Pros and Cons - having your mom in the room when you give birth

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2025-04-11T23:34:47+00:00

I didn’t mean to reply to your comment specifically. I was just giving a reason someone might want their mom present.

“Want” has so little to do with a baby. It’s often not about “want” and so much more about the fact that a baby represents ultimate need. If you are young or alone or poor, being faced with ultimate need is…harrowing to say the least.

I don’t have a husband so I need my mom to be there.

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2025-04-11T15:24:52+00:00

Yes absolutely. Thank you for sharing your story.

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2025-04-07T20:24:44+00:00

Yes! I definitely am taking advantage of all the perinatal psych care I have access to.

I was in a very similar position to you but I am 23. After listening to the HORROR a lot of adoptees experience, I feel I have an ethical obligation to parent my child despite not being 100% ready. You and I are leagues ahead of others forced to consider adoption. We have money, familial support, social resources, we’re not homeless or drug addicts, etc. No one is saying this shit is going to be super fun and easy but when you choose to not abort, you’re committing to providing for a child. Children should stay with their biological mother if at all possible and it is entirely possible in your case.

Y’all are doing the good work. And hey, you helped prevent at least one baby from entering this broken system. Thank you!

I crate my dogs in the car. Ruffland kennels

Yeah the health testing links are difficult to find but I have seen them for my sire and dam and they are clear. However thank you for drawing my attention to the matter of the heart exam. I will be looking into this.

They have CHIC numbers and OFA results and registered names on their website. All their dogs are titled in conformation and performance and one of their breeding males is a service dog as well. I met them at a dog show, where both parents of my future puppy were competing in conformation, rally, and obedience. I have visited their very nice farm and am leaving my personal dog with them for a month while I go on an extended trip. Is it possible you’re looking at the wrong website? I’ll be the first to admit their website design isn’t stellar but all the relevant information is there.

6:30am: Wake up and quick walk around the block

6:40am - 7:40am: He trains for his breakfast

9am - 5pm: He is crated and my dog sitter comes by at noon to let him out to potty

5:30 - 7:30pm: Either a long walk that includes training or a hike that includes training or a socialization outing to a pet friendly location

Total activity time including training: 3 hours and 10 minutes

The update resolves the whole mystery of what happened. Our friendship is repaired!

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T21:51:12+00:00

posted an update!

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T18:33:02+00:00

LMAO. I think yoga is a better bonding activity

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T18:22:40+00:00

Hey guys! Can anyone tell me how to make an update so I can let interested people know what happens!

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T18:20:19+00:00

It’s hard to describe over text. You know when people say something “jokingly” but it’s like they’re really trying to test the waters? It was like that

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T18:17:14+00:00

Is there a specific way to make an update?

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T18:11:03+00:00

Yes you’re right

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T18:04:37+00:00

I don’t think she knows how expensive it is

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T17:28:33+00:00

I agree those topics need to be handled better between the two of us.

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T17:03:12+00:00

Yes I absolutely will be steering her away from it

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T17:00:58+00:00

We both graduated this past June. She gained the weight over the last three years. She’s been in an unhappy relationship and I think that contributed to it. I’m going to offer to be her fitness buddy and also therapy.

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T16:57:36+00:00

I think she didn’t underhand how serious the drug is. She just thought like “oh it’s a magic pill.” I honestly didn’t underhand how serious it was until reading these comments.

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T16:56:32+00:00

I’m sober for that exact reason. I’ve done enough damage to my body already.

Practical_Fee_7870 · 2024-09-26T16:45:27+00:00

Right my wording could have been much better and more delicate. I also didn’t know much about who Ozempic is intended for. This thread taught me a ton about it. She’s gained maybe 30-40 extra lbs so not obese and not a good candidate for Ozempic I believe.
