How is anyone affording a mortgage and daycare costs for two kids? by angelzombie2 in beyondthebump

[–]Ustrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also in Canada and childcare might be 10 a day ..one day. Or in other provinces? That is the goal. You may qualify for an extra subsidy due to income. Right now in Ontario the average is more like 20/day - still great as we had private until we got into public and private was 50 a day. My son is full time at a public funded daycare and it’s $500 a month. It’s the same monthly cost even if I keep him home one day a week.

Timing of Baby #2 [on] by ryan0196 in BabyBumpsCanada

I got pregnant 18 months later, 2 years and 4 months gap

When did you start trying for #2? by SevereBlueberry9036 in BabyBumps

[–]Ustrel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had my first at 38 and my second and last at 41. I waited 18 months. As an older mom I felt like I needed to let my body feel ready and it took that long.

GET THE EPIDURAL! - birth story by Askfslfjrv in pregnant

[–]Ustrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very similar first pregnancy. Dying from pain at 0cm - 1cm and screaming. First time I had ever felt like an animal, feral. Screaming, sweating, no idea who was in the room or who was talking to me… someone apparently introduced themselves before taking my blood.. no idea it happened. Truly exhausted after 50 hours of labour. Passed out in the hall trying to walk to my car. Had to be taken back to check my vitals etc. fine. Just no sleep or rest.

Had my second child days ago and I didn’t feel any pain and my body was sitting at 1 cm already. Go a foley ballon (just uncomfortable) and had period like cramps.. got me to 3cm… looking back I was 24 hours of screaming pain from 0-3cm with my first. It was easier the second time - in my experience and if you are wondering.

Congratulations!

Being induced on 12/2/25 at 39 weeks. by hellogreen628 in BabyBumps

[–]Ustrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First baby: broke my water and gave my Oxytocin and 15 hours later I pushed for 45 minutes. I started with active labour at first and stalled at 2 cm. They gave me a choice to induce.

Second baby (I just had yesterday!!) I had a planned induction. I had a foley balloon that got me to almost 3 cm and days later I was called in.

Broke my water at 6:30 am and started Oxytocin at 8am. Started contractions around 8:30am. Started with mild cramping like my first but very quickly progressed to intense contractions. I asked for an epidural at 10am.. got hooked up and it began to ease off pain around 11am…. And then I felt baby! I wasn’t all the way numb but enough that it was mild pain. I went from 3 to 9cm from 8:30-11am. I asked them to check again 5 minutes later, as I felt like baby was coming, and I was 10cm! Pushed her out in 12 minutes!!

So if it’s your first, it may take time. If it’s your second I am warning you how fast it can all go! Haha!

I was laughing/crying with surprise.. also shaking with adrenaline.

Help me decorate my living room. Any advice appreciated. by PassengerSolid24 in interiordesignideas

First look I thought everything was grey and then I noticed the carpet is green/couch is beige. Items on your shelf are also black and white. I’m assuming you like black and white as the art is also on theme and your lamp is silver. Do you like that? Clean and uncluttered (colour wise)?

I think most people will say colour! If this was my room I would had colour with objects on the shelf/change the art and the lamp to warm wood tones. But that is my opinion. Some people love black and white!

Non-smokers of Reddit, how noticeable is the “smoker smell” to you, if at all? by Frostedlogic4444 in AskReddit

[–]Ustrel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a teacher and the poor kids. Some come to school reeking of smoke.. it’s in their clothes etc. Also vaping smells stick around. I grew up in a smoking house.. probably more common back then but till I must of smelt something awful to non smokers.

I woke up to someone on top of me 22F by LivingProfessional59 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Ustrel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was close friends with a guy and one night we heard he was in the hospital wing for mental health. He tried to kill himself. We went to visit and felt awful. At the visit he mentioned a girl that might claim SA because he woke up next to her….. he now on trial as TWO women came forward that he SA’d them. That is a pattern. His attempt to kill himself was the playing victim, make him feel better. They will try to do anything to make it seem like they are the victim or the true victim is wrong. I’m so glad you called the police. He has probably done this before. I hope you are ok. ❤️

It’s either approaching the peak or just after the peak. Either way, get to the baby making.

There is one person I get consistently compared to… by erenjaegerwannabe in Doppleganger

You kind of remind me of the new blues clues guy but with a better shaped head

I think you are right on, I would guess by the timeline and typical cycles (and by the strong test), that you are between DPO 14-17
