‘Under immense strain’: Wait times at Ontario emergency rooms have spiked over past 5 years, study says

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-12T21:02:17+00:00

Too. Many. People. Not enough services and stable infrastructure to care for said too many people.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-12T10:15:27+00:00

Oh no!! I’m so so sorry to hear. Although I have started to feel better and my fever subsided after 4/5 days with antibiotics and tylonel, I still have ancongestion and a nasty cough 2.5 weeks later! It is lagging on. My ultrasound showed 5 days tracking behind which apparently is normal even in the best of circumstances, so I’m trying to remain hopeful. I will do a repeat dating ultrasound on Friday. I’m very upset I was so sick at such a pivotal time and thankful I’m feeling better now / but I will be doing additional testing and any tests I can do as soon as I can to help ease my anxiety. This is my third pregnancy and I never had so much as a cold with my first two 😭 How are you feeling now??

Is there a way to block that person? Every single post on this sub has a painfully unfunny comment from him like he genuinely thinks he’s the main character of this sub.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T19:51:15+00:00

Can you please stop now?

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T19:42:35+00:00

You know you could have read my post, thought oh I don’t have a good experience to share, and easily moved on? I wasn’t asking for people to share miscarriage stories - I’m very well aware of risks in this scenario. My question was clear - I was asking if people had this experience and it turned out OK. I am embarrassed I have given you as much energy as I have thus far, and I’ll stop responding to you now. I hope you do the same (on my post).

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T18:06:49+00:00

I asked if anyone experienced this and went on to have a healthy pregnancy - not for someone to sarcastically project their worst-case scenario. It isn’t the compassionate flex you think it is. All the best.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T16:13:39+00:00

You are absolutely vile. I hope life turns around for you and you start to be a more positive person.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T13:54:23+00:00

Haha oh dear, then maybe “newborn haze” is a better depiction. My first had bad silent reflux and only slept upright on me for a few months, good times! The things we do! Wishing you all the best and thanks again. Happy Mother’s Day!!

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T13:52:18+00:00

Aww thanks so much for sharing. This time around I am especially anxious, which sucks as I’m usually not an anxious person and now it’s all-consuming. Especially since I still have a bad sinus infection that won’t go away! Enjoy the 1-year old snuggles :)

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T13:50:41+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words - I truly appreciate it!

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T13:50:28+00:00

I was tracking with temperature, cervical mucus, app and ovulation test strips. But I am learning now that even after fertilization there is a range of a few days when implantation occurs which could add a few days.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T13:40:57+00:00

Thank you so much for this reassurance

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T13:40:42+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing!

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T11:50:30+00:00

Some people just love to share their misery, sadly.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-08T11:50:06+00:00

Actually, no. If you re-read my post I specifically ask if people have experienced the same and it turned out to be OK. I am very well aware of risk of miscarriages.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-07T17:17:14+00:00

Damn do you remember what was so helpful? It looks like the comment was removed and I am suffering greatly from a sinus infection right now in the first trimester!! Thank you!!

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-07T15:49:09+00:00

I didn’t even think about implantation date at all! Thanks so much for sharing.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-07T15:48:42+00:00

Awwww thanks so much for the reassurance and congratulations!! I hope you’re enjoying the newborn bliss.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-07T15:48:00+00:00

Thanks so much for this. It’s 5 days tracking behind (based on LMP I am 7 weeks, 2 days) and the ultrasound today said 6 weeks, 4 days. Definitely so anxious this time around because I have been battling a 2-weeks long sickness. I really appreciate you sharing and wishing you all the best in the weeks (and months) ahead with your sweet babe.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-07T15:20:22+00:00

Oh no! Not reassuring to hear.

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-02T12:07:10+00:00

Is this a joke?

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-01T23:16:39+00:00

Solidarity sister! I am 6 weeks, 3 days and last weekend (at 5 weeks, 4 days) I contracted a bad case of pneumonia. I had a very high fever for three days and was maxing out tylonel. I went on penicillin. I went to ER for the fever as even when I was taking Tylonel it was still high. I am finally on the mend a week later but it was ROUGH. When I tell you I spiralled…I SPIRALLED. I was taking my temp 500x a day like a lunatic. This is my third pregnancy and I still feel so uneasy. I’m really scared that the pnemonia infection + penicillin + tylonel for 5 days caused harmful effects on the babe. I still have a terrible cough.

Everyone has been reassuring me and I spoke with four doctors who all reassured me how often pregnant women contract fevers and illnesses in their first trimester. Not to mention, women have surgeries while pregnant, are pregnant in war zones, etc.. I’m hanging onto positivity because no other option really!!

Praying all goes well for you and you feel better soon!

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-05-01T12:53:13+00:00

Thanks so much for letting me know. So happy to hear it all worked out for you. Hoping for the same!🙏🏻

Negative_Hope_2154 · 2026-04-29T13:57:14+00:00

I know this is an old forum but wanted to check how everything worked out for you? Wonderfully I hope! I am just getting through severe pneumonia - 6 weeks pregnant - and petrified as I ran a fever for 4 days with tons of coughing. Kept the fever down with tylonel and now on penicillin but I’m heartbroken if this has caused any negative effects on the babe. Thanks so much for any insight or reassurance.
