I got my boy as a high maintenance pet and farm dog, he does a lot of training he is currently in Scent work, but his main job is just being the goodest good boy no matter what he does he's always the goodest good boy, and just hanging around and getting beaten up by chickens apparently, he's really loving the scent work and I've already found a use for it, he's found several hidden nests of eggs for me just need to teach him not to eat the eggs once he finds them LOL, his next favorite activity is getting on my 3-year-old dog's nerves, pretty sure she wants to send him back to the distributor LOL

I still even though he gets on my nerves stand by my decision to get him, I absolutely love him and knew what I was getting myself into anyway, I just did not expect the tail to be such a weapon LOL, that thing Wags and it clears off the coffee table and bruises your shins in the process LOL, but he's a good boy and I wouldn't trade him for the world.

(For some reason it's not allowing me to attach images to this post for some reason)

I'm going for my first ultrasound later this evening, it's a transvaginal ultrasound which is already scary to me but that's not the thing that's got me the most scared, for some reason I have this fear that they're not going to see anything.

I took a at-home pregnancy test it came back positive and then my first OB appointment also confirmed it with a pregnancy test, they are going to date my pregnancy today and find out how far along I am, I am so scared for whatever reason they're not going to see anything like I had absorbed the pregnancy or something, I know it's unlikely but I'm terrified this is my first pregnancy and I want everything to go right.

Has anyone else had this fear? Or am I being too emotional?

I'm only in my first trimester but I do know that I absolutely want to breastfeed, and if the baby inherits my problem I will have to breastfeed because formula when I was a baby you made me bloat really bad, but past that it's just something that I personally really want to do.

I am going to be stay at home fully But I'm not sure if I should get a breast pump or not, someone mentioned to me that it's good to completely empty yourself out after nursing the baby and just help build up milk supply even if the baby can't eat it all I could put it away and save it.

I know that it can be painful sometimes and it's a good idea to have some nip care stuff on hand, I just want to know everything I can possibly learn before the baby is here.

I know After a recent video that came across my feed that not every breast pump is going to work for you comma And the flange I'm not sure exactly What that part is might not be the right size so I need to get a certain size? Not sure how to do that so figured I would ask you guys this as well.

Any tips and advice you guys can give me would be great!

I'm only 8 weeks but due to Limited funds at the moment (my boyfriend's now fiance is trying to find a job but there's not really many in my area) We won't be able to buy anything all in one go or even in two paychecks, fortunately we do get a steady $850 USD every month but obviously that's not a lot, I mentioned that I want to start collecting baby stuff now, I already have several outfits some blankets and a crib that I had collected over the years (always wanted a baby but didn't expect it to be so soon) since I'm only 8 weeks he's worried that something might happen and the baby stuff that we get won't be needed anymore or we would get it for the wrong gender, personally I like neutral things anyway but I am okay with putting my baby in any color because it's just a color.

What do you think? Is it okay to start getting stuff now so long as it will actually last until the baby gets here or should I wait longer?

I'm almost 8 weeks along, going next month for a heartbeat check and even though I've already been to the OGBYN it still doesn't feel real, I'll look at my belly sometimes and just stare thinking about that there is something the size of a blueberry in there but it doesn't feel real, when does it actually start feeling real? I feel like I'm in a fever dream

I unexpectedly got pregnant, I'm 19 currently 337 lb, I have been trying to lose weight before I got pregnant I lost about 200 lb but now I don't know if I should continue trying to lose weight or not, I am worried I do want to keep the baby even though it was not planned, I just really want to know what I should expect and what I should do, I'm taking a prenatal right now and I'm going to start taking one baby aspirin a day as well, I have a prenatal appointment the 9th of June

I went to the gynecologist yesterday because I had missed my period, it had not crossed my mind that I could be pregnant because we used protection... I guess not enough.

They told me I was pregnant and told me not to take Ibuprofen advil, if I need to take pain medication to take Tylenol in moderation, past that she said to take folic acid and a baby aspirin, I got something with folate in it because I couldn't find folic acid I don't know if that matters.

I still haven't gotten Baby Aspirin because the store is out of stock right now and I only have cash so I can't order.

But past what she told me she didn't tell me anything else but Schedule a ultrasound appointment when I went to the front desk, she asked if I have any questions but with my social anxiety that gets even worse when I'm at a doctor I couldn't get anything out of my mouth in time for her to answer them, I kind of felt rushed but they did have a lot of patience there so I'm not too upset about it.

I'm 19 I'll be 20 next month, my boyfriend does know and now he's talking about marrying me, I'm scared not only because this is my first pregnancy I'm not ready and I have very racist and religious parents, and my boyfriend is black they don't know I'm dating him but I guess they're going to figure it out eventually.

I was told I have to go to the Ogbyn Every four weeks, currently unless something happens I do have full coverage Medicaid so I'm not worried about that, but I don't have a job and I was told by the OGBYN due to family history I shouldn't be lifting more than 20 pounds and I should restrict activity, my family does have to drive me to the doctor because I don't have my license my boyfriend doesn't either find out, I know she's going to be mad at me and probably yell at me but she's going to be safer than my parents, my parents might get physical.

I am overweight I've been trying to lose weight, I'm currently 337 lb, I know that's too big and I have lost 200 lb in the past year and a half but I don't know what's going to happen to the pregnancy due to my current weight, can I still continue to try to lose weight or should I stop?.

Seems Just kind of like a rant And I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do I don't know exactly what to type I'm scared.

Edit: to add that the symptoms I'm currently feeling is really just a tender chest, my bed sucks so I don't know if my back pain is from the pregnancy or the bed or both, I have started to feel a little bit nauseous but it goes away pretty quick and that's only been in the past couple of days but the tender chest is the biggest thing that's bothering me besides feeling stiff in general

Going to stay at my friends for a few days and they have cows, taking my dogs with me since I can and they want me to but he's never seen cows like my older dog has, he's grew up around chickens cats rabbits small dogs goats but never has seen a cow, any tips besides keeping him on a leash? He's good with all of my other animals most of the time just ignored them but the cattle are very nosy and are able to come right up to the house

If I press the pickup button to automatically transport back to the home stable, it kicks me from the game entirely, but if I trailer back to the home stable from any trailer in the game I don't get kicked, I'm confused if this is my device or a bug

Sorry if it spelled wrong my autocorrect hates me.

My game is taking 9,000 years to update so I can't log on until later tomorrow to find out so I was wondering if you guys would tell me if there is a bizarre going on right now, and what kind of horses are in it?

Again I'm sorry for the misspelling

My neighbors have two dogs one is a 9-year-old XL Bully the other one is his son which is a 2-year-old XL Bully American Pitbull cross.

There's a lot of things that go on with that household and those dogs that I don't agree with And stuff but if I named everything then This would just be too long of a post, A gist of it is though is that the 2-year-old is basically crazy the 9-year-old's easy to handle he's chill he's fine, the two-year-old they cannot take outside on a lead because he drags them literally knocks them down and drags them across the yard, so they have to bring a chain into the door hook him to that and just open the door and hope he doesn't snap the chain or collar.

He's got a bunch of other issues but I'm not going to get into those unless you ask me yourself in the comments.

What they have been asking me to help them with and for advice is now the 2-year-old is starting to act aggressive towards the nine-year-old, it started out is just growling and snapping and now it's fully attacking they physically can't get the dogs loose, they said the 9-year-old is listening he's backing off he is behaving but the two year old just continues to attack trying to hurt and kill the other dog, he's already caused the other dog to have to get 35 stitches.

It's to the point they have to pour hot water on the dog To get it off of the older one, they asked me what to do because they know I have experience with big dogs that are reactive, I told them the best thing to do since they live in a camper are not able to put the dogs in crates because there's no room in the camper, and they physically cannot handle the dog that it would be better to rehome the dog to someone that could, they don't want to because they love the dog and want to keep a piece of their older dog when he's gone.

I tried to explain to him what's going to happen That the older dog's lifespan is going to be shortened even more if they continue to keep these dogs Together, because they are eventually going to get in a fight when no one's there or when the husband's not there because the wife is not able to even get out of bed without assistance, I explained to them that they're going to come home to a dead or severely injured dog one day.

But they do not want to get rid of him especially the husband the husband's really the one being stubborn because he loves the dog, I explained to them that I understand that he loves the dog, but it would be in the best interest for both dogs to rehome the two year old, it's an act of love not an act of hate they're not throwing the dog away they're giving it a chance to live a happy life.

They're not understanding What I am talking about, the most that they have done so far is they're starting to try to keep the dogs separate by when they let them outside they will tie one in one spot and the other one Out Of Reach from each other, (no they do not walk their dogs they just tie them outside)

When they leave they are starting to lock the older one in the bathroom but the problem is that bathroom door can be easily torn down because it's just cloth, eventually that's going to happen and it's going to be bad.

I have anonymously called Animal Control but unfortunately they are not doing anything that will make the animal control take the dogs, the dogs are being fed they are being allowed outside on chains that are long enough, they have shelter and water when they do go outside, and inside they technically aren't doing anything illegal, especially since they started trying to separate the dogs so Animal Control is useless right now.

So any kind of advice you guys can give me would be great on how I could continue trying to coach them to get rid of the dog, I've even asked them if they would give it to family where they could go see the dog but they just don't want to, I'm not sure how to continue approaching it if I should go a path that scares them even more or a path that you would take to talk to a 5 year old, or if there should be something a bit more drastic that I personally should do.

Also should add that neither dog is fixed, and they don't want to fix either dog because they believe it's wrong to alter them
