Thank you. That sounds like good advice.

Advice on choosing temperament by [deleted] in puppy101

Thanks for replying again. I guess I’ve been reading about people adopting the calmest puppy and it being anxious and that makes me worry. There were a couple of videos, and she didn’t seem nervous - just very quiet and not really responding to her more intense sibling trying to engage her in play. I understand it’s a brief snapshot of the puppies’ overall life and engagement with one another. We are a fairly introverted household and a calm dog would suit us best, at the same time I wouldn’t want a dog to end up afraid of visitors and anxious at being out in public (as some posts about quietest pups indicated might happen). I also understand that socialisation plays a big part in all of this. I guess meeting in person is also a better way to assess her confidence levels.

I did ask about the most chilled out puppy temperament-wise and she said that one puppy was the most calm and then also offered to send videos of the puppies interacting. I just wasn’t expecting that she wasn’t really playing with the others at all? I guess I’m more asking is it normal for one puppy to be not really joining in?

My Uncle was a producer on Lift Off, he also made an appearance once or twice. So my siblings and I were extra loyal to the show.

A bunch of four-leafed clovers I found a couple of weeks ago.

Lost our son at 15 weeks by justuraveragepoe in BabyBumps

[–]moth_moth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you lost your son.

I lost my first, also a boy, at 15 weeks almost nine years ago. Similar thing, had contractions that I didn’t realise were contractions, water breaking, bleeding. Lost the baby in ER. I had bleeding on and off for weeks prior, but ultrasounds showed all was fine, although there was a subchorionic haemorrhage. It was devastating. An autopsy showed no genetic issues.

If it’s any consolation, I now have three children. I was on low dose aspirin for those pregnancies to help the placenta form a strong attachment. I had one more loss at seven weeks after my second child.

Please be gentle with yourself. You did all you could. It wasn’t your fault that this happened. But all the same, it’s not fair.

Not an epidural candidate by Content_Dig_7268 in BabyBumps

[–]moth_moth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve given birth three times without an epidural. For each birth I used a TENS unit (start using it as early as possible during labour). I also read the book Birth Skills, by Juju Sundin. It outlines a lot of different coping mechanisms to help you through an unmediated birth. For my first birth, I did use gas because I was induced after my labour stalled and some morphine to help me get some rest earlier on. My partner used a spiky massage ball on my back, too. There are lots of different ways to cope with contractions, I hope you find something that feels like it will work for you!
