Awww poor baby I bet any minute you'll have a pup. Your doing Great Trini and Trinis mom too....

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 07:21 PM

Walking is good for her it will help the labor progress faster.

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 07:28 PM

In between her contractions she lays and falls asleep for a few minutes and there she goes again walking briskly around the room like shes looking for something...

I am glad to know it os good for her!

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 07:35 PM

She's probably just conserving her energy. In an early post you said her vulva was swollen - are you seeing a bulge at the vulva and the area between the tail and the vulva?

Yes, big buldge. And her last 2 contractions are 7 mins apart...she is contracting and walking again quickly...she is peeing again

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 07:40 PM

That bulge is the baby. Do you have any KY Jelly if so, very gently lubricate just inside the vulva. Are her contractions strong, like she is hunching up to defecate?

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 07:48 PM

her belly get really hard like it turns nto two sections almost...she is squatting down but more to pee pee just a dot with each one...she just finished another contraction

Marcellacml · 11-23-2006, 07:48 PM

ohh how exciting congratulations...well...soon lol

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 07:52 PM

Note the time that you feel "hard labor", forceful contractions began.

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 07:55 PM

Do you feel that her contractions are strong enough? With one right at the door it shouldn't take too many contractions to see a sac (sometimes they do come out and then go back in).

daisy mae06 · 11-23-2006, 07:55 PM

Oh I am so Excited I need to get to sleep but I can't till I know Trini is ok and all is going good. Come on trini I know you can do it. I am praying for you.

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 08:02 PM

12 minutes since your last post - I bet your a grandma now! If not, is she still looking around nervously during contractions - it feels like they need to defecate and a well house-trained dog might fight the urge and delay labor.

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 08:09 PM

I just realized I did not get unwaxed dental floss. Is it madatory to tie the puppies cords? or could she just take over that part and if she doesn't take over and I need to cut the cord would it harm the puppy if I did not tie it. I have waxed dental floss or sewing string...

She had a fourth contraction since 7:29pm just now at 7:51pm...Just before her contraction I lubricated the inside of her vulva with KY. The tip of my figer just went right in, no straining or anything

Thank you all again. I feel like you are all right here with us and helping. I do not know what I would do without this forum right now...

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 08:13 PM

I forgot to click post on that last one...she went 7:51pm, 7:58pm then 8:05pm...still no puppies...they seem pretty hard but it is my first time delivering puppies and I could be wrong. But for sure they are contractions and she is still in her "routine" I mentioned earlier. I will post a pic of her in 1 minute...

Thank you all again!

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 08:17 PM

Contractions usually come in waves of three or five and then a resting period before they start again. If you don't feel that her contractions are strong enough try barely inserting your fingertip (no nails) and tickling the top of her vagina (called feathering) this will strengthen the contractions.

Do you have a pair of hemostats - dental floss is really hard to use, everything is so slippery. There is no rush in tying off the cord (my daughter just had a baby and did what they call a lotus birth where you leave the placenta attached and let it fall off naturally, gross, but no problems). Anyway, back on subject. Clean the airway with a bulb syringe before even worrying about the cord - dont place the baby's lungs below the head until you do this and breathing is not gurgly sounding. You can just pinch the cord about an inch for a minute or two, then cut with dull scissors, not sharp, it's actually better to tear it. My moms actually do all of this on their own, but you do risk an over eager Mom chewing it too close.
