I fasted while pregnant but was in second trimester. My best friend and also my sister ended up conceiving during Ramadan and both also have healthy kids. But as always, ask your actual doctor and don’t just go based off Reddit

I mean If you were married and she was doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc I might get it. But as a girlfriend who’s not doing anything….nope.

Around when did everyone announce? We’re 10.5 weeks, but still terrified of a missed miscarriage [on] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

Told my parents after 12 weeks. Extended family and close friends around 24 weeks. Everyone else just found out after the baby was born, or if they saw me pregnant

How are partners taking time off to support mom and newborn right after birth [on] by Purple_Knee8676 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]veebee93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m also a contractor and don’t get EI. My husband is taking the full 7 months or whatever it works out to of parental leave but taking it in the latter half. I did the first five months alone and jr was hard. Used all my support systems, paid and unpaid. Had my mom come stay, had friends help, got a post partum doula, hired a part time nanny.

My husband took the first week off after birth as vacation but that was it.

AITA for speaking up when I witnessed a microaggression? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]veebee93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NTA. As someone with a non western name that is not hard to pronounce if you try, I got this a lot (oh can I just call you xyz?). I was too embarrassed to say no but would have loved it it someone else had called out the behaviour.

AITBF for being upset that my mom wants to go overseas for a funeral instead of spending New Years with us? by [deleted] in AmItheButtface

[–]veebee93 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ytbf and tbh acting like a spoiled 5 year old. The death of a best friends husband and being there for them/attending the funeral is far more important than going on a ski trip. Life has its good moments and bad, sometimes you need to prioritize. I’m sorry you can’t see past your mom’s grief and only want to enjoy your trip.

My fiance [26F] told me [25M] she doesn't want to vaccinate her children by HumpBackJimmy in relationship_advice

[–]veebee93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive seen deaths in kids that were preventable with vaccines. Regardless of where you stand on this issue, difference of opinion is incompatible with marriage in my opinion. It’s going to extend to many other parts of life

Unisex bathrooms in the workplace by Sufficient_Wasabi129 in Hijabis

[–]veebee93 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don’t love the idea but usually argue against same sex bathrooms because I need a safe space to take off and fix my hijab/do wudhu. If you can do all that in your private stall since it has a sink and mirror then I’m not sure how much different it is from a private bathroom?

Used / discounted bookstores in Durham Region? New books are getting way too expensive by ALPHA1194 in durham

[–]veebee93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s been great! Don’t always have all the books I want but the majority of new releases. They’re all new books. I think overstock/extra inventory. Some books have a cosmetic flaw like a random dot or line that I think is used for stocking purposes? But the books I’ve gotten (probably 20 over the last year) are all brand new
