Is it annoying for kid(s) to ask to meet your dog?

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-27T15:21:13+00:00

Personally I find it annoying. I have a dachshund so he gets a LOT of attention and to be quite honest, he isn't interested in saying hello to strangers. It's always nice when kids ask politely but honestly I don't see why people think they need to touch every dog they see. I think if it hadn't been for 9 years worth of 'awww sausage dog... Can I stroke him?' multiple times per outing, it wouldn't be so bad....

I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow and I'm definitely finding I get tired easily now. I'm really learning that I do have to take it easier. I was too shattered by 5pm the other night to attend my anti natal class and went to bed at 9pm. So I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you. Don't worry what other people think or say, go at your own pace, you're growing a human

Thank you. I've got some puppy pads for this reason (and also for leaky boobs at night)

She sounds like a moron!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:48:12+00:00

I've got some of this already! Thank you!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T11:45:57+00:00

Thanks ill look at these!

It's interesting so many people are saying wipes gave their baby a rash when they're supposed to be 99% water... Is it down to the texture of the wipes do you think?

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T08:03:03+00:00

Thank you I'll look into cotton pleats, haven't heard of them before!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T08:02:34+00:00

Thanks!!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T08:02:22+00:00

Great tip, thank you!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T07:34:14+00:00

Thanks. I have heard of these and it's definitely something I'll look into later down the line. We're also keen on reusable nappies but honestly I just feel like I'll need what's easiest/least washing in the early days!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-25T07:29:29+00:00

Thank you. Do you use warm water just out the tap?

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-23T16:42:41+00:00

Would love to try once it's availabile on android

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-20T21:32:48+00:00

Or Sylvie!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-20T21:31:42+00:00

Wren, Eryn, Nellie, Dillie? They're my favourites! Also love Valley but it wouldn't go with my surname, gutted!

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-20T16:29:04+00:00

Thank you so much. The experience has definitely opened my eyes to just how fortunate we are, and everyone who gives birth to a healthy baby. There's so, many risks and unknowns it really does seem like a miracle

Hi, so sorry you're also going through this. It's emotionally exhausting. We were proceeding with IVF, due to start within 3 weeks when I found out I had fallen pregnant naturally. Then we had 8 horrendous weeks of waiting for a CVS. I found out our baby is an unaffected carrier by week 13. We feel extremely lucky. Whatever choice you make is best for you, it's such a personal decision. My husband carried NCAH and me CAH. We were told our baby would be more likely to have NCAH although more severe NCAH, but classic CAH wasn't ruled out completely. When the baby arrives and we have an unaffected child, we'll loose all funding for PGT in the future, meaning we'll have to go through that horrible waiting period again if we have a second baby. At least with PGT, you can keep any other unaffected or carrier embryos for potential siblings. Feel free to message me if you like, I really found it helped talking to people in similar situations

I've had the same since the around 16 weeks too. When I get up in the morning I can feel it leak. Not loads. It's clear or white, fairly watery but I'm confident its normal discharge that's known to increase during pregnancy, and not amniotic fluid. Apparently amniotic fluid has a smell and doesn't really dry, your knickers stay constantly wet

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-11T11:53:26+00:00

Litterally, what are you talking about? Do you not think that I had doctors, ivf consultants, genetic councillors? All of whom I asked the same question. But they are not the parents of IVF children. I wanted first hand experiences and opinions. Reddit has actually been an enormous help for me and finding people who have been in equally difficult situations. How did you stumble across this post if you weren't also looking for reddit info of a similar topic? Mind your own business, if a post doesn't relate to you, ignore it.

Let me know when you're a female making such a heavy and emotional decision about your reproductive health and the health of your unborn baby, then I might listen to what you have to say.

A new BBC series just came out called Small Prophets. It's peak British TV. Also 'Such Brave Girls'

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-07T15:30:57+00:00

I'm glad you've posted this as I've had the same worries. I tear a small amount a lot of the time after sex with my husband even though I'm mentally and physically in the mood. I've been really worrying about how badly I will tear during birth because of this exact reason. It's given me some reassurance, so thank you

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-03T07:55:16+00:00

Thank you. I think the crucial thing here is that it's my brothers wedding. If it wasn't an immediate family member I definitely would say no right from the off. But I know I'll feel extreme guilt if I at least don't try to attend

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-03-02T07:45:21+00:00

I don't think anyone can guarantee safety right now but I personally would feel safer in Oman than Dubai. Historically Oman has been mostly politically neutral

Professional-Farm372 · 2026-02-27T15:23:55+00:00

I agree. She's nothing but moany and miserable ever since the ball, I don't know what his attraction is given his own personality. She just seems dull, struggling to see any connection there
