I have this same issue. My left shoulder and my left leg are either asleep or hurting all night long, in no matter what position I choose to lay. The leg is definitely sciatica related because when I locate and press on the nerve my whole leg and foot feel better. The arm only hurts when I lay on it but its still really annoying. I know how you feel. Havent had a good nights or even a good nap worth of sleep in over 2 weeks thanks to this!

Luckily she's fine now but Wednesday was spent completely exhausted on the children's ward of our local hospital after trying to get a few hours sleep on a recliner chair with an ill baby in my arms as she wouldn't sleep in the hospital cot! Spent most of yesterday catching up on sleep and coming down from all the worry and panic!

Really frustrated too as my booking appointment and scan appointment letter hasn't turned up yet! I wouldn't mind too much but I've been waiting almost 3 weeks and I turn 11 weeks on Wednesday so time's running out! I also don't want something ridiculous to happen like I end up missing my appointments because the letter telling me when to go went awol in the post! If I haven't got it before I go out shopping today I'm going to pop into the doctors and double check that the referral got sent off properly and if so hopefully get a number to call! I swear it only took a fortnight to come last time!

Oh my, that's so scary about your daughter! So glad to hear that all is ok!

Agreed - I still can't get over the fact that my first pregnancy, from start to finish... regular check-ups, hospital stay in a private room for 2 days with regular meals... being induced with an epidural cost me $20 (my benefits covered a shared room - so I paid the difference) And then a whole year off to enjoy with baby... I love being Canadian

*queue everyone on this entire forum hating you* LOL im kidding, but seriously you lucky canadians. Despite our liberal leader, we are trapped in hell here in america thanks to the republicans trying to take down our president, and we will likely never see glorious healthcare coverage like that.

Come join us!!!

I tried to convince a friend of mine to move up here when she became pregnant after she told me she'd only get 6 weeks at home... I couldn't believe it! 6 weeks in after DS I wasn't even out of jammies yet. It seems so weird to be so close and yet so completely different in terms of care!

It's not a perfect system by any means. You have to wait a long time for CT's and MRI's and specialists unless you want to pay for a private clinic.

When we were having fertility issues, it was going to be an 8 month wait for the specialists... Just for the initial consults... We are lucky in some ways, but definitely not a perfect system!
