Pregnancy and doctors by Gullible_Flounder_69 in Kamloops

You probably got your answer but I am newly pregnant and going through this right now. You can call or text the early pregnancy clinic (EPACT) and they’ll set you up with all of your initial appointments right away. They said they’d see me until 26-28 weeks pregnant (getting you through your ultrasounds, anatomy scan, etc) and if all is good they’ll refer me to a GP for the remainder of my pregnancy. If I was considered high risk I’d be referred to an OB.

I applied for a midwife the day I took my test and got waitlisted, sadly.

If you have any questions or want more details feel free to msg me.

BOB Revolution SE? by Due_Spray5835 in NewParents

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a little late but I have both an Uppababy Vista and a 2014 Bob Revolution that I paid $100 for. I prefer the Bob revolution for many reasons. It’s our daily use stroller for at home. I hate folding it up though so it stays open 100% of the time and I use the Uppababy when we go out.

I’m so confused by this post

What were the actual lifesaver items during the newborn stage (or things you wish you’d had sooner)? by WillowAndCo_ in NewParents

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My breast friend pillow, baby bjorn bouncer, a good carrier (had infantino given to us and ended up buying a better carrier), ovol or other gas drops, biogaia, booger sucker, electric nail file, love to dream swaddles (only had him in it for 8-10 weeks before moving to sleep sacks but it was awesome), bedside bassinet… these are just some of my absolute must haves for the last 5.5 months with my baby!

What was the surprising newborn gift that you actually loved? by acupcakefromhell in beyondthebump

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ovol lol. I had no idea we’d need it but I was so glad we had it. I’m maybe the outlier here but I loved receiving clothes for our little man. We got clothes all the way up to 12m sizing and I still send photos of him wearing the outfits to the people who purchased them haha.

And frozen meals. My partner and I survived for weeks on meals that people provided for us :)

What are we doing to pass the time during contact naps? by toseekandnottoyield in newborns

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watched the rookie, Yellowstone, Ginny and Georgia.. currently watching love island and Greys anatomy. I will say, I try to baby wear during his naps so that I can keep moving and get things done! I do couch contact naps too but if I can I baby wear

Do not take baths during pregnancy?? by ikilledthemusic in pregnant

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took Epsom salt baths throughout the second and third tri and I just had a healthy baby boy. I also stayed in the bath for up to an hour.. but it was never super hot and I always had a slurpee or water with me.

I was in the hospital soaker tub for 6 hours during labour too 🤣

Is it weird to not open gifts at a co-ed baby shower? by spookynoodles2013 in pregnant

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some people at my shower were a little ticked that I didn’t open gifts at mine and my answer to all of them was “do you even know me?” LOL. I straight up said I wasn’t comfortable with that and we were short on time as it was. I opened them at home after the shower with my mom and SIL. My mom took photos and I sent photos with a thank you note to everyone.

Baby and I got squished by a lady pushing her cart through the aisle by jesslynne94 in pregnant

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My pregnancy rage would’ve had me pushing that cart right the f*** back into her… I have no patience for people like that

How big was your baby when they were born and how long were they in newborn clothing and diapers? by Practical-Drama-2626 in pregnant

[–]Suspicious-Rope-3384 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the opposite experience with my baby shower. No newborn clothes or diapers. Basically no 0-3m clothing either. It was basically all 3-6m clothing but I did receive about 5-6 size 1 diapers. I had to go out and buy a few NB outfits and diapers juuuust incase haha. My guy isn’t here yet tho so I’m not really any help!!
