I just lost my mucus plug.
Luckily we’ve got a doctor’s appointment in two hours and I’ll get to find out more of what’s going on. Maybe an internal exam?

Is it normal that I’m totally freaking out? Single-digit countdown is on… and I can hardly believe his imminent arrival is fast approaching. I go through stages of “I do NOT want to be a mother” straight into “oh my god, this is going to be fucking amazing.” I guess it’s like any huge […]

Almost at the End

I had a dream last night about my flat stomach. I wonder if I’ll be one of the lucky ones and have my belly come back looking like it used to. I’ve always been confident about my stomach- no matter how much my weight has fluctuated (which it has, a lot), my stomach has (almost) […]

Checkup today went well. Finally met with a doctor that I like more. He’s a man, and the father of a girl I didn’t really enjoy in high school, but he was happy, informative and although I felt a bit rushed, it was the best appointment I’ve had since moving to NS.
[Let me just mention […]

FUCK the NS Health Care System

Bah! I’m so frustrated with the doctors that I’ve met with since arriving in Nova Scotia. Their quality of care is so far under the care we received from our Ontario midwives, I can hardly believe it.
I don’t think I mentioned that when I was saying goodbye to my main midwife before we left, […]

When I should be focusing on things like preparing for birth, I’m not. Instead, I’m having a very hard time sleeping at night, concentrating during the day, and not being able to relax. Ever.
Had I known that moving to Nova Scotia would be so hard on me, I’m not sure I would have. […]

I’m calling a Chiropractor today to set up an appointment so I can have Webster’s Technique performed on me, because this baby won’t stay head down. He’s been head up (or sideways) for a week now, and he’s supposed to be head down and staying head down by now. I want to avoid a c-section […]

He has Clive’s nose, but my mom says he looks like me as a newborn

The ultrasound was so cool. He wouldn’t stop touching his face and he was completely folded in half for the entire time, so it made it hard to get a good look at his face. At one point he had his toes on the top of his forehead. No matter how much sugar I injested […]

4D Ultrasound Day!
Filed Under Pregnancy Doctor's Appointments, Pregnancy Doesn't Suck | Leave a Comment
Today’s the big day: our 4D Ultrasound. In a mere five hours, Clive will pick me up from work and we’ll drive to a nearby city for our hour-long appointment. Words cannot describe how excited I am to see our son’s face. And his toes. And fingers. And everything about him. We’ll also […]

3D/4D Ultrasound
Filed Under Pregnancy Belly!, Pregnancy Doctor's Appointments | 1 Comment
I booked our 4D ultrasound today. We still have to wait until June 18, when I’m around 27 weeks along. It’ll be so cool to see. I didn’t really think that I’d get one because it’s $200 that I could spend on any number of other useful things, but we found out that […]
