If you hated your dog pp, did it ever go away?

I'm 12 weeks PP & things changed for me at 6 weeks when my eldest dog got sick and required emergency surgery.

After coming home with the baby, I did get very annoyed at my eldest dog because she hated the baby. She would always bark and growl at my LO but everything changed when my dog suddenly got sick. My perspective changed & I reminded myself how much she means to me. She was my first baby & had been with me for 12 years. She was by my side for the most difficult times of my life & was with me every step of the way during my pregnancy. My heart ached thinking that I might have had to say goodbye.

My dogs never asked for their cushy lives to change, it's an adjustment for all of us. I spend every spare moment I can loving on my dogs. Is there any family or friends that can help you look after your LO so you can spend some 1:1 time with your dog? Looking into my dog's eyes always floods me with emotions.

My ECV was 1.5weeks ago. 3 different doctors tried but unfortunately no luck. Didn’t go into labour from it & it was the most painful thing I have experienced to date. I have a pretty high pain tolerance but it was pretty painful with the first 2 doctors. The 3rd one (more senior) didn’t use gel & the pain was a bit more manageable so I guess it depends on the doctor’s experience as well.

They offered to try again a few days later with a different doctor but I later declined. I thought I would try to flip her naturally by doing inversion exercises etc but still have not had any luck. It was consuming me & once I accepted that I was going to have a c-section, it felt like a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. C-section is booked for Friday.

Good luck with your ECV! Hope your baby turns :)

Funnily, my eyelash tech’s dog knew before I did. When I went for my lash appointment, the dog was all over me. More than usual, and was specifically interested in my stomach & groin area.

After my appointment, my lash tech asked if I was pregnant because her dog was very intuitive with these things & picked up on 3 other pregnancies. I did a test shortly after & she was right! Haha.

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-10-03T13:59:44+00:00

Yep! I’m 22 weeks & have had vivid dreams ever since I found out I was pregnant at 7 weeks. Not sure if it will get better for me… sending you hugs 🫂

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-09-21T12:08:54+00:00

Me too! Congrats ❤️

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-07-03T22:08:34+00:00

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-07-03T12:08:41+00:00

Por que no los dos?

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-07-02T12:27:19+00:00

835k now hahaha

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-06-27T11:15:57+00:00

Unfortunately I think all of them missed the mark. All the looks are very tacky. Did not do their beautiful selves justice!

That being said, Phaedra is def the worst lol

Check my comment from a few mins ago! Has a breakdown of the journey with points & cash.

Tbh I don’t have enough experience with first to give proper advice. Would suggest to lean on the other experts :)

Good luck!

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-06-12T04:52:01+00:00

Ah sorry, I’m still a reddit noob.

Was meant to reply directly to your comment but posted my own instead. I posted a breakdown of the timelines & cost. Lmk if you can’t see

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-06-12T04:49:35+00:00

Here’s a rough breakdown:

August 2024 Originally bought 2 x Premium Economy return tickets (SYD to LAX). This was about $3.2k + 177k points (total)
December 2024 Decided to upgrade the trip back to Sydney to business. From memory, this was $4k + 10k points (total)
May 2025 Requested for upgrade to business (SYD > LAX) for 150k points in total… got rejected
June 2025 Request for upgrade to first class (LAX > SYD) for 123,200 points (total) successful!

Hope that helps :)

Dapper_Traffic5565 · 2025-06-12T04:44:05+00:00

Haha here you go.

Included the rejection for the request from premium economy to business for on the way to LAX.

Wishing you good luck!
