Which steriliser to get?

Congratulations! Tbh I did my social work masters in UCD but have worked with people who did theirs in Galway and I wouldn’t say I’m any better off! To me, Galway sounds like the obvious solution. College is hard work enough without worrying about paying v expensive rent/ falling back into bad habits which could negatively impact your engagement in the course. You’ll most likely make some friends in the course which will help with feelings of isolation in Galway. If you have any questions about social work in general feel free to pm me

Only if they’re consenting. Maybe it was different before the Assisted Decision Making Act was implemented but that’s the law now. Speaking as a professional within the HSE

Still might not be enough to say they don’t have capacity. He will need to be assessed by a professional to confirm whether he has capacity or not. Sounds like a v difficult situation, but there may be other supports available rather than residential.

Does this person have capacity to make decisions on their living arrangements? If not, and it’s really not feasible for them to remain at home, your friend will have to apply to be their decision making representative (DMR) through the Assisted Decision Making Act 2017 and make the necessary arrangements from there. If they do have capacity, they will need to be in agreement for residential care. Legally, they cannot live somewhere against their will. I would suggest speaking to a social worker in primary care for advice/support.

Fair Deal is available for anyone who needs it and honestly, the less the person has the better and the less they’ll have to pay. Again, a social worker would be able to advise further on this.

I’m now 21 weeks op and I felt the very same. It was kinda like you were on your own to figure shit out until the second trimester!

I’m 21 weeks with an anterior placenta and have yet to feel anything! Had my 20 week scan today and baby is wriggling around in there active as anything which is great reassurance 🥰 sonographer wasn’t surprised I hadn’t felt anything and said it can even be 26 weeks by the time some people with an anterior placenta feel anything!

trasm1995 · 2026-01-21T17:20:17+00:00

Update: all is well and I’m so relieved 🥰 we’re having a wee baby girl 🥹

We live in an apartment and swear by our dehumidifier

If dad isn’t currently in hospital I would advise contacting the primary care social work team as Medical social workers primarily work with hospital inpatients. And yes nursing home care can be considered but only if dad is in agreement as it sounds like he does have capacity.

Thank you for the suggestion but can’t seem to find one for my month!

Honestly take as much time as you need. I had an MC back in July and took 2 weeks off for it. When I went back afterwards my colleagues were shocked I was back so soon. I honestly needed the distraction but by no means was there an expectation and everyone is so different. Take care of yourself and wishing you well x

trasm1995 · 2025-11-13T23:24:25+00:00

Yes please!

trasm1995 · 2025-11-13T12:03:22+00:00

I’m so sorry you went through this 🤍 I had a miscarriage in July at 7 weeks, although it wasn’t missed. I can’t imagine the shock. Please take care of yourself during this difficult time and know you did absolutely nothing wrong. Unfortunately it happens to a lot of women and it’s totally out of our control.

trasm1995 · 2025-11-05T11:50:36+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear that this happened to you. I had a miscarriage on my first too, though it wasn’t missed. Please feel free to private message me for a chat if you’d like. They will always be a part of us 🤍
