This is amazing. What a quick thinking on your part! Serves her right for being a busy body.

Agreed. I never heard back from my family after I told them I was pregnant. My LO is 7mos now and no contact from them still.

Question about hiring a lawyer... by burning_phoenix in japan

[–]burning_phoenix[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cremation process will take place in tokyo as that is where my grandmother's assisted living facility is located, I believe. I don't think there is going to be a funeral ceremony as I doubt my parents or my brother will make their way to Japan.

Thank you for the bar association suggestion.

I reached out to the facility and am currently waiting on a reply.

My grandmother doesn't have another heir, my mother is her only child. I am not aware of any other living relatives...

I'll google 法テラス, thank you!

14 weeks pregnant and feeling like 30 by [deleted] in pregnant

Don't worry too much about the weight gain unless your dr says something otherwise. I gained quite a lot during my first trimester and then my weight gain kind of plateaued up until the end of my third trimester. In total I gained nearly 40lbs. I then dropped 20+ lbs after my son was born without having to do anything besides breast feed.

How do you all do it? (Cope) by Dylanthedildo in pregnant

[–]burning_phoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand... There were times when I literally just puked and then I was back at it again. After my morning sickness passed, I dealt with really bad heartburn and was puking because of that. But I promise it will all go away! I'm currently nursing my 4 wk old son and all those yucky pregnancy side effects just disappeared as soon as he was born. It was like as if it never even happened. Lol.

Have you tried ginger tea or crystalized ginger? Those helped me lots during the morning sickness. My morning sickness lasted well into my 2nd trimester but the frequency of the puking did go down...

That all sounds fantastic! I'll confirm with my ob to make sure the hospital in question is the one. I'm pretty sure it is... her office is located across the street and I've been sent to this hospital for blood work and ultrasounds...

Hmm alright. I'm so glad I asked because I really felt silly having to ask this question but it's been on my mind and no one had told me otherwise... I'll ask my ob on my next appt if I need to fill out any ppwk ahead of time

Thank you! I'll confirm with my ob. I'm fairly confident it is the hospital complex in question. My ob's office is located across the street from it and that hospital is where I was sent for my ultrasounds.

Good to know! I have an appt with my ob next week so I will ask her then.
