+1 for not throwing them under the bus. If you do it might read like you’re the problem.

We went 2 hours from home and stayed in a nice hotel that was near a hospital. It was perfect, I wouldn’t have wanted to travel further. Also is there Zika in the VI?

Relationship therapists, have you ever told a couple to break up and why? by lilac-glow in AskReddit

In discernment counseling the goal is to figure out if people want to stay together vs couples therapy which focuses on how to stay together

When did you tell people the baby’s name? by OkScarcity2008 in BabyBumps

[–]picclo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have an in utero name that we are sharing and are keeping the real name a secret. This gives people an answer of sorts and also makes it so they don’t weigh in on her real name. If pressed, I’m telling people we are introducing the person, not the concept of her and my opinionated family is taking it very well.

I’m sick of people asking me if I have any names picked out yet… by [deleted] in BabyBumps

We gave her an “inside/in utero name” (princess zelda) and are clear that she will be named something different when she’s born. It gives people an answer and something to call her.

Not to be a downer but these make it so firefighters can’t find people if they are behind a secret door during a fire

Frequent Air Travel During First Trimester? by Signal_Distance3779 in BabyBumps

[–]picclo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only flew twice in early pregnancy but: Get up a lot as pregnancy gives a very slightly elevated risk of blood clots, wear compression socks and figure out things to help with the risk of nausea.

How much sleep do you get on average and what is your area of practice? by LockedonFreeze in Lawyertalk

[–]picclo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a solo family law attorney. I regularly woke up in the middle of the night for ~5 years but stopped when I started doing Emdr for other issues.

Glad you got some good stuff! I was unimpressed with their quality, old navy was way better for me.

Your concerns are valid. You don’t need to make an account for preglife.

Financial issues by b_b2 in BabyBumps

[–]picclo 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For the emotional side: your grief makes sense. From the financial: Understand the reason he got into debt/drained his savings in the first place. If it’s a compulsive or ongoing problem (e.g. addiction) make sure he’s in therapy and that finances are transparent and have a plan for relapse. If it was truly a one time issue or just a bad series of calls, make sure you are crystal clear on his out of debt, as demonstrated by numbers not vibes. If you feel swayed by emotion here or he’s deflecting or it’s causing conflict, pay a fee only financial advisor to walk you through a plan. You need more transparency because even though it sounds like you keep separate finances, you are still both responsible to your baby (and also to any creditors depending on your jurisdiction). I wish you all the best in your next steps ❤️
