Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi ladies. I just had a possibly TMI question to ask. I am 34w preggo and for the last week or so have been feeling a lot of a___l pressure from baby. I have to go poop at least 3x a day. With my 1st pregnancy I felt the complete opposite...constipation! so this is different for me. Anyone experiencing the same thing? I also have a lot of sharp cervix pain.

Dawn, I'm so sorry:(:(:( I've been sitting here reading your posts and crying:( I can't even think of any words to say to try and make you feel better -except I know that Quazi was happy with you and he knew how much he was loved....regardless of how long someone is here for, I think being happy and knowing that you're loved are the most important things....and you gave him all of that:)

Dawnie, noooooo. I'm so sorry. Losing a pet is like losing a child and I know there's nothing anybody can say to make you feel better right now but just know that you gave him the best life he could have had. You loved him, and he knew it. And you have to take some comfort in knowing that he's not suffering anymore. Even on his last days, you were loving him and there's alot to be said for that. I hope you know that we are all here for you, whenever you need to talk. And you can call me anytime. My heart is with Quazi right now.

Good Morning - Thank you so much for all the kind words. I could not sleep last night I went to bed at midnight finally after crying all those hours - I hd to take tylenol pm to fall asleep and I woke up at 3 ..then on and off til 6am then I wake up and come down stairs thinkin ok I slept some of it off ..nope I come into the kitchen and start cryng all over again. I have had so many people tell me to get another dog but its hard - myhead tells me to do it cause it would distract me and I wont feel so lonely but then my heart says no it wont be the same ... i dont know .. Im just miserable everytime i look in the kitchen its SO empty I cry all over again... just silence. :o/

My husband had a chow they had had since he was a little boy that they had to put to sleep a little before we moved in together. His dad brought home a pitbull puppy maybe a month later and he automatically took to him but I don't think they bonded the same way. Getting another one might distract you but I don't really think that's the solution. Some people think it will help but you can't just replace a pet. I guess either decesion really has it's pros and cons. You'll have little violet here quite soon and I'm sure she'll be doing a lot of distracting! The best thing you can do is keep busy right now. Maybe you'll find some comfort in doing something commerative like getting a plaque made or a special frame to honor his memory. It'll get you out of the house and I don't know, things like that for me seem to help.

You know talking to him might help too. Maybe that sounds wierd but I had a very close friend drown about 2 and a half years ago. If something is on my mind I'll just kind of talk out loud to him because I like to think he's watching over me like he looked out for me when he was alive. I guess it's like when people talk to God, but it seems more personal. Like I said, talking out loud to yourself probably sounds odd but it always made me feel better.

Yeah Kay, I agree. My dog from childhood pa__sed away 3 years ago on Christmas, and it took me a good 2 weeks to stop crying about it. I know everyone says to get another pet very quickly but I needed a couple months to greive. It was so quiet around the house and it seemed like she was still there, just being super quiet. But when we finally did get Diesel, it was good because we had finished mourning. But on the other hand my neighbors dog pa__sed about a year ago and they went out and got a shelter puppy right away and I think it helped the husband get over the loss much quicker. So I guess everyone is different. Dawn, I would say to just let yourself greive in whatever way you need to.

Thank you kay - I cant even say his name without becoming hysterical right now - but maybe once its not so fresh to me it will help. I definatly know there is NO replacing that dog ever - because I had him since he was born and he almost died then and I fought to keep him alive so it was like he was a child to me - My parents are coming today and bringing harley which was quazis mom and she looks just like him and has the same temperment just more energy. But at least in some way I will connect with her like we both lost a son. So I may keep her with me for a week or so then like a week or two before violet gets here I can bring her up to my dad and kind of play it by ear if I am too busy with the baby ..but its weird cause I have trouble sleeping without a dog here I feel naked almost like vulnerable. I think I am so ok with not having a man but I rely on having my dogs. I dont know - for now I am just grieving

DDT - to answer your question, I was like that with my dd. I had to poop a LOT. Now I'm more towards the constipation side, although the iron pills I'm now taking make me have to go more which is kind of opposite of what they should do. I got a ton of cervix pressure too - with my dd. She was really low the whole ti me and ready to come out!

OMG, Dawn im so sorry to hear about Quazzi, i accidentally clicked on this link from my history sites and it let me in for some odd reason which im glad for and come to hear your news. Time will help you heal and lil Violet will be of much help, try remembering the good times you had with him rather than his last few bad days so that you can have a smile on your face when you think of him.

how ya holding up dawnie sweets??? it's super nice to hear that your parents are coming to see you today and quazi's momma too. having your family there will help and you need to cry..... it's okay to cry and to grieve... i would wait to get another puppers until you feel ready and not like you are 'replacing' quazi cuz you will never be able to 'replace' him. like you said... he was your baby. and i know that everything will be fine with lil' violet... i think that you are just worrying and there is nothing wrong with that and no not everything you touch turns to shyt.... just look at chastidy and your precious lil' belly and know that they are beautiful and you created two beautiful girls..... :o)

Thank you marisol .. and I know it will get easier it is just so hard right now it is hard to imagine it will get better. My dad brought harley over and it made me cry like a baby - cause she reminds me so much of quazi but yet she isnt him and he was perfect to me just a big love bug - its like every time i start to think abut something else it comes right back in my mind that he is gone to remind me and i get choked up or flat out cry .. Harley is going to stay with me for the week then after my shower my dad may take her back ..she is a nut she is in my dog tormenting the neighbors lol just like quaz did every single person who pa__ses by gets barked at like she is ravenous .. its cute What sucks is any time I go to give her a kiss or something I feel like ... aww i used to kiss quaz like this an then i cry again I should have told my dad to bring his shepard cause then he wouldnt look like quaz .. ahh who knows i dont think anything will do .. I just need to really accept the fact that he isnt coming home. O and get this the vet tells me for the IV and xray they had to redo on him (cause the first vet didnt see the blockage but the 2nd vet did so he wanted to redo a xray now that its too late) and after they cremate him my bill is 660 dollars.. i was suppose to call and make the payment for hald on my dads cc today but i didnt feel like it - they can mail me a bill ... I will pay it eventually i guess

It was nice having my parents here though disko - I let my mom and dad feel the baby move around I think she was poking her b___t out lol .. I know your right I just have to stop worrying I tend to fall back to my negative outlook on things when stuff goes wrong :o(

Yeah June mommies are awesome! Even Kay who will be delivering in May. You're still a June Mommy in my eyes!

And Dawn they shouldn't even be charging you since they missed the first blockage. What did they have to say for themselves? I swear I hate how they can call you up like yeah your dog isn't gonna make it but you still need to pay us. How insensitive! When our dog died we ended up paying over 1000 dollars because it was a holiday. I couldn't beleive it. Dawn it will also make you feel a little better when you get his ashes because it will be like he's home with you again. Obviously not the same, but at least you will have him.

Oh I cant have the ashes that is an extra 125 dollars lol .. yeah they are not even my normal vet so I will pay them when I get around to it - what are they gonna do ...keep him? Marisol chastidy is pretty good actually - she loved quazi but no one did the way i did .. she also tends to be a stronger personality I think ..I dont cry like this for humans only dogs ..her I dont know what she cries for but its not much.
