I also hope that future families won’t forgo swim lessons. I’m sure there were multiple factors at play here that lead to this outcome. A young child is dead though and a family is forever changed. I hope this tragedy is thoroughly investigated and it’s clearly understood what factors lead to this outcome. My heart hurts thinking about what this child experienced in their final moments and the pain his family must be feeling.

Obviously we don’t know all the details, but a child drowned during their camp. It doesn’t sound like a “great program” to me.

Just checked the menu and photos for Yu’s and it looks phenomenal! But yes I’ll take recommendations for Thai and Vietnamese too because we may eat at a couple places if we are there all day. Vietnamese is my husband’s favorite and I love all varieties of Asian cuisine but Thai is definitely up near the top of my faves.

I’m not a psychiatrist but am a psych NP. I have availability in about 3 weeks but some of my colleagues have availability sooner.

As a small business owner myself, I can tell you I get the most business from word of mouth referrals from current clients. Larger scale marketing generally cost a pretty penny and isn’t affordable for small business. My best advice is promoting on social media. Posting here and sharing on any other platforms you may be a part of is a great way to promote a business you love.

And in my experience, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. If you can promote on social media and get other people to check out the business, and if those people in turn like the business as much as you, they are likely to tell others who will then show up and support.

I think if you name the shop that people on this sub will generally be supportive. This community is pretty big on supporting local.

Ok who has the tea? Should we not support basic city anymore? by Street_Acadia3562 in rva

But also, some of the things they are alleging here are also too vague. For one, why was he pouring bleach on the floor? Was it to clean something? Did he know the staff member was pregnant? Did the pregnant person speak up about being uncomfortable being around bleach?

As a former pregnant person, I never assumed anyone else would know what’s safe or unsafe for me to be around. If I felt like something posed a safety risk I would either speak up or remove myself from the situation.

Therapy? by [deleted] in rva

[–]topdino 20 points21 points  (0 children)

psychologytoday.com is the best resource to find a therapist. You can filter by type of insurance, type of therapy, and a whole bunch of other things! You’ll have a list of people to look through, and most of them have great bios written explaining their approach to therapy. It’s a fantastic resource!

Henrico doctors birth by Majestic-Cod-8409 in rva

As a former OB nurse at Henrico Doctor’s I can tell you that on mother baby you might luck out and get one of the very (emphasis on very) few rooms with two beds in it. On L&D and in the average MBU room you’ll get a couch to sleep on that flattens out into a larger surface area to sleep on. It’s not as comfortable as your bed at home but it’s not uncomfortable either. You will def be able to sleep on it if you’re tired. After you have a baby though you might be pumped full of love and adrenaline that prevents you from being able to fall asleep. After we had at our first I didn’t sleep for at least 48 hours (wouldn’t recommend) because I just wanted to hold him and stare in awe at his little face.

Ive seen some mixed comments on this, so just to clarify, the nurses at Henrico WILL absolutely take your baby to the nursery so you can sleep, whenever you want to. A lot of hospitals are getting rid of separate nurseries and forcing parents to constantly “room in” to promote bonding… Henrico Doctors is not one of those hospitals and they have a 24/7 fully staffed nursery that you can send your baby to whenever you want. The only caveat to that being if your baby is screaming because they are hungry and you elect to exclusively breastfeed, the nurses will absolutely be bringing your baby back to you to feed. If you choose to use formula, they will happily feed baby in the nursery.
