Seems pointless to keep the thread open now, maybe? Unless there are some important memes we haven't seen.0

Oh, nobody is making fun of her. Just general good humor.
Also, I don't think questions about how she is doing currently is rude, considering this discussion was being kept up to date with her contemplating buying a pregnancy test, buying the test, then the test results.
She seems pretty open.
We all wish you well, OP. Hope it's all falling into line, and if not, then you have support here ready to help as much as we can.

This... Don't overreact. It's all in good fun. And for all we know, she's ecstatic, married, and off buying a crib. Perhaps I missed something (it's a long thread), but I don't recall her saying this was awful news... just decisions to be made.4 -
Congrats!0

Stop going to quacks. People in developed countries very, very rarely get parasites.
And another one that didn't read the thread
Because I was supposed to read through six pages just to tell her the same thing I did? I read enough to know I wasn't first. I still would have given the same response. Naturopaths are not medical professionals. They're full of crap and basically make things up. That she even thought she had a parasite is ridiculous.1 -
Basically, I just want some salt and vinegar crisps (chips) now.9

Actually I was good, until you mentioned it. I may need to add it to my grocery list for today.0 -

Technically she does have one ;-) Albeit one that is desired by many people.1 -

So true... So... so true.0 -
Oh no!!!!! Vinegar makes me vomit, just the smell of it.

Worked like a charm for me! Don't normally eat crisps either0 -

I was in the USA in 2009 when my mid-40s cousin found out she was pregnant with only 6 weeks to go. She had no idea. They tried for years and years without success and she figured that the loss of period was menopause.
Best. Surprise. Ever.5 -

That's kind of what I'm taking from the thread right now.
And they would have to be Walkers, which I can only get from a small import sweetie shop which is a 50 minute round trip car drive away.
And it's currently 35C at 7.44am
But still.
Congrats OP - salt and vinegar crisps/chips, Heinz Cream of Chicken soup and dry bread were all I could keep down for about 5 months when I was pregnant with my first!0 -
I somehow think that OP had better things to do than coming back to this thread.
I am, however, astounded by my own ability to diagnose over the internet and will be setting up a PayPal shortly14 -

Now I know who to come to next time I'm sick!
Depending on what her eventual decision is, OP might not feel comfortable coming back to tell us. But at least now she knows and can get the right kind of medical help for whatever path she wants to take!
A colleague of mine was so sick with both her pregnancies that she had to be hospitalised and on an IV for a while because she couldn't keep anything down for the first few months, so if OP does decide to continue with hers I hope her doctors will make sure she gets any intervention she needs for the health of both her and her baby.
@RedheadedPrincess14 I wish you the best of luck and good health, whatever you decide to do! I hope that you start to feel better soon. 1 -

Best of luck either way!!
OP is in Canada so medical costs for this will be covered by the Province. Having said that, I agree with your sentiment.
Is Province like Medicaid? A government type insurance? Or is everyone covered under it whether they have private insurance? Or are there no private insurances and you can only get it through the government?
Depending on what insurance you have, in the US at least, having a baby can be not to terrible or balls to the walls expensive.0 -

A province is an area of jurisdiction, much like a county in the US.

Essentially her basic health services associated with having or not having a baby are financially covered though the government's universal health plan. I would draw a similarity between a Province or Territory and a STATE more than I would a County.3 -
