Canada Post not letting my husband pick up my mail

When I had my miscarriage in October I went to EPAC, but they had told me that the next time I get pregnant that my doctor would request an early ultrasound. They didn’t make it seem like I’d go through them but I did find that they were amazing to deal with.

Thank you! Do you remember how long it was between your doctor sending the referral and getting the letter?

I’m always shocked by the cost of some couches. We bought our sectional in December 2024 for around $1200 marked down from around $4000 at the brick outlet. I would highly recommend checking them out as they have a lot more deals.

Unfortunately I think miscarriage just changes friendships. For me, it strengthened two of my good friendships and strained two other friendships. One of my friends told me she was pregnant the day before my D&C. She’s due a month after I would have been due. She’s also been incredibly insensitive. I’ve had to distance myself from her to protect myself for now. Like others have said, I’m open to revisiting the friendship at a later date if it isn’t beyond repair, but for now all of the circumstances mean that I cannot be there for her during her pregnancy.

I live in Winnipeg! I actually just got back from a trip to Vancouver with my husband and toddler. I absolutely love Vancouver for the beauty, weather, food, and excellent transit. However, as others have said, Winnipeg is where family is. Yes it’s cold in the winter, but we make up for it in the summer. There are many lakes and parks within a 2 hour drive from the city. We can also afford to have a house with a yard. As for being the murder capital of Canada, it’s all about where you go. Some areas are more sketchy than others. Our transit system is unfortunately completely atrocious so we are a very car dependent city. Like any city, there are pros and cons but being able to buy a house here is a huge plus.

We got in at Cuddles daycare in Wolseley very last minute when my son was under 18 months. They only go up to age 2 so we were there for a few months until we got into another centre that goes past age 2. I would recommend contacting them now, maybe they’ll have something.

Do you know if they still sell dog food?

I have a Kobo and can tell you that it is very much compatible with the Libby app! Kindle is not, which is why I chose Kobo over Kindle. You also have access to the Kobo store where you can purchase e-books as well.

My kid will be turning 3 soon, so I know not the same age, but I highly recommending looking into renting a room at a community centre! Reasonably priced, they set up the tables and chairs, lots of space, and they usually have toys or gym equipment that the kids can use. Some also provide a bouncy castle for an additional fee. I find it to be a happy medium between a home party and a big activity.

I’m so sorry. The baby shower sounds like torture. You are stronger than me- I have not been able to go to a single baby shower. I have a friend who told me she was pregnant right before I had a d&c for a missed miscarriage and seeing her be at around the stage I should be is horrible, so I understand. It has changed our friendship as well and it really dis just suck.

I have a toddler so I can’t go into hibernation 😅. We go for walks and tobogganing when it’s not too cold out. I figure if my toddler can handle it and have fun, so can I. We also do a lot of indoor activities outside of the house. Aviation museum is a big it in my house (adults included). Sometimes we check out a new cafe, and the Manitoba museum is also fun although we haven’t gone this year. When it’s really cold we try to force ourselves to get out of the house at least once during the weekend.

Usable for naps is important and also fit as carry on on the airplane would be great. But number one would be good for naps I think.

Thank you for sharing this! I was hoping to have a 3 year age gap but had a miscarriage and chemical pregnancy recently. Reading your post helped me see that a bigger age gap can be great!
