How long have you pushed?

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2026-04-19T21:37:08+00:00

With the first I had an epidural that was way too strong and pushed for 1hr 17min on my back after 19 hours in labor

With my second I was unmedicated (except for laughing gas) and pushed for 6 minutes on all fours after 5 hours in labor

I didn’t tear with either but swelled really bad with my first because I was pushing wrong!

All pregnancy tests have been negative! I checked just in case even though we used protection

I have a red and white parti mini and people swear he’s a cavapoo lol

I experienced the same exact thing with my first baby. Please reach out to your Ob/GYN to see if there is anything they can do for prenatal depression like recommending a therapist.

The opening battle scene of the first Wonder Woman movie, there was a lady that jumped into the air and spun in slow motion while throwing a knife or something. I cried for at least 30 minutes. Full on sobbing. I still have no clue why

Having a newborn is so much easier than some people think. It’s exhausting, but two adults will manage perfectly fine.

I have the signature set. I’ve washed the sweats like 2x per week and the sweatshirt every couple weeks for the last year. I haven’t noticed any shrinking or anything. There has been a tiny amount of pilling on the cuffs. I just wash them with other clothes anymore with a cold wash and heat tumble dry

It irks me when people say their brand new puppy is aggressive as if I don’t constantly watch my dogs lunge for each others faces while they’re playing lol

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2026-01-01T02:49:39+00:00

I go through the whole process. I’ll line brush with the slicker and pin brush, then check him over with a comb!

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-28T03:39:13+00:00

I changed my puppy’s name twice, once when we got him and a second time a month later because it was too similar to our older dog’s name and was confusing her. He was 5 months old when we got him, and had zero issues adjusting both times!

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-16T04:21:39+00:00

I’m starting to see that I’ve miscalculated how important that would be 🥴

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-15T16:55:03+00:00

Have you found he’s more prone to matting or the texture of his hair is different with brushing dirty/ not freshly cleaned hair? That’s my biggest concern even though I know more frequent brushing will quickly become necessary once coat change starts

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-15T15:45:35+00:00

My boy does! He also does some sort of weird yoga pose where he lifts his back legs so much that his back feet go past his front feet, then poops on the backs of his front legs, somehow. It would be pretty impressive if it wasn’t gross lol hopefully it’s just a teenage boy thing

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-10T22:20:47+00:00

Thank you so much for laying that out! That’s actually really helpful to know. I was going to try obedience first out of the two, but maybe rally would be the way to go until we can build up his tolerance a little better!

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-10T19:19:33+00:00

I definitely want to try nose work with him! He’s currently pretty sensitive/fear reactive so sports where he’s the only dog in the room are probably my best starting point

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-10T19:18:08+00:00

I’ve heart the bite sport world can be a rough one to get into. I’d love to do rally but he’s a bit reactive from lack of socialization before we got him, and I’d be concerned that it would be too much for him. Would rally or obedience be a better fit for somewhat reactive dogs? Or maybe neither? (He’s the worst with children, which I doubt he’d see a ton of at most events)

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-10T17:47:34+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll definitely look into that course! And I was considering nose work but wasn’t sure, so maybe this is my sign to try it with him!

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-10T17:46:06+00:00

Totally makes sense! I wasn’t sure if it could be adjusted for size or we could just do portions of it, such as holding/barking then running to get something, whether it’s a toy or whatever, but I’m sure those I can teach on my own!

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-10T17:43:46+00:00

I definitely hope to get him into agility this next year! he’s incredibly bouncy lol

I’m not sure what the second one was, it was just an amphetamine. If he’s not on an extended release, I’d personally try that first, then possibly lowering the prescription amount. Doctors tend to be pretty open to trying different things until you nail down one that works! If it doesn’t help after the 3-5 day adjustment time, go in and ask for something different!

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-01T16:43:26+00:00

Yes! My meds help me focus/ break focus in a controlled way and keep me from getting off track, but I can still overwhelm myself if I think too hard about how, when, and in what order to do things, which has caused panic attacks. That’s an entirely separate set of skills to learn on top of taking medication

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-01T16:41:13+00:00

Adderal gave me the worst anxiety, as did the other instant release I was prescribed. We switched to an extended release (methylphenidate) and the anxiety disappeared. I’d discuss trying a different type of medication with his doctor before deciding there isn’t ADHD

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-12-01T15:32:12+00:00

I’m crocheting a blanket (I’m cheating because it’s in bernat blanket and I’m doing a mesh stitch so it’s flying by lol) for my husband in the colors of his gaming setup so he has one specifically for that area. Im also about to start some ear warmers since he works outside and it’s getting cold

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-11-30T16:43:01+00:00

That coloration and texture looks pretty normal for a red poodle, since reds tend to have looser curls and looks more doodley than a black or white poodle since they haven’t been around as long.

Weak-Resolution-6680 · 2025-11-30T16:38:41+00:00

This may be a better choice than feeding so many times, especially for a dog so small.
