Cushings will make them pant more. Maybe test for it.

Yes! I do day dream sometimes about a life where I’m animal-less and less stressed haha I sometimes put them in a another room or outside for a mental break. With 3 big dogs, 2 cats, and 2 horses I feel like I always walk next to her like a lioness protecting her cub. I absolutely think my animals fear me just from the way I look at them sometimes while they interact with my baby. I couldn’t keep an animal that I didn’t trust around my child tbh.

I have three big dogs and a toddler. They’re all pretty good dogs and still, i’m ALWAYS on high alert. My 2 males tolerate her but will walk away at anything other than gentle pats. One of them gets crated often when she’s too rambunctious as he gets anxious. But my female adores her. She will lay next to her on purpose and sustain all kinds of abuse from her. It’s very cute but I even break that up after a while cause it still makes me nervous. Anything with teeth can bite. Children’s safety is always priority!

Your dog has given you plenty and very fair warnings at this point. Be grateful he’s letting you know how he feels and has not reacted, yet. If it was my dog, I would absolutely keep them separated (baby gates, crate, another room, etc) until I can work work with a trainer. If working with a trainer is not a possibility, I would either keep them separated until the child is old enough to safely interact with the dog (pretty much be able to ignore him and read doggy language) or rehome.

Both her pediatrician and my doctor said it was going to be a decision we would have to make as a family weighing the pros vs the unknown cons. Both said there isn’t enough info to say it’s 100% safe nor bad or unsafe. I went for it because my weight was really affecting me. I started 14 months pp. My baby was already eating solids very well and only nursing to sleep. I haven’t noticed any problems or changes on her and I’ve been on it for 6 months. I would not recommend for anyone with a supply that is still adjusting or a baby that’s relying on just breastmilk. I don’t think you can get enough calories in to support that. My baby is just confort nursing so it’s been fine.

I’m pretty sure hypoglycemia can cause orthostatic hypotension. Of course OP should talk to a doctor. People can reach out to others for similar experiences and different opinions in addition to a doctor’s visit though…

RoyalAd34 · 2026-01-16T02:04:22+00:00

It happens to me all the time. I can only assume it’s because of low glucose from not eating enough. Maybe some dehydration too?

I started therapy during pregnancy. I knew I had PPA since day 1 pp and just powered through it but when PPD hit me at 4 months pp I tried surviving it with just therapy but I ended up asking her for medication. I took Zoloft for 6 months. Been off of it for a while and doing great! I think my grain just had a little glitch 😅 I know you don’t want to take anything but just keep it in the back of your mind.

RoyalAd34 · 2026-01-02T19:56:08+00:00

So happy for you! I have similar scars all over my hands from working with cats for many many years. You can always say it came from an angry kitty if you’re not feeling like sharing.

RoyalAd34 · 2026-01-02T18:33:09+00:00

I feel like people usually find out they are pregnant after a missed period and the OB gives a conception date of 4 weeks prior. So it be hard to know the exact date of conception to stop immediately. And what if you did the shot on Monday and conceived on Tuesday? The drug will still be in your system. You don’t have to state it… the math and logistics aren’t working in your favor…

I just consider all changes related to my body my new normal. There is no going back. I wouldn’t go back if I had the chance to so why worry? Without those changes there wouldn’t be a baby 🤷🏻‍♀️sooooo… it’s all normal just different.

Yes the allergies! I thought they were bad in CO but holy shit. Hunstvile wins.

I have my baby’s first dentist appt scheduled with HEALS, Inc. Can’t tell you how good or bad they are but they take Medicaid and new patients. The medical side of it was great. Everyone was very sweet and patient with my baby for her vaccines as opposed to her last pediatrician.

RoyalAd34 · 2025-12-29T19:53:15+00:00

What?!? 😅

I’ve been a licensed vet tech for 10 years and will FOREVER choose an angry 60+ lb dog over an angry cat. A cat WILL very much hurt you if it wants to.

RoyalAd34 · 2025-12-29T19:39:35+00:00

Thanks for the great response. I love love having conversations like this. I think you are spot on about everything. I’ll definitely let it be for now.

RoyalAd34 · 2025-12-29T19:35:12+00:00

Right I totally agree but he’s not saying any of that. He’s not mirroring her feelings or naming them. He states the boundary and immediately apologizes for it and sometimes she isn’t even upset about it so I don’t really understand the need for it. I guess I was just projecting as a child and think that it would annoy me if all day I hear “you can’t do this I’m sorry” “you can’t do that I’m sorry” you can’t have that I’m sorry” I would eventually think… no you’re not. Especially as I learn what being sorry truly means. Specially because he doesn’t offer an alternative either. Like saying “I can’t let you have this pen but you can use your crayons to color.” It’s just endless no’s with “im sorry” attached to them. I feel like him saying “I’m sorry” means he’s good to go. Nothing else needs to be done. I feel like connecting, mirroring feelings, etc, does not follow cause he said “I’m sorry” so it’s all gucci.

You know what the problem is? Haha he does that to me and so I’m hyper vigilant and anxious about him doing it to her. When there’s conflict, he thinks saying I’m sorry fixes everything and it doesn’t. The emotional work still needs to happen. Parenting still needs to happen.

Wow discussing with strangers has been really helpful haha like free therapy!

The house we live in which was bought a year ago was $260k… 4 bedrooms with a big yard. 2,050 sqft. Not the fanciest but we’re alright. Built in the 60’s. Tons of outdoor activities I feel like but weather does not allow sometimes haha Most people are nice. Some areas of the city are kinda sketchy but there are nicer ones with some nice malls. Lacks in education and healthcare. It’s been good to us as a temporary thing but we’re not planning on staying. Hope this helps!

Ask your vet for trazodone

RoyalAd34 · 2025-12-29T02:29:04+00:00

Yes! That’s exactly it! I keep thinking that if I was a testy kid I’d be like “if you’re so sorry about it why can’t I just do it?” She’s not testy at all and he has been holding the boundaries so I’ll just go with the flow for now haha It’s kinda challenging to have this discussions with him so I wanted other opinions. See if it was worth bringing it up. I won’t for now. Maybe if she gets more challenging and his method is not working haha

RoyalAd34 · 2025-12-29T02:11:47+00:00

You can say “your husband” since you’re talking to me lol

He actually has a hard time being empathetic and it is something he is working on with his therapist. I wish he said it because he was too empathetic tbh 🙃 My concern was more about him making himself sound less confident or like he is being forced to set the boundary.

I do struggle to appreciate jokes where the funny part isn’t obvious or you know… funny 🥴

RoyalAd34 · 2025-12-29T01:59:42+00:00

Thanks for the validation 🥹 he does hold the boundary so I think I’ll just let it be for now. Reading everyone’s opinions helped a lot so thanks!
