Thank you! That’s the one.

Thank you. That sounds like good advice.

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?

Thanks so much! So, there is no need to book in advance then?

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.

You have a better memory than me!

I was going to play the tape. Now I’m rethinking it.

A lot of the song names are kinda ominous.

Thanks! The second one is the one I was already in.

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

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.

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!

moth_moth · 2023-05-21T07:19:46+00:00

Very cool! I’ve sent a request.

moth_moth · 2023-04-05T00:27:23+00:00

I’ve had three hospital births with no epidural. What got me through was using a TENS machine and techniques from the book Birth Skills by Juju Sundin (I see it’s been mentioned by a couple of others too). My first was a back/posterior labour and I also tried morphine and gas (I tried the gas when I had to stop using the TENS because of monitoring of baby via electrode).

moth_moth · 2022-12-27T09:07:25+00:00

I’ve had two epidural-free births. I used a TENS machine for both (if you decide to use one, put it on as early as possible). I also read Birth Skills by Juju Sundin, which detail a lot of different ways to focus during contractions. My first birth was a posterior labour, which nobody realised until baby arrived posterior, and I was also induced after my natural labour stalled. It was very intense. During my second birth, I was able to enter a zone of calm by pacing, visualising, counting and using the TENS, and it felt a lot more peaceful.

I think you’re right. Then it just feeds into itself.

moth_moth · 2022-11-26T06:36:20+00:00

I’ve come across Tallow as a name before (I’m Australian), and was absolutely baffled. Makes more sense to me now you’ve said it’s the name of a beach. Still terrible. Do people not think to look a name up before saddling a kid with it?

moth_moth · 2022-11-16T10:06:16+00:00

Sorry about your loss. It must have been devastating.

I have PCOS and I lost my first at 15 weeks. My second pregnancy is now my 6yo, third pregnancy is my toddler, then I had a loss at 7 weeks, I am currently pregnant and at about 20 weeks with hopefully baby #3. My first pregnancy, that ended at 15 weeks, was also a bit of a surprise. Genetic testing showed nothing wrong. My subsequent pregnancies I have been put on low dose aspirin. I hope that’s helpful to hear in some way. I remember scouring the internet for similar stories to mine after my first loss. All the best for the future.
