So I was lurking in another birth month group and saw this Canadian mom's thread and thought it was an awesome idea! This is a great place to ask those questions Canada specific!
Let’s have an introduction
FTM/STM/STM+:
ages of other children:
what part of Canada are you from?:
any questions?:
GTKY what’s your favourite winter activity for those Canadian Winters?:
Re: Canadian mom's check-in
ages of other children: just a 9 year old chocolate lab
what part of Canada are you from?: Kinda been all over... Grew up in BC, lived in ON, QC, BC again, SK, MB and just moved to Alberta this summer
any questions?: Did any of the rest of you guys get NIST testing? My OB said almost no one here gets it so she didn't really know how to get that set up for me and had to look into it. I had to just last week send blood to the States to get tested... Waiting for the results now.
GTKY what’s your favourite winter activity for those Canadian Winters?: Ooo so many to choose from... Loved snowboarding growing up, but after moving East with no real mountains, I picked up snowshoeing... Also lovd pond skating... So hard to chose which winter thing I like best!
FTM/STM/STM+: STM
@caroduke yes it's not that common to do NIPT here, unless you go to a private clinic. I know that in Quebec they started offering Fetal DNA testing if you got a high risk with the government test, instead of going straight to an amnio. I actually got it done during my last pregnancy because I do my prenatal testing at a private clinic and when you get a moderate or high risk test they automatically have you do the NIPT. It all turned out ok but the lab was in the states indeed.
H&M has 20% off site wide, so I picked up some leggings and shirts. Any other worthwhile sales out there?
