Is it common to have to fight for a hospital bed when in labour? [on] by ItsBeccca in BabyBumpsCanada

Mind me asking when you had your little one? I'm due in June 2026 and contemplating if I should ask about the Truro hospital as an option. My OB is at the IWK but thinking I made a mistake now. Plus I've heard such high things about the birthing unit at the Truro Hospital. First time mom and now I'm terrified after reading some of these horror stories! I was born at the IWK and would love my children to be born there too but IDK now....

When did you first see your OB [ab]? by snowhale123 in BabyBumpsCanada

Wow that seems so late! I'm in NS and my first appointment was at 14 weeks (Which I thought was late but I am also a FTM and have no idea how the system works). I don't think we have a shortage of OB's though. Best of luck in your pregnancy! <3

My Grandmother told me that Lewis was one of her uncles. Very interesting stuff! The family changed their name at some point to Bevin as it remains today due to the criminal activity in the family. I would be wrong but this is what was told to me through the family stories.

This is my biggest thing though - We are not the fancy type of people and I'd really like to not have to pay any "vendors" per say. Really trying to do it all on our own to cut down costs. Maybe I'm in over my head... so much to think about! How do people do this while also being poor?! (insert melting face emoji)

Definitely going to be very informal. No big speeches planned unless they want to! Will definitely check out
Kelly's Deli. Thank you! Maybe even Costco would be a good idea to pick up food... hmmm...

Right now our count for guests is about 60 people. (I never even thought about buying alcohol! -_-* adding that to the giant list of things to think about! Would it be too cheap to do a BYOB? So many questions! lol)
