I am Quebec RN and I recently moved to Ontario. I noticed that in most job qualifications they ask for certain certifications (lactation, CPR, etc.) that normally, we don't need to have in Quebec? And I am now confused bc those are usually either non-official certifications done by hospital training in Quebec. So now I am confused whether I have to spend extra money on these certifications before being able to even apply for these jobs? Even tho I am a nurse since over 10 years????

FTM, currently pregnant at 37w and terrified of what the future holds for my LO and I. Divorcing the man I thought was the love of my life and I am so scared to do this alone. I am so hurt. Thankfully, I have a very supportive family. But I feel like being a single mom is a label that's gonna stuck to me for the rest of my life. I really had a hard time trusting men before my marriage, and now I feel that 100000x over. I feel like him and his family have ruined my life. Idk when I will get over the hurt. Does it ever get better? Can people w experience share their positives?

Please be nice.

After 5 months no contact, he sent me flowers for our anniversary. The next day he called me and we spoke for 3 and a half hours. He basically blames me for leaving and whenever I things his mom/in laws have done, he either says it was a joke, that he doesn't remember (even tho he was right next to me while it was happening) and he took little to almost no accountability. Even tho he knows I am going to the hospital 4x a week and have not had the greatest pregnancy, he doesn't ask once why or how I am doing or our baby is doing. He refuses that I give birth in my city, and wants me to come back to the house I was living w his brother and SIL. He says that we were going to purchase a new house for the two of us if I had stayed, and there is no other house for now. He asked me if I loved him and I said yes but I would not come back to that house as I am traumatized and hate the memories made there. He told me we would talk the next day and to rhink about it. The only question he asked about our baby was the gender.... he said he saw a boy in his dream (we are having a girl). I didn't tell him, bc he had pressed me first to not tell him bc it wasn't the way he wanted to learn. He also told me that nobody could say shit to me anymore, but that he would (lol).

The next day he calls and we only speak 15 mins. He basically yells at me that when I get there, I will have no choice in anything and to basically stfu and that I was in no position to make the rules. He gives me the ultimatum to either come back or stay at my parents' and it's over. I told him I pick the latter.

A few days passed and his father texted my dad; he asked when my dad would be back from overseas from my grandma's funeral. FIL was basically come and try to reconcile his son and I. My dad told him it was over. I feel like they might come regardless, just bc they know I am getting closer to my due date. Idk what to do or tell them if they come. I'm scared to bend and I am also scared that he will promise to make everything right and I might regret not giving him another chance. I am also scared he might lie just to get me to move back.

I am devastated. At first I was firm on my decision, but I can't help but mourn the family we could have had. I am terrified of him, but also scared to be a single mom and be shamed by my community for being a divorcee. I am scared to pick and regret either decision. I am scared to give my last name to my daughter. My heart is so tired. My only solace is giving birth to my baby soon and hugging her for hours.

Edit: typo

We are separated bc of my in-laws since 5 months but there is a chance for us to get back together. And ngl, I kinda hope we do, but I am aldo very hurt. I will give birth in 2 weeks and idk If I should give his last name or mine. We currently live in different cities. Last time we spoke it ended in bad terms, but if he came after the birth and apologized, and swore that none of that would happen again, I would forgive him. We've been married for a year. What would you do?

My co-parent and I will be living in different cities (5 and half hours by car, around an hour by plane).

My LO is not yet born and I’m wondering how to navigate visitations and how it will look like as she gets older. I plan on breastfeeding, so I highly doubt she can be away from me for very long? Has anyone been in a similar situation? Can he force her to drink formula? How did it work out? What do you navigate the holidays later on? I want to add that I live in a French speaking city and he lives in an English speaking city and since I would most likely be the primary parent initially, he would have a hard time for her to switch cities later on, esp w the language barrier (for school and all).

Et est-ce que ça peut être fait part-time?

And yet here I am at 250 lbs. I am 36w FTM and I can't get back to my ~150lbs aka what I was weighing last summer. Not all of it is baby weight, some of it is also relation and depression weight gain. Does anyone think I could drop to at least 170 lbs before new years. Does anyone have a success story for motivation?

35w and about to become a single mom of one in a few weeks and I am terrified of doing this alone. I thankfully have support from my family. I have lived during my pregnancy things I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. All of this feels like a nightmare. My husband didn't even ask how baby was during the last 5 months of my pregnancy, but I think he will come for custody after birth. We live in different cities. He is angry bc I ran away from home, but it was due to abuse from in-laws and him enabling his family by ignoring everything. He has stepped on multiple rights I had (i.e private space: he wouldn't let me lock doors while living w inlaws, his mother commenting in hurtful manners about my appearance multiple times, talking badly about my parents, etc. It got to the point I wanted to end my life). We've been married for a year, but I ran away 5 months ago. Idek what to say. I am so tired and feel so lonely. I think I just need reassurance that things will get better with me and baby on our own. Alhamdullilah I have a degree+job+benefits+loving parents. I am so scared of everything our community will say tho and raising my child alone.

I live in Quebec, Canada for context. Has anyone coparented across provinces for a newborn, esp while breastfeeding? How does it work out? Baby is not yet born (35w) and my ex lives in Ontario. I have not yet filed for divorce, but am going to file for domestic violence (which is mostly verbal and psychological). And I have already an appointment witha lawyer, but only in September. Thank you.

Can you use health insurance for red light mask therapy? Like the Shark one? With Manulife for exemple.

But won't ever post when she returns for some weird reason? Get ready for the detox and reset videos w the blowout grwms 🤪

L'Orange and Yas have been in Paris for now 3-4 days and what have they done besides take pics, eat dinner and get blowouts???? You are in PARIS!!!! Go to the Louvre, go to the Château de Versailles, go to Champs Élyssé, go to l'Arc de Triomphe, hell even go to Cédric Grolet!!!!!! These two are a waste of space 💀

Loren doesn't have a job and this social media gig won't last forever, but the thing w being a licensed RN is that your degree is useless if you don't complete enough hours of work to renew your license with the Nurse Board of your country/state/province, etc. So my question is what was the point of even getting that degree!!!!!! It's not a degree that you can just "fall back on", if you don't have/practice the skills, you are not even eligible to be on the licensing board!! She could at the very least have a PRN job on the side. Idk if she doesn't listen to her parents or if they are enabling her, but she doesn't have bills, no man or kids or house to take care of, she's, as far as we know, able bodied, she's young, so what's her reason???

Baby is 33w4d, I have GD w insulin and I'm a FTM. Had an ultrasound, baby is overall 82th percentile, including her head, but her abdomen is 98th percentile!!! My dr said my endo might up my insulin bc her abdomen is quite large. She weights 2558g (5lb 10 oz). I know that measurements can be off by a little but, I'm likely getting induced at around 38w and I wanted to hear stories, good or bad of ppl pushing out larger babies. I am following all recs by my endo and OB and yet here I am. I feel so discouraged. I am terrified of having an emergency c-section or shoulder dystocia...
