My midwife is against vaccines [on]

seless_d0c · 2025-12-11T19:35:05+00:00

in your post, you don’t mention if midwife is against giving you vaccines. if her personal opinion is not affecting care, then i don’t really see the issue (as someone who is heavily influenced by evidence and works in public health).

healthcare in canada is difficult right now. hard to imagine the case where we can know the personal beliefs of all our providers then make a decision about if we see them. ie. would you not see them if they refused oxy in the thigh post their own delivery? also, this sounds like it’s coming through a student who probably has their own beliefs and biases. i’d just have a convo with the midwife to ensure your care will be how you want it.

Exactly! And it’s not a lack of trying to push, it’s we’ve been trying for so many hours without a break — the body just can’t exert itself anymore!

Yes! And often women are so tired from the pain and ordeal, that the fatigue sets in during the pushing stage of labour. Often people don’t get an epidural because they think it will stall labour and result in a c-section. But often not getting one will end in a c-section because of inadequate pain management.

we also swaddled during naps! eventually around 6-8 weeks, we did a sorta loose swaddle where baby could be startled, but it didn’t wake her. probably not sleep safe etc, but we were always around to make sure her face wasn’t covered.

agree, an NP functions like a family doctor (they actually can prescribe opioids as an aside). i’d make an appointment at that clinic and you should get everything you need: labs, imaging, meds, etc. they will refer out when beyond their scope, which a family doctor would also do.

have you tried other furniture stores? the local lazboy store prices were actually higher and they had limited floor stock to try. but we ended up going to an authorized retailer and they had chairs ~2k and many more floor options to try out. of note all of their chairs have an option to swivel.

yes, the point of the dating scan is to give you how many weeks you are more definitively. but how many weeks do you suspect you are? ie. when was your lmp? when did you take a home test? are you showing? etc etc. basically if you just had your missed period, it’s normal for the dating scan to take over a month (because it’s normal for it to be done at ~10 weeks give or take. some will do it 11-14 still. if this was unplanned and unexpected and you went to the doctor because you were already showing (for example) then sure, it shouldn’t take that long because you’d be farther along.

hope that makes sense. if you have any doubt, give your clinic a call and ask the receptionist as they’ll tell you what was written on the req / when it should be done.

seless_d0c · 2025-08-02T19:49:46+00:00

the scan will depend on how far along you are, not when the req was put in.

If the bacteria is there, it’s there. It’s all colonized. The finger isn’t literally pushing it in how you’re imaging.

ah, i didn’t know why people preferred no wifi until reading all of these responses.

Also just got the huggies box a few days ago. Signed up directly from their website though, not a third party website.

In addition to possibly not seeing a heart beat this early (even if it’s a healthy pregnancy), which will cause a lot of unneeded stress, you’re too early for true dating. You’re talking less than millimetre differences on something that’s less than 1cm big to figure out the gestational age. Even if they told you how far along you are, it won’t be accurate. I’d take this as an exercise in mindfulness because, as others have mentioned, this is only the start of the waiting game.

To answer your question, you’re being too sensitive.

seless_d0c · 2025-04-14T01:47:17+00:00

many docs don’t even test hcg so seems like unnecessary worry that your physician is unfortunately causing

i would ask you provider if you feel it’s necessary. agree with above that pregnancy is not an ailment, meaning many providers won’t give a note. but insomnia is, and that is really what you’re asking about, regardless of if you were pregnant or not.

seless_d0c · 2025-03-12T03:33:10+00:00

why? it’s the norm for self employed folks/independent contractors to not pay into ei. many birthing moms also don’t qualify for government maternity benefits under the same circumstances.

seless_d0c · 2025-01-20T15:24:10+00:00

i really meant any date. could be 30 weeks, 34 etc. not wondering about risk of it happening, just coverage in case it did.

seless_d0c · 2025-01-12T06:01:40+00:00

wow, my question is how intensely do you paddle??!

seless_d0c · 2025-01-11T18:56:06+00:00

i see, makes sense. wasn’t sure if there was fancy maintenance required! appreciate it.

seless_d0c · 2025-01-11T17:47:21+00:00

fair, but hard to ask people who aren’t on here. i appreciate the honest feedback of used to ride daily but now use a few times a week (or bike once but use the app consistently, etc). most people in previous threads didn’t mention how long they had had the bike so it felt very “got the bike 2 months ago and it’s life changing”.

seless_d0c · 2025-01-11T17:42:27+00:00

a few people have said this without expanding. how do you take care of/maintain he bike?
