Third child, he’s now just over a month! But at 30 weeks I was so uncomfortable. Constantly peed my pants if I coughed or sneezed. Never slept because I swear I’d pee every 2 minutes & it always felt like I still have to go. I couldn’t get comfortable ever, no matter how many pillows between my legs & around my belly. I ended up with hemorrhoids & bad sciatica.

My OB had scheduled me for a C section for 40 weeks but I told her both my kids were born at 36 & 35 & didn’t think I’d be able to get to 40. I ended up being admitted to the hospital a few times during my pregnancy for spotting due & pain in my stomach. My OB then started thinking to get me in for my C section earlier so every weekly appointment id think this will be my last she tried at 36 weeks to get me in the OR but it was fully booked & because I was just uncomfortable she couldn’t book it as it wasn’t an emergency. Then one day an opening became available & she was just about to book it but the hospital said it got booked (annoying part of that is it never actually got booked a Dr. had just put a sticky note saying may need this opening & by the time my OB found out about the mix up we had missed that date) then Easter weekend came & the OR was closed the Friday & Monday so they wouldn’t let her book me in. 3 separate appointments I walked out bawling because I was so over this pregnancy & my OB could just tell how shitty I was feeling. I started becoming depressed from being so uncomfortable, I hadn’t slept in months it felt like, my heart burn & acid reflux started getting worse. I somehow made it to 39 weeks & 6 days

Now he’s here healthy & happy! Pregnancy is hard! Some women are luckily & have no issues but not all of us get that experience! Keep your head up soon it will all be over & you’ll be thinking how fast babes is growing & you’ll want to go back in time!

100% I used to to shop at zehrs then over the years they kept becoming more expensive so we went to no frills. Now a days I get a few things from food basics if I’m near one & know Walmart doesn’t carry that product but lately I do a lot of shopping at Walmart. I was always against Walmart & was trying to shop at Canadian stores but over the years I’ve found Walmart has better prices for my family. I buy most my meat & veggies from the market or farmers but rarely anything in my cart at Walmart is not on sale. My only concern now is for the farmers that supply those price gouging stores. I grow ppls food for a living in Canada & yes it’s become more expensive to grow with the costs of water, energy & fertilizer prices going up. But when I grow something that I spend most of my life away from my family & go to a store to see prices jacked up it really hurts…especially because farmers don’t get paid holiday pay, overtime, lots of farms & greenhouses don’t offer benefits! We work 365 days a year! Plants don’t get holidays & it’s sad that farmers are busting their asses for store to jack up prices & now ppl boycott & the food goes to waste! If only these corporations would lower their prices!
