I found a "leach" pillow that looks like a long tube pillow that's curved on the ends. Found it at a toys r us. It was pricey but worth it. sometime i have it in front of me and wrap it between my legs adn then lean on it with one leg straight and one bent so it kind of feels like I'm sleeping on my stomach. kind…

my ice - our u/s clinics here are also seperate but you need a requisition form from your doctor to get one. For whatever reason I've had lots of u/s considering I'm low risk and they've been unconcerned about me for the most part. I had a dating scan at 8 weeks even though I told them I knew EXACTLY when I conceived, one…

AUGUST IS TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!:noway: Bru are you still hanging in there?

yay for a supportive boss! I hope that every woman experiences a supportive work place. Pregnancy can be stressful enough without added pressure. I haven't had any issues here only that they've never had a female employee before so no one knew (including myself) what paper work had to be done. Thank goodness for HR folks,…

Amazing!!! Congratulations!

Faughorn - that's what I heard too. I haven't got to try out ANY of my diapers of course but the pocket ones you can stuff the pocket and add a soaker on top. I'll have to go back and take notes from the earlier parts of this thread! Pretty sure there were a few experienced ladies on here with advice for that. I've seen a…

I was told by my doctor to continue whatever exercises I was doing and if I felt uncomfortable then to pull back or stop that exercise. She didn't mention anything about max heart rate just to only do 85% of what I was doing before in terms of effort. As well......she told me to cut out the contact sports which was fine by…

sugarbaby "but I still need to find someone to help install the carseat." Check if your firehall can install your car seat for you! They do here anyways. They have certain days of the month when you can go to any firehall and they'll check your carseat for recalls, and proper installation. Sometimes the police have this…

myice - my girlfriend is at 35 wks (we both are!) and she started experiencing dizziness. I think she has to be quite careful when she stands up from a sitting position. I'll have to ask her what her doc said and get back to you. Also the sudden weight gain happened to me too, i had lost a pound and maintained that weight…

Does anyone use Norwex products? I'm wondering if their laundry soap is safe for cd's. I didn't see it on that website that was posted earlier.

You could try packing a few things like fruit or granola type bars so you don't lose your marbles and grab the family size bag of doritos at the gas station. Subway or pitas for lunch? I always fall back on subway on the road because i am in control over what goes in my sandwich, and I like their breakfast sandwiches.…

oh faughorn.....it's ok.....:smile: I'm right with you. Despite a lack of appetite and swimming more than ever.....AND walking 3 km a day with my dog I too am wondering where this weight is coming from if I'm also not carrying a 20 lb baby! I actually lost a pound last week and had maintained that weight for three weeks…

maybe the mucous plug? I have no idea what to expect, I've joked with my girlfriends who've had kids that i'll have to send them a picture and say "is this it?" eeeee exciting!

Is everybody still hanging in there? August is right around the corner! I don't feel ready to be done being pregnant but I definitely feel done being at work. My heart isn't really into it. However.....gotta pay the bills so I'll suck it up for 5 more weeks. I've been getting a lot of baby clothes from friends and we…

......you quit wearing shoes with laces because it's too much work ......you grunt louder than an olympic shot putter trying to roll over in bed ......your husband instinctively gives you a helping push up off the couch ......you've gotten stuck trying to squish inbetween things because you forget sucking in doesn't do…

That's the one I got fromt thyme as well, same price! I will probably have to switch soon,don't think the other one will hold up.

i bought a one piece leisure swim suit from thyme maternity (canada) and it has a good shelf bra in it. It feels quite supportive. I tried the tankini's on and it felt like the bottoms disappeared! :laugh: Too bad they were really cute. Some of my girlfriends have tried just going up a few sizes or going to a plus size…

well darnnit.....my doctor is pretty sure my baby is breach. crap. Well he's got 6 weeks to fix that I suppose. She's going to send me for another u/s and I'll see her in two weeks.

with the cloth wipes did you make your own as well? What did you make them out of? I bought some cd's from a lady in town and she had a box of misc. baby stuff to sell including a cloth diaper wipe warmer. Up until that point I hadn't thought about that before....if you're going to wash the diapers anyway the wipes are no…

Totally agree. I'm in SK and I've only had luck at Thyme maternity. I raid their discount racks and have had great luck there. I have had zero luck at motherhood and old navy. Old navy really dissapointed me here. There seems to be a pile of clothes for sale on kijiji (buy local/used website). There is a boutique here as…

We did one at 28 weeks. We don't pay for 2d u/s here but the optional 3d ones we do pay for. I was fortunate to have that cost covered through work benefits so we thought we'd try it out. It was fun because my parents were in town so they were able to come as well. The tech took a lot of 2d photos for us as well plus my…

It's raining outside so I decided to start nesting......and make an inventory of my cloth diaper stash. I've been buying gently used cd's locally and buying new cd's online when I find good sales. I found myself getting a little too excited when I found a great deal and realized that I had no idea what I actually had! So…

Wow!!!!! Thanks for sharing everyone! Of course I'm starting my work day off by checking mfp instead of just working and everytime I read a birth story I get a bit weepy. Good thing no one can see me at my desk. Each birth story makes me more nervous and more excited at the same time but knowing you ladies came out all…

Happy 4th of July! We just celebrated Canada day but my husband and I usually celebrate the american holidays as well as he served in the american army for 6 years and still has many close friends in the states. There is so much to catch up on....everybody is getting really close, this is soooo exciting!! Not much new…

I would love to and I would also love to have a water birth but I need a midwife.....and they are few and far between here. I called to get one when I was 4 months pregnant and they laughed at me and said, maybe if I was due in December. So i'm on a waiting list but it sounds like next time i'll just call before i'm…

My sweet tooth is out of control. Has been the whole pregnancy. Before I could satisfy it with fruit but now it's for sure ice cream or some sort of cup cake like item. Definately NOT craving vegetables. Too bad I wasn't the other way around I'd be better off!

I am doing the same as well. I had my initial weight on there and maintenance set. Then when I changed the settings to gain a 1/2 lb I updated my weight. I updated my weight when I hit third tri as well and have left it since even though i'm 10 lbs heavier now. It feels like I get a lot of calories and i"m not restricting…

I've been thinking alot about the birth too! People always ask like it's their business and i have just been telling them that I'm going to keep an open mind. I am also shooting for a natural birth, mostly because i'm really scared of drugs but I'll see when the time is closer. I am on a waiting list for a midwife but I…

eejieweejie - is your survey ready? I couldn't get on it, said it was closed this morning.

I don't remember there being any restrictions on the test other than you have to sit in the clinic for a full hour after you drink the stuff.
