@magnolia209 that's actually a moan of mine too! I have a dang anterior placenta this time and don't feel a thing from baby I'm only 16 weeks so I'm at the end of the month with you @klj0228 but as a second time mom I was so excited to hopefully get to feel the movements earlier this time.
I'm 20.5 weeks and not feeling much. I figured I'd feel it earlier as a stm but that anterior placenta really got me this time.
@yosemite2018 I'm anxiously awaiting my anatomy scan so I can watch buddy move, since I can't feel him. I know he moves! I've seen him kick and wave and bump around on ultrasounds at 9 weeks and 12 weeks but haven't seen or felt anything for 4 weeks now. I got to hear his heartbeat 2 weeks ago but I miss him (for lack of a better way of saying it) and really want to check in.
@yosemite2018@stothi I can’t wait until we all can feel our little ones! Thanks for letting me know it’s not just me and @klj0228 or due to being a FTM. And another question is how/when will I find out what position my placenta is in? Maybe at the AS?
Yuck. I had phlegm stuck in my throat this morning and it made me throw up before I could cough it out. Somehow I got spash back IN MY EYE while throwing up. I rinsed with saline drops but ewww gross and now I'm worried I'm going to get pink eye.

Showing up to an interview 20 minutes early is too much. Maybe you arrive at the building then because you don’t know how bad traffic could be and give yourself extra time, but you don’t go into the office and call to be brought in that early. Soft skills, people.
@magnolia209 I found out at my NT scan around 12.5 weeks. They'd definitely be able to tell you at your anatomy scan.
@DanyTargaryen oh, no! I'm sorry, that's awful. Phlegm pukes are kinda my life right now. Usually I'm lucky(?) enough that I just gag and dry heave furiously and rarely actually bring up stomach contents.
@magnolia209 my dr doesn’t do NT scans so I’m not sure about my placenta placement either. I think I’ll try to remember to ask at my a/s in a couple weeks.
The upstairs of my office (where I work) only has one bathroom. One. And I can’t complain because soon it will be me - but there’s a woman here who just had a baby like 8-10 weeks ago and is in there for twenty minutes at a time, I think she’s pumping or icing or she could be doing anything and I 100% can’t judge because she JUST had a baby. But I don’t want to walk down two flights of stairs, and go outside and around the building, every ten minutes when I have to pee. Hopefully when I’m in her shoes, some cranky pregnant bitch doesn’t complain about me on the internet lol.
@ashh2018 oh- that sounds annoying. But also - be careful - workplace pregnancy karma really scares me! In September, I got a promotion. I was working in a cube before and the promotion should have come with a very spacious office. But I was informed that I would not be moving into the office and "my office" would instead become the lactation room for a co-worker who was just coming back from Maternity leave. I work for a big disfunctional organization. And, our lazy HR made this decision. I told the financial analysit for my department and he got so pissed! He said that my unit pays for that space. HR has no right to take it for any reason. I ended up very diplomatically manipulating everything so that I got my office, but it meant displacing my pumping co-worker. I knew we were going to start trying very soon, so I tried to be as considerate and nice about it as possible (becasue Karma! And, human decency!). But, I got my office! It was such a blessing. I don't think I could have survived the first trimester if I hadn't been able to shut my door and curl up into a Morning Sickness mess ball several times per day! Karma is still coming for me though: my whole office is moving and no one will have offices!!! It's a stupid open floor plan. We are moving to a temporary location in July and then to the permament open plan location in September. So, 3rd trimester I will have no privacy! Also, no private office to pump in when I come back to work. But, for now, I LOVE my office! And the pumping co-worker has been so awesome and supportive and has been giving me tons of baby stuff!
@magnolia209 oh man, that’s so inconvenient and annoying! Yeah I’m definitely wary of karma. I’ve only complained here, and just the once haha. I ended up having to take the long walk downstairs where a ton more people work, and got accosted in the ladies room while washing my hands. This lady I only vaguely know gasped and grabbed me and said “a baby!!! Congratulations!!!” So yeah, you could say I’m visibly pregnant now lol.
@ashh2018 oh no! I would be so mad!!!!! I don't even like friends touching my belly. Our department very recently did a generic sexual harassment training where it specifically said you can't make any comments about pregnancy to pregnant people. Lol so maybe it's because of the training or maybe because it's #2 no one cares but so far everyone had left me alone and it's awesome to just feel normal
@ashh2018 That lady sounds awful! You definitely want to be able to pee in peace! Have you tried talking to the new mom? Maybe - if she is pumping, she can tell you her schedule so you can make sure to pee right before she goes in? She will probably really understand your frequent peeing needs - having just been through that.

That's a great thought. I shared my pumping room and the other mom and I just coordinated schedules. I would just ask her, mom to mom, what her schedule is so you can sneak in quick to pee before she needs the space. She was recently pregnant so I would hope she'd understand and not mind the question!

@EErin86 yeah this is an older lady so she doesn’t understand I think. It’s harmless but I didn’t love it.
@magnolia209 I don’t really know her but I’m hoping to run into her so I can start a convo, congratulate her, let her notice that I’m pregnant and then we can become best friends and work out a schedule. Is that not how it works? Haha.
You know what is just pissing on my nerves today? I am at my dd gymnastics practice and I usually stand the whole hour but I am tired and lazy today and guess what...no available chairs. Ok....so...i just kind of lean against some cubbies...whatevs...BUT THEN....i notice there is 1 damn chair....with 2 women standing in front of it in their cute little yoga outfits with their PURSES in the chair....wttttffffff. So....for 50 minutes....they chit chat it up taking up this chair for their prized purses....and a class ends and some chairs empty out at the front viewing area....they move and what do they do then....ask me if I want their chair. Um girl....with 10 minutes left NO....you best just walk away before I catch me a case and a battery charge.

I would have just walked over and played the pregnant card. "Excuse me, hi, I'm pregnant and my back is killing me. Any chance I could snag that chair?"

Hell, I would have asked for the chair even if I wasn’t pregnant. Some people are just so inconsiderate.

DH is going to a fast care today because he thinks he has strep. I think he just has a man cold. I'm going to feel like a total ass if it turns out to be legit.
@EErin86 so along those same lines... when I was in middle school, my dad got really sick and my mom totally told him to suck it up and go to work. He ended up in the hospital with acute kidney failure and short term dialysis! Obviously an extreme example, but man did my mom feel bad!
Also, I'm usually the one to encourage H to go to the doctors/urgent care if he's sick since I can't deal with his whininess and want him to be back to 100% asap and not contagious so I don't pick anything up. Totally about me and not him. Oops.
Saturday moan? It's my ONE DAY to sleep in (til 7ish, but still) and not have to get up early, shower, or pack DS up, etc. and DS decides to cry hysterically at 5:40 with both of his fists in his mouth. I'm suspecting teeth, and DH and I have been up for the day since then taking turns soothing him and giving tylenol. He usually sleeps til 7:30-8, and just fell back asleep at 6:45. So, I'll likely have to forcibly wake him up at 8 to keep him on his usual schedule. I do feel bad for him. He's set to start getting the really painful teeth now.
@Wishilivedinflorida good morning, I'm also awake way earlier than I need to be. I got home just before 1am from a painting party at my sister's and was going to sleep in because I left DD there for the night. Unfortunately I must not have drank enough water last night because the leg cramps chased me out of bed
I hope your son feels better soon and his day doesn't get totally thrown off!
Oh no @EErin86....that's way worse! I at least was asleep at a reasonable hour last night. And he should be fine as long as we don't let him sleep later than his usual wakeup time. I'm going to keep pumping the ibuprofen/tylenol without shame.
@Wishilivedinflorida I'm currently chugging Gatorade like a champ and enjoying the quiet house while DH and the dogs are in the bedroom. I'm throwing my friend a baby shower today so I guess it's good I'm up early because I have a long to do list. Did I mention it's quiet??????
DH has to take an unexpected work video call at 7:45. We were all up so late last night and both babes were still sleeping so the call was in our room . 7:45 isn’t bad but we haven’t had a day off in 2 weeks together and I am working this afternoon.
I’m sorry so many of you had to get up early this morning. Reading about it made me grateful for the next 5 months of still having semi control of my life and being able to sleep in.

@klj0228 yes, sleep now! I’m so jealous of all the naps the FTMs keep talking about taking. We’re on a road trip now and I can barely keep my eyes open, but DS insists on asking me questions instead of taking a nap, so no nap for me either.
