Counting down 2 Cara's whelping, woke up the other morning and i've been stressed ever since, had a total melt down last night, got in from work after an awful day very late, knackred coz am not sleeping, nowt had been done and I just lost the plot, I really upset my daughter and felt absolutley dreadful afterwards, she hadn't done anything wrong, just trying to help, i'm also having awful nightmares

I am the worlds worst worry wart, everything goes through my head, I know it's coz of Cara and deep down i'm worried, breeder keeps saying everything will b all right and I now it probably will, but it don't stop me getting stressed

I was cleaning like a demon first thing this morning (OH called it nesting lol), like a mad woman, just want everything ready, my dogs mean the whole world 2 me and I couldn't bear it if anything happened, I got Cara at a time in my life when I was incredibly low among other things going on, and she is my main reason 4 getting up and facing the world, tried explaining this 2 folks, but they don't get it, they think i'm obsessed, does anyone feel the same or has felt the same going through this with their bitch, am I being irrational ???? I will b so pleased when pups r here and everything is ok !!!

I can't say I've felt the same, but I can completely empathise and don't think you're obsessed. I think if I was days away from whelping, I would be the exact same. It's natural to worry and I think it would be a bad reflection on you as a breeder if you weren't!

I stress like a mother hen over all my animals. I too got 3 of my cats & one of the dogs at real low points & they are basically my furbabies....so i can totally relate to how you feel at was exactly the same towards the end of Dizzy`s pregnancy.

You are NOT alone {{hugs}} & i`m sure your daughter will understand

Maybe its a north east thing lol
