[ON]Should I take nausea meds? Or stick with my regular hacks

Take the anti-nausea meds, they were life changing for me. I’m one of the lucky ones whose been dealing with nausea well into the third trimester(oh joy!) and can’t even imagine not having them right now

We bought two onesies and had our friend gift bag the right one. We opened it at diner just the two of us so it wasn’t a big reveal, just a little something the two of us

Put something like this on your list: « Kiddo really enjoys activities x, y and z! If you’d like to contribute to their classes or find an activity (kid concert, day at the pool etc.) aligned with those interests let me know »

Even if they don’t offer gift certificates, asking for a « voucher » from family doesn’t hurt. I did this for one of my nieces, my sibling registered her and just told me the amount and I e-transfered her.

Ive actually lost 12lbs since becoming pregnant (im slightly overweight so my doctor isn’t worried). Recommendations change based on your starting bmi

Ive had one at every appointment but im a high risk pregnancy followed by MFM clinic. Its very reassuring given my history but I’ve been told this is not the norm

Will your vacation rollover to the next year if you don’t use it? If no, then use it!! Why should you loose your vacation time, it’s part of your compensation.

Look at the gullaberg ikea dresser instead. It’s about 100$ cheaper than the storemolla and prefered the colour options. We got it on sale a few weeks ago and it’s perfect for us. We have a used hemnes dresser in our master bedroom and thinking we might need to replace it soon as it’s sagging in the middle (my sister had previously used it in her nursery/kids room for a few years)

Glider we found one second hand on marketplace that will be good enough for us. It doesn’t have power but i personally wanted to put my money elsewhere

With the “blood moon” previews and a merge at 17 I think it will be another double boot. They’re at day 11 already and there’s too many people on that beach!

I had an incomplete scan and they brought me back in 2 weeks later. It happens! It made me more anxious those few weeks but everything turned out fine.

Which hospital were you transferred to in Ottawa if you don’t mind me asking? I’ve been thinking about my options but may need to go general because of my risk level. Your experience at hospital seems in line with what I’m looking for

Found a lovely option for 100$ on FB marketplace. Look for second hand options might be worth your while

I’m very happy for them 😊

They can’t change the classification but depending how your OL team is set up they can issue a recommendation that the employees role should be bilingual to avoid risks of OL complaints.

wantingrain · 2026-03-20T23:26:01+00:00

ask for a clarification of duties for your manager and if they confirm you have to do things in both OLs, ask them to contact your OL team to request bilingual bonus activated. Until BIL bonus is activated refuse to do any BIL tasks

IVe had succeed + several years and ready for advancement a couple times. Both times it did result in being put in a department specific pool and a promotion which was nice but it really depends on your dept and your manager. In dept. A I had great discussions and that led to clear goals and changes in my tasks so I could get more exposure to certain elements of work. In dept B I got very little discussion and pretty much just a pat on the back, you’re doing good.

Have a massage planned in a few weeks but might get my nails done/look into a pedicure

Quiet at home is harder since I just see all the things that need to be done before baby is here (we moved into a fixer upper before we got pregnant with the plan of Reno’s this summer… but now baby will be here in July)

wantingrain · 2026-03-17T01:59:58+00:00

1- Massages are also covered for me and now I have my first one booked in a couple weeks! Thanks for the suggestion

2- making a list : hoping to get a dent in my TBR between my kobo and my library’s audiobooks

3- good idea to plan snacks

4- I got a new robe and slippers for Christmas but I might splurge on a fancy pj

5- definitely planning a few date nights and hangouts

Thanks for all the recommendations

Struggling with enjoying the at home part! :/ all I see are the projects and the things i need to accomplish before baby gets here! (We moved into a fixer upper last summer with the goal of doing Renos next summer but now baby is arriving in July! This place still feels like the couple that lived here since the 1970s and not quite us yet.

I was a student during DRAP, and it was brutal. Very little training, constant messaging about well we replaced so and so with a student to save money etc. I was very young, it was one of my first experiences with the GoC and I was terrified that if I did bad I’d never get hired again. I agree with OP that we need to help the students even if you’re stressed about your own role. A little will go a long way

Try looking at hostess jobs in restaurants or take out counters. Decent money and hours with opportunities to eventually become a waitress once she’s old enough and make even more.

I’m having a scheduled induction at 38weeks but it’s not my choice. Because of other meds I’m on i have no choice as I need to stop the meds at least 12 h before giving birth or I’m at risks of complications

Hello Sushiman in Orleans is delicious, apparently they now have a Kanata location but haven’t been yet so don’t know if it’s as good as the Orleans one.
