my 16.5 year old dog passed away, while 18 weeks pregnant

[MumOfHals]

I'm 18 weeks pregnant and today we had to say goodbye to my 16.5 year old dog. I'm so heart broken, the house seems empty. He was more than a dog to us, I'm sobbing constantly.

I'm worried how this will affect baby, I've been really worried and upset for the past 48hours and since saying goodbye I've not stopped crying.

Has anyone experienced heart break during pregnancy and was their baby ok? I don't want to stress baby out so trying to stay as relaxed and calm as possible xxx

Your baby will be fine. Mourn your dog however you need to

Your baby will be absolutely fine. I had a massive bereavement when pregnant and although it's hard your body does what it needs to do.

So sorry for your loss - lost my 16.5yr old Ddog this time last year and it was heartbreaking. X
To your question - baby will be fine - my sister died (suicide) 3 weeks before one of my children was born - she was fine.
