Maybe I need to start talking more about how many weeks left with DH.....I have mentioned that it's possible to have the baby sooner... but DH just says that it's rare.
mathistm,I've heard of this but only on these boards, never in real life so maybe it's not done in Canada (we also don't pay for labor and delivery...only circumcision if you want it so I can't speak to the charges either)
It doesn't matter to me either way because our insurance covers it. Our area did just have a pretty big sketchy heroin issue so maybe that's where it came about. I had never heard of it before!
Also. Has anyone heard of your hospital testing your baby's meconium for drugs? I am by no means worried about it but it's pretty expensive and at my hospital it is mandatory! I have read everywhere that they only do it other places if there is suspicion of use or if mothers urine/blood comes back positive for something or it is done with public insurance only. Maybe it's new?
I feel like I have heard of this actually. I think it's something that they only do in specific states, it's not a federal thing.
I've heard the same. And in a few states, there are legal consequences for the mom.
If I have to sweep up any more sand/dirt from muddy boots I'm going to cry. I am so over winter.
Gah! This! DH and I bought a new house this October (when YEG was frozen) and the thaw has me going crazy because we don't have landscaping done in our neighbourhood yet. Every time we let the dog out it equates to 15 minutes of us wiping her paws, muddy footprints all over my floors, and after every walk she gets carried up to the tub so we can rinse the mud off of her. Summer can't come soon enough because I can't even handle it!
