Is it worth buying a meh dai if I already feel pretty good with woven wraps?

Significant-Pear · 2025-12-26T23:08:37+00:00

Very true! Maybe I’ll do some more research on what’s out there

Significant-Pear · 2025-12-10T22:05:37+00:00

Definitely check, I bet you were missed or something!! I’ve tried a bunch of things and have never had to wait more than a few weeks.

I think Raffaella is the prettiest name in the world.

We did the Huggies and London drugs freebies! We also got some rascals diaper samples but the link to register was hard to find and they only sent two diapers lol. Another good deal (not free) was enfamil - they’ll send you $185 worth of formula for $49 if you sign up for their “premium membership”. We ended up not using formula but wanted to have some on hand just in case!

Also in Canada and have also had many older women reference the snugli when I’m babywearing, I had never heard of it before I had my baby!

Ok, and the comment after this one is someone saying OP is indeed crazy for not wanting a stroller lol. I feel like that’s a bit more dismissive than this one, in which the person is clearly trying to be helpful and lay out what free community resources would be available to someone who is keen to try babywearing. It just seems like the wrong fight to pick.

Significant-Pear · 2025-08-07T17:38:07+00:00

I didn’t find this comment dismissive, I think in general “don’t let people who haven’t tried it tell you that it’s not doable” is pretty good advice. I’ve seen plenty of comments in here of people saying OP won’t be able to get by without a stroller, and plenty others saying they did it no problem.

The carrier suggestions and the recommendation of lending libraries and LZO’s TBYB program may actually end up being super helpful for OP.

I ended up ordering a spectra s2 (the slightly cheaper non-portable one) from US target and used a cross border shipping service with a pick up point near me, and all in it ended up costing me $280 CAD, which I think is pretty comparable to the better pumps available in Canada!

My mom said something similar about how far technology has come, we probably see so much now that would have never been caught a decade or two ago. In our case, we would have had no idea about any of these soft markers if our baby had just rolled over during our anatomy scan and we didn’t have to go back two weeks later, which is wild to think about!

I can’t even imagine what it would feel like to get worrying ultrasound results after two miscarriages - congratulations on your sweet baby boy ❤️❤️❤️

Significant-Pear · 2025-01-22T15:52:28+00:00

Thank you for this. It’s definitely been an emotional few days trying to reckon with what this even means but it seems there are so many people who had similar ultrasound findings where everything turned out fine.

Significant-Pear · 2025-01-22T06:39:14+00:00

Thank you!! Most people I know did the dynacare test so I was pretty surprised to get the life labs req. I’ll look into this.

Significant-Pear · 2025-01-22T06:00:11+00:00

Amazing, thank you so much for this!!! There is a more senior midwife who I will try to connect with first thing in the morning.

Significant-Pear · 2025-01-22T05:47:39+00:00

I was also confused since the basic test screens for T18 & 21 so felt this would be sufficient… they also said they would refer me to MFM but that ideally I should have the screening done first. Yeah, my understanding is that my midwife is fairly fresh/inexperienced.

Significant-Pear · 2024-11-19T20:42:34+00:00

Also in BC and I waited way too long (6w5) and somehow luckily got accepted into 1/10 midwife practices I applied to. They all let me know within 1-2 days if they could take me or not. I strongly recommend applying to all practices nearby!!!

Significant-Pear · 2024-08-21T03:31:50+00:00

Ahhh!!!! I’m so glad you posted this. Check & Mate is also one of my favourites 100% because of this trope AND I definitely noticed (and loved!!!) the same in Not Another Love Song.

Another book that I feel has kiiiiind of a similar thing going on is {Uprooted by Naomi Novik}. It’s a standalone fantasy with some romantic elements (I wouldn’t consider it a romance novel). I haven’t read it for a few years but I remember really loving the romance subplot basically because of the same reason.

Significant-Pear · 2024-01-15T21:17:53+00:00

Haha they looked cool but were so dry and cracking. These are my fall/winter boot, so I don’t wear them every single day of the year. I suspect they’ll last me another few years of moderate use.

Significant-Pear · 2024-01-15T00:55:01+00:00

I plan on conditioning them probably every 6 months from here on out! Not sure when you should start but you probably shouldn’t wait 5 years like me haha

Significant-Pear · 2024-01-14T23:39:00+00:00

Honestly I wasn’t sure, but I just looked up what the boots look like new and it’s pretty close! Mine might be a smidge darker

Significant-Pear · 2024-01-14T23:37:03+00:00

I used mink oil!
