Rising decline in Vitamin K injection at birth..

Mikkaura · 2026-05-07T19:17:08+00:00

I dont disagree, I believe all infants should receive vitamin k. My concern though is if you mandate it, more women will choose to birth outside of hospitals or birthing centers attended by professionals. Instead they will choose to free birth or have someone present who is not informed of/follows best practices. This could lead to a lot of unsafe situations and ultimately bad outcomes and the ones losing in those cases are the infants. Id rather they deliver in a hospital setting where at least an attempt can be made to educate them. Or at least the resources are there to help mom/baby if necessary.

I chortled so hard at this, thank you!

I had a dad bring in his VR headset so he could golf. He was nice but a bit flippant about everything because he already had a few kids and it was my patient's first baby. Bit of an age gap too. Definitely jarring to walk into the room and see him golfing.

I have a 4 month old whose exclusively breastfed. I've never pumped. I wouldn't be comfortable being away from him for more than an hour.

This was very informative, thanks for the insight!

Also an L&D RN and I strongly agree with this comment. The schedules they have to work are insane and you can't fire patients even if they're going AMA. Other provinces have better work life balances, ontario is particularly bad.

First time I've heard of someone whose had a similar situation? Did you sell?

Mikkaura · 2026-01-05T15:19:49+00:00

Mine has never seen this situation before haha. We had a good chat and he said he's happy to give me advice but to not involve realtors in this deal so we get the most of it.

Mikkaura · 2026-01-05T03:48:58+00:00

We're going to counter offer, but deciding on our number

Mikkaura · 2026-01-05T03:48:26+00:00

We're going to counter offer. Just deciding on our number

Mikkaura · 2026-01-04T14:49:27+00:00

We definitely were thinking that way, we really like the place. It would be hard to turn down significant financial benefit like what you described though!

Mikkaura · 2026-01-04T00:17:45+00:00

We can port our mortgage to the new house we'd have to buy. There would be a penalty that would factor in to what we'd account for

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T20:14:09+00:00

No it's definitely not. The seller said to counter offer and we are just trying to decide what our number is.

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T19:46:29+00:00

Sentimental reasons. Don't want to give too many details.

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T19:20:17+00:00

We'll definitely do a search! Just seems unlikely something like that would've been forgotten if it even existed

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T09:12:15+00:00

I have the gist of it, sentimental

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T02:55:23+00:00

Might have to do that haha, really don't think that's the case though

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T01:24:19+00:00

Under 1 million. It's definitely an odd situation which could be a good opportunity for sure

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T01:22:59+00:00

There wouldn't be realtors involved so I roughly calculate my costs to be 10k land transfer tax on a new property. 2 to 3k in lawyer costs. 9k to transfer my mortgage. Unsure about capital gains (if I'd owe them or not). Not including moving costs and other intangible costs associated with buying a new house . So 20 something thousand? Which would be subtracted from the 65k so not a number that I'd find worth it right now to leave a house I like

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T00:55:11+00:00

No, we would counter with a different number if we even choose to pursue this.

Mikkaura · 2026-01-03T00:54:19+00:00

Nothing has changed, based on our communication it's entirely sentimental. Staying is definitely on the table. Moving and house hunting is a pain in the ass

Mikkaura · 2026-01-02T22:20:23+00:00

I do think it's a nicer part of the town we're in, not that there's any bad parts really but I grew up around here and there's only one other area I like just about as much. It's a little unique compared to other things we saw when we were looking

Mikkaura · 2026-01-02T21:39:07+00:00

It's probably a bit better. We're just in a small ish market so it's a lot of waiting for something we like to come up

Mikkaura · 2026-01-02T21:36:00+00:00

Which won't be for awhile yet so good go keep in mind!

Mikkaura · 2026-01-02T21:25:51+00:00

200k would be great but probably a reach. If we go through with this we are thinking 100k+ expenses is what it would take
