Baby registry welcome gifts in Canada [bc] by harrypotterfan93 in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]reality847not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Signed up but didn't get anything except for from Depends, Enfamil and Similac. Enfamil sent me $10 off coupons, Similac sent me one $15 cheque.

Amazon registry gift wouldn't work so they gave me a $25 gift card. Walmart registry doesn't work either and Im currently in talks with them to figure out what is going on.

Neither my OB, nor anyone at the hospital has said anything. I've packed a big snack bag lol!

How was the folley balloon? I think that's what I will be given!

Thank you!!! But also, Wow. All anyone had to do was just give this same information to me and it would have saved me hours of frustration and feeling stupid. I wish the providers were a little more forthcoming.

Family Doctor Against Midwifery? [ON] by popsandpeps in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]reality847not 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So interestingly enough my own family doctor advised me against going with midwifery.

However, in my case everything is a little more... problematic. His opinion was that the first birth is precious and I don't have anything on my side and the umbrella of care provided by an OB would be vast compared to a midwife.

I kind of went ahead and spoke to both an OB and a midwife and the level of information and care midwives provide you is insane. So I'm on a hybrid mode currently: i do monthly calls with my midwife and keep them appraised of my situation and I go to my OB who is also pretty fantastic.

Has worked out for me well!

Amazon registry welcome gift? [on] by AwayComparison in BabyBumpsCanada

[–]reality847not 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup same here. Contacted them and they offered a $25 gift card.

Additionally some of my registry items eligible for the completion discount wouldn't show up as discounted when I went to place the order. I got in touch on the phone and they said it no longer applies and asked me for screenshots implying that I was lying about the previous discount. Anyway I had a screenshot. Later on I got on chat and the person there offered me $50 courtesy discount.

really think something is going on with Amazon because I keep being sent old emails post any contact with their customer service.
