I think my dog may be suffering from depression. She’s a loving, 5 year old hound and shepard mix who is normally extremely happy and extremely lovey. She’s always been very clingy, especially when my dad isn’t around. She’s taken a liking to me more and more lately and is at the point where she never leaves my side, but this is normal for her.

We brought in two puppies that were 3 weeks old for almost two weeks, but they were a Christmas present for a relative and his neighbor and we had to give them to them. My dog has always been the “false Pregnancy” type of dog, carrying around her squeaky toy when she’s in heat and whimpering, treating it like a real puppy. Well, she became a surrogate mother and even started producing milk and letting the pups suckle. However, now that the pups are gone, she’s clinging to her squeaky toy constantly, always keeps track of it, always lays with it now, and whimpers endlessly when she carries it.

What can I do to help her feel better? I suffer from depression as well and still am grieving so I understand how deep her pain is, how much she’s hurting, but how can I help her if she’s grieving as well? We brought both of the puppies in a few days ago to spend the night, and she seemed to love it, but she’s gone back to carrying her squeaky toy around now that the pups are gone again. The whimpering has lessened, but how can I help her?
I was not the one who brought the puppies home. I’m a fanatic animal lover and was also outraged the puppies were younger than 8 weeks. But their owner was very cruel and kept them outside in extremely cold temperatures, and the pups were incredibly sick when we got them. We care enough we even took both of them to the vet (discovered they both had worms TERRIBLY), and got them all treated and healthy. So don’t pull any, “You don’t care” stuff. I’d rather have young pups than pups frozen to death outside.

i had a silent miscariage final august, exactly where there was no heartbeat and had to have a d&c, i am roughy five-six weeks now, had a scan nowadays, saw sac, yolk, and what he named the “Pregnancy” wha i can only assume a baby, but there was no heartbeat, when i asked would he of expected to see a heartbeat he stated not nessecerally, i am so worried and have to wait now till following tues! would any1 else presume the worse or does this sound typical? thanks all for assist in advance
i had bloods carried out lat tues exhibiting 1805, and repeted fri and they rose to 5000

I am 12 weeks pregnant today and am feeling rather upset. I keep reading online (which is a bad idea I know) about all these things that can happen to my baby. I am terrified of having a miscarriage, just as any pregnant woman would. I heard that once you reach the 12 week mark, your chances drop significantly. Is this true? I had an ultrasound done this past Wednesday and the baby measured 12 weeks exactly and had a heart rate of 160 bpm. I can’t help but feel worried all the time. I was so worried last night that I used my fetal doppler just to make sure I could hear the heart beat, which I could. I could just use some reassurance! I remember my doctor telling me when I was around 9 or 10 weeks that after looking at the ultrasound, he said and I quote, “This looks like a strong Pregnancy.” Is what I am feeling normal? Help!

Okay…what do you believe? Here’s my story. I went in to the doctors office on tuesday for a typical o.b. check up. My eleven week 4day check out up to be exact. She could not hear a heart beat with the doppler. So she scheduled a sonogram for thursday. At the sonogram…they located a gestational sac that measured 7wks. Not 11. And what she “thought” may well be a fetal pole that measured considerably like 6 and 1/two weeks. Nonetheless she could not discover a heart beat. She believes a thing is incorrect. I assumed my child is dead.So she calls up my physician and tells her what she’s seen and what she thinks and so on. I went in to speak to my health practitioner yesterday afternoon. And she explained that i could either be encountering a “molar Pregnancy” or i’m off on my conception dates (which could be because my cycles are very irregular even although i was sure of my lmp.) Now i would assume if it were a molar Pregnancy there would be some visible lumpy tissue on the sonogram. Opinions please?
would just wait for the docs benefits but that won’t be till Friday!!! This week is going to be murder….

Okay, so it starts out like this-
I have been dating my boyfriend for over a year, and overall in the relationship we are fine, it’s his parents that are causing problems. His parents are very old fashioned and say that we “shouldn’t be seeing each other every week”. We use to stay the night every other weekend and they didn’t mind at all, neither of our parents did. Then his mom started saying I had “problems” and that I needed to see a psychologist to balance my brain just because I had depression. The only reason I was upset is because we had to make it “fair” because my boyfriend has a younger brother and sister that never gets to go anywhere, primarily because they have no friends. He has to cook, clean, baby-sit and take care of his parents, and there are days that his parents say he is lazy; and they’re saying we need to make it FAIR? His parents are in their late 30s, so they are not old. Now after I have gone through counseling and his mom DID say that we could go back to the way things were, she told my boyfriend that she wants us to just “see” each other every other weekend. It has been 3 weekends since she told him that, and every time he asks to come up they tell him no for no apparent reason. They won’t let us hang out on Halloween, or even Valentine’s day! We’ve planned to have my boyfriend move in with me at the end of this year, since he’s 17 and he turns 18 in December, but I don’t know how much of this I can take. I’m starting to lash out at him for no reason at all; for stupid things actually. I never use to do this, and I know this is a consequence for what his parents have done to me this past year. It’s been the same thing with them during this entire relationship. We’ve tried getting together and talking to them about it, but it seems to go in one ear and out the other. We even got my parents involved. I love my boyfriend with all my heart, and I don’t want to give up all we have worked for, but what do I do? I don’t think I can wait 1 year for him to move in. I’m so use to having him by my side all the time that I’m becoming very lonely, and I miss being held when I’m sad or stressed. I only get to see him at school, and there they make us stand at least a foot away from each other or we get detention. (Stupid, I know.) I get to hold hands with him at school, but that’s not what I want. I want to just be able to hold him and be held. I’m 16, too. I know young relationships usually don’t last, but I want to cherish what I have with him. I’ve tried meditating, thinking of other things that make me happy, trying to look at the bright side of things, etc. but I just can’t keep this aggression building up away. I use to be very sweet to my boyfriend, and I’d end up being sad when his parents were being jerks, but now I’m so darn angry I lash out all the time. In the past 2 weeks I’ve lashed out at him over 4 times, and I know I don’t mean to. I guess I’m just tired. Please, help? What do I do. What can I do?

Serious answers please, and don’t result in me dumping him because I’m not going to. My shrink doesn’t specialize in relationship help, so I need some different advice.

my Pregnancy has been rather easy, so easy in fact, that i am still working. i havent been tired or anything. no complications, bleeding, anemia, diabetes…nothing. my doctor always says i have “a boring Pregnancy”. but something strange has been happening and i would like some answers before my doctors appointment on thrusday.

okay, so on 4th of july at a fire work show while me, my baby’s dad, and my sister were sitting in getting ready to get out i all of the sudden felt shaky, and like i was going to puke and faint. i began to black out but i didnt end up fainting. i felt sick and shakey for the next couple of hours. it was weird. then earlier today i the same thing happened!

i hope you guys can help me

hi can someone help me figure the theme of these 2 poem and short story share.

“Metaphors” by Sylvia Plath tlaks about symptoms and things that happened to her during the Pregnancy.

“The Mother,” by Gwendolyn Brooks is seems to about mother regretting about having abortion in the past.

“hills like white elephant” by ernest hemingway is short story about abortion; the couple are planning to have abortion..( the girl don’t really want to but the man wants her to have abortio)

Can someone please help me figure about the realtionship between the 2 poem and the short story.
I need to write an essay soon but can seems to come up with a thesis statement.
I know that all 3 is about Pregnancy but I want to say something that is more than just Pregnancy but can seems to come up with one.
Please help
Thank you so much.

trying to kill her baby!!!
she acts happy about it and all but i see her crying in her room and like hitting her stomach and stuff and shes doing all these weird things like she wont eat or drink ANYTHING and when i ask her why shes just like “oh im just not hungry/thirsty, it must be part of the Pregnancy.” and im not purposely looking for things shes doing to kill her baby but shes drinking vinegar? not like out in front of everyone but who the heck is gonna drink vinegar for fun??? im not trying to be like her birth coach or anything but its little things i have noticed and its all adding up to be awfully strange…like she will use a heating pad and im sure its for her cramps cuz she must have them but she will sit there for litterally HOURS with this heating pad on her stomach on the highest heat setting and it must be terribly uncomfortable!!! i can look at her face and see the discomfort. i learned somewhere that exposing a futus to like alot of heat or un-normal temperatures could harm it and i try to tell her these things in like a joking kind of light-hearted way, tellin her about what i heard and shes like “oh dont worry im sure it can stand a little heat” im like haha ok if you say so.
im so worried that shes trying to harm it i dont know what shes gonna do. shes like ashamed to give it up for adoption or to get an abortion but shes harming herself and her baby at the same time!!!
what should i do? i dont think anyone else has noticed anything. should i tell someone?

I am 26 weeks pregnant and during the early weeks I began to suffer slight back pain, now it is progressively worse. I was diagnosed two months ago with “a touch of sciatica” since then I feel it is much worse. I walk for exercise, but now I I hobble, ( I walked 5 miles yesterday, I try to get 15 miles a week and I want to be in shape for labor ) I cannot stretch,enough , it hurts so much, a sharp pain in my lower lower back almost my bottom. What can I do? I rested today but there is no improvement in the pain. If I sit too much my feet and ankles swell and I hobble, if I exercise I hobble. (my OB warned me about deep vein thrombosis so I need to stay active) Please only helpful responses, I don’t need to be welcomed into the “wonderful world of Pregnancy” no sardonic responses please!
