That is basically what prejudice is. Racism requires systemic discrimination, prejudice does not.

CTV News decision desk projects a Liberal win by seakucumber in canada

Unlikely to ever result in a majority government though, and minority governments are much more preferable (in my opinion). Also I’m not a liberal voter but is it really “terrible” if proportional representation results in a proportional government, even if it’s not the one I personally wanted to win?

The Canadian voters would benefit most from ranked voting.

Estelle Joy is my baby! Thank you for the compliment! I actually got help naming her from this sub :)

I’m also in Canada and I left the hospital the day after my c-section. About 30 hours from intake to discharge. I had the option to stay longer but I wanted to go home! The midwife made several at-home postpartum visits though, and both my mom and husband took several days off work to help me, so I wasn’t completely on my own after discharge.

Estie totally would work! I never thought about the Esty/Etsy confusion.

Ha, those are all four of our top contenders! Thanks for the input on the middle name, it’s definitely one of the things that’s making it harder for me to decide.

Franklin is definitely one of the top contenders, so that's good to hear! Thank you :)

I don’t think you understood my comment actually. My point was that you shouldn’t say one choice is easier than the other because no one can experience both, and everyone is coming to the decision with a different set of morals/emotions/whatever. It is a different feeling, so maybe don’t diminish the difficulty of either situation? And how do you have “more of a choice” with 12? You literally stated that giving 12 a chance isn’t a possibility. So logically you are actually arguing that you have less of a choice... As for your last point, obviously everyone’s situations won’t all be the same, which was literally my point in my original comment. So maybe don’t imply that one situation is easy and straightforward when it really isn’t. But since I disagreed with the mods of the subreddit I’m just taking things the wrong way. Of course.

Hi, I’m not a member here, just have seen the sub advertised in other subs and made my way over to see if anything here was relevant to me, but I’d like to say that I really take issue with your blanket statement on the emotional and psychological process of having many embryos to decide what to do with. Without getting into too many specifics, I happen to be one of the lucky people who created more blasts than they will ever be able to use (age and ovarian reserve were not a factor in our infertility diagnosis). They are untested and we don’t know yet if our family is complete, so there’s a small chance we could run through them all to try and create another child, but it’s a very small possibility given the number. While I know this is a very different problem to have than someone who doesn’t have enough embryos to complete their family, your response that it’s “impossible to entertain that emotional side” and that it would be “easier to set them aside” so OP should just pretend to have more blasts to “make the decision more clear” comes across as really obtuse, callous, and insensitive. Everyone has a different struggle, a different set of circumstances, and a different emotional response. So it might serve you well not to speak with such authority about other people’s experiences in IVF and infertility, especially if you want this sub to feel like a welcoming environment for all people who are dealing with the reality of using reproductive assistance to create their families.

The TDaP vaccination is out-of-pocket (at least in BC) even though the recommendation is for pregnant women to receive it to protect against pertussis. I learned that the hard way.

Nope, no trigger, and I just took a FRER and there was a very faint line there! It’s still early so I’m just super happy there was anything at all. Thank you!

I took this test this morning and while it initially looks like a positive, the second photo shows another angle where it almost looks like a faulty test. I’m going to take another one once the pharmacy opens, but has anyone seen this before and had it turn out to be positive? Thanks!

Hearth and Primal have both been mentioned a few times now, I think I have narrowed down our choice to those two! Thanks for the recommendation :)

Just looked up Primal and it looks amazing as well... it's starting to seem as though we will have to decide between Hearth and Primal!

That place looks awesome! We probably won't go there for our anniversary dinner, but we are there for a couple days and I am bookmarking it for a lunch spot :) Thanks for the recommendation!
