Happy V-Day Morgan!

At least you're feeling flutters Sonia! I haven't felt anything yet It's driving me nuts cuz I want to so bad.

Once you break 20 weeks it'll become regular.. I think by 22w it became an everyday routine that she was bopping all around and keeping me from sleeping. Don't worry girls, you're almost there! And Sonia I have an anterior placenta too, so I don't feel much from the very front but that doesn't mean she's not stomping on my cervix and kicking everywhere else all day! just give her a week or so!

Oh an P.S. sometimes I think she curls up into a tiny ball bc my tummy gets flatter up top and huge down low and it feels like she's burrowed into my pelvis and it killllls. Just wanted to see if anyone else experiences this..? Crazy acrobat babies.

Hey Sonia I have an anterior placenta too and starting seeing him kick around 23 or 24 weeks I felt kicks just like my first and now he has a party all night long! I also felt really low kicks starting around 18 weeks. You are almost there!!

 

[clynn11]

Yay for flutters Sonia! She'll be kicking ya in no time!!

Ash, you're gonna feel him/her soon!! I know it!

Morgan, HAPPY V-DAY!! So exciting!

Hi girls. Sorry I've been mia. I've been in a dark place the last few days. I feel like I've already lost my little buddy and he's not even gone yet. He's had a good day today which I am grateful for bc yesterday we made the decision to go today and put him to sleep. I have cried hysterically since Thursday and yesterday was the worst, watching him suffer. Well I went to the vet at about 5 pm yesterday and got him some kitty morphine and when I got home he was eating and purring. He's been really good since so we just couldn't do it. I'm hoping it lasts and he can go in peace instead of while suffering. I've had him for almost 9 years since he was 5 weeks old and this is just breaking my heart. Anyways, I have stressed myself to the point that now I'm sick - I feel horrible. My chest is on fire, I'm short of breath, chills, sore throat....I'm calling in tomorrow bc I feel so bad.

You all inspired me to make chicken and dumplings so that's what is on the stove. I have my own recipe that I use though. Today marks 26 weeks. Work baby shower on the 15th, Michigan shower on 2/8 and my SC shower on 2/28. Hope this girl gets spoiled!

Congrats Sonia on the baby girl! I have an AP as well but it's low so I got lucky and started feeling her at 16.5 weeks.

Morgan - happy v day. And yes, Ellie settles down in my pelvis too and punches my bladder and rectum. We looked at her the other day and she's head down with her face crammed into the back of my uterus. I couldn't see her face bc of her position but got to see her little feet and long legs. And her healthy heart. Oh and she's still a girl and proud of it!

I think you ladies were talking about LOA a few days ago, my work made me fill out my fmla paperwork and the dr office did their portion based on my due date + 12 weeks off, and did DHs for due date + 3 weeks. They said they'll just adjust the date if needed and my work said if I get sick or anything between now and my due date, I'm protected under my fmla and I can use my sick leave. If you other ladies haven't done it yet, I would soon.

As far as the pump and insurance, mine covers the pump in style backpack or tote. I haven't called yet but I wonder if it's 100% or partial? I have a pump in style that someone gave me but I wouldn't mind a new one if it's free!

Sorry if I missed anyone.

Oh wait! Yay Nikki! Can't wait to see Alia!

Morgan, happy Vday! You look wonderful!

To those of you with anterior placentas, I had one, too. I felt a lot of movement up toward my ribs and on both sides. I didn't start feeing anything "regular" until probably 21-22 weeks. It was just every now and again, mostly flutters. Don't worry, it will come.

Rachel, I'm SO sorry about your kitty. Your pet becomes part of the family for sure. Thinking of you!
