[jovhelle]

aaron_gabriel tama! kapabayaan nga un ng OB... anytime naman pwede niya gawin kasi namomonitor nila *** baby e.

[mariecutie26]

hello mga sis, san po ba maraming tindang crib, mahal o mura, basta maraming design n mapagpipilian.. dito kasi s sm mall samin, iilan lang ang stocks wala tuloy ako mapili... thanks sa magrereply....

[japsparrow]

check ka sa ebay ph and sulit ph :) and sa enfant boutique. they have 5k stroller with carseat/baby carrier na. sayang tapos na ata 10% discount sale:) it's really nice and practical. i prefer it over graco. if only i have budget for bugaboo! but then it's soooo impractical hehe. P39K+ if you want to check out bugaboo, sa powerplant lang alam kong meron hehe :D

[japsparrow]

:rotflmao: crib pala tinatanong mo hahaha! omg! slow preggo talaga ko hahaha! minsan nga i cant even recognize our own cars kahit nasa harap ko na :D color blind din ako minsan! gray tingin ko minsan blue...black tingin ko dark green and vice versa :depressed: sino sa inyo naging slow nun na preggers? :confused: anyways, crib....i got ours sa shopwise. check out mo sa enfant baka may bago na sila :) they have nice and sturdy ones. i wouldnt suggest a wooden crib. dont buy sa SM! expensive!

[BiTteR_GoDdEsS]

^^ ako! hehe mejo naging slow nga rin ako nung preggy ako.. sabi nga ng bf ko napupunta daw kasi kay baby yung talino ko heheh.. mejo affected din yung work ko nun and like you, naging color blind din ako :D

[iyah-kin]

nyahahaha ..

same here .. my sister even made a joke na when she cleaned our room daw .. she saw my brain na pakalat kalat .. ehehehe ..

awww ...

[RockHound]

i'm kinda confused, maybe guys you can give me some thoughts. lol. i posted earlier sa isang thread abt preggy stuff. my gf is almost two months delayed and after using pregnancy kit last night, it was a Negative result. lol.

[DaNa8]

Di naman ako naging slow nung buntis pero after kong manganak parang naging allergic na ko sa seafoods. Nangangati yung throat ko when I eat crabs or shrimps. Pero di naman sobra, bearable naman.

[japsparrow]

ibang topic naman to keep this thread alive! *okay* so my fellow preggos, how far along are you? meron na kayong stretchies? if so, pang ilang weeks/month kayo when you start having them?
ako: week 31 (GOSH! :eek: ) no stretchies yet *okay*

o kayo naman! :D

[bebeboy]

week 36 - no stretchies yet...but the linea negra ewwww.........:bop:

[mariecutie26]

ako problem ko dumarami yung warts ko sa leeg, ngayung pregnant lang ako nagkarun... worried tuloy ako baka mahawa si baby sakin...lapit n sya lumabas....

[BiTteR_GoDdEsS]

^^ ganyan din ako dati.. dami rin sa leeg.. parang hindi nga nawala e

[DELISYUS]

mommies & preggy moms..ask ko lang if oki lang lumipat ng OB pag malapit k ng manganak..Ok lang ba at least 1 checkup lang sa bagong OB..:?:
kung texbook case ka... kung hindi maselan ang pregnancy mo, opk pakiramdam mo, wlaang na-detect na problem with the fetus... i don't see any reason why not... kasi diba, kahit na alaga ka ng OB mo pero sa iabng lugar ka inabutan ng labor, all OBs should be competent and able to take care of you and the baby...

bebeboy - is this your first pregnancy? i suggest, wag ka na lumipat ng OB. i have an officemate who decided she'll gave birth in the province so her mother can look after her (btw, her husband is out of the country most of the time). when she 2 weeks due to gave birth nga, she went to her province. unfortunately, siguro dahil hindi nga alam ang history ng kanyang pregnancy or negligence na rin nung OB, her baby died inside her tummy. according to the OB, fetal death daw. according to her nga, naglabor na sya ng matagal before nagdecide ang OB nga na i-CS sya para lang mahabol but unfortunately, hindi na.

jovhelle - na-trauma nga friend ko parang ayaw na tuloy magbuntis. in my opinion, kapabayaan ng OB yun. kasi pwede naman nyang iCS yun sooner e kasi more or less alam nya why nagkaganun. sabi nga namin pwedeng magfile ng malpractice against the OB.

Was your friend's pregnancy difficult? Did she have problems during? And did she brief her OB well, as in asa records nya with the new OB yung whatever important history that she has? And how long did she labor?

Kasi fetal distress can happen anytime... not just because of prolonged labor... a simple turn can result in cord coil or whatever... I know a blogger who lost a child in New York pa ha, under the care of good doctors in an expensive institution... and there was no prior problem with both the mother and baby...

I feel lang kasi na it's unfair to immediately assume negligence on a doctor's part simply because fetal deaths do happen... kaya nga ako nagpa-CS na kasi fetal deaths are more likely for GD and polyhydramnios cases eh... but if your friend wasn't diagnosed to have these... a lot of things can still go wrong... my OB always told me that there aren't guarantees in pregnancies and deliveries... and doctors are human too, their knowledge and intuition canot cover all and prevent all...

If your friend went to a doctor/hospital without the proper equipment... that would be her fault...

If thru a fetal monitor, the OB already noted distress but still prolonged the labor...then he/she is at fault... but is this what happened?

And i'm not saying let's blame your friend ha... I like to believe that she and the OB were both careful and concerned, yun lang nga... tragedies strike even the best of people...

Oh and self-respecting OBs wouldn't immediately suggest a CS even if the labor is prolonged na... so long as wala ngang fetal distress or nagpo-progress naman ang labor and dilation of cervix... or hindi multiple births or breech.. I have friends who labored for 10 hours, for 19 hours... bakit tumatagal ng ganun? Kasi nga as much as possible, CS is a last resort...

oh and a sadder thing about the Philippines... there is no malpractice law...

tama lang din na your friend doesn't get pregnant soon... so her body and spirit can recover from the pregnancy, the delivery and the loss... whether miscarriage, still birth, baby death or childhood death or adult death, every child is absolutely loved and thus will need to be greatly mourned...


i'm kinda confused, maybe guys you can give me some thoughts. lol. i posted earlier sa isang thread abt preggy stuff. my gf is almost two months delayed and after using pregnancy kit last night, it was a Negative result. lol.

confused ka kung bakit delayed ang gf mo pero negative naman sa preg test? malamang she is not pregnant, either irregular sya because of some hormonal problem or stress... or nabuntis sya and it was naturally flushed out of her system na...


ako problem ko dumarami yung warts ko sa leeg, ngayung pregnant lang ako nagkarun... worried tuloy ako baka mahawa si baby sakin...lapit n sya lumabas....

Uhm....diba common ang warts or wart-like anything sa buntis? Ako din nagkaron ng konti when I was preggy but they sort of evaorated in my late third trimester and wala na sya ulit ngayon... better ask your OB pa din if you need to do something about it...

[sandy99]

pero diba mas maganda ang nakikita/nachecheck ka ng OB mula umpisa ng pagbubuntis mo? kasi namomonitor nya ang growth ng baby.

[BiTteR_GoDdEsS]

^^ ako 3 times nagpalit ng OB.. may konting complications pagbubuntis ko and mejo nakakalito nga kasi iba iba ang advise nila.. pero naging smooth naman lahat, thank God..

basta dapat may track din sila from the start na nag pa pre natal check up ka..

[sandy99]

puede naman lumipat ng OB basta i photocopy mo yong record mo don sa dati mong OB para may referrence ang bago mong OB ganon ginawa ko, ok naman sya.

[ginangcarreau]

oh and a sadder thing about the Philippines... there is no malpractice law...

I have a friend who is an OB-GYN in the Philippines and when we talked about the malpractice law, she said that it's bad news for the health care system. Mag-a-add lang daw ng isang layer ng pagkakagastusan because doctors will now be forced to get insurance for protection. Then mapapasa ang gastos to the patients. This is actually what's happening in the US. Sobrang mahal ng medical bills. When I gave birth, we had to spend almost $3000 maski na may health insurance kami. When I added the amount covered by our health insurance, umabot sa almost $20,000. Kawawa dito yung middle class.

That's so true. And I notice that doctors here really don't have the personal touch because most have a "cover-your-a$$" type of practice.

[sandy99]

agree ako jan, sneezy. kaya sobrang dami nating mga kababayang nanay who opted to gave birth sa public hospitals, like Fabella. Ang lupit daw doon as in 2 kayo sa isang bed, tapos after ka manganak upo ka nalang sa chair kasi there's no place for you to recover decently. So sad.

that's just one of the issues sister....

kasi on the other hand, doctors will at least be more responsible because they will be held accountable... kawawa din naman yung mga patients who do not get things explained to them, or who don't even get to file for damages for bungled surgeries etc.

my friend connie blogged about it na before... hindi ko na lang mahanap yung post...

papasok din kasi dito yung pagbaba ng gamot... because pharma companies need not butter up the doctors with trips and gadgets....

ahehe... though i'd feel pitiful din siguro if patatayuin ako agad after manganak... there are some cultures na ganun eh... pregnancy and delivery are just glitches in their everyday lives and there's no reason for the women not to immediately get back to their routine (caring for the home, working a living)

tas yung culture natin dati... SOBRA naman ang reaction sa nanganak... tipong hindi pwede maligo, tumayo, kumain ng kung ano ano etc for a month... ahehe

Sana nga, if and when a malpractice law is passed in our country, it will safeguard the patients at hindi added gastos. I guess the US has this culture of being litigious kaya everybody even drug companies have what sneezy mentioned "cover your arse" mentality. Thus, super mahal din ang meds kung walang insurance. Feeling ko lagi sa doctors ay isasagad whatever lab tests pag nakita nila that the patient has health insurance.

i missed this: relatives fussing over childbirth. my SIL gave birth 2 weeks ago at hinahatidan pa ng food yung brother ko sa hospital. my husband, tiis sya sa leftover ko at yung mga libreng ice cream cups, yogurt at popsicle sa pantry ng hospital.

[DELISYUS]

ako ang pinakagusto kong tradition about childbirth is grandmothers living with the expectant family for a while to help tae care f both mommy and baby.... my lola did this and i was so hoping my own mom will be around... willing nga ako bigkisan anak ko, basta nagpa-fuss mo ko saken...


syempre wala sya :D howell... buti na lang my hubs fussed over me big time

[shop@holic]

i'm going on my fourth month now.. pero second baby ko na to...
I think okay lang magpalit ng OB.

Share ko lang..

I had my first baby nine years ago. I was just 20 y/o then. 19 years old ako when I got married. Slim ako, so parang inutusan lang bumili sa tindahan :D

Back then, I had my prenatal sa isang maliit na private hospital sa may amin. Alaga naman ako sa check-up so okay naman. Syempre, the day na manganganak ako, dinala ako dun sa small private hospital na yun. Nagkataon, wala yung OB na palaging tumitingin sa akin.. so yung pinaka-head nila nagdecide... eh, CS daw ako. (Hindi pa nya ako talagang nache-check saka hindi pa nga nya sobrang narereview yung records ko..) Wala akong tiwala sa verdict nya, so I decided to transfer to another hospital..mapa-normal or mapa-CS, basta lipat ako...anyway, feeling ko, kaya ko pa naman.
From taytay, we travelled to Manila. (anyway, hindi naman ganun kalayo taytay rizal.. hehehe) Nagpadala ako sa UST hospital. Nandun kasi yung OB ng mom ko na si Dra. Gamilla... ayun... it turned out sobrang kaya ko pala mag-normal delivery. And okay naman kasi bago nila ko sinalang, minonitor nila ako... They checked the records na dala dala ko. I kept with me my mommy book and all the riseta, ultrasound and everything... mga mama, FIRST TIME ako nakita noon nung OB na nag-paanak sa akin. Hindi ako nakapag-pacheck up doon ever.. pero okay naman lahat... yun nga lang, medyo may kamahalan nga lang sa UST.

Yun nga lang, ngayon, I'm still scouting for a good hospital for my second child. Head na kasi ng OB-Gyne si Dr.Zaida Gamilla, so malamang, hindi ko na sya afford... sobrang kailangan ko maghanap ng mas mura. Right now, I'm having my prenatal check-up dito sa amin.. syempre, hindi na doon sa lokong private hospital na kinuwento ko.. syempre, sa iba na... pero sa Clinic lang... si Dr. AnnaMarie Lafiguera currently tumitingin sa akin.
Pero later on, I'm thinking of asking my OB kung saan pa syang hospital accredited... ayoko kasi doon sa sinabi nya na hospital... sobrang mahal, hindi naman ganun ka-ganda... hmmn.. pagnagkataon, baka magpalit ako ng OB.. hehehe.

[DELISYUS]

pero ganda, have you checked if magkano na sa UST ngayon? kasi parang nde na sya kasama sa mga mahal na hosps ngayon :) baka naman pasok na sa budget nyo...

[mariecutie26]

hay 2 cm na ko last friday, gusto ko ng manganak.. sobra inittttttttttt!!!!!!!

maglilinis ako ng buong bahay bukas...:lol:

[BiTteR_GoDdEsS]

^^ wow marie mejo malapit na rin yan.. ako nung 2cm na, naglakad lakad ako sa MOA.. pero ok din yang idea mo :)

[krungers]

HI all,
favor naman guys, first time preggy kasi ako , eh di ko alm kung san maganda magpa OB? im on my 1st trimester na, nung nag punta kasi ako sa OB kaka skip ko lang ng menstration ko, eh inadvise nya nga ako na magpa ultrasound this month para malama namin kung ilang weeks na sya. tanong san ba ako pwede magpa OB sa valenzuela kami and na coconfuse ako kung mag tutuloy ba ako sa chinese gen, may suggestion pa ba kayo? thanks

[lovin_it]

Medyo weird din how I found out I was expecting...I went to my doctor for my routine physical exam and he wanted to do a pap test. tinanong ko kung ok lang kase i was supposed to start my period later that day...well, my period never came :)

yesterday, my husband and i went to our first appointment. i'm almost 9 weeks and i got my first ultrasound and picture! i didn't know na pwede na palang makakuha ng ultrasound nang ganung kaaga...we saw the heartbeat flicker but did not hear the actual beating. pag labas namin ng husband ko, we were kind of in a daze...he turned to me and said, totoo na talaga to.

im tired a lot: after work, i take naps from 5 - 6:30 p.m. and then get my usual 8 hours later that night. i don't know what to eat and i always think of food now, particularly think of food that i think might not make me throw up. i can cry so easily.

it's quite the adventure.

[iyah-kin]

hi to all the mommies ..

krungers .. kung san ka comfortable .. dun ka magpa-OB .. siguro naman may mga good OBs jan sa valenzuela ..

BiTteR_GoDdEsS .. nangitlog ka na ba? :)

[BiTteR_GoDdEsS]

lovin_it- congrats girl! and totoo na talaga yan :).. its really exciting, fun and hard at the same time to be preggy. take care of yourself and stay healthy. just advise your husband to always bear with you as you will have constant mood swings ;) good bless!

[Rugrat]

Hello fellow moms and moms-to-be!

First, my apologies for a shameless ad. :D

I bought a brand new Boppy swaddling blanket at eBay.ph around two weeks ago, but I never used it because my little boy doesn't want to be swaddled.

Here are the actual photos:

http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b300/little_tin_star/IMG_0129.jpg

I opened the pack just to check the content, but as I've mentioned, it's brand new. I'm selling it for PhP 600. Free shipping within MM. If you're interested, please email (little_tin_star@yahoo.com) me or PM me.

Thank you.

ahaha.. nako .. nawala na ko sa daloy ng thread na to ..

yeah..i gave birth last feb. 2 .. hihi

[DELISYUS]

ako baka buntis ulit! :D nyahahahahaha

nde kasi namin ma-explain yung katakawan ko.... and since my period hasn't been back since I got preggy, hard to tell talaga....

though once pa lang naman kami nagkaron ng unprotected encounter :D

[iyah-kin]

ay ... blessing ulit yan pagnagkataon ..

ako naman .. its my 3rd time to have my mentruation .. and nakakainis na .. kasi this time .. almost 3 weeks na ko meron .. arrghhhh

[sweet_kath26]

what if lagi nalang umiiyak ang buntis??

how will it affect the baby.. ano ang magiaging complications nito paglabas ni baby?

[DELISYUS]

wala naman kath... tho baka maging mas sensitive si baby... pero all preggy women cry a lot.... ang masama kung meon talaga emotional upheaval to cry about...

[DELISYUS]

share ko lang


tested for pregnancy last night... wala lang kasi antakaw ko... just so we'd know...

so although we don't really want another one so soon... may sadness din pala talaga pag negative...

[sweetwahm]

Mec awwww *hugs*

sweet_kath26, umiiyak dahil sa ano? Ako kasi, I believe there's an effect somehow pero depende naman sa reason ng pag iyak. Preggy women cry a lot, it's always a roller coaster of emotions, but if a buntis cries a lot because masama ang loob, magiging mas sensitive and emotional si baby. But other than that, wala naman siguro very serious effect.

[sweetwahm]

Onga pala.. congrats iyah-kin! What's the little one's name?

[sandy99]

i'm preggy too, anong vitamins ni recommend ng pedia nyo? akin ay natalbes and calcium made. pero noong first baby ko mas marami akong tini take na vitamins. how about you moms?

[DELISYUS]

sandy...ako nung una, natalins and folic acid.... nung late 2nd trimester onwards...natalins and calcium something...the calcium helps prevent cramps din daw...

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

ako baka buntis ulit! :D nyahahahahaha

nde kasi namin ma-explain yung katakawan ko.... and since my period hasn't been back since I got preggy, hard to tell talaga....

ako din dati, antagal bago bumalik yung period ko. 6mos after giving birth, to be exact. pero sabi nila it's because i was breastfeeding our baby. and "safe" daw during that time (?) so if you're breastfeeding also at less than 6mos pa since you gave birth, malamang safe pa :)

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

week 36 - no stretchies yet...but the linea negra ewwww.........:bop:

buti wala kang stretchmark.. ako din coz talagang sagana sa oil tummy ko even when it was only weeks old. (kaya mga mommys-to-be dyan!!! ;) take care of your tummies)
don't worry about the linea negra, coz it eventually fades... pwede ka pang mag-2pc swimsuit :D

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

Mec awwww *hugs*

ganun?? naku, pano yan.. i'm also preggy now (2nd child)... and lately parang feel ko pa naman manood ng mga nakakaiyak na movies... kahapon i watched "I am Sam".. grabe.. crying fest ako... papanoorin ko pa nga *** "Kramer vs Kramer" eh another drama din daw un... ok lang kaya???

[iyah-kin]

Onga pala.. congrats iyah-kin! What's the little one's name?

thanks sis .. his name is enrico joaquin .. ahihihi:bashful:

[happy_now]

hello!

i'm a first time mom to be, 3 months on the way. and like all of you, im super excited to see my baby. i'd like to ask a few questions from you fellow moms. did you had excessive burping during the first trimester? how did you deal with it? it's getting very annoying kase and i cant seem to control it. also, my tummy isnt big yet so at night, unconciously ako dumadapa.magigising na lang ako nakadapa nako. is it bad for the baby? iniisip ko kase baka maipit sya. last question, *** manas na feet, when will i experience that? pwede ba ma-prevent un?

hopefully u guys can shed me a little light as im new to these things. thanks in advance :0)

[DELISYUS]

ako din dati, antagal bago bumalik yung period ko. 6mos after giving birth, to be exact. pero sabi nila it's because i was breastfeeding our baby. and "safe" daw during that time (?) so if you're breastfeeding also at less than 6mos pa since you gave birth, malamang safe pa :)

naku ganda... walang guarantees ang breastfeeding in terms of contraception kaya unless you're ok with another child na, better not take the risk talaga :D

[cutebaby]

nag constipate ba kayo noong preggy kayo?

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

^^drink lots of water, and eat lots of food na high in fiber para iwas constipation.


Question naman sa mga preggy moms dyan...
has anyone tried hair rebonding or relax or doing any hair treatments, or magpa-highlights during pregnancy?? ok lang ba ito or bawal sa buntis?

[lovin_it]

hi moms!!

12 weeks preggy na and I'm still on that 1st trimester roller coaster...arghhh. Kakapagod.

Parang wala talaga akong makain na hinde ako nasusuka or parang masusuka...any kind of meat, oily foods, any food na malakas ang amoy, even lasa ng water kung hinde bagong hugas yung baso and kung hinde fresh ice and water may nalalasahan ako! in fact, sa sobrang throw up ko, I've lost mga ten pounds na, which if i were not pregnant, would have been exciting news.

thank goodness I married a great man na hinde pa naman nagrereklamo and says na as long as "it's for baby naman," eh okay lang yung mga utos ko sa kanya habang sitting pretty ako dito.

I've also asked my husband to change his deodorant, hair gel, and shaving cream to "unscented" and asked him not to use cologne muna, kasi sabi ko "mabaho" sya. LOL. ewan ko ba.

I can't wait to feel a bit more "normal" and I hope my hormones stabilize in the next trimester. :)

[sororityslut]

hi mga mommies! i'm 21 weeks pregnant on my 3rd baby at nagiguilty kase ako kase ngayon pa ako nagcrave sa brewed coffee. Once or twice a week umiinom ako ng brewed coffee. Sabe nila hindi naman daw masama yon wag lang sobra. Anybody here who drinks coffee during pregnancy? Ask ko lang kung may negative effect ba... thanks:)

[Slake]

it is interesting to know that every mother goes through different things when pregnant. :sunnysmile:

[DELISYUS]

nag constipate ba kayo noong preggy kayo?

major!

until about two months after the delivery....

I made Senokot my friend and stopped eating bananas talaga... Senokot is safe for preggy and breastfeeding Moms :) pero syempre, if you can take Prune Juice, pwede din yun :)



dun sa other questions in this thread.... a lot of celebrities continued smoking, drinking, drinking coffee, getting hair dyes and what-nots etc... and they all went on naman to give birth to healthy kids....

but syempre, if you ask the doctors, they would discourage you...

it's your call really...

ako noon, ang motto ko is...follow the doctors orders para if anything goes wrong, hindi ko sisisihin sarili ko... i mean, i can say i did everything right... para din walang masabi asawa ko who was very maalaga naman..

[Onirach]

hello mga mommies to be! congats po sa ating lahat!

ako po eh 6 weeks on the way na today!

[AngelDeng]

Hi to all!
ako 7 weeks preggy today.

i'm very very happy kasi we've been waiting for this blessing from God for more than 2yrs!
and guess what???? made in UAE pa (i visited my hubby last april-may, since dun na sya work from dec 2007)!

I had my u/s last tues, may27. may heartbeat na c baby.
altho may nakita minimal hemorrhage (na medyo kinakabahan ako).

i'm going to see my OB again this saturday to read my u/s result and for other things to do.

good luck to all of us!

[jovhelle]

hello mga mommies...

due ko na sa sunday... but di ako sure kung sunday nga lalabas si 2nd baby boy ko... Birthday ngayon ng 1st baby boy ko.... 2yrs old na siya... big little boy na talaga..

medyo may mga nararamdaman na ako pero mukha hindi pa kasi di pa talaga masakit... nung monday kasi check up ko closed pa daw so lakad muna ako ng lakad... malikot pa naman ang baby ko lalo na pagsleeping time na... Tomorrow check up ko ulit... hehehe... normal naman ako kaya ok lang.. medyo mas madali ang recovery...

happy_now same pala tayo ng problem.. ako talaga as in di ko mapigilan to the point na nag-katampuhan kami ni hubby dahil lakas ko daw magburp at di ko magawang takpan bibig ko... hindi ko din kasi alam kung kelan ako magburp biglaan na lang... sa 1st baby ko kasi fart naman ang problem ko sa kanaya at ** sa 2nd burp...

[ambersmom616]

hubby's been complaining that i snore big time ever since my tummy got bigger and bigger... any mommies there experience the same thing?

[DELISYUS]

Onirach and AngelDeng ...congrats... at yan o, sabay kayo :) classmates kumbaga :)

AmbersMom616... yup, I did snore a lot din when I was preggy, says my hubs... during the third trimester, i'd fall asleep na lang even w/o meaning to and i'd be snoring na daw agad... and when we're both sleeping na, sya ang nagigising sa snores ko, and he'd sometimes try rousing me up enough so i'd shift positions to stop snoring :D

wala naman tayo magagawa eh... pag malaki na yung baby, talagang compromised yung breathing natin

i think mas important naman din na we're able to sleep given our big bellies diba, kesa hindi? :D

[ambersmom616]

buti na lang its not just me... hehe did it stop agad after giving birth... kawawa kasi si hubby and not to mention nakkhiya... :) btw, im 38 weeks preggy and anytime soon ill be giving birth... excited na ko but at the same time kinakabahan....

[happy_now]

i've read somwhere na as early as 15 weeks, pwede na madetect *** gender ng baby. how true? coz im on my 15th week this week, and i really want to know the gender of my baby para i can buy things na little by little.. sorry im just excited. Ü

[blue17]

Yep, i had friends who were able to find out the gender of their baby on the 3rd month. Siguro dapat magaling yung nagu-ultrasound and syempre, maganda ang position ni baby during the ultrasound.

[DELISYUS]

mwehehehehe

after the birth, you won't snore anymore siguro... kasi you won't get any sleep anymore din :D

[angeLdevin]

hi mom-to-be's!

im new sa thread. currently 18 weeks pregnant with our first child. ultrasound showed us last monday that we're having a girl.

is it me or talagang at this point in time, tumataas ang libido ng mga buntis? nahihiya na nga ako sa asawa ko. parang lagi akong nagyayaya. :D nung first trimester, i was the complete opposite. ni i-kiss siya, ayoko dahil nahihilo nga. ngayon naman sumobra ata yung desire ko. lol.

[BiTteR_GoDdEsS]

i've read somwhere na as early as 15 weeks, pwede na madetect *** gender ng baby. how true? coz im on my 15th week this week, and i really want to know the gender of my baby para i can buy things na little by little.. sorry im just excited. Ü


i was able to find out my baby's gender nung 4th month ko,girl beb ko pero my ob advised me na its still not 100% sure kasi nga there's still a chance na baka hindi pa lumalabas yung putotoy ni baby.. pero kung boy, sure na agad yun :)

[happy_now]

Yep, i had friends who were able to find out the gender of their baby on the 3rd month. Siguro dapat magaling yung nagu-ultrasound and syempre, maganda ang position ni baby during the ultrasound.

aww.. nagpa utz ako last week. di pa makita masyado gender ng baby. :depressed: pero malikot *** baby ko tapos feeling ko may pututoy na nkalawit. :rotflmao: we were hoping for a baby girl sana. pero ok lang din boy bsta normal and healthy. :)

[ambersmom616]

mwehehehehe

after the birth, you won't snore anymore siguro... kasi you won't get any sleep anymore din :D

very true... hubby said i dont snore anymore...:) i just gave birth to a healthy 6.12 lbs baby girl last june 03... layo pa sa due date...

[kitchenwitch]

might give birth any day now :) ito pala ang pinaka-nakakainip at masayang waiting game.

[krungers]

hi preggies im 21 weeks preggy na and its alarming na sobrang umitim yung underarms ko, pati yung face ko and my neck , medyo umiitim na din , nakaka loka. Plus ive noticed na medyo namamaga na din yung paa ko so i tend to sleep with my feet hanging upward.

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

might give birth any day now :) ito pala ang pinaka-nakakainip at masayang waiting game.

yup.. yan yung pinaka exciting at nakakakaba na time.. lalo na kung first time mom coz you don't know what to expect.

i remember back then, nung malapit na ang due ko, my hubby would sing to my tummy "lumabas ka na baby...lumabas ka na baby..." to the tune of Orange & Lemon's Umuwi Ka Na Baby..hehe and we were talking to her na gusto na sya makita ni mommy at daddy.. ayun, w/in that week lumabas na sya :)

[draindead]

hi .. im new in this thread and im currently on my 5th week .. ive found out that im pregnant 2 days ago .. my period has been delayed for 5 days and took HPT 2 days ago and viola! This is our 2nd by the way, hopefully it will be a boy coz our 4yo is a girl.

hello everybody!

[DELISYUS]

krungers.... drink more water and limit salt and sweets... edema spells more complications in pregnancies, esply since you're only halfway thru... :)

[bluemed316]

hello, im new here. i would like to ask what's lying-in center. is it cheaper than hospitals? im due this august, first week. im opening my options of venues of giving birth. mahal kasi manganak sa hospital. kaya, nagtanong ako about lying-in center, if it's cheaper than hospitals. last option ko *** pag panganak sa hospital.

[dedski]

Anybody here na OB si Dr. Blanca de Guia? Just need your opinion kasi yung former OB ko medyo iba ang approach sakin so naninibago ako. I want an OB sana na feel ko alaga talaga ako, lalo na first pregnancy ko ito.

1.Ganon ba talaga sya sa check ups, di ganon ka-usisa or mabusisi, eversince I started my prenatal hindi pako tinitimbang? At times parang nagmamadali pa sya.
2.How many times ka ba nya i-ultrasound throughout your pregnancy? Once palang ako na-ultrasound nya at 6 wks, I'm at 15 wks na.
3. Does she give her cell number? Kasi I have to call her thru her assistant pa, pag walang office I dont know how to reach her. Kasi yung former OB ko ibinigay agad sa first meeting palang and she replies palagi.

[krungers]

ako din yung OB ko di masyadong ma usisa. hay, i weigh myself nalang. nakak loka nga lang kasi yun nga kailangan ko pa syang tawagan sa hospital or sa clinic tru her asistant, kasi di din sya namimigay ng number.
Delisyus - thanks im trying to limit salts and potato chips na. hehehe nagpa kuha na din ako ng mga test ok naman, mababa lang talga ang blood count ko, kaya binoost yung gamot ko.

[happy_now]

hello!


dedski,dapat mausisa sya. make sure din na tinitimbang ka every check up kase dun nila malalaman if you gain or lost weight pagbalik mo. kase every week, lumalaki *** baby na nasa tummy mo.*** first OB ko sa makati med, mausisa sya. lahat tinatanong pati color ng discharge, time ng pagsusuka, how often nahihilo.kaso di sya covered ng health card ko kaya i changed my OB. *** next,sa the new medical city sa ortigas. ok pa din naman, mas maalaga. she makes it a point na natimbang ako before she checks up on me.nagagalit sya sa assistant nya if di ako natimbang pagpasok ko ng room nya. i'm on my 18th week and i have undergone 2 u/s. trans-v(8th week) and pelvic(15th week..recommended by 2nd OB just to check the baby.). *** 1st OB ko di nagpapatawag sa cellphone. sabi nya, mahirap daw i-check up ang baby kapag nasa phone lang.if emergency talaga, sugod sa delivery room and the nurses there will contact her. *** 2nd OB nagpapatawag sya and she even gave me an endorsement letter if emergency cases para i-accomodate ako agad sa emergency room.

krungers, ako din pababa ng pababa ang blood count ko. kaya doble *** take ko iron vitamins a day.

[happy_now]

can you guys recommend a good read or anything na pagkakaabalahan para ma-divert *** attention ko.lately kase sobrang bilis ko magalit at bugnutin ako.lagi kong inaaway si hubby. as in away kung away. and i cry a lot. sabi nila i should clear my mind and think positive kase naa-absorb ng baby un. i've read pa nga somewhere na stress during pregnancy significantly stalls children's brain development, making them less intelligent, more anxious and more prone to bad behaviour. nkaka-paranoid.

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

i don't know any books na pwede ko ma-suggest coz ang gusto ko suspense thriller eh, baka hindi mo trip..hehe..

you can try exercising (brisk walking, walking, swimming) actually i still do cycling and rollerblading and i'm4 mos. preggy na. my tummy is still small so kaya pa.

you can also watch funny movies, romantic comedy movies.. ayun ***** magiging ok na pakiramdam mo. :D

anyway, i just wanna share here that since 3.5months, i felt my baby moving already! i mean, it's earlier than my first baby (felt her move @4mos --tiny, fleeting movements pa lang) this time, my baby's movements are strong na talaga, my husband slightly felt it na nga once eh nagulat din sya! at siempre natuwa. it's usually strong in the afternoon and early morning. ala lang, just wanted to share.. kakaibang feeling.. can't quite describe it :)

nagsstart nako mag watch ng funny movies. usually *** mga cartoons na nakakatawa like kung fu panda etc etc... ako rin, im on my 4th month and constantly ko na rin nafi-feel *** movement ng baby ko. minsan pag mainit ulo ko, pag nararamdaman ko *** movement nya, nakakagaan ng pakiramdam. as in nakakatuwa.. hehehe...sobrang strong din nung saken, nung nagpa-u/s nga ako on my 15th week sabi saken ng radiologist, ang likot daw ng baby ko. naku lagot.. :lol:

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

naku.. lagot talaga... kaya humanda-handa ka na... :lol:

pano kse *** fist baby ko, 13 wks unang na-ultrasound, malikot na (pero *** pa ramdam, kita lang nung pina-u/s) tapos eto malikot, playful, friendly ,bibo, super active talaga at nakakatuwa :)
kaya pag pinanganak ko na tong 2nd baby namen, lagot kme ng asawa ko pag nag-tag team sila sa kakulitan.. :D

[DELISYUS]

happy_now...jst continue reading and watching your faves.... nung preggy ako, i continued watching gory suspense thrillers... read about serial killers and all :)

but of course, i read a lot about harry potter too

and "what to expect when you're expecting" :) super kabisado ko sya before!!!

[Ice Burn]

Hello I am back to the preggy thread. I'm unhappily/happily pregnant again. But generally accepted it. Man I'm really apprehensive about the idea of having 2 babies so close in age. But what can I do, looks like this was meant to be especially when 2 birth control methods actually fail. Anyway, I'm suppose to have my first ultrasound next week.

[sororityslut]

hi iceburn!!!
Medyo pareho pala tayo ng situation kase ako I got pregnant when my baby girl is only 4 months old. Ngayon 10 months na siya and I'm 6 months pregnant, baby girl nanaman according sa ultrasound ko last week. Hirap lang pag binubuhat ko si baby parang nagsisipaan sila nung baby sa tiyan ko. Well, goodluck on your pregnancy:)

[AE ng Bayan]

hi everyone,

i think most of you here (if not all), are moms or moms-to-be... first of all, i want to congratulate everyone here for their newborns, or their upcoming babies!

i just wanted to share, and check if people here have same experiences as me.. im a first time dad-to-be.. actually after 1 year and 2 months of trying, finally nabuntis na si wife ko.. ngayon na buntis na sha (shes just at her 8th week), sobrannnng naging paranoid ako, to the point na nakakapagod na! i worry about each and every little thing. she had 3 spotting incidents during her 5th-6th week, which totally freaked me out, as in we went to her OB everytime nagsspot sha, pero everything turned out ok naman.

nakakastress lang na everytime nag weeweewee sha, napaparanoid ako na may makita sha, or everytime tatawag sha sa cell ko kinakabahan ako.. tapos gusto ko lang nakahiga lang sha lagi (pinag-leave ko nga sha sa work niya eh for the whole 1st trimester).

its so funny lang na at this early, sobra sobrang paranoid at overprotective ko na.. hindi sa nagrereklamo or what, pero i just wanted to share :)

tsaka parang feeling ko suppppppper tagal pa ng due date (feb 2009).. nakaka-inip! :)

[sororityslut]

Hi AE ng Bayan!!!
I guess it's just normal to feel that way especially if this will be your first baby. What more pa kaya yung wife mo baka napaparanoid na rin siya kase ako don sa first baby ko sobrang ingat ko din sa sarili ko at super excited sa paglabas ni baby.
Just tell your wife to always take care of herself and the baby, I mean tell her to take her vitamins and eat healthy food. Just be supportive para maging smooth and stress free yung pregnancy ng wife mo:)

[DELISYUS]

AE ng Bayan.... hahahaha, you should talk to my husband :D when we found out we're preggy, kung pede lang talagang i-chain nya ako sa bed namin :D

and pinakanakakainip yung last month, i swear! anyway, just be extra supportive and attentive to your wife in the meantime... and enjoy your last few months na kayo na lang... as in date every week kung kaya... kasi iba na talaga pag me baby na :)

but thats not to say Pangit na pag me baby na....IBA lang... ibang level ng sacrifice, ibang level ng rewards :)

[lovin_it]

Guys, I have a question...well, more of a concern...parang di ko masyadong na-fe-feel mag-"flutter" or kick yung baby ko. I'm 4 and a half months preggy and my friend who is a month ahead of me says na parang nag-ka-karate yung anak nya sa tummy nya and I feel bad kasi parang ako, di masyado na-fe-feel yung movements.

Is it because i'm a 1st time mommy so I can't really distinguish the movements and my friend is on her 4th child? I had an ultrasound last week and normal naman daw yung heartbeat, uterus and no unnnecessary build-up naman daw na fluid and everything...next appt. na malalaman yung gender.

I know everyone's bodies are different pero I'm just worried na hindi normal na I'm not feeling as many fluttering or kicks. Am I being a paranoid 1st time mom??

[sweetwahm]

Not all first time mommies will feel the quickening or first fluttering. The feeling can be as subtle as a feather being drawn against your tummy, so not all can distinguish first movement, or quick and strong like a strong jab of the baby's leg. Everyone's bodies are different, so so yes, you're just being a paranoid 1st time mom. If it makes you feel any better, not all moms on their nth pregnancy will feel the fluttering either. They only get to know the baby alive and well when the kicks start to get much stronger, when in fact, the little tyke's been moving inside all along.

[Sam22]

Hi im newbie here, just want to ask if anybody know Dra Julieta Mahusay from Medical City? any feedback about her? how much is her PF for CS? :confused::confused::confused: Thank you!

[miravallesmd]

hello, im new here. i would like to ask what's lying-in center. is it cheaper than hospitals? im due this august, first week. im opening my options of venues of giving birth. mahal kasi manganak sa hospital. kaya, nagtanong ako about lying-in center, if it's cheaper than hospitals. last option ko *** pag panganak sa hospital.


LYING-IN CENTER is a small institution wherein a pregnant woman can deliver her baby via normal spontaneous vaginal delivery. Usually, lying-in centers only have the most basic level of care. Some are operated by doctors (whether ob-gyn or a general practitioner with experience in normal delivery). If pregnancy is not complicated, a pregnant may deliver in a lying-in center. But if pregnancy is complicated, hospital delivery is advisable. Complications include maternal and fetal. Maternal complications include hypertension, diabetes, thyroid problems, other endocrine problems, placenta previa, bleeding during pregnancy, etc. Fetal complications include any congenital abnormality in the fetus/newborn, fetal distress, cord coil, fetal size, prematurity or postmaturity.

A lying-in center might not be fully equipped with instruments for an emergency CS. So that if one needs an emergency CS, she still has to be transferred IMMEDIATELY to a hospital where a CS can be done. Emergency CS means a CS has to be done as soon as possible because it might mean death of the baby inside the uterus (fetal distress).

It is IDEAL to deliver in a hospital setting because you won't have to be hassled if in case an emergency CS is needed.

Congratulations AE ng Bayan! There are many causes of vaginal spotting during the first trimester of pregnancy. The doctor has to rule out everything that causes vaginal spotting. Causes of spotting in the early weeks of pregnancy are: placenta previa, endocervical polyp, impending miscarriage, cervicitis, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APAS) or even sexual intercourse. Cervical polyp and cervicitis can be diagnosed during the first visit if the ob-gyn performs a speculum examination of the cervix. Placenta previa can be diagnosed with the use of transvaginal ultrasound. If your wife's ultrasound showed absence of placenta previa and she doesn't feel any pain in the lower abdomen, she might just need bed rest (with bathroom privilege, of course) for a couple of days/weeks and observe if spotting progresses. Observe also if there's low abdominal pain because this may signal an impending miscarriage. Sexual intercourse may also induce vaginal spotting due to friction and cervicitis. Another cause of vaginal spotting (whether pregnant or non-pregnant) is chlamydia infection (you have to go to your OB for further explanation on this). If you ask me what is APAS, you have to go to your ob-gyn to explain it further. I hope this message helps.

Don't be paranoid yet! You're only on your 4 1/2 months of pregnancy which means you're probably between 16-20 weeks. Fetal movements can be appreciated initially by the mother between these period: as early as 16 weeks and as late as 20 weeks. Just wait until your baby reaches 28 weeks and more, and you'll be complaining that your baby doesn't even let you sleep at night due to its fetal kicks.

nakupo....sobrang sorry.... hindi ko ito agad napansin :)

i guess iba-iba pa din talaga ang impression natin to the same person no? anyway, she was my OB... i had a difficult pregnancy however kaya madalas ako i-ultrasound, isip nga namin baka glow in the dark na anak namin kasi siguro naka-20 in all ako during my pregnancy...

pero...based sa What To Expect... at least twice lang na ultrasound naman ang kelangan mo...one, arnd the 8th week for the heartbeat...and another one around the 9th month, to check for irregularities... so wag ka maghanap lagi... ahehe... and if you havent already, do read that book kasi it helped a lot talaga, not just in answering my questions but also in helping me come up with questions for my OB...

san ka pala nagpapa-check up? sa escoda clinic nya ba o sa asian?

tapos kasi... although hindi nga sya matanong, ako naman kasi matanong... katwiran ko talaga susulitin ko yung waiting time, if not the PF... and she explains generally well naman... she is kinda tactless/blunt (I described her na ata dun sa OB recommendations thread) but I trust her competence... she always gives the worst case scenario... plus, i know na unless meron talaga sya engagement somewhere, she takes time to explain (kasi minsan, isang oras sya sa ibang patients ever!)... at always upfront sya sa fees, what to expect, sa policies nya (like she doesn't like inducing kasi nauuwi sa CS, but she doesn't attempt vaginal birth pag breech, etc)

do i feel like she took care of me well? yes :) will I get her again for my next pregnancies? sure...if malapit pa rin clinic nya samin... do i highly recommend her? absolutely... but only to those who don't need their hands held kasi nga blunt sya :) and she is top infertility referral by PGH :) wala ba cell number nya dun sa prescripton pad? hindi ko na alam where i got it but I had no problems whatsoever texting her (of course, minsan matagal reply but she does text back)... and once nya lang ako sinabihan not to text anymore kasi she's sleeping na daw but she answered my question pa din (lochia concerns na yun, nakapanganak nako)

am sure she wouldnt mind you texting... unless your concerns were something you could have asked during consultation hours (like... Doc, pede po ba ako mag-Coke? ahehe... SIL ko ganyan eh, disoras ng gabi tsaka ako tatanungin about that... if you have many concerns, make a list sister and voice them out)... and am assumming this is true for all self-respecting doctors...

pero if you want someone na medyo mas fussy, or charming, or generally mas people-person, baka you have to switch na nga sis... as early as now... hindi motherly ekek si Doc de Guia :) but that's not to say she isn't nice and kind :) baka lang hndi talaga kayo click, and important na click ka with your OB :)





ako... 6 months na before I even felt my son move

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

*** pamangkin ko din (1st son ng bro. ko), 6-7mos before nafeel ng SIL ko *** movements. iba-iba talaga..

anyway, i'm having a hard time sleeping. hindi naman ganun kadami kinain ko, pero feeling ko nasa lalamunan ko *** food... i think "heartburn" tawag dito? :( haaayyy hindi tuloy ako makatulog inaantok pa naman nako.

Well said, mec. Talagang dapat click ka with your OB. I'm sure sa competency di naman questionable with most doctors but you really have to be comfortable with the one who personally attends to you.

OB case in point: My first pregnancy, I had the most wonderful OB. She was referred by my best friend and I was really in good hands. She also coached me well in labor. For my 2nd pregnancy, our health insurance's new policies allowed for pre-natal and post-natal consultations. So I availed the services of the accredited OB, sayang din kasi ang consultation fees di ba? In my 7th week, I was hospitalized for severe tummy upset. I ate something bad and the pain wouldn't go away, so I needed to be confined. Since my exact predicament that time was not yet determined and because I was pregnant, my OB (the one associated with our health insurance) was called. I felt I wasn't attended to very well and I was very disappointed. Kaya after I was out of the released, di na ako bumalik dun sa OB na yun. I went back to my original OB, the one who handled my first pregnancy. Kahit magbayad pa ako ng consultation fees, talagang super comfy ako sa kanya hanggang sa nanganak ako.

[draindead]

hi mga mommies .. im on my 9th week na .. i was diagnosed with cervical erosion dun sa huling check up ko with my ob .. she told me that its normal and it wont affect my pregnancy .. kaso soooooobra lagi sakit ng lower back ko .. anybody experience this? naka-affect ba sa baby nyo? mejo nag-aalala lang ako na baka makaapekto ito sa baby or sa pagbubuntis since eroded nga yung cervix ko .. i need your insights please :)

[AE ng Bayan]

hi again everyone!

just wondering, my wife had a nosebleed kanina when she stood up to go to the washroom from bed. medyo maraming blood from her nose, pero it stopped din naman agad.. according to the internet, normal naman daw yun? wala lang, nakaka-freak lang (knowing me and my paranoia these days).. anyone here experienced this?

thanks!

[DELISYUS]

AE... did you guys inform her OB? what did the OB say???

DRAINDEAD... err, if OB says it won't affect the baby, then I guess you shouldn't worry...but if you're still anxious about it, get a 2nd opinion :)



May... yun ang ayaw namin sa doctors usually attached to health cards... kahit sa pedia, when yakee gets sick, usually bumabalik kami sa main pedia nya kasi nabibwisit lang ako dun sa available sa health card...

Consult an ENT aside from OB so that her nasal passageways will be visualized to check for nasal polyps.

[Bostsip]

Hello. Been a while since I PExed.
Last Tuesday, my hubby and I got the joy of our life when the HPT showed that I was positive. I was 2 weeks delayed kasi. A few days later, I saw very tiny brown spots. Then, this morning, a significant amount of blood oozed out of me. I thought I suddenly got my period, but the whole day naman, no blood came out again.
I read that this could be a chemical pregnancy. I might have had a miscarriage. Please do shed light. Thanks

[tina11]

Hi Bostsip! Tagal na nga since I saw you online.

I had some spotting early in my first pregnancy, it turned out to be nothing but I can understand how worried you must be. Please visit your OB ASAP.

[miravallesmd]

Cervical erosion is common in women who are sexually active or in women at the reproductive age. As what you're OB had said, it really won't affect your pregnancy. Low back pain may be caused by urinary tract infection, lack of sleep, or ligamental pain as the uterus enlarges (because the uterine ligaments like the round ligaments are being stretched). Have a urinalysis done to rule out urinary tract infection. And forget cervical erosion!! A lot of women examined during their annual pap smear have this.

[DELISYUS]

ohmygosh Bostsip!!!!!!!!!! remember moi!!! :D

ang galing-galing naman, nagbabaikan ayo dito :) Anyway, congrats sa pregnancy sis but better talaga na you hightail na to a doctor agad to check... as a rule, bleeding is not good anytime during a pregnancy... and although there are many cases naman na nothing was wrong despite the bleeding, best talaga to have yourself checked (as in trans vaginal ultrasound!)

Hi.Im 30 weeks pregnant with twins-boy & girl. ask ko lang, kse nagpalit ** ako ng OB. Mahal kc quotation sken ng OB ko ** sa down south. CS for twins= 70k-80k 3 days uncomplicated case. di ko nmn ganun kakilala yung OB pero mukhang ok nmn cia. kaso, nagdadalawang isip ako. kse tantya ko, aabot ako ng mga 100k. kc may sakit ** ako sa puso VSD. so sayang naman yung pera. di bale sana kung after manganak eh tapos na ang gastos. kaya nag decide ako na magpalit ng hosp at OB. sa *****, sa makati med ako nagpapa tsek ap. nag apply ako sa health service program nila na may maternity package na pag normal 16k pag CS 31 singleton lang. pag CS twins, 40k lang.3-4 days confinement, ward, with 30%discount all services, free check up. yun nga lang, ang tumitingin saken, iba ibang OB..pero they are keeping all their patient's record and have it checked by their consultant. ok kaya dun? kc parang wala ko nababasa dito sa thread na nag avail ng ganun sa makati med eh. please give advise. thanks.

[DELISYUS]

wala din ako alam sis.... kasi hindi naman ako sa makati med... ang alam ko lang, the mom i spoke to before at my pedia's clinic was admitted sa ward ng Makati Med and sumuko sya... kasi ang dumi daw, ang bagal ng service, etc... basically something she''d expect in a public hospital but not in a private one kasi PAY WARD naman sya...

mas better pa daw ang PGH tas mag-private room ka na lang (or two in a room) kesa sa ward sa Makati Med...

and ikaw ang makakasagot kasi kung ano ang willing kang i-compromise... ako, kaartehan man, but I was adamant that my husband can be with me during the labor/delivery... and I would rather JUST ONE doctor is in-charge of me... hindi pwede samin yung iba-ibang doctors.... pero kami yun, ayaw namin ng hassle... pero if you're not easily hassled naman and your budget is really limited, ok na din yan siguro... i mean some give birth nga at Fabella lang, okay naman sila :)

but do try other hospitals din kaya.... backread ka dito, Dr. Sese from Lourdes Hospital sound both maalaga and cheap :)



anyway...kala ko before pag delivery, lalo na CS, hindi ganun kalaki difference ng PF ng OB... tipong kasi, it's the same cut... at yung pedia ang times two nga... mali pala ako :)

[ayessa3174]

Thanks. siguro magtanong tanong ** ako sa mga moms na nanganak na dun. kse sobrang laki ng madidiscount ko talaga kapag dun. medyo hassle nga lang pagpapatsek ap kc iba ibang OB nakakausap ko pero may hawak naman cila na record ko. dun ** kse naoperahan mother ko. sa mayoma naman. ang asking ng doctor sa kanya dito sa down south, 100k. pero *** actual na nagastos nmin ng operahan sya sa makati med, almost 40k lang for 5 days confinement.un nga lang, ward lang **. cge. thanks sa advise. pero kung magbago man isip ko, hope its not too late, tutal 10 weeks to go pa ko to reach 40 weeks. :)

Having a twins is a high risk. Having a VSD puts the pregnant on a higher risk. Availing of the HSP of MMC is a reasonable one. A 40K bill for a twin CS is already fair enough. HSP means that you have to be taken cared of by the OB Residents, not the consultants (the residents will just refer your case to the consultant-in-charge). The residents are doctors who already passed their medical board exams. These are the doctors who wanted to be specialized in OB-GYN. The consultants are the one who already finished this specialization. Kaya iba-iba ang tumitingin sa 'yo because you are under the HSP Program and it depends on whoever is on-duty at the HSP. HSP is a sort of "charity" program ng MMC wherein doctor fees are for free but you have to pay for your laboratories, medicines, and hospital bill. (I guess other private hospitals, like UST, for example, has this kind of program, too). It is different from the MMC Maternity Package wherein the patient has to pay for the prenatal check-ups with the consultants of their own choice. The hospital bill din for a singleton CS delivery under Maternity Package is P65K. The patient is admitted at a semi-private room, where in the partition are 4 walls and hindi kurtina(mag-isa lang ang patient sa room but the CR is common with other 5 or 6 patients). In HSP, patient is admitted in the ward separated by a curtain for each patient (but it's an air-conditioned ward!!! unlike other hospitals na pag charity ward ang napasukan mo, magdadala ka pa ng sariling electric fan). Kung magpra-private ka naman, prepare at least 150-180K for a CS twin delivery. So, I guess a 40K for a CS twin delivery under HSP is really a reasonable one!!!

[miravallesmd]

I forgot to add that since you have VSD and twins, you have to prepare more than P40K because we don't know yet the outcome of your pregnancy. Having twins also will increase your risk of having a preterm labor kaya prepare more than P40k. Baka ma-admit ka or ma-deiver prematurely.
If you have the intention of transferring to another hospital, do it as early as possible. Some hospitals/doctors don't like to admit patients who don't have prenatal check-ups with them

[Bostsip]

hello DELISYUS and tina 11..

matagal-tagal na nga. ehhe. Ngayon lang ako talaga nagka time to PEx. Thanks for the input ha? I'm still monitoring things here. I'm quite wary of going to OB here in Singapore kasi iba ang patakaran nila and OVER sa expensive ang check up dito.

thanks again and best regards!
(((((hugs))))

[Ice Burn]

Bostsip: long time no see here at PEX. Congrats on your pregnancy. Hey don't they pay people to have kids in Singapore? :lol:

Bleeding isn't a good sign. I got confined last week because I had bleeding and the ultrasound showed a blood clot. Basically I am now on bed rest because of the threatened miscarriage. I was 6 weeks pregnant when the bleeding happened so it's best to go see an OB about this because you might lose your baby.

[ayessa3174]

thanks miravallesmd. **** mag stick na lang ako sa MMC. kase 2 months na ko nagpapa check up dun. saka like my mother's case, she's well taken cared of talaga sa MMC. natatakot lang ako kse tga laguna pa ko, *** travelling hours from our house to MMC will take 30min to 1 hour. kaya just in case na lalabas na *** mga baby ko, parang aatakihin pa ko ng nerbyos. malalaki at matataba ** kc *** mga baby ko for their gestational age. and until now, di pa rin nagaling *** UTI ko. kaya kinakabahan ako na baka lumabas *** ng premature. lalo nat nung 5 months preg pa lang ako, na confine ako gawa ng naninigas ang tyan ko, namamanhid paa ko hanggang legs, at nsumakit ang balakang at likod ko. ang sb ng OB ko noon, bumagsak daw *** potassium ko. kaya *****, sobrang ingat na talaga ko. lalo nat ang lakilaki na ng tyan ko at malimit na pag biglaang kilos napapatimbuang ako.. di po ba kapag CS, iniisched naman kung kelan *** operation?.. pano kaya *** sa case ko, *** under ng HSP, *** mga resident doctor na nakaduty sa DR magpapaanak sken? o mag assist lang *** at espesyalista mismo mag opera o mag gaguide lang *** consultant sa mga resident doctor?.. once kc, nagtanong ako sa nakaduty nung check up ko. kaya lang, di ** **** ganun ka accomodating at masyadong tipid sumagot. kinakabahan na kc ako. feeling ko malapit na lumabas mga baby ko. sobrang bigat na ng tyan ko sa may ibaba saka lagi na sumasakit pero pasumpong sumpong lang ****.

[tina11]

@Bostsip: naku, please do go to an OB kaagad. Kahit mahal, malaki ang risk of not going and this is one situation that warrants a professional opinion ASAP. Like Ice Burn said you may need medicine and/or bed rest to prevent a miscariage.

@ayesa: parang ok ang package na yan, mura at reputable hospital at well-managed ang program. I would go for it if I were you!

[miravallesmd]

thanks miravallesmd. **** mag stick na lang ako sa MMC. kase 2 months na ko nagpapa check up dun. saka like my mother's case, she's well taken cared of talaga sa MMC. natatakot lang ako kse tga laguna pa ko, *** travelling hours from our house to MMC will take 30min to 1 hour. kaya just in case na lalabas na *** mga baby ko, parang aatakihin pa ko ng nerbyos. malalaki at matataba ** kc *** mga baby ko for their gestational age. and until now, di pa rin nagaling *** UTI ko. kaya kinakabahan ako na baka lumabas *** ng premature. lalo nat nung 5 months preg pa lang ako, na confine ako gawa ng naninigas ang tyan ko, namamanhid paa ko hanggang legs, at nsumakit ang balakang at likod ko. ang sb ng OB ko noon, bumagsak daw *** potassium ko. kaya *****, sobrang ingat na talaga ko. lalo nat ang lakilaki na ng tyan ko at malimit na pag biglaang kilos napapatimbuang ako.. di po ba kapag CS, iniisched naman kung kelan *** operation?.. pano kaya *** sa case ko, *** under ng HSP, *** mga resident doctor na nakaduty sa DR magpapaanak sken? o mag assist lang *** at espesyalista mismo mag opera o mag gaguide lang *** consultant sa mga resident doctor?.. once kc, nagtanong ako sa nakaduty nung check up ko. kaya lang, di ** **** ganun ka accomodating at masyadong tipid sumagot. kinakabahan na kc ako. feeling ko malapit na lumabas mga baby ko. sobrang bigat na ng tyan ko sa may ibaba saka lagi na sumasakit pero pasumpong sumpong lang ****.

You are under HSP Program and that's why the doctor/s who will deliver you will be the OB residents. Consultant/s-in-charge are informed once you are admitted, however, they or they may not be present during your delivery. You are the OB resident's patient. Lahat ng hospital under "Charity Program," ganito ang set-up. OB residents ang nagdedeliver. If you really want to have a consultant deliver you, magiging private case ka. Ibig sabihin, you have to pay a lot!! Kung parehong ulo (ng twins) ang nauuna sa labasan, maaaring i-try ka for normal delivery. Pero kung ang isa ay suhi, baka ma-CS ka. Depende rin ito sa medical condition mong VSD (ventricular septal defect) kung ma-c-CS ka o hindi. I think even the case of your mom who underwent an operation for myoma was under HSP din. Kasi the rate of private case for an operation like your mom's case will reach to about P120K to P150K if it was a private case in MMC. And yet, na-satisfy naman kayo sa service during that time. Don't worry, the OB residents are okay...

[ayessa3174]

dito kc sa south, ang mga hospital kapag nalamang twins, CS agad. *** mga baby ko po both cephalic na. kaya lang, natatakot **** ako manganak. sb nung cardio na nakausap ko ** na HSP doctor **, sbi nia, *** VSD ko kelangan daw na magtake ako ng antibiotic, a week before or hours before the operation. at dahil twins at may VSD ako, definitely daw CS ako. pero sabi sa OB, try ** daw po kung kaya ko *** ilabas ng normal. e2 *** nakalagay sa 2d echo ko. conclusion: dilated left ventricle with good overall systolic function. ventricular septal defect, perimembranous type. pano po ba **** kapag ganyang case, CS or normal?

[ayessa3174]

thanks tina11. tutuloy na nga lang talaga ako dun kc malaki matitipid nmin. ilang days lang naman ako magtitiis dun kaya ok lang kahit sa ward. saka wala nmn ako nabalitaang nangyari na di maganda sa mga pasyente dun. 7 months na ko. nagsisimula na talaga ako matakot..kase sbi nila kapag twins daw, maaga **** nalabas. first pregnancy ko pa naman 2. twins pa agad c",

[DELISYUS]

uhm ayessa... hindi ko kasi alam what you have pero ano ba ang sabi ng OB mo, how will it complicate your pregnancy, your labor and your delivery? I think kasi yun ang dapat pinakaalam mo... and ikaw din mag-weigh if the savings will be worth it, or you really need a specialist to attend to you...

tama na you need to prepare more than P40k kasi complications can happen...

and yes, twins often arrive early... pero the minute you hit 37th week, you can schedule a CS na if you want :) full-term na din ang turing sa kanila non...

dapat din may Plan B ka...in case nga mag-labor ka and something goes wrong, dapat alam mo san ka pede pumunta instead of going all the way to Makati (lalo pa if matapat sa rush hour traffic ang labor mo)

[DELISYUS]

BOSTSIP.... parang wala pako narinig magsabing natuwa sila sa doctors dyan sa Sing :D But... go to an OB anyway...better safe than sorry... and meanwhile nga, bedrest galore!!! :)

[miravallesmd]

dito kc sa south, ang mga hospital kapag nalamang twins, CS agad. *** mga baby ko po both cephalic na. kaya lang, natatakot **** ako manganak. sb nung cardio na nakausap ko ** na HSP doctor **, sbi nia, *** VSD ko kelangan daw na magtake ako ng antibiotic, a week before or hours before the operation. at dahil twins at may VSD ako, definitely daw CS ako. pero sabi sa OB, try ** daw po kung kaya ko *** ilabas ng normal. e2 *** nakalagay sa 2d echo ko. conclusion: dilated left ventricle with good overall systolic function. ventricular septal defect, perimembranous type. pano po ba **** kapag ganyang case, CS or normal?

Alam mo, hindi naman malalaman ng doktor kung CS ka or normal hanggat hindi ka pa nag-la-labor at wala ka pa sa delivery room. Depende nga sa medical condition mo at the time na naglalabor ka. Syempre, yung mga doctors mo (OB at Cardio) mag-uusap muna ang mga yan kung ano ang magandang plan for your delivery. Kaya leave it all to them. Basta kailangan well-informed ka lang.

i'm working so medyo difficult for me. its nice to read everyone's stories at least i feel that i'm not alone.

[firefoxxx]

Hi...everyone... hi berryicecream! :) Congratz...

same here, hirap din ako sa paglilihi ko during those 1st trimester until 5th week ko ata may mga morning sickness pa ako, working din ako. sobrang gusto ko na mag resign dahil hirap ako..

until now mejo nahihirapan pa din kaya madalas mag leave ako...ganun ba talaga un?i'm on my 27 weeks... minsan feel ko pa din *** morning sickness lkike nasusuka, nahihilo and madalas i feel tired talaga kahit wala naman masyadong ginawa. :mecry:

[Onirach]

im a working 1st time mom to be. hirap pala talagang mag work ang struggle sa pregnancy symptoms. im on my 13th week. nasusuka, nahihilo, food cravings (i love sinigang), tamad kumilos, sometimes i have chills sa gabi kaya nag papalagay ako ng baby oil sa likod at arms bago matulog... have u ever encoutered this?

[ayessa3174]

Kakagaling ko lang sa check up kanina. kakafrustrate na. may UTI p ** ako. ang dami ko na nainom na gamot pr sa UTI pero ganun pa **. Na urine CS na ** ako. Uminom everyday ng buko juice, cranberry juice 12-15glass of water pa nga ko everyday.tapos nakainom na ko ng augmentin, macrodantin, cefuroxine pero ganun pa **..kinakabahan na nga ko kc baka kung ano ng mangyari sa mga beybi ko:depressed:

[ayessa3174]

and one more thing.. a month ago, napansin ko, masyadong malakas ang discharge ko..white na yellowish..nung masyadong malakas, medyo may odor na sya..and nag start na rin na ma iritate *** skin ko..vulva area ata tawag dun..parang singit pero bandang ilalim..OB advise me to insert 1 suppository at bedtime for 7 days. flagystatin *** gamot..after nun, may discharge pa **, pero d n ganun kalakas tapos nawala na ** *** odor..kaya lang, ***** nmn, nangangati na naman *** bandang ilalim ng singit ko.. iba na kulay nia, reddish na talaga. nakasama ** dw kc lagi kong paggamit ng panty liner. before ako niresetahan ng vaginal suppository, namamaga na talaga *** singit ko..kc lagi ** sya basa gawa ng malakas na discharge ko. kahit anong gawin ko hugas at pagtuyo myat maya, ganun pa **..kanina, inirefer na ko ng OB sa derma..binigyan ako ng cream.betamethasone w/ clotrimazole cream at Dr. MCF Rx Bazot powder..safe kaya mga ito?..natatakot na kc ako..:depressed:

[DELISYUS]

ayessa dear... hindi naman siguro ikaw ang unang case ng OB mo na parang naging allergic sa discharge mo during your pregnancy..am assumming kasi that's the reason din why your uti won't quit...

that or the raging hormones triggered some kidney problem... pero feeling ko talaga it's allergies...an oversensitivity...

hindi rin uncommon yan...some nga lang get allergic lang to their own sweat...

anyway, work with your doctors... you don't want the infection to continue kasi it can trigger contractions...

maybe din you can get a second opinion from another OB... and maybe you can make kulit your OB for the explanations for everything kasi sya dapat mag-explain sayo bat ka ganyan and bat mo kelangan mga gamot mo... :)

[miravallesmd]

ayessa, did your MMC HSP doctors request for urine culture and sensitivity? baka resistant lahat ng bacteria sa mga nainom mong gamot. also, pregnant women are also susceptible to recurrent urinary tract infection because of lowered immune response during pregnancy. did you have your blood sugar tested? hindi ka ba diabetic? usually the discharge might be because of candidiasis which is really very itchy. tell your OB doctors to request for wet smear to verify the presence of fungal infection

[tina11]

berryicecream, berryicecream, Onirach hello batchmates! hehe...

Ang hirap talaga maglihi ano? Except for the night chills, ganoon din ang nararamdaman ko (tired, dizzy, nauseous all the time). Lalo na pag umaga na inaalagaan ko ang anak ko bago siya ihatid sa daycare, tapos pag uwi niya sa hapon ang dami pa niyang energy, sana pwede ko hingiin kahit 1/4 lang ng energy niya! Ang dami ko na din na-take na sick leave dahil wala talaga akong energy. Binigyan ako ng gamot para pambabawas sa pagsusuka pero ang side effect naman niya e sobrang antok, madalas 8pm pa lang tulog na ako (hindi pwede mag-operate ng heavy machinery o mag-drive ng kotse pagkatapos inumin itong gamot, kasi naku maaksidente ka) :lol:

[ayessa3174]

DELISYUS thanks. allergy nga daw or infection..un ang sabi sken sa OB sk sa derma. :(

mravallesmd na test na ** ako *** sa diabetes glucose tolerance 4 samp. normal naman. last month lang *** test na un. na urine c&s na rin ako. nang makuha *** result nun, sk ko niresetahan ng ceferoxine. pero ganun pa **. e2, uulit n nmn daw ulit ng urine c&s..*** itchiness sk *** pagiging reddish na ng skin ko sa part na un, nirefer na nila ko sa derma kanina. kinunan ng sample *** nandun sa singit, candidiasis nga daw. fungal infection. gawa ng discharge ko, kse lagi basa *** part na un kaya mahirap i treat ****.
:depressed:

hayyy, bakit ganito.. parang ako lang ata nagkakaganito. :mecry:

[firefoxxx]

hello mga sis...:) at last, it's my rest day na tomorrow..grabe na kase ako mapagod. Question lang po *** mga blood testing and glucose ba isang beses lang ba *** ginagawa? i mean kung nagbllod testing ka na hindi na ba ulit uulitin un before ka manganak?

thanks! :)

[ayessa3174]

kagigising ko lang.. napansin ko, ang sama ng buhok ko ngayon. :rolleyes: may kulay kc **.. ky lang, parang dry na dry *****..pd kaya ako magpa hair color? from light brown back to natural color? please advise. thanks.

[Li'l Sistah]

hello. resident ako ng Hong Kong thread sa T&L forums. i'm 18 weeks pregnant.

i had a threatened abortion on my 12th week. have a low lying placenta and bled profusely. buti nalang medical city's near lang. everything looks ok na now. just waiting for the next ultrasound to see if the placenta migrated na.

anyway, hi to all the moms out there! :wave:

[tina11]

ayessa from what I've read there are no tests that prove that there are no negative effects of hair coloring, IMHO it's better not to take the risk.

Li'l Sistah hi and welcome to the thread. Buti okay si baby, ang lakas niya *okay*

[Li'l Sistah]

Li'l Sistah hi and welcome to the thread. Buti okay si baby, ang lakas niya *okay*

thanks, Tina! :D

my due date's on december 25, but since it's not my first, i'm hoping the baby will come earlier. :D wawa kasi Christmas babies, lugi sa gifts. hehe. my eldest is a december baby too.

oo, malakas si baby. kumakaway pa sa transvaginal. hehe. and big sya ng one week compared to the first transvaginal. :D

thanks for the welcome!

[DELISYUS]

firefoxx... i think depende sa doctor... some doctors request one during the first trimester... and another one around the last trimester... some naman request for one, or several, if you're having complications like spotting (to check if may hormonal something ka that may be triggering contractions)

ayessa... i'm so sorry to hear that... i know pregnancy is hard enough as it is, lalo na may mga ganyang discomforts ka pa.... just try to keep that area dry and lalong avoid sugary foods...

tina11... at least ganda, the nausea is letting up... yey :)

[miravallesmd]

hello mga sis...:) at last, it's my rest day na tomorrow..grabe na kase ako mapagod. Question lang po *** mga blood testing and glucose ba isang beses lang ba *** ginagawa? i mean kung nagbllod testing ka na hindi na ba ulit uulitin un before ka manganak?

thanks! :)

First few visits (usually done on the 1st trimester): CBC, Blood typing (ABO & Rh), VDRL, HBsAg, anti-HBs, Rubella IgG and IgM. Glucose is tested if high-risk, i.e., if with family history of diabetes. Transvaginal ultrasound is usually done to check if live pregnancy, how many fetus, intrauterine or extrauterine.

Between 18-22 weeks: Ultrasound for congenital anomaly scan is requested.

Between 24-28 weeks: 50 g Oral glucose challenge test (screening test for diabetes)

Third trimester near due date: Repeat CBC, repeat ultrasound to check presentation if cephalic or breech, estimated fetal weight.

[miravallesmd]

DELISYUS thanks. allergy nga daw or infection..un ang sabi sken sa OB sk sa derma. :(

Check "what's up doc" regarding candidiasis/yeast infection. Candidiasis is really recurrent and it can usually be seen in immunocompromised state (and pregnancy is considered as one).

[firefoxxx]

Delisyus - thanks po!
miravallesmd - Thanks din po! done na din po ako sa glucose test. and ok naman...pati po ba blood type kelngan?kase my o.b asked my blood type lang...un lang and kung sure daw ako sa blood type ko. :) any test pa ba? before ng due date? ;)

[miravallesmd]

Delisyus - thanks po!

if pregnancy is uncomplicated, it's just the cbc that is requested before due date. however, ob-gyns request for pelvic ultrasound just to be sure if the estimated fetal weight is heavy or not, to confirm if the baby's head is down or is it the buttocks or feet. Just imagine, if you have a 9 pound baby inside you (and of course, Filipino frames/hips are really small compared to caucasians or pacific islanders), would you risk having a normal vaginal delivery or will you opt for a cesarean section?

[DELISYUS]

firefoxx... some OBs (tho dapat ata all OBs pero since common ang O blood type satin, and Pinoys are often RH positive naman so they don't always bother) ask for the Mom's blood type.... kasi it helps them determine din if they should expect jaundice (like in cases na type O yung blood ni Mommy, mas malaki ang tendency na may jaundice si baby if hindi sila pareho ng blood type, or RH negative ang blood type ni Mommy, na rare nga)...

in cases din na there's bleeding, pain or other abnormalities, your doctor might perform a BPP on top of the pelvic ultrasound... BPP (biophysical profile) is just a special ultrasound where certain things are checked and measured (para ding congenital anomaly scan), lalo na if the level of amniotic fluid has to be monitored...

pero generally, expect lang an IE pag kabuwanan mo na... they'd check kasi if your cervix is ripening as it should, if nag-open na sya etc....

mine ripened but didn't open... my baby also didnt lighten (get into postion) kaya ako na-CS

oh and if hindi ka maselan and kabuwanan mo na...google exercise ekek you can do and walk, walk, walk!!! it will really help in the pushing (at least ok endurance mo)... get a massage (light, pre-natal) din, it helps with edema :)

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

meron na po bang moms dito na nakapag-travel na ng international flight while 34-36 wks preggy? kapag ganun, kelangan pa ba ng medical certificate or kahit wala na? TIA

[Ice Burn]

Most airlines usually do not allow women above 34 weeks to fly.

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

i've read somewhere sa cebupacific, they allow 6-8mos.old expectant mothers kaya lang they have to fill out a form.
and i've read in this thread (or another thread) na meron na daw nakapag international flight @36wks... so i dunno how it works, like, upon check-in ba papakita *** form, or certificate... or before mag-book ng flight (although di naman nila malalaman upon booking).. maybe before entering the airplane? :hmm:
what if maliit lang ang tummy at mukhang less than 6 wks hindi na ba nila papansinin.. hehe
anybody here experienced travelling international flight while preggy, around 36wks? TIA

[ryvl]

hi! i'm on my 22nd week.. i'm planning to travel din around my 26th week... sana ok sa airlines.. hehe ;p

[~gIrLnXtDoOr~]

hi ryvl >> nakapagtravel nako int'l flight @25wks. ok lang naman sa airlines. siguro kapag maliit pa tummy at di obvious wala namang hassle.

[rachelle51972]

hello Mommies-to-be!!

I'm a newbie here on this thread. I'm on my ninth week of pregnancy. Medyo ok lang naman. I don't have terrible morning sickness di kagaya ng iba. I just don't know sa next coming months baka may worst pa dito. Ang usual sickness ko lang would be in the afernoon. I will start being very tired kahit wala namang ginagawa. Meron ding times na parang palagi na lang ako nag-ca-catch ng breath....hinihingal parati kahit di naman kumikilos. I also have tendencies to vomit pero hindi naman masyado especially pag nalaman ko na ang dinner ay something oily or matapang ang amoy. I hate nilagang baka na nilagyan ng patis. It was my worst sickness nung naamoy ko sya... para akong nanghina and so i wasn't able to eat.

Cry-baby din ako without any major cause. Minsan sa commercial lang naiiyak na ko...heheheh.. kakatawa....

I will be having my first prenatal on Aug 4. Oo nga at medyo napatagal dahil hirap appoinment sa OB-GYNE dito especially kung under OHP ka.

Anyways, I stopped wearing mga pants kasi parang naiipit yung tyan ko. For sure, mag-shop around na siguro ako for new clothes. Parang di ko na-feel mag suot ng jeans... saka na lang ulet.

Ok.... this is me for now.

[suomy01]

hi there!!!

share ko lang.
hay masyado na ako kinakabahan kasi due ko this july 29 tapos 2 times na ako na IE ng ob ko until now closed parin cervix ko at mataas p rin daw. tapos sabi pa ni doktora makipot daw *** cervix ko. as of now, monitoring na ako ng movements ni baby every after meal dapat daw hindi magless than 5 *** movements nia per hour after meal.
lalo lang talaga akong kinakabahan nung sinbi niang baka CS nalang nya ako depende sa result sa 29 kung hindi pa ako maglabor.
gusto ko talagang magnormal kahit masakit maglabor (sabi nila) parang mas masarap pa ring maexperience na maglabor.
possible kaya na nasa genes nio *** the way ng panganganak nio kc *** mga older siblings ko nagoverdue rin sila.

hi everyone...sa mga working moms dito...ilang months ba dapat mag leave?ako kase sobrang tamad na pumasok sa office...gusto ko na sana mag leave..i'm on my 7th month.and by august 8th month na...haaayyy so tired na lang palagi.:(

[ayessa3174]

:mecry:kakakuha ko lang n urine C&S ko. pangalawang test ko na ito.

yung una, ang nakalagay lang;
escherichia coli 60,000 CFU/ML
Group D Streptococci (enterococci) 20,000 CFU/ML.
niresetahan ako ng cefuroxime (zegen).

ngayon naman kakukuha ko lang nung resulta ng urine C&S ko.
ang nakalagay;
escherichia coli 4,000 CFU/ML
Group B Beta-hemolytic Streptococci 20,000 CFU/ML,
Group D Streptococci (enterococci) 50,000 CFU/ML

Next week pa kc ang schedule ko ng check up. Pero sobra ang pag-aalala ko kase, may nabasa ako na delikado sa mga baby yung Group B Beta-hemolytic Streptococci.

Meron po ba dito sa PEX na may findings na ganito sa urine C&S?
san po ba nakukuha ito? ano ba effect nito sa baby? gusto ko na sana magpacheck up ngayon kaso masama pakiramdam ko. grabe na kase ang manas ko.

Sana may magreply po sa akin tungkol dito. :mecry:

First few visits (usually done on the 1st trimester): CBC, Blood typing (ABO & Rh), VDRL, HBsAg, anti-HBs, Rubella IgG and IgM. Glucose is tested if high-risk, i.e., if with family history of diabetes. Transvaginal ultrasound is usually done to check if live pregnancy, how many fetus, intrauterine or extrauterine.

Between 18-22 weeks: Ultrasound for congenital anomaly scan is requested.

Between 24-28 weeks: 50 g Oral glucose challenge test (screening test for diabetes)

Third trimester near due date: Repeat CBC, repeat ultrasound to check presentation if cephalic or breech, estimated fetal weight.

Bakit ganun? I'm on my 16th week na pero transvaginal ultrasound and urine test pa lang pinagawa sakin? :confused:

[sweetwahm]

pagtyagaan mo nalang, ganyan talaga. By law, you are allowed maternity leave up to 60 calendar days for normal delivery and 75 days for CS. Depende na yan sa employer mo if you get special privileges like extra leave credits or what. My advice, and I say this from experience, is for your leave to take effect as close to your due date as possible. Think of it this way: your maternity leave will be best enjoyed to the full 60 (or 75 days) when you have your baby in your arms already.

[firefoxxx]

^ thank you sis for the info. :) pero try ko na din mag mag leave by 8th month ko, (month of august 3rd week) nakausap ko na yung h.r namin basta daw may letter daw ako ng o.b na need ko na mag rest. pero sana sa check up ko by saturday payagan na din ako mag leave ng o.b ko. i;m so tired na talaga..nagtitiis na lang ako minsan absent.ok lang sana kung s.l agad or v.l kaso medjo mahigpit sa company namin at kelangan pa ng medical certificate to file s.l and about v.l 2weeks before dapat nakapag file na.sayang lang... :(

[jhos_ray]

Hi mga mommies!

I'm on my 29th week and we just had an ultrasound. As per ultrasound, we'll be having a girl pero not 100% sure. Kasi yung regular ultrasound lang naman ang pinagawa namin not the 4D or 3D.
Ok lang sobrang hapi kasi we're really praying for a baby girl this time coz our eldest is a boy. Pero bad nga lang kasi not 100% yung happiness kasi nga may doubt pa rin. Sabi kasi nung nag-ultrasound pedeng nagtago lang yung lawit saka yung egg kasi iniipit ni baby e hindi nya masydong makita..pero most probably naman daw e girl to. yun nga lang mga 80% lang sya sure. Haaay....sana girl na talaga.

Sabi rin ng mga officemates ko ganun nga daw pag girl hindi sinasabing ganun sila ka-sure kasi nga daw maraming cases din na pag lumabas e boy yun pala nakatago lang *** lawit nya during ultrasound.. ganun nga ba yun? Has anyone here experience that?

We want to do it by 4D ultrasound sana kaso ang mahal 6K! Sabi ko wag na lang. I can feel it naman na girl ito e. really praying for that..:)

[sweetwahm]

nothing wrong naman with a regular ultrasound. you can have another regular ultrasound in a couple of months and baka mas ma identify na ang gender by then. 3D and 4D's make your ultrasound special but if it's too much on the pocket, wag na lang.

[firefoxxx]

hopin' na boy yung baby ko, my Hubby kase wants baby boy eh.i'm on my 20th week 3rd ultrasound ko and 80% na baby boy daw.whew! sana boy nga...pray tayo sis...na sana girl sayo and akin boy :)

[Li'l Sistah]

diba if the ultrasound shows a boy, usually it's a boy na talaga. pero if it's a girl nga, may chances na mali. 3D/4D isn't 6000 naman... mga 3500 meron na, maganda. sa In My Womb. sa medical city, 4200 (parang ganun). but you have to be around 6-7 months para maganda yung capture. true, nothing grand, just your baby on 3d and real time video (but syempre, priceless).

abdominal ultrasounds are pretty accurate naman, provided that your baby cooperates. my first two girls showed them being girls during the 5th month scan and they were girls at birth (hehe). when i had a transvaginal at 12 weeks (because of the threatened abortion) the ob-sonologist at medical city saw na nga the gender, but told me to come back sa 2nd trimester para mas defined yung organs, she told me though that it looked like a boy back then. so when i went back last week, confirmed nga na boy. even the image showed the small putots (hehe)... so unlike the "hamburger shape" pag girl.

OK sis don't worry I'll include you and your baby in my prayers para bigyan tayo ni God ng girl sa kin and boy sayo :lol:. Pero syempre it's still up to Him kung ano ang gusto nyang ibigay as long as they are healthy db?*okay*

ask your ob then. some ob-gyn don't request for everything for cost-effectiveness.

yup! will do that for my check-up on friday. :)

Hoping for your response. next week pa kase check up ko.

[DELISYUS]

ayessa... you can google your questions you know :) just so you'll have an idea and can better phrase your questions to your doctor...

pero why wait din for next week pa? why can't you go to your pedia asap??? siguro naman hindi ka na nya pababalikin next week if all else is okay... and if you're going to require new meds, pababalikin ka din nya after a repeat urinalysis/pap to see if you're responding sa meds...

[DELISYUS]

Bakit ganun? I'm on my 16th week na pero transvaginal ultrasound and urine test pa lang pinagawa sakin? :confused:

usually kasi... pag parang textbook case naman yung pregnancy, OBs won't order more tests kasi they find it unnecessary...

even yung congenital anomaly scan is not SOP, pag meron lang difficulties during the pregnancy, or strong history of something in the family...

and yung mga oral glucose challenge test.... around last sem na inoorder minsan ng doctor...

BUT...if you are feeling anything weird, kahit paranoid ka lang, consult your OB... you have the perfect excuse to be paranoid naman eh :) pero kung wala naman, then be thankful actually for the savings... :)

paranoid kasi ako talaga, nagka-miscarriage kasi ako last year, blighted ovum (which I mentioned sa OB ko) sana nga wala naman yun connection sa case ko ngayon. parang feel ko nga nagiging-OC na ako pagdating sa pregnancy ko. buti na lang, naisipan kong magbasa ulit ng PEX, ang dami ko natututunan sa mga mommies dito. nililista ko na nga yung mga recommendations nyo para ready na ako by january. :D

im on my 5th month na, pero gusto ng parents ko mag-switch ako sa male OB kasi daw sa experience nila mas may "presence of mind" daw yung male OB's lalo na pag emergencies. kasi nag 50-50 at birth si mama, yung female OB nya raw nagpanic na, tapos nagintervene yung male OB sa kabilang DR room at na-save si mama. ayoko mapraning dito, di ko iniisip itong mga emergency kasi regular naman ang check ups ko. iniintindi ko nalang na first pregnancy sa family namin ito and Im the only daughter kaya siguro sila ganon.

ano ba disadvantage/advantage ng male at female OB? i dont mind shifting to a male OB but at 5 months di kaya late na at ginugulo ko lang isipan ko?

[Li'l Sistah]

^^^i've had both male and female OBs. male yung OB ko sa US with my firstborn. he had lotsa patients and all 5 consultation rooms in his clinic had bulletin boards filled to the brim with photos of babies and kids plus letters from parents. sikat sya, so he had lotsa patients. the downside to having him was super mahal yung PF and consultation fees nya (back then, it was like $200 per visit, without insurance).

here in the PI, i've had female OBs lang. pansin ko lang na yung medyo oldie ko na OB (from my previous pregnancy), di nagshare ng mobile number. so pag may emergency, i have to wait for her clinic to open. :P nyar. so i switched OBs for this pregnancy. my OB now is always on call, even in the wee hours of the morning. she's young, but i trust her more.

my nanny (who is also pregnant) has a male OB, ok naman daw.

i would say "presence of mind" is a trait either a male or female can possess. you just have to choose wisely. my aunt, who lost a baby at birth back in the 70s because her female OB failed to detect a burst ovary, is partial to male OBs as well. she was the one who referred me to my male OB in the US.

but i think a doctor's abilities and pagiging alisto is relative. kung baga, hindi lang dahil babae or lalaki, ok ka na or better (or worse). :D

[firefoxxx]

^^ sis, ako male o.b ko hmmm, until now nga medyo nahihiya ako or naiilang pero in my observation ok naman siya and magaling siya. ni refer lang din siya sa akin ng friend ko. pero nahihiya pa din ako minsan magtanong tanong para kase siyang masungit.:D

[firefoxxx]

hello sis! tama ka! had my check up last saturday and i asked my o.b regarding early maternity leave. it depends daw sa company kase yon kung early daw ako mag leave baka early din daw ako bumalik ng office kase baka mabawasan *** leave credits ko for maternity..sabi pa nga ng o.b kahit hanggang mag due daw ako pwde poa din daw ako pumasok depende na daw sa akin yun at sa company. balak ko sana september 2nd week or 3rd week due ko ng 1st week ng october.. any idea?tama ba yung plan ko for leave?haaayy so tired na talaga..kaya puro leave ako at s.l nagtitiyaga na lang ako :(

i guess hindi masisisi parents mo for their prejudice...but that's really what it is, a pejudice

presence of mind is not a matter of sex/gender...

ako naman, am sure there are excellent male OBs out there...but apart from me siguro not being comfy with a male one, i like lang the fact din na the female OBs at least have a better idea of what mothers go through since they also go through it...

[Li'l Sistah]

^^^yes, my OB with my second-born, although hesitant to have me go through delivery via lamaze agreed only because her bunso had problems when she gave birth. naabutan daw ng anesthesia *** baby nya (which is intended for the mom lang and not the baby), so pumayag sya when i insisted na lamaze ako. sa panganay ko kasi, lamaze ako sa US.

3rd patient lang ata nya ako na natural childbirth. pero bilang mom herself, she understood my concerns on giving birth without meds. :)

[firefoxxx]

i'm on my 31 weeks na...medjo excited na ako...and the same time kinakabahan.grabe *** movements ni baby ngayon as in sakit niya mag stretch and kicks.minsan naka bukol sa tummy ko kung hands ba un or what.mag start na ako mag shopping ng mga needs pa ni baby at needs ko din.para na din ma exercise ako. :)

[sweetwahm]

Maswerte lang siguro ako na my home is so near my workplace. Around 4 blocks lang, pwedeng lakarin kung di tinatamad. At malapit lang talaga kami sa hospital. Kaya nung buntis pa ako, I planned to maximize my maternity leave talaga by continuing to work hanggang sa feel ko na talaga ang labor. The day I went into labor and I was advised by my OB to be admitted na, I informed my office and yun na rin ang simula ng maternity leave ko. I had the full 60 days all to my baby.

Siguro assess mo nalang situation mo. Pero mas masarap talaga na mas mahaba ang panahon with you actually holding your baby rather than you moping around waiting for labor dahil tinatamad ka na pumasok.

[firefoxxx]

^ oo nga sis eh! kaya tiis tiis na lang din muna. anyways, august na naman na..and mabilis lang ang panahon next month september na, 2 weeks before ng due ko siguro sis, ok na un na mag leave na ako noh?2 weeks before my due date? :)

[sweetwahm]

WEll, kung kaya mo pa naman tiisin, gawin mo nalang 1 week before your estimated due date.

[firefoxxx]

^ sana kung matitiis ko pa:lol:

[DELISYUS]

ako...i filed my maternity leave a week early...so grabeng boredom lang talaga nabot ko sa bahay, lalo pa nga i wasnt even getting braxton hicks :D

[dedski]

napaka-antukin ko ngayon, gusto ko lagi matulog, parang balik ako sa paglilihi e..anybody experienced this sa 2nd trimester?

[firefoxxx]

ako...i filed my maternity leave a week early...so grabeng boredom lang talaga nabot ko sa bahay, lalo pa nga i wasnt even getting braxton hicks :D

1 week before your due date sis?:)

[DELISYUS]

mga 3 days before my due date... :D

[firefoxxx]

^ wow strong mo naman...sana kayanin ko ng ganun.nice ha...normal delivery po ikaw?

[cOnfious]

hello po ask ko lang im on my 36th wik and im planning to have my

maternity leave next wik on my 37th wik pero my due is sept. 5 mejo

gusto ko na din magleave kc worrry ako malau work ko from tandang

sora to makati worried ako baka mapaanak ako sa fx or sa daan or

worst sa ofis ok's na ba un? o should i stay till next wik?

pls kindly advise

[DELISYUS]

CS po :) hindi nga kasi ako nagba-braxton hicks and i never went into labor :)


oh and mga girls.... lahat ata tayo we feared na what if mapaanak tayo sa fx or daan or wherever.... but konti lang yung ganun, unless mag-labor kayo and give birth within an hour... which is also very seldom :)

labor usually lasts for hours and may weekly check-up naman kayo to check if you've dilated na... i just mean, there is more than enough time for you to get somewhere so long as aware kayo sa signs ng labor and sa sinasabi ng katawan ninyo...

[sweetwahm]

:lol: Mec, 3 days before I gave birth, I was having my belly cast done. Just in time!

And yeah girls, seldom lang talaga nangyayari ang birth wherever. Usually you can get to a hospital naman in time because labor takes a while. Fear ko nga dati yun eh. But labor can start nga even days before you actually give birth, it gets stronger when it's time and will last for hours!! Usually you will know when it's time to be at the hospital na.

[firefoxxx]

Delisyus - sis, nag share ka na ba ng experienced mo regarding sa c.s mo sa thread na "usapang c.s"? madalas ako mag basa dun para mgkaroon ng idea.by the way c.s kase ako.

kaya ko naman gusto mag early leave kase nga tamad na tamad na ako and sakit na ng katawan ko and medjo hirap na ako makatulog lagi ako nagigicing sa konting ingay lang tapos hirap na ulit makatulog.anyways, konting tiis pa talaga my due is october 02.:bashful:

[DELISYUS]

firefoxx... sanay ka ba sa masahe??? get an OK from your doctor and get regular massages to relieve yourself of aches and pains (and manas, if you have it)

ako..starting from my 6th month, weekly masahe nung buntis... sobrang walang manas ako, and limited yung aches and pains... and may shape pa din ako even nung buntis ako :D nyahahahaha

[firefoxxx]

^ what kind of massage ba sis?need ko bang pumunta sa massage parlor *** sa mga buntis?or yung ordinary massage lang?may book ba nun?

[DELISYUS]

well... Mom Massage offers prenatal massage...some naman I know get the services of a hilot... ako naman, masahistang marunong humawak ng buntis yung nagho-home service sakin :)

syempre, to be safe, dapat yung may experience sa buntis...and light massage lang naman... hindi ka naman din dadapa :)

tho pede din siguro si hubs :) ahehe

[firefoxxx]

so kahit c hubby sis pwde mag massage sa akin basta light lang?kase wala akong tiwala sa naghihilot/nagmamasage sa house ng mom ko.mukang hindi niya alam kung panu massage sa preggy..kahit light lang para anti stress lang at makapag relax.

[ayessa3174]

sa wakas.. magaling na UTI ko. at nawala na *** bacteria.. :) 33 weeks na ko. ang bigat bigat na ng tyan ko. 44 na fundus ko. as in super laki na ng tyan ko.. excited na ko na makita sila :D

[cOnfious]

ask ko lang pag 8 mos ba o pataas dapat ba

iultrasound ulit para makita kong nakaposisyon

na c baby kc *** ob ko kung di ko pa sinabi di

nya ko iultrasound hay naku., tama po ba?

or para malamn yung height ng fundus1st baby

ko kc ito kaya mejo la q alam.

[cOnfious]

true din po ba na pag 1st baby eh., usually mas

matagal ang xpctd date kumbaga ah., lumalampas

pa sa xpctd d8. kc i heard na danica sotto gave

birth 10 days na mas maaga sa xpctd d8 nya o

depnde din kung tagtag ka n sa activity mo?:)

thanks

[DELISYUS]

confious... dapat practice nga na around latter part of your third trimester eh you will have another ultrasound :) pero baka kasi nakakapa naman ng OB mo na in position na si baby (and upto the last moment naman, ang mga babies pwedeng magbago ng isip!)

and yes, ang firstborns nga daw...usually 10-14 days earlier or later than expected due date... but yun nga, that is affected by so many other things... like complications, mommy's activities, mommy's body, stress, etc

[firefoxxx]

same here hindi din ako inadvise ng ob ko na magpa ultrasound ulit..nag request lang si Hubby kung pwede daw ako iultrasound kase gusto niya makita movement ni baby.and nakapa nga ni OB si baby na naka position na siya kaya siguro hindi nia pa ako advise magpa ultrasound.balitaan kita DELISYUS after ko magpa check up sa saturday. :)

[cOnfious]

Delisyus, thanks sa reply pero since nag-request

ako im having my ultrasound dis coming sat pero

im hoping to give birth earliers thanks again:)

thanks din to firefoxx

[firefoxxx]

^ thanks din..balitaan mo na lang din ako.. :)

[firefoxxx]

hayy hindi ako nakapag pa check up last saturday..nagkaroon ako ng stiff neck, pero mag grabe pa sa stiff neck yata yung nangyari sa akin, nabigla ako sa pag ikot ko sa kabilang side kaya hindi ko maikilos *** right neck ko, grabe sa sakit halos umiyak ako..grabe sa sakit.kala ko need ko pa pumunta sa hospital to check dahil sa sakit.thanks god! at alam ng lola ko yung gagawin.medjo ok na siya ngayon.

[DELISYUS]

ahehe firefoxxx... konting ingat na lang talaga sis, ganyan talaga, pregnancy can make things harder for us :)

[firefoxxx]

kaya nga sis, ang ingat ko na sa pagkilos kilos ko! and napansin ko talagang every morning nag t throw up ako, *** kinain ko or water lang ang t throw up ko before ako pumasok sa work.but pag wala naman pasok and usually 8-9am ako gising and then kumain wala naman throw up nangyayari.hmmmm..weird!:lol:

[happy_now]

have you guys heard of toxoplasmosis? nakukuha daw to sa cat litter and delikado daw sa pregrant women. i remember kase during my 8th week, naglinis ako ng pupu ng cat pero once lang un. meron kayang effect un? :depressed: sorry mejo paranoid nako im on my 6th month na. so far so good. :bashful:

[sweetwahm]

^^ wala naman siguro if it was just that one time. But avoid the cat litter from now on while you're still pregnant

[sneezy]

you can get checked for titers for toxoplasmosis if gusto mo mapalagay ang loob mo.
chances are, if you've had a cat for a long time, you've already had toxoplasmosis and are immune to it already which means you cannot pass it on to your baby anymore

hi! i'm new sa thread na to. 13 weeks and 4 days pregnant. i'm advised to be on bed rest by my ob kc i had bleeding last monday. nag-open ang cervix ko so there was a threatened abortion. sobrang natakot talaga ako.
this is my second pregnancy. sa panganay ko kahit hirap akong magbuntis kinaya ko ang normal physical activities. dito sa pangalawa madali ako mapagod. nung nag-bleed nga ako wala naman ako ginawa, except that i was stressed sa pag-aaway namin ng hubby ko.
doctor advised na huwag na raw ako mag-isip at magkikikilos, so i chose na humanap ng pagkakaabalahan that will help me keep positive thoughts.
has anybody here experienced being on bed rest?

ako sis. hehe. nastress din ako kay hubby nung mga 12 weeks ako, tapos pag gising ko the following morning, may bleeding na. as in grabe yung bleeding. na-rush ako sa medical city tapos 2 hours ako sa pre-labor room nila (kasi madaling araw, sarado pa women's clinic) waiting for the Transvaginal Ultrasound at 8am.

turns out i had a low-lying placenta, so threatened abortion, but the cervix was still closed and amniotic fluid was ok, sac intact, etc. baby was active.

so bedrest ako, complete with bedpan, for 2 weeks initially. medicine ko was duphaston and isoxilan. then extended ako ng 4 more weeks. halos every 5 days lang ako kung magshower, puro sponge bath lang, because di talaga pwedeng tumayo.

cousin ko kasi before, same situation, spotting because of a low lying placenta, na-previa sya, tapos n-abrupto, tapos na butas ang amniotic sac, nag leak, nag pre-term, and sadly, the baby didn't make it at 25 weeks yun. :( kasi she didn't completely follow her OB's instructions to be on bedrest. she still got up to piss, take a bath, surf the net, etc.

so i took extra precaution na. good thing naman kasi at 18weeks, nakita sa ultrasound that my placenta migrated na and i can resume all activities na, except that i have to take it easy. no stairs, no driving long distances, no extra stress, no sitting for long periods of time. kasi based on the last ultrasound, i was experiencing transient myometrial contractions, and at that early a stage, dapat wala yun.

good luck, sis. just take it easy, and konting sacrifice for the baby. it will be more than worth the bedrest. i had bed sores on my first week of lying down pala, and my veins sa feet throbbed and hurt when i first started walking. grabe, but all worth it. :D you shouldn't be on the net pa nga, stay in bed. read books, watch series or something. pray. :D

have you guys heard of toxoplasmosis? nakukuha daw to sa cat litter and delikado daw sa pregrant women. i remember kase during my 8th week, naglinis ako ng pupu ng cat pero once lang un. meron kayang effect un? :depressed: sorry mejo paranoid nako im on my 6th month na. so far so good. :bashful:

buti pala we ended up not getting a kitten. was supposed to buy a persian kitty but my husband was against it because we've had a rabies scare in the family recently.

so glad tuloy that we didn't get the kitten. :D

Yeah I even got my cat tested for Toxoplasmosis. Good thing he didn't have it. My OB wanted me to test for it but it was much much cheaper to get the cat tested. :lol: P900 lang yung testing ng cat while if I got tested it would be P4600. For your peace of mind, you can go get yourself tested at St. Lukes. Or you can get your cat tested

Anyway if your cat is indoors and has never set foot on soil, you're pretty safe from toxo. Besides, unless you put your fingers in your mouth after handling cat crap with your bare hands then that's really the only time you'll get toxoplasmosis.

It's more common to get toxoplasmosis from handling raw meat though. So when you're doing the one cooking, please take great care and make sure your meat is well cooked and never put your fingers in your mouth after handling raw meat.

[firefoxxx]

[Onirach]

Hello po. I'm on my 19th week...

Kayo po ba eh naramdaman niyo na malakas ang movement ni baby or hindi pa? Ako kasi hindi pa masyado lumalaki ang tummy ko. pero sabi naman ng dr ko eh tama lang ang size ni baby for his/her fetal age.

kayo po?

[firefoxxx]

^ hi! ako na feel ko *** strong movements ni baby 6th-7th month na ako and until now...pero by 5th month medjo ma fe feel mo na din movements nia..and pag nagpa ultrasound ka makikita mo naman na gumagalaw galaw na si baby. :)

[soycoffee]

Hi Onirach! Pareho pala tayo, 19th week ko na rin! Minsan ko lang din mafeel yung movement ng baby ko. Minsan once a day lang, minsan nga every other day pa. Saka sandali lang siya, ilang seconds lang tapos stop na. Pero feel na feel ko naman kapag gumagalaw siya. May time naman na feel ko super laki ng tiyan ko yung tipong puputok na siya, minsan naman parang maliit siya lalo na kapag bagong gising ako. :D

[Li'l Sistah]

usually, pag first baby nyo, di nyo pa narerecognize ang movements ni baby. it starts like there are butterflies in your stomach, parang small bubbles na pumuputok. tapos, it gets stronger as the weeks go by. soon, you will know na definitely baby nyo yung gumagalaw. :D

sa first baby ko (i was super young then), i used to place the tv remote on my tummy to monitor movements. lalo na sa 20th week and up, kasi nadidistinguish na daw ng baby ang pag touch nyo sa tummy nyo... nafifeel din nya. hehe.

[soycoffee]

^ Maririnig na ba ng mga daddies yung movement ng baby kapag lumaki na? I tried it once sa sister ko, 6 months na siya nun and with stethoscope pa, pero wala naman ako narinig. Once pa lang kasi nangyari na saktong nakahawak yung partner ko sa tummy ko then gumalaw si bebi. :(

[sororityslut]

hi mga mommies, i'm 34 weeks pregnant na. My 2nd child just turned one last Sunday. Super excited na ako manganak kaya lang parang ang tagal pa Oct. 9 kase due date ko. Nagspotting ako last week, as in konting red line lang nakita ko sa tissue nung magwipe ako after ko umihi. Pacheckup agad ako sa ob ko, pinaultrasound nya ako kase daw baka low lying placenta ko. Normal naman yung ultrasound ko posterior daw yung placenta and baby weighs 4.6 lbs. Wala naman ako contraction. At least everything turns out normal, akala ko kailangan ko pa magbedrest. Mas na sstress nga ako pag nasa bahay kase maliliit pa mga anak ko, kame lang ni hubby nagaalaga kaya mas gusto ko pa pumasok sa office.:)

hayaan mo, pagsasawaan nyo din yan when the time comes. ang alam ko, mahina magpickup ng heart beat ng baby ang stethoscope, you need a doppler device for that. ewan ko lang kung medyo malaki na (like 8-9months? doctors? anyone?)...

when you reach your 22nd week and up, nako, di mo mapagkakaila na sinisipa ka ni baby! you will see very active moments. i-tiempo nyo ng partner mo yung right after meals, mahiga ka, sobrang active si baby once nakakain. :D

san daw nanggaling yung blood? thinning ng cervical mucus? do you still carry your firstborn around?

cousin ko din, 34 weeks na. she has an irritable uterus so she was on steroids and meds for a long time, and bedrest sya all of her 2nd and 3rd trimester. but according to her OB, pwede na daw sya manganak. may condition pala na "irritable uterus" no? as in, there's even a website called irritableuterus.com :lol:

[sororityslut]

^^hindi rin masagot ng ob ko kung saan galing yung blood. magpapacheckup ako sa kanya mamya, last week kase hindi nya ako na IE kase daw baka lalo ako duguin. Paminsan minsan binubuhat ko yung 1 yr old ko pero sandali lang as in pag kukunin ko sya sa crib or pag isasakay ko siya sa stroller. Sumasakit na kase yung likod ko pag binubuhat ko siya ng matagal.

True nga! Kanina after breakfast, naramdaman na ng daddy niya na parang may tumitibok-tibok sa tummy ko. Nakahiga kasi yung part ng tummy ko sa kamay niya kaya ramdam na ramdam niya. :love: Nakatulog tuloy kami sa ganung position.:lol:

May nakita kaming heart monitoring system, kaya lang ang mahal, P2500! Kung may extra money to spare lang kami, binili na namin kaya lang sayang lang kasi ilang months lang namin gagamitin and we're not planning na sundan si baby anytime soon.

[^pusa^]

question, usually how many weeks nakikita yung gestational sac?

thanks!

Ang alam ko around 4 weeks pa lang makikita na agad yun sa ultrasound. Visit these sites for more info:

There's a possibility. Sakin kasi IE muna yung ginawa (kinapa kung enlarge yung uterus) then saka nagrequest ng ultrasound after 2 weeks, mga 5 weeks yata ako nun. Kelan ba sinabi ng OB mo na magpa-ultrasound ulit? Para naman hindi sayang yung gastos. :D

1st time to be pregnant & i wonder if im really pregnant coz im so abnormal. it was definitely positive & i have an ob-gyne doctor already. she said i should count my blessings because i don't even any of those normal physical symptoms for pregnancy. still, inspite of what she assured me about, i still have doubts. i mean i don't get morning sickness nor throw up over food just like almost everyone pregnant does. i don't even crave for food. i'm only on my 1st tri (3rd month) & is this really normal?

ang swerte mo naman! yung SIL ko ganyan din, lumalaki lang yung tiyan, kaya nagawa pa nila itago sa family niya before sila ikasal ng brother ko. if you want to make sure or really feel na preggy ka you can have an ultrasound para makita at marinig mo na rin yung heartbeat ng baby mo. ;)

[soycoffee]

i'm on my 5th month na pero wait pa kami ng 6-7 months para maganda na kuha sa 3d/4d ultrasound. :p

[Li'l Sistah]

^^^ah, may mga OBs kasi na nagrerequest ng abdominal untrasound (lalo na pag may complications) during the 5th or 6th month. pero kung habol mo ay yung 3d/4d, best time talaga yung 7th month.

[DELISYUS]

MoonStruck... my SIL was like that... she even got to go to Divi a lot when she was preggy and mega shop talaga kasi the most abnrmal she felt was a slight aversion to the smell of her feminine wash... as in yun lang!

Swerte ka :)

While yung iba naman, anything that may scent, parang pinapatay sila.... the good news lang for those na grabe ang aversions and nausea is, statistically, lower ang miscarriage/pre-term risks nila because of all the hormonal assault... :)

[Ice Burn]

I came from my OB checkup yesterday and my OB is guessing that it's a boy because of the fast heartbeat. Oh well. Anyway, we'll find out in a month's time when I do my next ultrasound.

Kung boy, ganun talaga. I just hope Yuri won't bully his younger sibling too much. May makings na of a little bully. Mana daw sa kin according to my mudra. Tsk tsk. :p Hubs kasi was bullied, by his 10 older sisters. :lol:

Hi Li'l Sistah. Sa Monday pa ako magpapa-check-up ulit. Pero tingin ko nga hindi pa ako ipapa-ultrasound ng OB ko, feel ko ang low maintenance ng pregnancy ko, isa lang yung vitamins ko. Baka humingi ako ng calcium pill kasi sumasakit yung sa lower balakang ko and sa bandang buttocks. Naeexperience nyo rin ba yun? I tried drinking sterilized milk, sumakit yung tiyan ko. Dati naman ok lang sakin yung milk, simula ng nagbuntis ako, sumasakit tiyan ko sa gatas. Kaya yung Anmum ko hindi ko maubos-ubos. Sayang mga, 1 malaking can yung binili namin. I still have to try drinking skim milk kung ganun din yung effect sakin. :depressed:

[sneezy]

. Baka humingi ako ng calcium pill kasi sumasakit yung sa lower balakang ko and sa bandang buttocks. Naeexperience nyo rin ba yun?

It's probably Sciatica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sciatica). I had that during my pregnancy too.

[soycoffee]

sneezy, parang nakakatakot naman yung ibang causes Sciatica other than pregnancy! Anong medication yung binigay sayo ng OB mo?

[draindead]

hi mommies :)

i had an ultrasound yesterday and natuwa talaga kami nung sinabi nung OB ko na its a boy!!

share ko lang po :)

[sneezy]

sneezy, parang nakakatakot naman yung ibang causes Sciatica other than pregnancy! Anong medication yung binigay sayo ng OB mo?

My OB didn't prescribe anything.

Rolfing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolfing) is what got rid of it.

[Li'l Sistah]

my left butt also hurts often. there are days na wala, but there are days when it hurts. grrrr.

draindead, congrats! :D
