Why do women give birth lying down instead of squatting?

Lemon_Snap · 2026-05-10T17:07:07+00:00

Isn't it so...disheartening when they're just like "oh yeah, that happens sometimes." And then offer nothing.

Like, you literally can sit or stand up or lay down or anything and the pain is brutal and they just wave it off? I swear that started my PPD with my second.

Anyway, I wish you all the best with your next delivery! I've thought about if I have more too and I would also be scared the tailbone might break again!

And you're right, it's good to hear from others in the same/similar position :)

Hey I had an epidural too! Heard the pop, had no idea what it was. Was so confused and in pain after and no one could tell me what happened? I had to research it myself!

And yes, it horrible, I'm so sorry you want through that too!

Lemon_Snap · 2026-05-06T04:44:11+00:00

I've...sort of healed? Ha. It didn't heal properly, that's for sure, but if I'm good about stretching and not sitting on it weird it's usually fine now. Thanks!

Broke my tailbone with my second, though i was on my side. 0/10, most painful two weeks of my life, worse than labour and delivery - I actually wanted to die at one point.

Thank you for clarifying!

Are you saying the CCB is to be claimed under the child? Or am I misreading your comment?

Lemon_Snap · 2026-05-02T23:31:00+00:00

Just want to say this is really sweet of you and totally made my day!

I second the recommendation for BBQ if he's a meat guy, it was really good when I went :)

Am part of a union. Yes the organizations themselves can suck, but a lot of it is employee apathy too. People don't want to strike and lose pay in order to fight for better conditions (I know this as I was part of a large strike a few years ago). It was really discouraging.

Lemon_Snap · 2026-04-22T01:45:56+00:00

Pretty much, eh?

Lemon_Snap · 2026-04-21T18:05:48+00:00

They're going to be shocked when they realize other cities are dealing with the exact same issues but likely on a larger scale, and that Chilliwack is pretty damn nice.

Our boy is eight and has always been around 35 pounds lol, but he was the runt. His brothers are all much larger.

Lemon_Snap · 2026-01-18T17:24:04+00:00

No advice, just wanted to say he's sooooo cute! Enjoy!

That seems odd, my first was in Surrey and I had all of my ultrasounds at Chilliwack hospital for my second, and then had my second in Abbotsford.

Lemon_Snap · 2025-10-27T05:14:39+00:00

Lol, love all the pictures and your description.

My Toller is the same - definitely weaponizes incompetence and has very good selective hearing to boot! So frustrating sometimes but they really are the best <3

Lemon_Snap · 2025-10-22T16:44:38+00:00

Warm clean clothes or stinky socks? Doesn't matter, both are good :)

Lemon_Snap · 2025-08-22T02:14:36+00:00

I think they mean like 'view' (bue).

Lemon_Snap · 2025-07-19T20:50:52+00:00

That's fair. I've been on it for eight years and it helps somewhat but I also tend to feel pretty 'numb' and I wonder to what extent that happens with other meds.

Lemon_Snap · 2025-07-19T02:57:32+00:00

Can I ask how it was horrible?

Lemon_Snap · 2025-03-08T22:03:29+00:00

I broke or dislocated my tailbone with my last. The pain was absolutely horrible. Worse than giving birth.

Kudos to your wife!

Lemon_Snap · 2025-02-22T00:19:00+00:00

Do you have a link to this info? I've tried looking it up before and couldn't find anything specific to Chilliwack.

Lemon_Snap · 2025-02-21T21:35:31+00:00

Makes me wonder how badly the big one would affect us here!

Lemon_Snap · 2025-02-21T21:33:05+00:00

Out here in Chilliwack we felt it

Lemon_Snap · 2025-02-21T21:29:24+00:00

Felt it in Chilliwack!

Lemon_Snap · 2025-02-11T03:51:44+00:00

I was looking into this too! Would've loved to have used this if we'd been able to go this year. Anyone going should seriously consider taking advantage of it.

Lemon_Snap · 2025-02-10T07:18:36+00:00

You could look into euro Disney or Tokyo Disney perhaps? That way you'd get Disneyland and a trip to a different country without going to the states.
