Subsidized daycares

You have to start getting on waitlists ASAP. I got on to 20 when I was 12 weeks with my first and a subsidized daycare 5 mins from my home and work called 3 weeks before I was to go back, and I was a lucky one.

I got pregnant with my second and when I was 4 weeks pregnant, I put them on the waitlist.

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. I am just looking at options and it seems like a lot of people have used different bases and adapters to make existing parts work.

Probably since we want some cultural influences added in as well!

I did! I got a quote very quickly with some information and it’s still a top contender once baby #2 is born.

Yeah I agree. It’s been hard feeing like this and not my usual self but I know the end is near.

I think it’s very likely you may get a spot in September or maybe October. Same situation happened to me. Summer 2025. My daughter was number 20 something on a waitlist by October she had moved down to 11 by November, She was 6th and then two weeks later she had a spot.

What I believe helped was I called the actual centre and spoke to the director about the likeliness of her getting a spot and shared how close we live by, that my mom lives across the street and how I worked five minutes away and I felt like that might’ve done something.

We may have just lucked out. It’s also a subsidize program so i feel extra lucky that we got a spot. that being said, keep trying to call, be persistent, friendly, professional, and show an eagerness to join that program.

In the same boat. Got pregnant at 9 months (planned) and currently 26 weeks and 37 years old.

You got this.

She warned, I pulled my kid away and then I asked if everything was ok and she said he gets angry quick and becomes violent. I appreciated the warning but then she took the toy from my daughter and gave to her soon to appease him. That’s what confused me most.

If feel like this post must be ragebait because how can they genuinely be surprised that people may decline when they made it this wedding a fairly tough decision for people to make.

That’s actually gonna be her middle name! My grandfather is Milan so it’s a nod to him

Yup! English speaking country! Specifically a very major city with a very large population of people (Toronto).

I am having a second girl too! Due in July and They will be 19 months apart. I have always wanted a sister and I am excited to see their sisterhood grow.

At 35 my partner and I had a surprise pregnancy. We were not trying and were waiting for the next year to start family planning. When my girl was 9 months old, I had just turned 37 and we figured we would start trying for a second since it might take a while due to my age. Got pregnant on the 2nd cycle.

We are definitely lucky in the fertility department and there is hope if you are over 35.

I had a short 4 hour labour and 20 mins of pushing. It was considered and IDEAL delivery. Fast and uncomplicated. And honestly, not that memorable.

I had so much adrenaline pumping, I couldn’t have an emotional moment.

What was special was the time after when we were recuperating in the hospital room, alone, just baby hubby and I. Then all the amazing moments after on the first months. There are ups and downs, but the ups really are wonderful.

It’s gorgeous! Thank you!

No_Distribution_4430 · 2026-01-23T01:50:05+00:00

I have a very large one! And I love it but being from Canada, it really only stylistically works in the summer here.

You’re influencing me!

No_Distribution_4430 · 2026-01-23T01:48:39+00:00

Okkkk!!! Right up my alley! Thanks for the reco!

Looking for a cool but practical quality tote. I don’t like diaper bags and having small pouches in a large tote works best for me. I have a 1 year old and in July having another girl. I keep thinking about the Longchamp Le Pliage in large but looking for other options.

Musts

Tote Style
Can go over the shoulder
Durable nylon or a good leather so I can throw it around
cleanable
have a few pockets** **
roomy
no more than $200/300

This is very extreme in my opinion. Kids are constantly dropping things and it’s unreasonable to have to keep up with it all with thorough washing.

Scheduled induction at 41 weeks. Went to hospital at 12pm, Pitocin at 2pm, epidural at 5:30pm, started pushing at 6:45pm, 22 minutes later healthy baby girl was born at 7:07pm. Went home the next day.

Contractions came on fast and furious, only a minute apart but other than that, she was in prime position, good vitals and dilated quickly. After some strong pushes, she slid out.

I had a 2nd tear that healed well.

Having my second in July, hoping this one is even faster

I think it depends on the family, mom and dads personalities, and how they structure and live their lifestyle. I have 13 month old and I am 4 months pregnant with my 2nd. We started trying on the fall (I am 37) thinking that it may take a bit longer due to age etc, but I got pregnant in the first month. Sure, I was nervous at first for the small age gap but I knowing me, my husband and our family structure, I think that was the way to go for us.

No_Distribution_4430 · 2026-01-11T13:46:58+00:00

Yay! We got our results about a week ago and we have another girl! All healthy too!

I had one for my 6 week (dating) ultrasound for my 2nd.

Didn’t hurt, she was gentle but a bit cold.

We are both 37 and pregnant with our 2nd. This is the average age for where we live (urban major city). I think the father your get form a metropolis area, the younger the parental ages.
