It really works, is safe and no drugs. Usual disclaimer.


Thanks Doug! I'd prefer to go without the anti-nausea meds. So far they're the only thing that touches it so I am definitely going to check this out.

This is definitely one of the things on the top of our priority list during this journey. Thanks for the reminder MoBOB. He's already lost most of the summer in terms our adventuring plans. frown

Hey! It looks like we've got at least 5 future ETSers enroute. Cool!

As I tell all my (typically younger) patients, "Oops happens." Nothing is 100% gauranteed to prevent pregnancy - just ask the Virgin Mary. smile

Preppers should be the best people to deal with such unexpected news.

Anyways, since this part of the story is opened, let me tell you something. A few years back we faced similar news and , well, we just accepted it as it was. Belive me guys and gals, the girl we got was a load of love and fun. My youngest girl has showered me and mom with more hugs and kisses than all the other 4 kids combined. Bless her heart.

Wishing all the best for the future ETSers and their families.

This event maybe a good thing for a lonely kid not to be lonely for the rest of his life. When parents grow older , a person needs a brother or sister in hard times. Also, a single kid maybe overwhlemed by the difficult needs of two elderly parents. A brother/sister can share the load.

I made a scheduled trip to a special pregnancy clinic in a hospital in Toronto yesterday. I drove to the outskirts of the city and then took public transit for the first time in years to get there. I have to admit that my thinking process on what to bring was a little clunky. I'd be a long way from home if I got stuck! This is going to be a regular trip for me so I could use your help.

In a backpack I put: copies of my medical paper trail, my wallet and edc keyring, lip balm, my edc purse, a full 2l Nalgene, some snacks and sour candies (GREAT for nausea!), a jacket (with mitts and socks in pockets), a hat, a magazine, leather man wave, edc pocket organizer tool kit, headlamp, sunglasses, prescription glasses in hard case, wallet with extra cash. The bag was heavy enough with the full water bottle. (There's a few snacks missing , as well as the two bottles of juice I drank while waiting. And waiting. And waiting.... :-)

P.S. - whoever suggested Jolly Rancher Sours - THANK YOU!

EDC backpack: http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h35 ... 730771.jpg


EDC PSK Purse: http://i1105.photobucket.com/albums/h35 ... 188855.jpg



Interestingly, just as I pulled into the transit parking lot to head to the hospital, I realized that the parking machine doesn't take paper money. I went and got change so I could park and then my cel phone decided that it didn't want to live anymore. No problem, I thought, I've got a quarter for a pay phone. I had no idea that it would take 50 cents to make my call. More quarters, loonies and toonies next time!

EDIT: In addition to more coins and a change of underwear (ultrasound gel sucks!), I'll probably throw in a lined fleece or something instead of the jacket next time. The hospitals can get a little cool sometimes, and it looks like I've got 2 emerg ponchos should an unexpected rain appear. (We all dress for the weather, right?) I also need to wear better foot ware next time as well. My ortho sandles are comfy but not if I had to walk any distance if it was raining. I could also ditch my leatherman, since I've got my Gerber recoil and a couple of folders. I threw it in out of habit bit cutting weight in the pack will help as I gain it in my body.

P.S. - they grey blob in the purse pic is an Altoids tin psk. :-) and the edc pocket organizer is this one: http://forums.equipped.org/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=17333&Number=243634#Post243634

It takes a special guy to do that,Izzy. He must be quite a dad!

I'm double doctoring now. My primary OB is a hig risk specialiat close to home, and as of yesterday, I'm being followed by one of leading high risk pregnancy clinics in the county. I highly recommend a high risk specialist for anyone that falls into that category. They are indredibly thorough and it's very reassuring. 17 weeks tomorrow and all is well YEAH! Now if I could just wrap my head around this bi-weekly commute to Toronto!
