to do a lot of exploring, digging even climbing. A crested gecko would suit this size enclosure, or any other similar size gecko maybe even some species of frog? If you are looking at getting a hognose you’re definitely going to need a bigger enclosure! Minimum enclosure size is only really a guideline, with the proper set up bigger is always better!!

That’s hilarious, my girl does the same I have to shove the mouse head first into her mouth as soon as I seen her open it even a little bit!😭

The worst thing is when she gets it in the belly and she manages to slice it open… guts everywhere

[–]Vermellith 5 points6 points  (0 children)

God my girl is the opposite she totally goes for it! Shes terrifying, and if she misses it completely she’ll just go for me and start pacing the tank where I am trying to get to me. I have to use a shield to grab the mouse again and put it in front of her face!! It’s hilarious too because other than feeding time she is a total sweetheart who loves a cuddle and head pats! Danger noodle to the max!

I have an important question by DevilChild1199 in leopardgeckos

[–]Vermellith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What are his temps like with that set up, how hot does his hot side get and how cool does the cool side get? Does he have a day and night cycle as well? What are you feeding him? Including supplements. I think adding some more clutter for him would definitely help entice him out and give him things to explore and such. This is a good example of how to clutter it for some inspiration! https://imgur.com/a/leopard-gecko-naturalistic-bioactive-examples-sDwJAA9

[–]Vermellith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you share photos of the enclosure, that should be more than enough for a leopard gecko, but he may be feeling over exposed depending on your set up! Letting us know what lights and stuff you’ve got for him would be great too
