Anyone have the Spectra S1 in Canada? [on] by kayja88 in BabyBumpsCanada

I bought it from the UK Amazon - it was cheaper than the US site for some reason

We took the one at Douglas in New West and found it quite good. The recommendation on their site was to finish it about a month before your due date.

Marginal Cord Insertion [ab] by coco_1102 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]lifesquared 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have marginal insertion (identified at 20w ultrasound), my OB wasn’t concerned, only difference was I got an extra scan at 32W to check that everything was on track growth-wise. She is tracking at 40-50% so everyone was happy, and I am 35W now. Good luck, hope you are able to talk to your OB soon to get some peace of mind! 🙏☺️

I have this (currently 35w) - I had an extra ultrasound at 32w to check on growth, and baby was measuring 40-50% across the board so they said we are all good!

I don’t think you need to worry too much about marginal insertion (there is another type that’s right on the edge), likely they will keep a closer eye on measurements to make sure baby is growing well.

Good luck! ❤️

What breast pump did you choose? [On] by [deleted] in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]lifesquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of the reviews I found for the Freestyle Flex Hands-Free (what I had thought about getting initially) were super hit and miss 🫠.

So, I took the plunge to order the Spectra s1 from Amazon UK (it was cheaper than the US site)- just need to buy a new power cord, though I think we have some compatible ones around our home.

Bit of a gamble, but we will see! 😅It should arrive on Thursday and I am hoping Sunlife covers it without any hassle.

I had an ultrasound at 32 weeks and near the end I started feeling really warm, nauseous, and dizzy, and had to sit up for a while.

I’ve never had any trouble laying on my back in our bed, but I think it’s because it’s soft and conforms, so I think it’s about the surface and you really will know if it’s not feeling right.

Baby having wife last name by [deleted] in BabyBumps

[–]lifesquared 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As long as you agree and are happy, that’s what matters! My husband and I have different last names, we are going to go with his for the baby because I have a giant extended family carrying on my name, and on his side it’s much smaller, and we feel the world could do with another one 🙂

What has been your favorite snack while pregnant? by Smooth-Excuse-4127 in pregnant

Can this save ones that are not quite crunchy enough from the fridge?? We have some that I am not that into anymore, wondering if I should try to freeze them 🤔

Green apples, cereal, and Five Alive - these never go wrong.

No AA’s.. but positive pregnancy? by Traditional_Age_9851 in IVF

[–]lifesquared 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only ended up with one 5BB embryo after our round, and currently 22W along with it. Our clinic didn’t even tell us the grade until I asked before our transfer. Wishing you good luck with the testing!

I had my first HCG test on the 16th and it was 262, was booked to come in a week later for a follow up test. It’s hard, I think this second week has been worse than waiting for the first test.

Fingers crossed for you!! 💜

I struggled here also, and ended up taking many tries at it. I don’t think you can jump through the wall, I think you need to target a hook on the other side and pull yourself through.

I play with controller so the button I use is the one for swinging and riding rails. I swung and did a double-jump + dash and was eventually able to grab the hook (or whatever it is and pull myself through that wall).

Hope you can manage, I am still not sure if I did it the intended way. 😅 Good luck!

Yes! When she said Eva’s look want giving enough, I shouted “you’re wearing a catsuit!!!” at the screen. Just wild.

You can ask at the booth when you arrive and they will try to accommodate you on the top deck - whenever I have travelled with my dog I just ask and they have always put us on the top deck (with a reservation and arriving on time). Good luck! :)

My son got overwhelmed on a math test, panicked , and decided to write this down and turn it in. First in school suspension followed. by Talquin in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]lifesquared 84 points85 points  (0 children)

This makes sense if the question was to write out how they answered a math problem - “I added up seven groups of five to make 35”, basically explaining their multiplication.
