I'm having a baby!
« on: March 11, 2004, 10:25:36 AM »
Hello everyone, I wanted to share my good news with you  :D

I have just found out that I am 8 weeks pregnant and I'm bursting with excitement  :lol:

We are still in shock as we thought our family was complete. That's why we got our lovely Maggie in December.

Does anyone have experience of having a cocker first then a baby??
Will Maggie be ok?? She will be 12 months old when I have the baby.
I would hate for her to feel left out. She's my baby too!

How nice for you and I wish you all the best.  Funnily enough, I have sold puppies to a few people who became pregnant very shortly afterwards (perhaps it is something to do with the maternal instinct!). :lol:

Congratulations  :D

As long as you treat your dog just like the older children when the baby comes along, you won't have a problem.  Include him in everything, get him to "help" you & don't forget to cuddle him so he doesn't feel left out.

My first cocker was 7 years old when my son was born & I never had a problem with him at all.  As far as Teddy was concerened it was his baby too & he "helped" me to look after him (well, that's what Teddy thought).  :D

HUGE congratulations on your wonderful news  :)

I had a 9 year old Border Collie when I gave birth to my first child. I had also owned a rescue Chow but I had to give her to my dad when I found out I was pregnant as a condition of her rehoming was that she was NOT to be around young children, she had bitten them in the past.
However, my collie was wonderful with my daughter and watched over her. We made sure that from about 3 months into the pregnancy we started laying down rules about where she slept (had previously slept in the bedroom) and we invited lots of friends with baby's over. We also put the moses basket in the lounge 3  weeks before the baby was due to get her used to the idea.
We made sure she had enough attention when we took our baby home and she was absolutely fine. Sadly we lost her a year later to cancer  :(
Chances are Maggie will be fine with the baby. Lots of people panic but although dogs often become a bit jealous at first, it's very rare for a dog to harm a small baby.
