Due In May :)

[Jary]

I feel hiccoughs lower left too! I'm hope this means baby has flipped! I've felt more squirmy movements higher up so I'm keeping FX'd it's feet

Last day at work tomorrow! Woop!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

for last day at work tomorrow Jary!! That's great.

Is anyone else's bump really low? My little man has been low all the way through my pregnancy, people have been asking me when I'm due since 28 weeks

Here is the most recent bump pic at 33+6 (please ignore the state of me ):

I had a scan later that day which said that he was 4/5ths engaged already so I guess that explains why he's so low x

 

[Jary]

Your bump does look quite low! Loads of people have said mine is low too. Will have to put up a recent bump pic as I haven't in a while lol.

 

[Hann12]

I think mines similar looking - I'm still expecting it to drop a fair bit though as its nit engaged yet

 

[Powell130]

MW hadn't mentioned if baby is engaged or not yet when she measures and feels my belly so I'm gonna guess he's not? Not sure how they check for that tho lol but i have a growth scan Monday so maybe I'll find out then. But I've been carrying low the whole time so i wouldn't be surprised if he's not

 

[MissMummyMoo]

I don't tend to get checked by the MW anymore as it's too painful for me to lay down on the bed for the examination so I only know he's head down from the scans every 2 weeks. This was the first week that they told me he was engaged though and they wrote on my scan that he was 4/5ths engaged however with this being my third I know they can engage and disengage all the time! x

 

[Hann12]

Yes it's very early to be engaged so definitely don't be concerned if its not at this point. Most engage as a first timer at around 37-9 weeks

I have the same pack and play too. Got the car seat put in by ems guy yesterday and got DH and my bags packed too. Most exciting though is that we rented a storage unit and are packing up closets to make some major room in the house and prepare to move in a few months. =)

 

[BellaRosa8302]

Cgav - are u from the us?? If so check into your insurance before buying a breast pump! I'm getting mine free through my insurance & I can even pick out the one I want!!

As for those of you installing car seats already- I was wondering when to do mine but I still feel like its so early to put it in! I feel funny... Lol thoughts??

 

[cgav1424]

Bella - Yes, I'm in the US. I've heard that about the breast pumps here. What insurance do you have? I have to call Aetna and see if they'll cover mine. That would be awesome!!!

 

[Powell130]

From my understanding, all insurances cover them now. My friend has Blue Cross Blue Shield and got a Medela Swing a few weeks ago! I had to get on Medicaid because we missed open enrollment to add me to hubs Aetna at work :/ booo!! So I'm wondering what they'll cover for me. A friend of mine has Medicaid also, and she got a Medela manual pump

 

[Sass827]

Insurance will cover some of some pumps and all of others. I'm blue cross, and they cover more if you go back to work. Worth looking into. I was also told they might reimburse us for part of our labor class.
I highly recommend you go get our ar seat installed by police / fire / ems ASAP. It was really shocking how complicated it was and how much new info they gave us. We now have to go find a cargo net for between my back seat and trunk ( I have an SUV). You only need to keep the base in, not the whole seat.

 

[cgav1424]

Sass - does your SUV have the LATCH system? I definitely need to go have my base installed by someone soon. I'm just waiting for a day DH can go with me as I would probably forget half the stuff they tell me!

 

[mathgenius33]

My car doesn't have the latch system, but they installed the base for me just fine anyway. After they showed me how I did it myself too and it's not that difficult. Also, the seatbelt is pretty safe. The car seat isn't going anywhere.

I didn't think it's too early to get it installed because the baby could come early. Not only that, but maybe the few weeks before the baby is due you won't want to be dealing with things like that.

 

[Sass827]

It does have latch but the trouble is that latch is installed in the two side seats and the ems said the center is safest.

 

[cgav1424]

We just bought a ford flex and I think it has the latch system in the middle, but I'm not sure. I'll have to take a look and have them show me how to install the base anyway.

 

[Jary]

Woo! Finished last day at work! Really glad since I'm aching so much now.

One of my patients has a 12 day old baby and I got to have a hold she was totally adorable!

 

[MissMummyMoo]

Yay for last shift Jary!! New baby cuddles must have made you so broody.

Baby's screwing his head in my pelvis a lot recently it's so painful sometimes! Scan on Tuesday to check the fluid again x

 

[Powell130]

Glad hubs knows how to install them our Focus has the place for all the extra straps to go (for the base) rather than just the seat belt. Not sure if that has a fancy name tho lol

Happy Easter ladies!!
