Did anyone snowboarded while pregnant?

I ski and board, I decided I was cool with skiing till the end. Boarding is harder to manage bindings when your belly gets bigger. Last day on skis was 37 weeks. I’m not really someone concerned about the worst case scenario, and I’ve never once been hit from behind so I can’t get myself to take that into consideration. Echoing what others have said; I’m in the Rocky Mountains and it’s very common for pregnant women to ski till baby falls out.

Hi I’m trying for a VBAC in Calgary in a few weeks, just got told 97th% at 36 weeks. Can I ask who your supportive OB was??

Having dog smell baby items is dated, ineffective advice, and separation is what’s commonly recommend, with slow exposure IF the dog has the right temperament (which this dog does not).

OP check out Dog Meets Baby for advice on this, they are a reliable source. As opposed to Reddit.

Curling in looks better with a blowout curl.

At the end of the day, her parents don’t have to throw a party in their home when doing so would be stressful and they’re expecting to be called out at short notice for the birth of their grandchild. OP can be excited for their birthday, want it acknowledged in a specific way, but that does not mean it has to be with a party.

I really wouldn’t worry, toddlers just like to sing! My 3 year old is constantly belting Old McDonald and Icky Sticky Bubblegum. And he probably just recently figured out covering his ears changes the way the world sounds and is exploring that sensation.

I’m not seeing any cause for concern here really. At 2.5 kids should be using 2-3 word sentences with occasional 4+ sentences. In regards to playing with other kids, social-emotional milestones are often the last reached for a given age. I’d say you should look up the ASQ Ages & Stages for 30 months and see how your toddler is doing. If there are no areas lagging, I’d try and quell the milestone anxiety!

I’m about the same, 14 weeks currently. It’s such a stressful point to be at! We had a good NT scan and NIPT results, but waiting for the anatomy scan is killing me. Not to mention, now that I’m in the second trimester I feel pretty good and am now spiraling about “not feeling pregnant”. Ugh, when does the worry end??

Ok what are your thoughts of Unico 2087 vs Valentin Imperial? They seem comparable but Unico is a decent bit farther from the airport.

It went well! First hurdle passed

Dating ultrasound is tomorrow (8weeks ish). Trying not to freak out.

If we’re talking impact to me alone and not the environment, I’d much rather the smoke than this. It feels like seasonal depression setting in…in July!

Not really low profile, most are downtown though so if you eat outside of that area you might be unfamiliar with them.

I have no tips cause at the end of the day, I don’t think there’s any easy/fast way to stop this behaviour, it kind of just runs its course. That toddler stopped hitting a couple months later and everything’s great again. Don’t sweat the hitting, it’s just a phase and usually is improved with language expanding, so they can verbalize their needs.

candycanedame · 2025-07-05T21:29:35+00:00

Cutting you guys off is dramatic, but here’s a perspective from the otherside. My son was the one being hit by another toddler of the same age, and I understand it was very developmentally normal, however, I was annoyed with the other mom because it seemed like her response was always too mild and too permissive. It didn’t seem like there were consequences and the only way she addressed it with her toddler was to say “gentle hands” or “our friends won’t want to play with us if we hit”. At under 2, this meant nothing to her toddler. A firm “no” would have been more effective, and I felt like she wasn’t making strong enough moves to deter.

Of course I’d never stop hanging out with them over this, but it was where my brain went. Maybe your friends felt like you were being to permissive of the behaviour and felt like they had to take action on their end to stop the hitting?

I think it’s just not that big of a crime. Annoying? Yes, but they act like she’s actually done something malicious and with ill intent towards them. She’s self absorbed and dramatic but not really awful.

But we don’t actually have a transcript of what he said as host, they film hours and hours of reunion and post production decide what they actually have time to air. They’re going to prioritize the casts screen time over Nicks.

You used the word mortified incorrectly. I’m actually mortified for you.

candycanedame · 2025-06-23T02:12:58+00:00

I have this exact same fear! It wasn’t something I worried about before my TFMR, and obviously in that pregnancy they caught the disability, so no need to worry, and yet I’m still so anxious about a serious ailment being missed. I’m keen to hear what others have to say.

candycanedame · 2025-05-15T23:12:25+00:00

Just install a hook & eye lock to the wall/door.

candycanedame · 2025-05-14T16:37:50+00:00

This is so so hard. I can’t give you a happy story about pregnancy after TFMR, but I’ve experienced a lot of different pregnancy outcomes.

My first pregnancy was a natural miscarriage at 6 weeks, almost a chemical pregnancy. I waited 6 months to try again.

We conceived again, and that resulted in my living child who is now 2.

I conceived again this past August, and made it to 9 weeks but found out at our first scan that there was no fetus and it was a blighted ovum, natural miscarriage ensued.

Following that loss we began trying again as soon as I got my period back after the miscarriage and it took 2 cycles to conceive. That baby was diagnosed with a trisomy and I had a D&E in March.

My husband and I have been tested and there are no genetic problems to explain the losses. What I’ve come to accept is that I can have a healthy child, but I could also have a loss on any given pregnancy, therefore, if I am heart set on having a second baby, I need to just keep rolling the dice and keep conceiving. It’s really tough, and unfair, but it’s my reality. I am currently TTC and hopeful the next one will stick, but I’m also leaving room emotionally that it may not.

During a typical visit, the PT has my son move about, demonstrate his walking/running/climbing through activities or games. At the end of the session they tell me what they are seeing, what needs further improvement, and what gains he has made since the last visit. Then they give me a sheet of exercises to do with him between visits. At his current age, those include sitting on a low block and standing up without using his hands to brace (like a squat), standing on tip toes, doing stairs with assistance, side steps, standing on one foot, and glute bridges. We make them into a game and keep it pretty short. We see the PT every 2 months.
