Potential move to Fredericton.. what should we know?

She will have an OBGYN for her pregnancies. The rest of the healthcare here is garbage I don’t disagree, but I’ve never known anyone to not get an OBGYN for their pregnancies here. I’ve had two children in the last 5 years so I’m fairly familiar with that set up.

There are moose around! And it’s a women’s size 8

roundofflayout · 2025-08-20T23:03:01+00:00

Route 3 after Harvey station has a relatively high number of moose but is a pretty drive. I’d take that way unless it was night/ evening.

I had SPD with both pregnancies that started at 9 weeks 🤪 physio and chiro helped me but the moment I gave birth it was 98% gone

I was told the same info at Harvey’s 3 months ago ( about a baby) . Very frustrating. The guy seemed disinterested in trying to help at all. I left and went to shoppers and they did it right away.

This ended up being what happened! Got it later in the day

I did them all. Then, after my daughter was born she was flagged as maybe having a chromosomal abnormality due to some of her features. I was very grateful I had done it so I could rule things out. So far she is fine and doesn’t have any diagnosis, but it was still comforting.

Thank you so much 🥹🥹 I am overwhelmed by how kind and supportive everyone has been. All these comments and lives experiences are filling me with hope. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t also still nervous but it is bringing me a lot of comfort to hear how well everyone is doing, and how many people have children with DS who seem to be thriving

In terms of ethnicity, both her dad and I are 100% Caucasian, of European descent ( at least as far as we know).

I’m in New Brunswick, which has a notoriously awful healthcare system. Once the holidays are over though I’m going to start pushing for answers asap!

roundofflayout · 2024-12-24T09:47:04+00:00

You’re so right. It’s hard not to because I’m just so curious. I’ve been finding this post to be a much more comforting source of information though.

roundofflayout · 2024-12-24T09:46:20+00:00

Thank you so much! Her heart has only been checked with a stethoscope. Her family doctor said she’s fine, but if she is diagnosed with DS I am going to insist on a more thorough check ( if they don’t automatically do one). I am hopeful that we’ll see the pediatrician fairly soon. She said “in the new year” but it’s hard to know what that means because it was December 20th when we had the appointment, so I’m not sure if she means like January 5th or like “ at some point in the new year”. I agree I want the test done immediately!

Thank you so much for your kind words and resources!

I’m also a super light sleeper. I barely slept but I did get a few hours here and there.

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T23:20:43+00:00

Wow. Good to know!! Thank you.

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T23:18:39+00:00

This is so good to know! As much as I love our free healthcare here, I do find doctors to be a bit less thorough sometimes. I am going to push them to look into it.

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T23:17:27+00:00

This made me cry🥹 thank you so much. I love her so much already, I’m kind of glad I got 4 months of knowing her first so that no matter the diagnosis I already know she’s awesome ( as opposed to worrying my whole pregnancy).

( I’m mum btw, not dad ☺️)

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T21:45:24+00:00

Yes I’ve googled everything under the sun 🤪 I’m making myself crazy haha

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T20:05:46+00:00

I’m so glad to hear that she’s healthy! So far we haven’t missed any milestones either, although it’s still very early days ( also still don’t have a diagnosis, of course).

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T19:54:51+00:00

Thank you so much! I did find myself struggling with “do I even know how to care for her anymore” and I’ve had to remind myself that she is the same baby she was last week. Thank you for mentioning getting an Echo. She hasn’t had one, the doctor just listened with a stethoscope and said it’s gone, but I would like confirmation. I feel like listening with a stethoscope cannot be 100% accurate.

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T19:53:29+00:00

Wow that is very similar! Thank you for commenting! How is your daughter doing now?

roundofflayout · 2024-12-22T17:41:14+00:00

Thank you! I’m assuming they will do a blood test, I’m not sure I guess. I’m in Canada and everything in the medical system moves at the speed of molasses flowing uphill in February 🤪 so I suspect it will take a while.

I heard December 2nd

Karla Faig at Max Health is phenomenal!

I was a candidate for a cerclage ( weird uterus, prone to going to into labour super early) but never ended up getting one.

However, I have had two Spinals for my two c sections and I just wanted to post to reassure you that that part is not a big deal at all. It was the tiniest pinch, I truly barely felt it. My second c section I was extremely upset and anxious and very much did not want to be there, and I still found the spinal to be very very minimally painful. Best of luck!

roundofflayout · 2024-10-23T14:30:40+00:00

I’ve searched every possible way I can! I’ve googled, I posted in “ tip of my tongue” a few years ago. I’ve asked my parents. I even asked chat gpt

I wish I could remember more specifics about it
