Puppy and Pregnancy

Let me start with, it’s been a seven year journey, ending with IVF.

We said goodbye to our very beloved rescue golden retriever on June 8th. She was truly the biggest joy of our entire lives up to this point. We only had 22 very short months with her, and losing her was definitely one of the hardest things we have had to endure.

IVF injections began June 12th.

There was a massive hole in our hearts, left from losing our girl. We chose not to rescue again right away, but instead got a puppy on July 5th. I didn’t know whether the IVF had worked or not, until July 10th.

The first week with the puppy was fine. Then the nausea started.

I am heartbroken, and feel so sad for this little girl. The puppy smell is making me feel SO sick. The thought of being around her with her smell makes me feel sick. She is of course adorable and so deserving of love, but I just can’t offer it.

Has anyone been through this with a new puppy smell..? How did you handle it?

She’s only 11 weeks old, and I want to bond with her, but my body isn’t allowing me to.

Rehoming her is not an option - I simply don’t believe in rehoming a dog short of a true emergency. And obviously my husband loves her, as does our other senior golden. It’s just a me problem.

I haven't experienced this but I know there are things you can take for it like Preggie Pops etc. I know I saw someone mention either on this board or my BMB but sniffing an alcohol pad can help. I haven't tried it but I think someone else said they tried it and it worked as well.

Hope you can figure something else so you can snuggle that puppy!
