There’s one study that suggests psyllium husk powder helps relieve heartburn symptoms. Has anyone tried it? How effective was it for you? Did you stop your medications as a result? Any input is welcome

Going for my next scan on Friday and really hoping I can see the genitals or at least a side profile to get the nub spine view. Anyone else get lucky this early on? I hate that we don’t do the NIPT test in Canada like Americans do.

Edit: I meant NIPT isn’t covered by OHIP unless you choose to pay for it. From my understanding, it’s covered for higher risk pregnancies. I don’t qualify for NIPT so that’s what I’m saying. That’s besides the point. I’m asking, have YOU find out the gender early on at around 12W5D?

Anyone opt for the “EI special benefits for self-employed people” and if so what was your experience like? Do you have to pay EI premiums until you retire?
I live away from family and can’t imagine leaving my baby at daycare with strangers, but also can’t afford not earning an income for months-years, so I’m considering EI benefits but don’t fully know how it works or if it’s worth it. Most mom dentists I know take a few months off and get back to business.
