Mamas with dogs, what do you plan tondi with the dog when you are in the hospital? We are new to the city so we don’t have family or close friends around, only colleagues. Since the baby may come any time, it’s hard to arrange a dog sitter ahead of time. Good thing is the hospital is only 10 minutes away. Is it realistic for the dad to come home and checkout the dog every few hours while I am in delivery?

I would establish a relationship with a dog sitter and ask them in advance if they’d be willing to be on call around your due date. A neighbor might be a good option in a pinch as well - we unexpectedly had to do that when my second was born.

This is what we did! You could also start using a doggie daycare that does boarding to build a relationship and get your pup comfortable there

After the baby it may be nice to have a place for the dog to go and get energy out anyway! Some days you just need a break

I would say it is not realistic for your husband to be running back in forth while you’re in labor

Rover! I’d recommend just hiring dog walkers if you can. Find one you like in advance and ask them their availability to help in a date range. It’s not super realistic to have your partner leave every few hours - they’ll want to be there for those first moments.

My vet does boarding. I would recommend looking into that.

You will NOT want the dad coming home occasionally to take care of the dog. It will be terrible timing or you won't want him to leave. I'm normally the opposite of clingy but when I was in labor I wouldn't let my husband leave the room for anything, it was a weird instinctual needed-him-there kind of feeling.

29F. I’ve become burnt out on spending my free time with people I don’t enjoy being around (i.e people who I feel relieved to leave after spending time with them). With that said, I’ve started to distance myself from my dad, 2 aunts, childhood best friend, and other friends. Has anyone gone through something similar? I just can’t get myself to muster the energy to be fake when I’m around them, but I feel guilty that I’m basically cutting them out of my life and am nervous I will regret doing so.

In my 1 year in corporate this is what I have understood.
1. Choose your friends wisely.
2. Focus on skill development.
3. Gossip and office politics are more or less common thing in corporate. We may not avoid it but limit ourselves as much as possible.
4. expect unexpected things.
5. No one really cares for you, so you have to set
your own priority and take decision accordingly.
6. You will understand whether your colleague is actually your friend or not only when you will be on np 😀.
