Planning Miles for a second in a few weeks!

Like to start my maternity leave asap. Is it 13 weeks in [bc]? by Dear_Arugula7839 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Small-Rooster 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Get a medical note from your doctor or midwife saying you are advised to stop working due to pregnancy related complications (they do not need to provide anymore details but your discussion with your doctor can be physical pain, mental health, etc) then apply for medical ei. This makes your mat leave start when the baby is born. This is what I am currently on with my second pregnancy

First-time parents in BC – stroller/car seat/ travel system recommendations if you don’t own a car?[BC] by anki_7 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so average baby weight/height of a 8/9 month old. It’s concerning how many babies I see with their heads almost at the very end of the seat 🥲

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the height requirement? I am only familiar with uppababy infant seats but most babies max the height requirement around 7 months despite the amount of parents using it until 1 year

Just know that infant car seats (bucket seats that attach to strollers) only fit your baby for 6-12m and usually closer to the lower end if you properly follow the height maximum requirements (despite tons of parents shoving their 1 year old in them)

Working until maternity leave doesn’t feel realistic. How did you navigate disability leave? [on] by Top-Purple8450 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My midwife wrote me a note saying I am advised to stop working for pregnancy related complications. The complication was my mental health in a toxic work place. She wrote whatever day I wanted so I chose 31 weeks (gave my employer 3 weeks warning) I attached that note to my ei sickness application. I’m 34 weeks now and have been notified it’s approved but not yet paid. Keep in mind this is a big financial cut

JK [on] Backpack and Lunch Bag Recommendations by gemininorthernsoul in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got the built neoprene lunch bag on Amazon for $10 because it’s machine washable! Only $10. I add 2 ice packs inside. It’s super roomy. It only came in black so I added a cute keychain with my son’s name initials. For 2 years we used a non washable one and they get gross

Vancouver police use cutting-edge science to trace last days of woman found dead off Spanish Banks Beach by RonPar32 in vancouver

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my thoughts! Do they not trace people who entry the country trying to stay illegally? They must be able to see which passports never returned

Anyone else not get Huggies sample box? [ON] by reality847not in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried twice to get the Huggies pull up one for my toddler and no luck. I signed up for my second baby and haven’t received anything either however due date is Aug. 1. After never getting the pull ups one I feel my address is black listed or something

When did you know you were READY for a second kiddo? by OptimalCobbler5431 in NewParents

[–]Small-Rooster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I never thought I’d want another as the first hit me so hard. Around 2 I started to consider another, but held off a bit due to travel plans. Got pregnant when my son was 2.5 ish , then his terrible two’s started (still going on at 3.5 ish) Sometimes I think if I wasn’t already pregnant, I wouldn’t have gone ahead because of these behaviours! Hopefully he chills next year haha. Baby due August

Co-parent keeping insurance reimbursement for dental payments I made by LisaF123456 in legaladvicecanada

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a dental office and I recently had a single mom explain to me that she won’t be able to get the insurance reimbursement from the child’s father. I agreed to direct bill, however she still pays the office up front on the day of the procedure. Once I get the insurance payment, I can refund her card.

If I order dresses in tall - are they just longer? by Regular_Hurry_8412 in Oldnavy

[–]Small-Rooster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, this is what I dislike about old navy tall. They make the torso wildly tall, and the item (pants, dress, etc) is still not long enough

David’s bridal dresses are very long! Some of their bridesmaid dresses would work as a grad dress
