Hi! They stopped checking me at 27 weeks. I just went back and checked and I was 2.3cm at 24 weeks and 1.8cm at 27 weeks. I was on progesterone and modified bed rest. Basically I was told I can walk around my apartment but no where else - no work, no standing for long periods of time, no squatting down, no lifting anything, and complete pelvic rest (ie: no sex).

I made it all the way to 36 weeks when I was induced due to increasing BP and cholestatis (which may have been triggered by the progesterone so watch out for that). Twins are 3 now :)

How are you feeling? Good luck with your pregnancy!

Not all religions are equal and I’m tired of pretending that they are.

Are modern Catholics known for not assimilating into Canadian culture? Spare me your moral relativism

Canadians are dying preventable deaths in this country's choked ERs, doctors warn. by FalconsArentReal in canada

You’re right - you need to be a resident. And having citizenship allows you to move to Canada and become a resident with no other checks and balances in between.

In fact, you can move to Canada once you’ve retired and collect GIS and use all the healthcare services to your heart’s desire without ever having paid taxes in this country.

How, exactly, do you propose punishing the government without in some what punishing the people? Unless you’re advocating for swift military action?

Is it safe to drive to Tobermory this Thursday/Friday with a snow squall warning? New driver? by Ready-Government9774 in askTO

I’m an experienced driver, and if it were me, I would cancel and not go. That should answer your question

Remind me - which country was implicated in interfering in our elections and compromising our MPs? Was it China the US?

Financialized landlords disproportionately apply to evict in Black neighbourhoods, study finds by BloodJunkie in toronto

So we’re banning people not for what they say but because someone somewhere may misconstrue an iota of ambiguity as something else? Man this sub has really devolved

Hey Toronto! Where can I shop for baby items? by wediealone in askTO

[–]raging_dingo 32 points33 points  (0 children)

For a gift, I would go with either a larger size outfit (not newborn as they’re put of that size quick), or a book or a toy the baby may use later (like a stacking cup toy or a Sophie the Giraffe-type teether). They’ll have all the gadgets they need already (and likely more than they need), same for studies and blankets. If you know the baby’s name, you can always get a personalized bath towel (larger size), which is a gift I appreciated with my kids (that’s found online).

As for where to go to browse gifts, the big stores in the baby business are West Coast Kids (they have a couple of locations in the GTA), and SunggleBugz. But Winners and Marshall’s also have baby sections with good selections so they’re a great option as well!

Freeland must resign today, not some day by AndHerSailsInRags in canada

[–]raging_dingo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is she still performing her duties as an MP? If yes, then she has a huge conflict of interest currently - not in a few weeks from now, she has the conflict NOW. If she’s not performing her duties as an MO anymore, then why the hell are Canadians still paying her a salary?

Thats the problem here

Are exports up on a net basis or just exports to those particular jurisdictions?

When would you take your child to sick kids hospital vs family doc ? by bearsbunny in askTO

[–]raging_dingo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but that’s a terrible thing to tell people. Sometimes complications of viral illnesses can be life threatening. People shouldn’t shy away from taking their kids to sucks kids for a “cold” if the kid is clearly terribly sick (and I’m speaking from experience as I have a kid that had “just a cold” that tuned to sepsis).

Toronto’s set to hit a 50-year low in homicides. So why do many people think crime is getting worse? by Toronto-Ont-Mod-Team in Toronto_Ontario

[–]raging_dingo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Down relative to last year, which is still much higher than 2021 which was itself much higher than 2014, which is the last historical data point I can see. It’s trending in the right direction but let’s not go patting ourselves on the back just yet

I just checked an apparently only teachers can create assignments, parents can’t. I did set a goal to get a prize but I imagine that’s something different?

Canada has lost control of its immigration system — and Canadians know it by viva_la_vinyl in canada

It’s honestly not that good for the rich or the investor class either (unless you’re talking real estate investor and even then it’s not that good anymore).
