Sanghi gives us an update on life for her family and their pigs. Poppy is now 4 years old and Podrick is going to be 2 in a month. They both have their own personalities and have destroyed everything they had done to their yard to make it pretty because of the pigs. But it comes with the territory so its okay. Her daughter is now 14 months and she loves to watch all 3 of them interact and grow up together. Now that poppy is 4 her energy level has come down. When they first brought their daughter home she thought that Poppy was getting depressed but then they realized that she was just starting to calm down because of her age. People often wonder what they can do regarding pregnancy and babies and bringing their children into a home with a pig. Sanghi tells us about what they did when they first found out that they were having a baby. For their family they decided to get a second pig so that Poppy had someone else for herself. As she progressed along in her pregnancy she would make sure that the pigs had a chance to snuggle with her bare skin belly so they could feel the baby move. She also noticed that Poppy was getting a little more protective but also more mellow and more careful when interacting with Sanghi. She thinks that by allowing the pigs to be around her belly as her baby grew she thinks they could sense she was pregnant and their personalities adjusted. They brought home some of her swaddles that the baby was in and they let the pigs have that and smell her before they interacted with her. They would allow the pigs also to smell the pack n play that baby was in. After that she would stand behind the baby gate and Sanghi would hold the baby and let the pigs smell her so everyone was still in their safe space but could be introduced. They slowly started to let them smell her feet and adjust. They are still careful to supervise their daughter with their pigs to train everyone to be kind and gentle. They have their visits in small short visits once the pigs are calm. Poppy and Podrick don't mind having their daughter around them in the same space. One issue that they have been having is Podrick will nudge her highchair and tip it over without her in it so now during any time that her daughter is eating they have the pigs in a separate area so everyone is safe. She tells us about how her pigs helped her during her postpartum depression and other challenges that they faced as a new family. Sanghi gives us her best piece of advice for someone who has a pig and is pregnant or is thinking of having a baby.    Sanghi’s Link: https://bit.ly/yogavinopig0622 Autumn’s Links:  Website: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/ Email: Autumn@autumnacresminipetpigs.com Educational Membership Group: https://www.autumnacresminipetpigs.com/support-group-subscription/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/autumnacresminipetpigs/ Facebook:  HTTP://Facebook.com/autumnacresminipetpigs Mighty Networks: https://autumn-acres-mini-pet-pigs.mn.co/share/EPW2Ie5isMX4T0Ve YouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UCGue5Kp5AwOXkReCGPUyImA Stan Store: https://stan.store/autumnacresminipetpigs Newsletter: http://eepurl.com/hDNizT
