Currently sat in tears keep having panic attacks in maternity triage room. Sat here for 5 hours as no doctors available and don't know if I'm losing my boy or not. Been told it's likely but can't confirm until I see a doctor. Might even be tomorrow now. Diagnosed severe ptsd, bpd and severe anxiety and just need support but everyone just walking by me watching me cry without asking if I'm okay. Can't stop crying. Surrounded by 4 other mums who are in for UTIs and baby's are on monitor while mine is likely not going to make it. Go private. This is unbearable.

Before I booked my child's christening, I asked my closest friends which Saturday of a particular month would be best for everyone. My best friend said the 30th as it's around when she gets her wages so it would be easier for her. But I asked her if she's sure this will be okay as I know her daughter's 16th birthday is the day after. She said it's fine as they're not planning anything for that weekend and they'll be doing something the weekend after instead. Bare in mind she was the first friend to say this weekend would be best so there was no peer pressure to choose this weekend. The rest of my friends and family said this weekend is good too, so I've booked and paid for everything for the 30th.

2 days later, I made a group chat with everyone invited in it, and was talking about numbers for the set meals at the party afterwards, and my best friend, to my surprise, messaged the group and stated so everyone can read that she isn't going to make it because I failed to ask her which weekend was best and she said she's throwing her daughter a birthday party that day instead. So now a couple of our mutual friends are being weird with me and think I'm out of order for trying to ruin her daughter's birthday weekend. My best friend was all on board with the 30th, even offering to help set things up for the party and excitedly speaking about it every day until the sudden message.

I seem to believe she's changed her mind about when to have her daughter's party and because all of our friends have agreed and planned to attend my christening first, she's trying to make something up to make me look bad so they don't come to my party, but to hers instead, as conveniently, it's at the same date and time...

We've been friends for 30 years, never had a fall out or disagreement so I'm bewildered why this has happened and she's lying about it all. Unfortunately (I've learnt my lesson now), these conversations took place in real life and over the phone, so there's no proof of what she said to me. I just think it's a shitty way of trying to stop people coming to my party, because she's changed her mind. I've been getting bad vibes from her for weeks now though, even before this but I'm an anxious person so I just ignored the gut feeling. She seems to have changed since she's having financial issues and I'm not sure if jealousy is a factor as she started making digs at things I was buying for the christening, as if I was doing too much.

Whata your opinion on why this is happening? I can't fathom it and I don't know if I'm overreacting. She's currently ignoring me, so I've stopped communicating right now.

We have a female 7 month old sighthound and she's doing really well with training in some parts. For example, she's fully toilet trained now, no accidents in 2 months. She seems to pick up training quite quickly, but the one thing we have had zero progress with is her stealing my household items to chew. She's done teething, has her adult teeth as checked by the vet, and she has chew toys she also chews. It's depressing me because I have a uniquely decorated house and have many ornaments and photo frames on my shelves and table tops. She's reaching up and pulling things down constantly, and then takes them to her bed and chews them. I've tried redirecting with her toys, I take the items off her every time she's caught and make a loud sound she doesn't like when I see her trying to reach for them, which stops her continuing, but then she will just try again not even five minutes later. I refuse to put everything away, she needs to learn that they are not toys and are not hers to steal, and I keep my photographs out of passed loved ones which help me through my ongoing grief. Some websites suggest packing everything away but I don't want this issue to rule my life like that, I'd rather find tips to help her understand not to touch them anymore, otherwise this issue will probably repeat once I put them back out of the shelves/mantlepiece/tables again. Or is this just something pups grow out of? I never had this issue with my adult dog, who's a few years old, so I'm unsure what to do. Also, some of the shelves are high and she's jumping and knocking everything off.

So I've just ate a large butchers chorizo sausage roll. It had been cooked but was cold in the counter fridge when I ate it. I'm worried I've risked my pregnancy now. I didn't realise it was an issue until someone told me after eating it.

Within almost two weeks, my baby's fetal heart rate dropped from 150bpm (15+6 weeks) to 134bpm (17+5 weeks). He was kicking when both of these readings were taken via doppler at the hospital. Is this normal? Thanks

To start, my aunt (bio), who I am close to and is the only family member I have, had an affair 6 months ago behind my uncle's back (who I and my children were also close to for 15 years). She left my uncle for Guy A, and he left his long-term wife and children for her. I was so upset but kept my mouth shut as she's the only adult family member I have left and helps out with the kids a lot when I work. I also lost a child last year and needed my family, a couple days after I found out about the affair. My uncle is devestated about the affair, so she let him keep the house and belongings and she moved out. Anyway, Aunt and Guy A did not last and broke up after a couple months. She's now alone in her house. She's civil with my uncle now but she told me because he was telling everyone in town what she'd done, she'd prefer if I didn't speak to him or add him on social media (I completely disagreed with this and it upset me, but I went along with it as I'd lost a child and grieving, my head was a mess and I had to choose).

Fast forward to now... She's been single for a few months and apparently my uncle is doing much better too, as his friends are taking him out for food and social gatherings a lot and he seems to be perking up. But, one of their long-term friends (Guy B) called my Aunt to speak negatively about my uncle, that he's constantly confiding in him and won't shut up about the affair. I told my Aunt, yeah he's trying to worm his way into you and being a creep stabbing his friend (my uncle) in the back while doing so... She's oblivious to it. So I went on her Facebook. I noticed throughout the last couple years, he only liked my Aunts individual photos of her and none of them together. Some friend! Do older people not see how snakey some people are? Anyway, my Aunt has told him that she will still mingle with him socially as before, but it'll never be anything more than friends as she doesn't want to upset my uncle again and Guy B has said he wouldn't want to lose him as a friend. Fair enough. But then I found out Guy B had taken my Aunt on a weekend away but nothing happened and apparently he treated her as a friend for all she's been through... Nah. I feel like if this progresses and I fall out with them over it? My uncle will be hurt again and his friend this time? Even worse. And I certainly will never be friendly with Guy B like my Aunt will want me to be. You betray your friends, I don't respect you. It's none of my business, I know that, but twice in six months? Not a chance. I need advice on how you would handle this please?

I have an almost 2 year old yorkie. She will walk for 4 seconds nicely by my side, then started pulling again. I'm talking head and chest on the ground doing a swimming motion with her front legs. Nothing I seem to do is helping and struggled with this for a while now. Especially if she sees another dog, she whines, yelps, starts screaming in excitement trying to get to them and will not calm down at all and will not walk anymore. I've started picking her up for 30 seconds when she's like this and she HATES it. She's a sass queen so kicks, whines and then sighs at me (you know the dog sigh when they're having a tantrum). Then I place her back down and continue walking once she's calm. Am I doing the right thing? Only done it a couple times now as I'm lost at what else to do. I've tried training heel, turning round when she pulls, stopping when she pulls, even put her on a collar lead instead of harness lately (I know yorkies aren't meant to be walked on collars but it seems to work better as she starts choking herself and stops pulling more), it's 10x worse on harness. The issue is, she's just so hyper and excited on walks. It's nice to see but I'm struggling as I have a neurological illness that causes pain when she's pulling all the time. I've had a dog before my yorkie and they were always calm on walks and never pulled, so I don't know what I've done wrong this time. How do I calm her during walks?

This is mainly about my almost 2 year old dog but puppy has had such an influence on her behaviour that I thought I'd get some advice here. I've already posted in older dog groups to no luck.

So, we have an (almost) 2 year old Yorkie, who has been so easy to train since young and has been the best behaved dog anyone that has met her have ever seen. She's never been food orientated, always listened to commands first time, etc., so clever and very well behaved.

We adopted a whippet puppy 6 months ago, who is also very clever, but she is still learning commands and undergoing training so far, but our issue isn't with our new puppy...

Yorkie has completely changed. We've tried training her over these months as I know change can affect dogs, but she is just getting worse and worse. She steals food (she's never been bothered about food previously, never begged when we are eating), she's starting jumping up and scratching car windows and doors at home, something she never did. She never listens to commands now, ever. It's soo out of character. Had her see the vet who said she's healthy and just keep up with training again, but nothing is working.

It's becoming a problem as me and my partner are now arguing about it. He thinks it's "cute" when she steals food and says it's just a dog thing, well it never was before? He laughs when she scratches the car window (she's damaged it already and she never did this before). But, I don't want her snatching food from my child's hands and my plate. This is something she never ever did. For context, a friend last year told me to do that Tiktok trend where you leave high value food out and film your dog to see if they eat it or not, well she never did. She would not even touch crumbs on the floor without command to do so. I love my dogs to bits, they are my life, but I also think dogs need boundaries, whereas my husband thinks because our yorkie is cute and fluffy, she gets away with everything and I'm being harsh about my opinions on her new behavior. She's even putting herself in danger as recall has completely stopped. She came at every call on walks, now, never. Any help please?

Thanks

I need to reactivate my old Instagram account to get some sentimental photos from there. The problem is, I don't have my old phone number as it has been disconnected and no way of getting it back, I've tried contacting phone company and they can't help. The only other two methods are back up codes (these were on my old phone I lost), and taking a video of my face. I've taken the face video several times for Instagram to say it's not me. Yes I have a different colour hair but I don't look any different ffs.
