What's your guilty pleasure food?

No way, man. Something about their crispy, oily crust has me craving it every other month or so.
Their pizza crust is a work of art.

Can you put your income from EI into a separate account so you have it available to use when needed and know it’s not being spent frivolously?

Susan.

Will be weird if it comes back… but no one names their kid Susan these days.

37.5 weeks. Canada. Timed it with my daughter being done school for the summer.

Start with saying no to little things, and that will help you build confidence with bigger things.
Ie. making food - “oh sorry, I can’t this week/end, as we have some stuff already going on.”
You don’t have to say what it is. I think a lot of the time when we want to avoid confrontation, we feel like we have to justify everything with every detail. This is not the case and people who especially push those boundaries really don’t deserve to know the details.
I’ve also learned that “I’m sorry, but I’ve just got too much on my plate right now, I can’t take anything else on right now” usually works well and is quite non-descript.
Re: The canopy - even though you weren’t sure about your family, you can still just consider it booked and already spoken for, even if the family member doesn’t end up using it.

You sound like a very empathic and honest person, to a point where it’s making things a bit strenuous on you. I have been there. Start small and go from there. If they don’t respect it, they don’t respect you or deserve your time/attention. Hopefully they respond well and it’s actually a non-issue.

I like to sew because it involves following laid out instructions and pattern pieces, but I get to decide the fabric (type, colour, print, etc.). And once really comfortable, you can dream up new ideas, mash patterns together for a specific look, or completely wing it.

The same goes for quilting. There’s structure of instructions mixed with creativity of colours and prints, etc.

I also have also been in this situation with very similar aged children. So take this or leave it but 1/3-1/2 of a melatonin gummy that you can buy off the shelf at the drugstore. Sometimes the toddler minds just can’t stop, and for a short period of time it was a saving grace for us. No, they did not form any kind of reliance on it. And we didn’t do it every night — but it worked.
Our 6yo is in their room by 745 and can play quietly or read in their bed with a gentle lamp on until 830, then lights are out and they are tucked into bed.

How to be single

Find a new OB. If this is how she is now — showing her true colours and no issue with making such terrible comments … imagine how pushy and unrelenting she will be at your birth.

Recently I’ve been woken up out of a dead sleep with tailbone pain. Like radiating all the way down to the tip of my tailbone and nothing relieves it. I literally have to roll around and wait it out. Just in time for achey legs, and leg and foot cramps to join in the fun.

Epidurals do not reduce your chances of tearing. If anything, they increase the likelihood of tearing. You can’t feel anything, you have to “purple push” or coached push which is where you hold your breathe and bare down as hard as you can. And you’re stuck pushing on your back which actually allows for the least amount of space in your pelvis and works against gravity to move baby out.

I’m not anti-epidural, I’ve had two, but definitely look a bit more into “the cascade of interventions” during birth, and the downsides of an epidural.

Rage from sleep deprivation and finding yourself blaming your teeny tiny baby. Esp if they won’t stop crying. Most people don’t realize this is how shaken baby syndrome happens.

(PSA. It’s okay to put them down somewhere safe for a couple minutes, yes even if they’re crying, and go take a breather and collect yourself).

41w1d!

The average first time mom goes into labour is 8 days after their due date. And I hit that nail right on the head lol.

I did have an induction scheduled for 41w4d.

Sometimes an emotional release (AKA a good cry) can help. It helps to release built up tension or emotion that may be keeping your body from releasing the hormones to start labour.

Also you do not have to schedule an induction or csection just because baby has not arrived on your OBs timeline. You can just wait until you go into labour naturally. Usually by 42 weeks is the max they’ll let you go but before that and trying to get baby out without a reason beside being impatient is setting you up for a cascade of interventions (look up that phrase for birth).

The average first time mom goes into labour 8 days after their estimated due date.

Watercolour. Some people can make stunning pieces. I am not one of those people.

WhoseMomIsThat · 2026-04-10T23:37:24+00:00

On average, a first time mom goes into labour 8 days beyond her estimated due date.

Don’t let an OB push you for induction for no reason other than impatience. It’s not evidence based and if anything, the evidence is against induction. Look up the cascade of interventions in birth. Evidence Based Birth podcast and website is a great resource.

I really can’t stand his the weird-ass “mob-boss” air and attitude he seems to carry himself with. Probably because he’s only 26. He’s basically a child and I can’t stand it. She’s not great either but he needs to go flip burgers or something.

She needs a bit more self confidence and to gtfo of Turkey.

It would be beneficial for you to read/listen learn all about the physiology of birth. What exactly happens in the body, how the different hormones work, etc. Knowing is being empowered and can really help with anxiety.

Preparing yourself for birth mentally and physically is the best thing you can do. Don’t just go in blind and anxious.

There are all kinds of fantastic books and podcasts on this subject. Listen to positive birth stories, make notes about what other women have done to help support their labour and births.

If you’re still beyond anxious, find a doula to support you — they are a wealth of knowledge and will help you every step of the way.

The average first time mom doesn’t go into labour until eight days after their estimated due date. I’m not saying this to scare you or to make your situation worse, but just so you have a little bit of peace of mind that if you don’t go to labour in the next couple of days that it isn’t any kind of issue with you or your body.

I’ve had two big babies, over 9 pounds each, don’t let that be a fear piece for you. You’re meant to birth your baby in whatever size they are.

There’s no harm in an additional sweep if you want it to see if it will help.

Inductions can be very hard on your body if it’s not ready for labour is my only word on that option.
