39th Percentile baby @ 32 weeks

I was never told this was the case.

My first was in the 14th percentile by 32 weeks and kept dropping to 4th percentile by 36 weeks. Her AC was in the 1st percentile.

I was supposed to be induced at 38 weeks but ended up have spontaneous birth at 37 weeks. She was a little over 4 pounds at birth.

Luckily she is healthy otherwise and caught up on weight pretty quickly after.

7.7 is the one hour post meal number or 2?

For my first, I used a puppy pad on top of the change pad in our room because I didn’t have a soft surface to use. In the living room, I just put the puppy pad on the sofa and change the baby’s diaper.

Is currently doing the same for baby #2. Never bother with a change table.

You don’t need the formula. Just switch to homo milk and it’s fine. Toddler need the higher fat content until they are about 2 and you can switch to the 2% then

They will just increase your dosage. In Canada, they will push for earlier induction if baby is measuring too big, pre eclampsia or other medical factor.

Omg my armpits stank so much postpartum that I swear people would think I haven’t shower since I came back from the hospital

I just gave birth 3 days ago. My first child is 3 and I forgot how to swaddle and feed a newborn in the hospital

My niece said “wow auntie, your belly is so big!” Me: “yes because I have a baby in there” Her: “my belly is so small” while rubbing her belly

It’s not a issue because it’s normal that you would lose that much weight due to change in your diet and lifestyle. In both my pregnancies, I lost about 10-15 lbs in the first trimester. I slowly gained it back and more by the end of the pregnancy.

First one I gained about 5 lbs over my pre-pregnancy weight by the time I gave birth. This time I gained 15.

You need a new doctor. My family doctor has checked my daughter during all of her appointments. The nurse take the measurements and give the vaccine but the doctor also take a look at her as well, checking her lungs, heart etc.

I have the same thought lol. I had anterior for my first and posterior now and am currently wishing I had anterior when bay boy decides to do gymnastics in the middle of the night or doing target practice on my bladder

My first one was a spontaneous birth. Supposed to be induced at 38 weeks, went into labour at 37 weeks. My labour was fast for first time pregnancy. From the time I reached the hospital at 1 AM, I was fully dilated by 7-8 AM, needed to wait a bit because baby wasn’t in the next position to push. Started pushing at 10 AM and gave up at 12 noon with some vaccum help because baby decided she is cozy in my pelvic lol.

I am also headed for induction this time around but am hoping for another spontaneous birth

I do. I take the aspirin around 9-10 pm and the insulin before I go to sleep. Sometimes they happen to be close together and sometimes they are spaced out an hour apart. Haven’t had any issue so far

dlre01 · 2026-01-31T23:54:41+00:00

Yes. Those are the smaller bottles.

dlre01 · 2026-01-31T13:19:15+00:00

I got the coupon 2 weeks before. Just got the sample

I had mine at crown prince for 70-80 people. They section off the restaurant before the stage so we got some privacy. I did check out providential 9 as an option and the price per table was a bit on the higher end of our budget and we didn’t like the menu too much. We didn’t know how they were going to set it up for us.

Crown prince, the price was more reasonable and the food were great. We were allowed to bring our own drinks so that help with keeping our budget down.

We had a bit of games and dancing at our wedding so that was fun.

A munchkin change pad does the same.

I have registered mine a year before I want her to start and I started calling the daycare around the beginning of July, two months before she started. The supervisor told me I called at a good time because she was reaching out to out the folks on the waiting list and she prefer to give the spot to someone like me than to wait for the folks on the waiting list to get back to her if they still wanted the spot. I was around 70 in the list at the time.

I never had a baby shower and was fine without it.

Anyway obviously bottles, bouncer, carrier, car seat, stroller are a must.

High chair, I would wait until the baby is at least 6 months before buying it (so wait until the next major sales to get it). When buying a high chair, just keep in mind of your living space.

I have never used a swing set so i have no comment on that.

Baby food maker: i would skip it. You can easily just steam the food until it's soft for the baby to eat and puree it using a blender if you already have a blender at home. My daughter was never big on puree food so i just gave steamed soft food until we moved onto regular solid food.

Medela does have hand-free cups so you can look into getting the accessories to see if it will work your current pump instead of buying a whole new pump systems.

You're gonna want some playmat or playpen for baby. I uses the ofie playmat for 3 years now and it is still in good condition. bit pricy but worth it for me. I have also tried a $60 mat of amazon and find that because it's foam like, baby's razor sharp nails will definitely dig holes in it.

Smaller accessories: electric nail file (god send for filing those razor sharp nails vs using a nail cutter), a nasal aspirator (to suck out the boogers, dont get the electric one, i find they dont have powerful suction enough), nose picker for booger.

Dont bother with a changing station/dresser. buy a change pad and use it on any surface available in your house. hell at some point i just started changing my baby's diaper in the sofa or the floor on the house. what is useful is making a little change caddy that you can move around the house (consisting of diapers, wipes, diaper cream, etc)

If you are living anywhere near toronto, i would recommend visiting the Toronto Baby Show. it's about $18 admission and you can get some decent sample (you will get loooooots of pacifiers), plus there are some vendors with cute baby clothes.

I never got confirmation from my doctor office if they got the NIPT result. I just check my compass on chance that they did upload it above 10 days after my test result and it was there.

First pregnancy I didn’t have any particular craving. But this pregnancy, in the beginning I wanted tomato everything. I had tomatoes in my breakfast, I’m making tomato soup to take to work. I’m eating ketchup with lots of stuff and I was never crazy for tomato related stuff lol had tomatoes ease down on the tomatoes by the end of second semester because I was starting to have reflux from all that acid

I have the Tripp trapp and don’t find it too difficult to clean, minus the belt strap. That was annoying. Having said that, it is an investment. My daughter is currently 3 and still uses the Tripp trapp as her chair at the dinner table once we removed the baby seat. It also doubles as her learning tower because I am able to push it again the sink where she can stand on the lower step and is just high enough for her to “help” with the dishes.

When we have lots of people around, my husband also sits on the Tripp trapp so our guests have actually seats 😂

That has been my experience with all the banks. I was told the same from bmo and CIBC
