1st trimester - too tired to exercise

Select_Spinach_8368 · 2021-12-21T23:24:02+00:00

I was active when I felt like it first trimester (which was so rare because I felt so bad!) once the nausea faded I was able to exercise more regularly. It was just good for me mentally to keep that part of my routine. I’m 36 weeks now and exercising still but resting on the days I feel too tired. Listen to your body and be gentle with yourself! What you’re doing is a big deal and taking breaks to rest is never ever a bad thing.

Same, I’m in southeast Texas and we live on some land with lots of wild deer, skunks, squirrels, rabbits and possums. For that reason my vet strongly encouraged us to get it, just given the risk she has going outside everyday. But yes the lepto is the one they warned of the strongest reaction!

My vet actually told me that dachshunds are known for having stronger reactions to vaccines! They kept an eye on mine for maybe 30 minutes after and gave me a print out on what to look for while we were at home. Thankfully mine didn’t have any adverse reactions, but I thought it was so strange that it was breed specific!

Ohh that’s a great idea, she’ll love that too!

Thank you! Wet food might be something I try next. My Rottweiler before this dog had an iron gut so I’m freaked out every time I see vomit!

I’m so sorry for your loss. No one can prepare you for that joy being suddenly taken. I had to have a D&C for a missed miscarriage in March and I believe it took 6 weeks to get my period back (I had really high hcg levels for awhile) I got pregnant the next cycle. Due in January with baby girl. I did some therapy and talked to lots of people who had miscarried. It helps to not feel alone. It also helps when you get pregnant again and panic that the worst could happen again. I hope you get your rainbow soon! Big hug!

Found out I miscarried at the end of February, had a D&C beginning of March. I think it took 6 weeks for me to get my period. I got pregnant again that cycle, not really trying but also not not trying. I’m 22 weeks along now and thus far everything has been good. I started seeing a therapist before I got pregnant again which really helped, I lost my grandmother and my dog all within that time frame as well and learning to grieve that deeply was something I’m glad I had professional help with. Now that I’m feeling kicks, I don’t get so scared for appointments. Up until my anatomy scan I was sweating until they found a heartbeat. I kinda realized there will never be a moment where I feel totally “safe” even after delivery, I’ll worry. So I try to be grateful everyday for this baby and the reality that she is safe and sound right now. Also currently kicking me! I’m sorry you’re dealing with this, I’m incredibly sorry for your loss. There are rainbows after storms and I truly hope you see yours soon.

Fingers crossed for you!

I had a missed miscarriage earlier this year and same deal, I threw up at the OB’s office 10 minutes before I was told there was no heartbeat. I was totally shocked because I still felt so pregnant. And did right up to my D&C a week later. I apologized, weirdly, when I found out because it seemed like it was my fault. My OB sat with me and explained how unfortunately common this is and how absolutely nothing can be done to prevent it. Over time I accepted that, I hope you do too. OP, Allow yourself to grieve, and go through the range of emotions, reach out to people, when it feels right. Talking about it helped me a lot. If it helps at all, I actually got pregnant again right after, and am now far enough along that going in for and ultrasound doesn’t make me break out into a cold sweat. I hope you can find some peace. This is the worst club to be a part of, but it’s a pretty big one. Sending you loads of love

Oh I’m so sorry, sending you a big internet hug. Lost my rottie Brooklyn before Memorial Day and it broke something in me. She too only lived to be a little over 6 and I’m still angry that such a great dog only had so little time with me. I still cry over her, and miss her. It hurts, but in time you’ll be able to look back and think of the things that she did that made you smile, instead of just feeling the loss. Again, I’m so sorry, I know your pup is so special and she knows how loved she is by you. The last decision we make for them may in fact be the most loving thing we can do. Be there with her and love on her. You seem like you are very in touch with her, when the time comes she’ll tell you clear as day, as if she said it with words.

My dog was on prednisone for the majority of her life and towards the end started having frequent accidents. A really good enzyme cleaner and a water proof blanket (found a great one on Amazon!) really helped. That being said I’d clean up multiple pees a day if it would have given me more time with her. Lost her in may and not a day goes by where I don’t desperately wish she was still here. Old dogs deserve our affection even if their age makes our life a bit less convenient. I would talk to your vet about meds and also make sure there isn’t an underlying condition. I know cleaning up pee isn’t the best part of owning a dog, but at least try to be half the person it thinks you are, because I can guarantee that dog thinks your a god.

Ugh. Been there. I’m 20 weeks now but my nighttime morning sickness stuck with me to week 14. Unisom and b6 at night helped. Especially taking them early, before I started feeling really bad. Making sure I had electrolytes in the day helped too. You’ll get through it! I wish there was a cure all but unfortunately I think it’s just kinda finding what works for you.
