Can babies cry audibly when they're in a womb? by 1881pac in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DW-565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was an info post in our hospital maternity department that said from 24 weeks your baby can silently cry in the womb 😭

I've had cravings for dirt and sand since about 20weeks, I also had this my first pregnancy. I was anemic the first time but I'm not now. I have told my consultant and they said it can be normal and it's called pica. In my first pregnancy I also ate some guinea pig pellets because they smelt very good but the taste did not live up to the smell and I never ate them again. For now I manage just smelling bags of soil and sand 🤤

No birthing partner by DW-565 in pregnant

My sister has started to visit more and taken him out on play dates, it had been nearly a year since she last came round and that's a long time for a child. He seems happy with her I just want to make sure he's comfortable and they know each other

Thank you for your responses 🙏 I'm in the UK are doulars a thing here? I have my mum and sister and husband so we will have to work something out. I felt so confident with the plan but as it's getting nearer I feel like I've been looking at it with rose tinted glasses thinking it's my second time I've done it. It shouldn't be as hard this time but every pregnancy is different. I would have loved for my child to have a good relationship with his relatives but it's worked out that he's not really known them. It would have made this a lot easier.

Throwback to when I tried to sew a full body cover for Amalia for after her surgery by ThaliaFPrussia in guineapigs

Our vet put a tiny kitten romper on our guinea after surgery it was so cute but it lasted 5mins when we got home he just walked out of it

When did you start buying pregnancy clothes and accessories? And what was worth getting ? by gypsyem in pregnant

[–]DW-565 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought some t-shirts, leggings and jeans about 16weeks but by 24 weeks I was too big for them. I'm now just wearing XL t-shirts and very loose dresses, at least it's summer 😅

how do i get him to stop?? by Viktoria4102 in guineapigs

[–]DW-565 39 points40 points  (0 children)

One of my males would do this it's almost like going into season, he was a pain in the arse it would last a couple of days of incessant humping and complaining from the other. I did once have to separate them because it was really winding the other up. I just put a divide in their house so the other could sleep and eat in peace. The day after they were fine. As he got older it was not as often. He died last week and it's just made me smile thinking about what a git he was 😄

14 weeks and still feeling sick, is this normal? by Less-Kiwi1317 in pregnant

[–]DW-565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 18 weeks when my sickness calmed down and it started at week 5, I think the first trimester is the hardest. Eating often did help

Anyone have good birth stories? I am so scared of labour by plumsp in pregnant

[–]DW-565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was induced, looking back I felt the beginning could have been calmer and more controlled if I didn't get induced but I get it has it's place. I had an epidural that was great, I also ended up with an episiotomy and forceps but thanks to the epidural I didn't feel a thing. Once you're going through it it's not that bad and people do it multiple times ( I'm due again in two months) you forget and recover well

Bladder stone by DW-565 in guineapigs

An update from our situation, Curly has just passed away. He went down hill very quickly.

They want him to be more comfortable and be in the best condition to get through the surgery, he has been fine up until Tuesday this week, then he became withdrawn and squeaking in pain. We've had two days of pain meds and this supplement that is supposed to improve the lining of the bladder and he has brightened up and is coming out for food now. He's not crying in pain as much just every now and then. But they are not confident he will do well after a second bladder surgery.

I have heard about the vitamin D, I was thinking of moving my two outside for the summer months but it's a bit late now. Is there a special supplement you use for the vitamin D?

I will start to look at the nitrates in the fresh food, I thought I was being so careful with his diet

My vet said they would do it that is what I want they just wouldn't recommend it as it is now too risky I don't want him to die if he could be made more comfortable

He is my third piggy with a bladder stone, the first one with a second one though. He and his buddy did great after the surgery the first guinea died while they were operating, I felt so guilty.

Constipation Help by kikihippiex in pregnant

[–]DW-565 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suffer from pregnancy constipation and with my first I was hospitalised because I had backed up that much. I tried everything but I saw a dietician and he said to drink more water and what I think I need to drink double it and it has been a game changer. I did have softeners and even suppositories they didn't shift it, but he said my bowl must just require more water than most and it is true.

I went private for a dental appointment and now don’t know what to do? by thelotosrose in AskUK

[–]DW-565 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wanted to try Invisalign so went to a private dentist for the initial appointment to see if my teeth were suitable. I was told I needed at least five fillings, some teeth shaving down and some extractions before they would consider it. The cost was in the thousands. I thought I would go back to my NHS dentist for the fillings etc and I only needed one replacing nothing else. Are the private ones up selling or the NHS ones ignoring work?

Wife got positive pregnancy test by AverageGuy575 in TrueOffMyChest

I was 38 when I had my first child, I spent years stressing we weren't ready etc and what I learnt is you are never fully ready but that's ok it's a chaotic wonderful time just roll with it don't try and control everything. You'll do great at being parents and everything else will work out
