Hi there xyndirit...so, how far along are you? I had my second child 4 months ago and it was quiet an experience. Both my pregnancies went good, I didn't have any problems nor complications, hindi rin ako naglihi, I was really lucky. I also continued my aerobics and weighlifting classes until my third trimester. But when I hit my eigth month, I told my husband that I will change my workout plan to just walking. And working out really helps, my first child was a breeze, I had him vaginally.

Now, my second one was a different story. Somehow, he was in the wrong position (not breech), so I had to have a C-section. I never thought C-section could be very painful until that day, especially the recuperating period. Both of my kids were born 8 lbs 5 oz.

I'm back in track now, back to my workout routine. Thank God I have a job that won't allow me to be overweight so I don't have any choice but to loose my baby fat. Tell me more about your pregnancy.......

[xyndirit]

hi everybody! :wave:

salamat NOKiE , cmars2, 11# UST_guard'98 (Go! USTeeeeee....BSHRM '98), 1killboy (learn from the experts!) and stnickmt.

wow! stnickmt, superwoman ha! i used to run with my hubby before i got pregnant, but now i can't even last a minute and hinihingal na ako! this is our first and i'm on my 6th month now. ang hiraaaaaapppp!!! sinong nagsabing madali ang magbuntis?
:scream:

i used to convince my husband to go back to the Phils. and spend 9 months with my family. I really crave for manggang hilaw with bagoong. those that came from mexico is noooooo good. so i ate lemon instead.

:rolleyes:

during my first trimester, i only ate ham and cheese sandwich and melon. then after that, i guess pinaglihian ko spaghetti. we would always go to Jollibee in union city (eventhough parang carinderia!) just to eat.

well, that's it for now..i'll be back..gotta work...

hey speedracer! want to share something? *poke*

[11# UST_guard'98]

inggit naman ako sa iyo... Ako can't wait to have a baby kasi matatagalan pa... Gusto namin ni hunee stable muna kami at makabalik ako sa college...

[xyndirit]

goodluck 11# UST_guard'98!

remember one thing though: be very careful. as in lahat gawin nyo!

things doesn't happen the way you plan it. :D

[xyndirit]

4) what are the best luv-making positions for preggy people?

[Apolpay]

jpljon
questions to the preggy mothers:
1) did u make luv during the preggy period?
= yes

2) at what month did u stop?
= meron nga syan eh 9 months na pwede pa, sabi nga ng Doctor ko sa OB-Gyne
as long as na mag iingat kayo pwede pa yan, basta ingat lang...

3) was the luv-making good or better than not being preggy?
= hmmmmm luv making is good / being preggy ok lang di yata buo ang pamilya pag walang baby.

4) what are the best luv-making positions for preggy people?
= di na kailangn yun basta love nyo yung isa't isa ok na yun noh!

yun lang po!

[xyndirit]

is ur avatar PRECIOUS MOMENTS?... la lang... kasi i like those characters when i have my baby... [FYI: im also expecting ...]

anyway, cute kasi precious moments dba?... letz congratulate ourselves!!! how long have u been expecting?... :)

im so happy for us!!! :)

[xyndirit]

hi paouee :wave:

yes it's precious moments. aren't they cute?? i wish i bought some at divisoria when i was still in the philippines 'cause it's really expensive if you buy it in their website ($35 to $70).

i'm 6 months on the way and i still experience morning sickness (argh!) until now.:(

but it's really fun, though! :)

how about you? don't forget your prenatal vitamins and eat sweets and rice in moderation, ok? ikaw rin ang mahihirapan. :bungi:

speedracer's right: greatest feeling ever!!!!!!

:glee:

[PAOUEE]

xyndirit, since when have u experienced morning sicknesses?... yokong ma-feel un kasi im working, baka maapektuhan *** pag-work ko... pro hindi naman tiring *** ginagawa ko,,, bka lang kasi ndi me makapasok... la ***... ingat ka lagi!!!

kahit naman sa boy puede ang precious moments dba?>...

ano pala baby mo?... boy/girl? nagpa-ultrasound ka na ba? what gender ba gusto mo dyan sa baby mo>? ;)

[xyndirit]

hi paouee :wave:

it was easter sunday when i started having these weird feelings. parang ulcer. i thought i was food poisoned from the party! my co-worker asked me if we can eat out (everybody in our office loves jap food!) just the idea of eating sushi made me ****!! so she told me right then that i was pregnant. i didn't believe her of course. then i had this test and the doctor told me that i'm almost 6 weeks!! weirdest feeling ever. my husband and i were shocked then i cried. it's like you're underage and you don't know what to do. because i always make sure to take my pill. so it was really a BIG BLOW!!! (i love telling people about my story because it only shows that pills aren't 100% effective. both you and your partner should have protection.)

n-e-wayz, it was a blessing though. for some reason, our lives took a 360 in just one day. everything changed. everybody was happy.

although a lot of people told me pregnancy is going to be a breeze, THAT IS NOT TRUE!!! :bawl:

boy, the first trimester was so hard, i always go home an hour early. i'm on my second trimester now, going to third and i still feel the same. :)

plus he's getting heavier by the minute. i learned about the sex a month ago.

well, paouee, you know what you can do for your baby right now? drink FOLIC ACID. you can buy them at the local drugstore. drink lots of milk. veggies. and NO SODA (rootbeer lang ang ininom ko). although yung mga hindi mo kinakain na food dati medyo may appeal na sa yo ngayon pa lang. hinay lang.

haba reply ko no? excited lang..:D

register ka sa website na to para alam mo what to do:
www.babycenter.com

have fun!;)

[PAOUEE]

u mean to say ur still underage?... how young are u then?how long have u been there>?is ur husband working already?... im just 20 ... medyo biglaan when i knew i was expecting kc i have just graduated from college & my bf(wer not yet married) is stil studying... but happy na rin,,, i mean, im gonna be a mom... im excited na nga e...

but one thinbg im worrying about is that our parents still dont know about it... well wait for the right itme for us to confront them... any words of wisdom on how are we going to confront them in a right way to where they are going to accept it freely? i know at first tyhey'll get mad... im going to accept it... later on, they'll understand & be excited of it... (i hope)...

well the site u gave me i think does not exist... it says:"host not found..." i want to know more about that site & about pregnancy... just a question, is junkfoods bad in the 1st trimester?... kc i love chippy. i eat it everyday... is it bad? i love it since birth kc... sori i have a lot of questions... hope to hear from u soon!!! take care!

[xyndirit]

hi paouee :wave:

i'm already 25 yrs. old. :) when i learned that i was preggy i felt "takot". like what u’re feeling right now. well, girl, you have to tell your parents about it A-S-A-P dahil you REALLY need help now that u’re preggy. They'll be mad of course, for the first 5 to 10 minutes. But after that, concern na sila sa yo. They'll be more excited than you will be, i'll bet. NOW is the right time. this is the time where you shouldn’t feel bad.

You should always be happy!!

About “chippy”, forget about it for 9 months. Junk nga eh. Not healthy for the baby. anything you eat, think about your baby. drink milk. Buy folic acid (any local drugstore), you need about 600 mcg everyday (one tablet) plus of course, your prenatal vitamin. may OB ka na ba? important yan para ma test ka na.

Babycenter.com is the best website for expectant mothers (for dads too!) if you register, they will send you emails (every week) about what you can/ can’t do, how your baby develops, they have polls and the community center is great!!!

:D

if u still have q's, don't hesitate ask. i may not know everything, but i can still help, im sure. clueless din ako about 6 months ago. :rolleyes:

have fun!:D

[jpljon]

ladies (paouee n xyndirit),

you should put yourselves in your parents shoes. try to think about it and how you would feel if your own daughter tells you that she is pregnant without the benefit of marriage. Your initial reaction would be similar to their reaction. In any case, you should tell ASAP because you need their support and understanding. Relying too much on your boyfriend who would have his own problems when he tells his own parents would put you on a disadvantage. And there is a nagging question : What if my boyfriend quits on me now? then what? Nothing is sure in life. You just have to be prepared for any eventuality.

Being pregnant is a lot of fun and lots of hardwork. i still remember when my wife was pregnant with our eldest daughter, we were all excited. I was concerned about her health and the baby's health. my wife was more concerned on the things she would have to buy for the baby. we did not let the doctor tell us the sex of the baby. we just wanted to surprise ourselves at birth and thank God for a healthy baby.

paouee: stop eating junk food. especially chippy, may salt content. baka at this early age, manasin ka at lumobo ka ng husto. try to think positive and of happy things. at this early stage, get a walkman or a discman and an earphone. place the earphone in your belly and play some soothing music. the baby will like that. and try reading to your baby. there are so many things you can do to your baby at this stage. first and foremost, take care of yourself. and pray a lot. hope all of this helps. :cool:

[xyndirit]

hi jpljon :wave:

FYI: i'm happily married!!! :) i'm just saying na it caught us off guard when i learned i was pregnant dahil nga im taking the pill.

n-e-wayz, yeah im doing the walkman thingie cause i believe it'll make my baby "grow smarter" (a lot of people still frowns at this theory). i don't care...:rolleyes:

it's good that you know these things (junkies 'n all that), a lot of dads are totally clueless with regards to pregnancy.

hmn..you're a good man... *okay*

[anwarlorenzo]

goodluck sa mga mothers and mothers to be :)


Peace :angel:

[:Þ]

Hey preggies!! congratulations on your baby!

As a dad, I know all the **** that you guys are going through :D well, lemme give you some tips here-- first of all, when you deliver, you will have to choose between three methods---epidural, regular anesthesia, or normal. but it depends on the hospital. Trust me, YOU DON'T WANT NORMAL. :D It's as painful as fck and can cause you to pass out. Epidural is painless and quick but some sort of plastic needle will be inserted between your backbone and will hurt like you've never felt before!!!! but after an hour it's gone. The "regular" anestesia aint good either because your baby will be snoring when he gets out. (not good)
So do yourself a favor and take the epidural. TAKE MY WORD FOR IT.

To future dad(s)--- get those credit cards ready! You'd be paying TONS of bills that you've never seen before in your entire life. Also, you might want to stack up some coffee in the brewer CAUSE YOU ARE NOT GONNA GET SOME SLEEP ANYTIME SOON.. :D I would enjoy sleeping as much as I can right now because when your baby freaks out--lol all hell will break loose. FUN. LOTS OF FUN. Been there, endured that ;)

and that's just the start of the fun!

Bet your husband has been getting some sleep all night eh? tell him he needs to enjoy it as much as he can. because when you have the baby, he better put some toothpicks between his eyelids because you will feed your baby every 2 hours. Yep. that means no sleep at all. FUN. LOTS OF FUN.

But you know what.. the best thing about having a baby is LOVE.. you know that feeling when you get home and he crawls to you with those eyes.... then suddenly you're not tired from work anymore! gotta love that feeling..


Good luck to you!

[:Þ]

Anyways,

This thread might help. I posted this up when my wife was just 4 months preggy...

http://www.pinoyexchange.com/forums/showthread.php3?s=&threadid=22090&highlight=sex

[:Þ]

ALSO---

1. when you claim him/her as a dependant, that means LESS tax to Uncle Sam.. how wonderful is that!!

2. You can now file jointly. well I don't know about next year but this year, those who files separately will get $300 while those who filed jointly will get $600. Gotta love Uncle sam!

3. But your insurance will kill you. (depends on your company and coverage) they will or they might include your baby. If they didn't, you will end up paying for his insurance.

4. Minor hospital bills--- although most of this will be covered by your insurance (if you have one), you will still pay the remainder. My hospital bill is $1500. we're paying it like what---$5 a month? :D

5. Gotta hit your local WalMart, Target, or Kmart and start looking for carseats, baby toys, clothings, etc

6. tip lang--- DON'T BUY HIM TOO MUCH DRESS!! He will end up growing and not wearing some of them. YES they DO grow FAST.

7. wach out when you're changing diapers--- watch out for those rashes because if they are left untreated, they can be really painful!!

ok i'm done typing. good luck and have fun with your baby!!! ;)

[:Þ]

Sorry but I can't agree with the headphone/walkman thingie. I believe that babies have thinner eardrums than of us adults--yes, even if played at a normal lever, the SPL(sound pressure level) is strong enough to possibly damage their eardrums at such a young age. (I read it from Parenting Magazine) ;)

But DO talk to your baby in a mild voice.


Damnit, I can't believe I know all these. Next thing that I should learn----cooking! :p

[xyndirit]

hey :Þ :wave:

thanks for the epidural note, i know for sure am getting that!!! (can't even stand blood tests!!!)
:D

it's a good thing UNCLE SAM is taking care of me! ang mahal pala ng doctor's visit dito no? and i go there every 3 weeks!! golly!!

hey i checked out your forum..hmn..obvious clueless ka before ha? we have no problem with that...
;)

question though: pano yung sinasabi nila na we can claim the baby when paying taxes? totoo ba yung makukuha din namin lahat ng nagastos?

salamat..

[avonlea]

avonlea super exciting nga yung last month of pregnancy! Your posts are taking me back to the time when I walked like a penguin and couldn't sleep on my watermelon-sized stomach :D

[avonlea]

tina11 >> i remember when i was about 5 months preggy, we were in the hospital for a check-up and i joked to my husband that the very pregnant women looked like penguins when they walk... kala ko i wouldn't be like them... mali pala ako :D

jovhelle >> overdue na ata baby mo?

cmars2 >> thanks... can't really wait to see the baby... pero pahinugin muna sa oven...

[tina11]

jovhelle: Sayang naman leave days ng asawa mo! I hope baby cooperates and comes out today or tomorrow :glee:

avonlea: Nahihirapan ka rin ba bumaba ng hagdan? I couldn't see my feet when I was 8-9 months pregnant because my tummy was so big. Tuloy, medyo pa-side ako maglakad pababa ng hagdan. :rotflmao:

[jovhelle]

[jovhelle]

[camgray]

Hello!
Congrats, jovhelle! Good for you, hindi ka nahirapan! WTG! *okay*
I'm due mid july, but my OB said pwede na ko by end of june!! I'm excited at the same time natatakot.. Kasi i'll be getting a ligation na rin.. I'm afraid of the epidural, pag tinusok na likod ko..
Boy ang baby ko.. He is so likot, always kicking and moving.. PAcMAn siguro to paglaki, sakit ng mga sipa and suntok nya, esp sumisiksik pa sa ribs..
And di na rin ko masyado nakakatulog..I would watch tv till 1am kasi nun lang ko aantukin.. and then by 5am gising na, pag nafefeel kong nawiwiwi ko.. I'd try to go back to sleep.. but then, i'd think of all the things na di ko pa nabili for baby...:hmm: pano ko i-aarrange yung room..:hmm: Di ko pa nalabhan mga clothes ni baby!... :hmm: Ano kaya baon ng daughter ko tomorrow?...:hmm: haaaay.... Tapos, before i know it, maliwanag na, at time to get up na talaga!
Nice to have this thread for us moms in waiting.. it gets so boring sometimes just waiting for the big day to come.. Hope to hear more from other mommies due soon!

[tina11]

Congrats mommy jovhelle! :cheers: What did you name your new baby boy? :love:

camgray if you'll be getting ligated, will you be moved to an operating room or will it be done right in the delivery room? Curious lang ako :) I think normal lang yung maraming iniisip pag buntis! How old is your daughter?

[Ellheym]

hello mga mommies.. i'm on my 16th week, my first baby. narinig ko na ang heartbeat ni baby at nagpaultrasound ako nong 12th week pa lang ako nakita ko na siyang gumalaw. :) ngayon parang may nafefeel na akong butterflies or bubbles in my tummy, yon yong very slight movement niya. i can't wait to feel the real kicks.. :D

My EDD will be this coming November pa. ;)

[camgray]

Tina: I think after delivery, i will be transferred to the OR for ligation. I'm choosing epidural for anesthetic, so i'd be fully awake. tawag nila continuous epidural, they will give the anesthetic in series thru a spinal catheter para di mag wear off yung pain relief from the time i'm nearly ready (6-8cm? i'm not sure) to deliver till the ligation procedure.. the other option is sedated (ayoko nun)... My eldest daughter is 8 going 9.. my 2nd daughter will be 5y/o this month.. Baka daw magka bday pa sila ng baby boy ko! :)

Congrats Ellheym! Wish u a great first pregnancy!

[jovhelle]

thanx ha...

Camgray; ako anesthetic *** pero numb ****. . . dinaganan na ko ng 2 nurses pero deadma *** ako basta ire. . . hehehe. . 1st baby ko kc and plan **** nmin na 5yrs ang pagitan besides 19 y.0 p *** nmn ako. . .

[kittykittylala]

2 nurses na ang dumagan sayu?!?!?!:eek:

Natakot naman ako... im due on mid sept pa, pero sobrang kabado na ako.

[jovhelle]

yup gurl at boy. . . . hehehehe. . .

kc dpat CS na ko kc overdue na ako and *** baby ko eh nkainom na ng poops so ngmamadali na *** OB ko na ilabas *** baby para hindi mastressed. mga 15-20mins *** ako umire at lumabas na ang baby ko. mejo kulubot na cia ant mahahaba na ang fingernails.... 7.5lbs. . . natakot ako sa CS so gnwa ko ang lahat para mainormal cia. . .

[camgray]

johvelle: curious lang ako.. where ka nanganak and how much did u spend? *** anesthetic na you mentioned, is it epidural or local (vaginal area)? Buti nalang hindi ka cs..

[kittykittylala]

OMG!!! balbash!

Sana aku din 15-20mins tapos na!! may technique ba sa breathing pag ire? :D

[jovhelle]

inhale - exhale na may power. . . turo lang sa akin ng mama ko un in last minutes ng labor ko. . . sa labor *** **** ako sumuko. . . pahirap **** ang labor skin. . 18hrs ako nglabor eh. . .

[kittykittylala]

:eek: lalu na ako natakot! ahihihihi salamat sa advise ah! :D

[Ellheym]

^ wow grabe ngayon pa lang hindi ko maimagine kung papano ako manganganak. sa kwento niyo pa lang natakot na ako. bakit yong iba sobrang relax manganak?

[kittykittylala]

uu nga, parang pwede bang ganito na lang ako forever?!?! kasu talagang kailangan lumabas ang bebe eh! haaaay!

[avonlea]

iba-iba talaga ang labor ano? kasi karaniwan ng nababasa ko for FTMs eh 12 hours usually ang labor... in my case, it only took 1 hour and 20 minutes from the time the doctor broke my water till the baby came out... mga 30 minutes lang yung sobrang sakit na contraction until the time na ready na to push the baby out...

kaya ninyo 'yan... hindi ko nga maimagine yung mga nanay noong unang panahon kung paano nila natiis ang labor ng walang gamot...

[jovhelle]

camgray : ** sa cavite. . sa our lady of pillars sa imus. we spent 27,000 at ward ako dahil special case ako dahil overdue at nkainom na ng poops ang baby ko sa loob ng tummy ko.pag normal case *** eh 17,000. muntik na ako ma-CS pero buti n kinaya ko sa pag-ire.....

anesthetic? hmmmm... di ko lam eh. di ko na naisip un dahil masakit ang mglabor.

[sweetwahm]

hey preggy mommies :wave:

anyway, share ko lang... when i was still about 4 or 5 months preg, hubby and i heard baby's first heartbeat. i swear, that was one of the best moments ever! i told my husband that i never ever wanna forget that moment. Ever. Even when I'm old and wrinkled. :love:

Enjoy your pregnancies!

[kittykittylala]

mga mommies... is it natural na while your walking tumitigas ang tummy? 6th month ko pa lang... may time kasi ang tigas na nya tapos parang baba na si baby? kaya while walking hawak hawak ko tuloy tyan ko feeling ng mga pipol na nakakakita sa akin manganganak na ako. kailangan ko ba ma alarm?

[camgray]

Hi! By this time na near 3rd trimester ka na, you will start having Braxton-Hicks contractions.. Practice contractions yan, it's the normal way of the uterus of getting ready for the real thing when the big day comes. As long as the contractions are not strong and painful, it's okay, no need to be alarmed.. Medyo you will feel a bit of discomfort pag BH contractions, but it should not be painful.. If it does get painful and too frequent (as in sunod sunod, with pain), you should call your OB.. Hth.

[kittykittylala]

ahhh ganun pala un! thanks camgray!

kaka nerbyos *** ganun na feeling lalu na magisa lang ako nun. :D

[girl_pampanga]

hello fellow buntis na mommies :)....

can you please give me an idea magkano manganak if normal or ceasarian section sa mga private hospitals....say approximately lang....kung normal, magkano painless....9 years ago kasi cs ako eh mura pa nun 35k lang yata binayad namin...5 days stay in hospital...

tnx,

gp :bashful:

[Ellheym]

^ hi andon po yong price ng different hospitals sa topic na how much manganak. :)

[sweetwahm]

If you can, and if your doctor permits, do some safe-for-pregnancy exercises. Walking is low impact and can do wonders. I credit it to my speedy labor:

I endured about 30 hours of pre labor pains which really hurt but was manageable and I was in active labor for only 11 minutes. I started pushing at 4pm and my son was born at 4:11pm. Considering this is my first child, even I was amazed at how fast it all went.

Dong a lot of Kegels during pregnancy and after giving birth also helped big time.

[kittykittylala]

I recently had my pre natal check up... I mentioned sa OB ko about sa contraction too early pa daw and sobrang liit pa daw tyan ko for contraction. Ayun binigyan na ako ng pampakapit, if not effective belly support na daw ako. haaaay!! Nagworry tuloy si mother in law :D

Now, im doing kegel exercise medyo di pa ako sanay. ahihihi (shy) nakikiliti ako ahihihi!

[sweetwahm]

hehe, the good thing about kegels is you can do it anytime, anywhere, without anyone ever knowing. :D Just keep doing them, masasanay ka rin.

malamang di nga pwede sa yo ang exercise kahit light pa, so i guess you should take it easy, kittykittylala

[camgray]

Hi Kitty.. that's good u told your OB.. so you'll have to take it easy then..

Oo, i heard kegels does great wonders in preparing for birth.. Pero i always forget to do it.. thanks for reminding me.. :))

[Ellheym]

just today mas na feel ko na ang movement ni baby. i'm on my 17th week. ang sarap ng feeling kapag gumagalaw siya.. nafeel na din ng hubby ko. tuwang tuwa siya.

[camgray]

just today mas na feel ko na ang movement ni baby. i'm on my 17th week. ang sarap ng feeling kapag gumagalaw siya.. nafeel na din ng hubby ko. tuwang tuwa siya.

Feels so good no? ;) Is this your first baby? Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.. Sobrang bilis lang nyan.. Parang kelan lang when we found out (surprise!!! unplanned kasi, hehe).. :D

[dalee]

ask ko lang kung ano yung bloody show, dun ba malalaman kung malapit ka na maglabor? ano yun, parang mentruation or spotting? ano yung naramdaman nyo before having contraction na sunod sunod talaga na every 5 minutes apart?

[camgray]

Dalee: Yung bloody show is like secretion na medyo madami. For me, it looked like sipon na may halong blood (brownish/reddish color), not bright red as in fresh.. At that time, may konting cramping lang ako nafeel.. The painful contractions came about 2 hours after the bloody show. But that was during my first baby.. Nag labor ako for 21 hours! Women differ so it may be different for you. Best thing to do when your mucus plug (bloody show) comes off, call your OB agad. She will tell u what to do. How far along are you anyway? :)

[purpleheadd07]

dalee: wa ako bloody show, or baka nung nsa delivery room na ko d ko kse tinitingnan. yung contractions parang tumitigas yung tyan mo, dpat i time mo yan. pag about every 5 mins sya, yes medyo rhythmic sya, that means malapit ng lumabas.

[dalee]

thanks camgray ang purplehead. 36 weeks na ko mahigit, di ba pag37 full term na, naglalakad na ko pero parang di pa din mababa yung tyan ko.

[purpleheadd07]

i believe it's 40. was on my 38 when i gave birth, d pa gaanong mbaba tummy ko that time. hang on, lalabas yan in due time. ;)

[DaNa8]

I think 38-40 weeks is full term. Before that is pre-term and after that is overdue. You may give birth any time between that period.

[Ellheym]

Feels so good no? ;) Is this your first baby? Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.. Sobrang bilis lang nyan.. Parang kelan lang when we found out (surprise!!! unplanned kasi, hehe).. :D

yes first baby ko.. kaya sobrang excited kami ni hubby.

wow.. *** din pala ha.. :) ingat ka din palagi.. :)

[camgray]

Dalee: PAreho tayo, i'm on my 36th week rin.. I went for my checkup kanina. My Ob said baby is head down and nakasiksik na, ready to be out soon! She even gave me admission orders na, just in case baby decides to come early! Let's hang in there! san ka manganganak?

Ellheym: not my first baby.. 3rd na! :)

I've read that 38-40wks are considered full-term. But if you deliver around the 37th week, it's already considered full-term. My 2nd baby came at 37w/5d, considered full term na. ;) She was healthy but small at only 1.9kg (a little over 4lbs!)..

[dalee]

camgray, 4lbs mahigit? e di mabilis lang yung labor/delivery mo? sabi kasi mahirap daw pagmalaki si baby, last check-up ko estimate na ni OB nasa 6lbs na daw mahigit kaya kontian ko daw ang kain hehehehe di pa ko nakakapagdecide kung saang hospital, st clare saka sa medical center manila yung OB ko, meron din syang lying-in clinic. tapos gusto ko din magpapelvic xray, ang dami ko kasi kilala na naCS tapos ang sabi maliit daw yung pelvic bone pero parang di routine yun kay OB... natatakot ako na maglabor ng matagal tapos sasabihin lang di kasya si baby sa pelvic bone. ask din ako ni hubby kung kelan sya dapat umuwi(work sya abroad), di ko naman matantya... hay! grabeh...sorry haba na ng post ko.

[Ellheym]

camgray: 4 lbs.. ang liit.. siguro hindi ka nahirapan nong nanganak ka.

o nga pala paano pala malalaman kung maliit ang pelvic bone? kasi yon din sabi ng ob ko na may posibilidad daw maCS kung pagdating na ng labor time hindi daw bubuka o kaya yong pelvic bone makitid. paano ba yon malaman? pwede ba yon malaman kung tingnan lang physically yong buntis?

[camgray]

Hi dalee and Ellheym: Yup, di ako nahirapan sa labor--2 hours lang from the time nag break bag of waters ko sa house til lumabas si baby sa DR ng hosp!! She was small kasi may pre-ecplamsia ako. Good thing di ako na CS, ksi mabilis ang labor ko. Otherwise,siguradong CS na coz of pre-ec. Kakaawa nga when i saw my bby, sooo tiny and skinny. Pero she was healthy, & bilis nya lumaki..BUmawi! :)
Pwede nga kayo request for pelvimetry (xray of pelvis) sa OB nyo.. May friend ko, laki ng hips nya, pero di nya pala kayang mag normal, which they only found out sa xray. so yun, cs sya..

[cmars2]

Ellheym merong type ng ultrasound na yung pelvic bone yung tinitingnan. :) I did not undergo through that kaya nag emergency CS na ako kasi late na nang nalaman na maliit yung pelvic bone ko and nagkaron ng cervical arrest in dilation ata... basta di na nag open yung cervix ko.. Lahi lahi ata yan eh. kasi yung mga cousins ko ganun din, hanggang 2cm lang sila.

[Ellheym]

mars: thanks for that info. kung lahi lahi yan siguro hindi ako ganyan kasi wala pa akong nabalitaan sa lahi namin na nahirapan manganak dahil makitid ang pelvic. ang bilis nga nilang manganak eh. :glee:

[kittykittylala]

^^ Nyay!!!! Natakot tuloy ako lalu ayaw ko ma CS tagal makarecover and plus sakit pa sa bulsa. Aku nga 2lbs pa lang si bebe 6 months nagagalit pa si hubby palakihin ko daw anak nya. Ako naman umaayaw kasi mahirap ilabas pag malaki na. Sana lahat tayu mga soon to be mommies mabilis manganak... :D

[dalee]

ask ko si OB about pelvic xray, di nya daw yun nirerecomend, nung 80s daw pinapagawa nya pero may studies ata nagyon na me effect yun kay baby, di ko nga ganong naintindihan, siguro kasi xray pa din yun.

[camgray]

Hi dalee! Di ko alam yun ah.. 9 yrs ago when i gave birth sa 1st ko, ginawa sa kin yung xray.. Yikes!
Anyway, musta countdown mo? ako so bored na.. My legs and hands are swollen.. mahirap igalaw in the mornings.. And lately i've been so sleepy the whole day. hehe..
Kwento ko lang pala: when i went for my checkup last monday, the lady before me was already 3cms dilated and 100% effaced! As in manganganak na sya any monument, hehe, e wala sya nafeel man lang.. buti nalang nsa hsopital na sya.. I guess she went straight to the DR na..

[ate germs]

hi guys! im on my 34th week na! yahoo! kso problem ko ngayon, madalas ako magLBM! may nakakaexperience ba sa inyo nito? my ob advised me to drink gatorade and eat bananas lang. hay grabe.

[DaNa8]

^^^
Hehe, medyo kakaiba ka. Madalas naman kasi ko maconstipate nung buntis pero natural yun pag buntis ka e. Di kaya may nakain ka na di maganda?

[dalee]

hi camgray, ako din inip na, mukhang matagal pa ata ako, wala pang mga signs na malapit na e, sabi ni OB mataas pa, di pa nga nya ko binibigyan ng admision slip ba yun for the hospital e, pero di ko na din tinanong, siguro naman alam nya kung kelan nya bibigay sa kin yun. yung contractions ko parang ganun pa din, di ba pagmalapit na daw mas madalas na yng braxton hicks, di ko tuloy alam kung manhid lang ako hehehehe
about dun sa girl na nakita mo, siguro madali lang sya manganak kung fully effaced at 3cm dilated na sya? pray talaga ko na wag naman pahirapan masyado yung panganganak ko =) ingats pati na din sa mga ibang preggy moms.

[avonlea]

^^^ ay oo noong middle ng third trimester ko eh madalas din ako magLBM... sa book na Pregnancy, Childbirth and the Newborn, eh pre-labor sign daw...

^ i was 3 cm dilated for 5 weeks before i was induced... so noong na-induced ako eh 5cm dilated na ako at one hour lang ako nag-labor...

[cmars2]

hi guys! im on my 34th week na! yahoo! kso problem ko ngayon, madalas ako magLBM! may nakakaexperience ba sa inyo nito? my ob advised me to drink gatorade and eat bananas lang. hay grabe.
Nag LBM din ako during my second trimester. Pina-test pa nga yung poop ko for amoeba pero negative naman. Inom ka lang hydrite para di ma drain electrolytes mo. Kasi yung OB ko dati, instructions nya lang kung gaano kadami poop mo ganun din kadaming hydrite inumin mo. Tiisin mo lang ang pakla, it's for you and your baby na rin.

[camgray]

Hi preggy mommies!

Ate germs: ingat lang sa dehydration, gaya ng sabi ng iba dito.. plenty of fluids!
Ako naman, constipation din problem ko.. WOrried tuloy ako kasi after delivery, yung first pupu ako natatakot.. baka mag tear ang episiotomy ko!:eek: Yikes! I'm eating na nga lots of bananas (lakatan) and veggies, pati prunes.. pero not so effective pa rin..
Dalee: Mataas pa din tummy ko, altho head down na daw si baby. Do you work? ako stay at home kaya nililibang ko sarili ko dito sa internet at sa pag tututor ng kids pag uwi from school.. :)

[DaNa8]

^^^
Nakakatakot din yang episiotomy. Routine na ba yan pag nanganak ka ng normal? Madali bang gumaling yung sugat nun compared to the CS cut or parehas lang?

[camgray]

^Hi Dana- Dito sa Pinas, routine nga yata.. kainis no? Like with my 2nd baby, she was so tiny (1.9kg) i'm sure i did not need the episiotomy at all! But my OB wasn't there yet (sa sobrang bilis ko nanganak, sya nalang nag close ng episiotomy), so the residents just went ahead and cut me! I dont know how epi compares to CS sa healing.. Mga 7-10 days ata ang healing ko.. I guess since smaller and mas superficial ang cut ng epi than CS, mas madali ang healing din.. and hindi naman kumikirot pag maginaw, unlike sa CS daw.. hehehe.. (imagine, kumikirot DUN! ouch! :lol:)

[ate germs]

hi mga mommies! salamat sa mga sumagot tungkol sa LBM hehehe... ngayon oks na ko. intermittent ang pag-LBM ko e. naku nagpe-prelabor na pala ako? hehehe.... pero inip na din talaga ako e. gusto ko na sya lumabas! hehehe....

camgray, pareho tayong stay at home! pero inip na ko! gusto ko ng may ginagawa! ehehhee...

[dalee]

camgray, ate germs, pareparehas pala tayong stay at home kaya naiinip na sa paglabas ni baby hehehehe ako din internet lang palagi saka lakad sa mall, ewan ko ba bakit di pa din bumababa tyan ko e halos araw araw na nga ako sa mall... basta sabi ni OB bababa din daw in due time, kelan kaya yun? hehehehe 37th week ko na nung thursday, full term na daw. lalo ko tuloy iniisip yung panganganak... pati gastos =)

[kittykittylala]

mga soon to be mommies.... lapit na kayu! the moment of truth! :D nakanood ba kayu nung movie pano manganak? title nun " the joy of the new born".

[Ellheym]

wow mukhang naiinip na kayo mga mommies.. ako naman 18th weeks pa lang medyo kinakabahan na kasi start na talagang bumibigat ang tummy ko. stay at home din ako at wala talaga akong pwedeng gawin kundi mag internet at manood ng tv. grabeee nakakainip dito sa bahay. minsan lang ako lumabas kasi hindi ko maintindihan ang panahon, biglang uminit at uulan, baka magkasakit ako. mahirap pa naman magkasakit kapag buntis kasi bawal yong gamot.

kittykittylala: hindi ko pa yan napanood.. meron lang akong nabili yong from Discovery channel na cd title is BODY ATLAS: IN THE WOMB nakita ko din kung papano manganak. kakatakot pero alam ko dadating din akong stage na yan.

[kittykittylala]

Ako working, so everyone in the office saw me in my hardest time lalu na nung first trimester ko. ANg hirap lang pagworking kapag mag commute tapos wala kang kasama or kasabay. Dito naman sa opis petiks lang din ang trabaho so unlimited internet din. :D naging sakitin din ako nung 1st trim ko ubo ako ng ubo for a month kaya sobrang dami kong vitamins na iniinum that time. kakaworry *** ganun kung ano ano iniinum na gamot.

Ellheym: Kakatakot manood ng ganun no? as in *** nakita ko focus talaga paglabas ng baby. kaya ngayon pa lang na iimgaine ko na *** scenario pag ako na manganganak. :D

[cmars2]

aynako advice ko sa inyo, wag kayo manood ng mga nanganganak na nasa vcd dvd. :lol: talagang matatakot kayo. ako nga before pinanood ko yung cd na binigay ng cousin ko, di ko tinapos kasi natatakot ako. :bungi:

[DaNa8]

(imagine, kumikirot DUN! ouch! :lol:)

Thanks for the reply. Yup, kumikirot nga minsan yung wound pag maginaw.

Re birting videos, I haven't watched one pa pero naalala ko tuloy yung episode nung Friends na napagpalit nila yung birthing video sa porn. Hehe :rotflmao:

[sneezy]

^Can you not include in your birth plan for the docs not to perform an episiotomy?

[kittykittylala]

Kaya nga kapag ask ako ng people kung excited na daw ako manganak lagi sagot ko hindi, natatakot ako sa mararamdaman ko. Naiisip ko baka pagdating ko pa lang sa hospital humihingi na ako ng epidural.:rotflmao: :bop:

http://www.snugglepie.com/ezb/526901.png (http://www.snugglepie.com)

[jovhelle]

^^^^

wag ka matakot... pag asa point ka na ng panganganak di mo cia mxiado mararamdaman kc ang nsa isip mo eh lumabas na agad cia.... dont worry to much, the best way is mgpray ka habang nglalabor...

[camgray]

Good morning soon-to-be-moms!

sneezy: I guess you can inform your OB about your choice on episiotomy. Uso ba birthing plan dito pinas? hehe.. i've never written one, although my OB and i always discuss what i want done.. she always asks naman.
Re: birthing videos- I watched an episode about pregnancy and birthing on Discovery Channel. Pinanood ko with my kids! Natakot ang eldest daughter ko.. sabi nya "why was i born a girl??! ayokong manganak!" hahaha :lol:

Kitty: cute ng signature mo! :) Para mas prepared ka and di masyado kabahan, ngayon palang read on relaxation and breathing techniques. Meron articles sa www.pregnancy-info.net (http://www.pregnancy-info.net).
dalee, ate germs: ikot-ikot lang tayo dito Pex.. hehe.. bumaba na si baby, hirap na ko sitting down kasi mga bilbil ko naka siksik na between my legs pag umuupo! :lol: I noticed this the other day lang.. And i'm always peeing na, halos every hour.. and whenever i sneeze/laugh, nagleleak weewee ko! :lol:

[DaNa8]

^Can you not include in your birth plan for the docs not to perform an episiotomy?

Di ko po alam. Once pa lang ako nanganak at CS pa and I didn't have a birth plan. Maybe the other mommies here can answer that.

[dalee]

paano kung me UTI ka tapos malapit ka na manganak? mahahawa ba si baby?

[sneezy]

^when you have UTI and you're near your due date, i think you have the option of having a penicillin drip while you're in labor because of the possibility that you may have group B strep. group B strep, while it is generally not harmful to an adult may be harmful to the baby. maybe you can have yourself tested for group B strep?

[purpleheadd07]

^^ your OB will give you a safe antibiotic for your UTI para d mahawa si baby.

kaya mo din kaya wag magpa episiotomy? an aunt of mine saw how my cousin in law gave birth at home and did not have an episiotomy at all, as in d daw makita yung v*gina paglabas ng head ng baby at hinayaan na *** daw mag hang yun after. so wala ng repair or ayos uli pag nagkataon. a friend of mine told her doc who sew her up to make it maganda pa din at medyo masikip na uli hehehe....

[dalee]

sneezy, what is a group B strep?

[sneezy]

^dalee, here's a link about group B strep,
http://www.dhpe.org/infect/strepb.html

[dalee]

thanks! had my urine culture yesterday, results on friday =( hope its fine...i'm really worried.
i'll also ask the groupB strep to my OB on my next check-up.

[sneezy]

group B strep is done via vaginal (i'm not sure if anal din) swab. don't worry about it. it seems like you're on top of things naman. im sure you're in good hands.

[girl_pampanga]

when I had my first baby, nagka UTI ako during pregnancy. I took some medicine siguro for a while lang kasi takot ako baka mapano anak ko sa tummy ko......what I did ....i drink FRESH BUKO JUICE twice a day tapos nawala na lang UTI ko :)

Now, preggy ulit ako...I make sure that I eat fruits and veggies....taking away those food with too much food colouring, salty and treated....iwasan lahat yun...now im on my 5th month...maayos naman...and every weekend....ang pinaka tubig ko lang is BUKO JUICE fresh from the tree wag yung lata ha?

Dicipline lang talaga.....:)

[girl_pampanga]

tanong lang po....kasi parang nanganganay ako...since baby went on 3rd month till now 5th month.....grabe magalaw...super galaw lalo na ngayon...nakakatuwa nga parang 1st baby ko kasi 9 yrs pagitan nito....

may chance kaya akong mag-normal...kasi CS ako noon although I dont have probs...malakas naman loob ko....kasi kung normal I dont want the doctor to use forceps sa ulo ng anak ko.....kahit mahal siguro CS...yun na lang kasi mailalabas ang baby ng maayos di bale ako mahirapan huwag lang baby ko:depressed: ....

question lang po.....ok lang bang magpatali ng maaga like me im 33 years old....wala bang side effect yun? :confused:

[kittykittylala]

mommies... im sick today mukhang trangkaso ito super bilis kong nahawa kaya eto nakakaubos na ako ng rolls of toilet paper at drum drum ng calamansi juice and grabe din ubo ko. sabi ng OB paracetamol lang pwede ko inumin para mawala fever ko. Ang prob ko *** cough /colds ko nahihirapan na ako umubo kasi feeling ko force down si baby tapos di din *** magalaw dahil ***** nahihilo na *** sa kakaubo ko. hassle din sa akin kasi na wewee din ako. :(

any advice para mabilis ako magrecover sa colds and cough ko.

[sneezy]

[pinkyblush]

hi, to all preggy mommies and mommies to be! i'm still on my 2nd month (first baby) and was about to see my OB for my second check-up this coming week. id like to ask po sana about what to expect during this second checkup? i didnt undergo for an ultrasound last time during my 1st month (1st checkup), my OB just used the doppler for the heartbeat of my baby, prescribed me vitamins para daw sa baby and gave me tips and advices na rin.

Thanks much in advance for your tips and advices.

Goodluck to all mommies!

[camgray]

hello preggy mommies!

kittykittylala, pareho tayo..nakakaweewee ako every time i sneeze/cough! haha! My cough so productive but i dont want to take any meds.. it's the bad weather na pabago-bago.. Just plenty of water and juices, and i also take vit C 500mg tabs 2x a day. Hindi ko sinasabay *** two tabs kasi ma eexcrete din lang sa urine yung excess. So i take one in the am, and 1 at night.. of course, get plenty of rest.. kung pwede, mag leave ka muna from work.

dalee, i hope your urine culture comes back okay. Any signs yet na malapit ka na? ako......:hmm: .........tagal talga, hehehe..

girl_pampanga, yup, buko juice is the wonder juice! I've had history din ng kidney stones and recurrent UTI.. Dapat alaga sa buko juice.. it's good for the kidneys.. scietifically proven na yan.

[dalee]

thanks...

camgray, la pang signs na malapit na ko...niloloko na nga ako dito sa bahay, ang taas pa daw ng tyan ko, baka daw lumagpas ako sa due date ko =( wag naman sana =) excited na ko...sana malapit na

[kittykittylala]

camgray - kaya ginagawa ko when i sneeze/cough yumuyuko ako para hindi ako maweewee. :D kakahassle nu? i take kasi 500mg of vit. c lang gawin ko ng 2x a day. Sakit na ilong ko kakapahid ng tissue i cant laugh din kasi ang kati kati ng lalamunan ko may tendency na mag cough ako.

[smilette]

i know this has been discussed here before, pero tanong ko lang uli, pinagbabawal ba talagang maligo ang bagong panganak?

i know in the US that they normally have the mother take a shower afterwards. dito din ba sa atin?

i keep on hearing this mga "pamanhiin" re showering or taking a bath? may basis ba to?

[DaNa8]

^^^
I didn't bathe after giving birth. Ayaw din kasi ko payagan ng mom ko, baka mabinat daw. CS pa naman ako. I guess wala naman mawawala kung sumunod ka sa pamahiin.

[avonlea]

^^ sabi ng nanay ko hindi naman daw bawal, basta warm water ang gamit... anim ang anak niya at home delivery lahat... ako, i took a shower noong nakauwi na ako, which was 49 hours after giving birth...

[tina11]

I took a shower about 3 hours after giving birth. The nurse told me to do so. Wala naman sinabi yung mom ko so I guess she thought it was ok.

[mulberry_me]

Ako din, First thing I did when I woke up from giving birth was to brush my teeth then take a bath with warm water. Nanginginig pa mga paa ko nun.

[cmars2]

^^
CS din ako but my OB told me na pwede na akong maligo kasi maganda daw yung nilagay nya sa operation scar ko.
Yun nga lang, nung naligo ako, my mom freaked out! :lol:

[camgray]

^^i never followed this pamahiin.. DI ko kasi matiis! Pero i guess there is some truth to it.. My mom had 7 of us, all by normal birth, and wala syang kahirap hirap sa pregnancy and delivery.. Kasi daw hindi sya nabibinat..Ako naman, nabinat daw sa 1st baby, so sa 2nd and 3rd babies ko, madami na talaga akong aches and pains na nafeel.

Anyway, update po: i went to see my OB this afternoon. I'm 3cm dilated na! But the cervix hasn't thinned yet.. kaya i will wait for 2-3days pa daw before baby comes.. Yehey! can't wait to see my boy! Funny thing, i didn't feel anything to give me a clue na dilated na *** cervix ko.. hehe..right now, i have irregular contractions-very short and not very painful, and very far apart.. *** matagal pa nga eto.. :)

[tina11]

Yay, good news camgray! Won't be long now...

Yeah right, after my water broke an hour felt like an eternity to me :bonkself:

[kittykittylala]

camgray uy! manganganak ka na!!! balitaan mo kami agad ah! :D

[kittykittylala]

^^^ Meron pa ngang pamahiin, after daw manganak wag daw magsasalita kasi lalaki daw tyan?? is this true??

[camgray]

hello there kitty and tina! i'm still here at home.. still waiting.. i plan to go out later and walk and walk! Para if i give bith tomorrow, tamang tama walang work si hubby! :)

[DaNa8]

^^^ Meron pa ngang pamahiin, after daw manganak wag daw magsasalita kasi lalaki daw tyan?? is this true??

Exagg naman ata yun. :)

[cmars2]

kittykittylala...
ang alam ko, yung naoperahan yung bawal muna magsalita after kasi malalagyan ng hangin ang tiyan, may tendency na mag fart ka, eh ang hirap mag fart pag bagong opera ka. :bungi:

[kittykittylala]

cmars2 ganun ba un?! ang hirap pala talagang ma CS. kahit na excited ka na magsalita after mong mahirapan di pala pwede. :bop:

camgray anu na balita sayu? nanganak na ikaw? :bashful:

[sweetwahm]

hey mommies :wave: musta kayo? anybody given birth yet? update us about your beautiful bundles of joy! :bounce:

[camgray]

Hello mommies! Eto pa rin ako.. still at home, although been 3cm dilated since friday, wala akong contractions.. Should i get worried? I've never experienced this before sa 2 kids ko.. May danger ba na ma induce or ma CS? Anyone else ever experienced this? I'm 38w/2d.
Haayy.. Nakikisama ata si baby, kasi nag aantay pa kaming dumating *** new yaya.. hehe.. :)
Si dalee kaya nanganak na? Parnag absent na sya dito e.. :)

[DaNa8]

cmars2 ganun ba un?! ang hirap pala talagang ma CS. kahit na excited ka na magsalita after mong mahirapan di pala pwede. :bop:

camgray anu na balita sayu? nanganak na ikaw? :bashful:

I gave birth through CS pero wala naman nagsabi saken na bawal magsalita pag tapos ng operation. I can't remember though kung nagsalita ako agad. Sobrang groggy pa ko after kasi I was wide awake when they cut me up hanggang sa pag labas ng bebi ko.

[cmars2]

Di naman talaga siguro pinagbabawala ang magsalita talaga. Pinaiiwas lang siguro. After rin nga ng operation ko, andami kong kausap sa phone kasi andaming calls pero pinigilan ako ng mom ko kasi nga raw kakabagan daw ako. Emergency op kasi ako kaya mga gabi na ako nakalabas ng operating room. Lam nyo naman pag gabi, maginaw. And prone ako sa kabag kaya pinagbawalan. Ewan ko kung naging groggy ba ako, super hyper kasi ako agad.:lol:

[kittykittylala]

Mommy camgray... pumunta ka na sa hospital!! baka naman sobrang tagal ka na nyan!:bop:

[ate germs]

hi mommies! ako mag36 wks na ngayong thursday hehehe... bukas nga mahaba ang lalakarin ko ksi lilibutin namin ang mall of asia at itatry ang imax para sa superman hehehee... sana di mabingi si baby ahihihihi.. sabi naman ni ob ko e oks lang naman daw yun. can't wait to give birth na!

[cmars2]

^
uy goodluck! 4 more weeks!

[camgray]

Mommy camgray... pumunta ka na sa hospital!! baka naman sobrang tagal ka na nyan!:bop:

Hello! i called na nga my OB to ask kung makatarungan pa ba tong nangyayari sa kin :D She said it's possible for 2nd-time-or-more moms to be dilated for a week or even 2! Basta daw the baby has good movement, and i'm not yet overdue, okay lang daw. Kita nalang daw ulit kami sa Friday kung di parin ko nanganak by then.. Di pa naman ko overdue.. hehe.. inip and atat lang.. :)

[kittykittylala]

Mommy camgray... buti naman okei ikaw :D di bale friday na bukas!!! :D

naalala ko tuloy when i was preggy, yung da vinci code ang huli kong napanood sa sine on my 36th wk din

[camgray]

Hello moms! Just want to let you all know i finally had my baby boy last Thursday, July 6th at 2:49pm. Nathan is very healthy at 6lbs and 48cm. I'll post pics later.. :) Di naman ako masyado nahirapan.. I had painless delivery (although i wanted to be awake[epidural], the anesth instead gave me something else that knocked me out!).. So i was asleep during the actual delivering of my baby. :( Sayang nga, i would have preferred to see him and hear him first thing before i got knocked out.. Anyway, at least alam ko na ang painless delivery, hehe.. PainFUL del kasi yung 1st 2 kids ko.. Thanks for all the support here at pex! I appreciate it! :love:

Hi mommies and moms-to-be! I'm on my 36th week of pregnancy and I have a bad cough! What can I do? It's so difficult to cough feeling ko baka bigla akong manganak ng di oras! May naka-experience na ba dito magkaroon ng cough during pregnancy? Help...

[camgray]

Thanks for the congrats greetings, mommies! :)

viange: welcome to the thread!

fatbig: i had a very bad cough on my 37th week.. hirap pa nyan, everytime i sneezed or coughed my weewee leaked! sobrang hassle.. my ob prescribed me mucosolvan tabs and antibiotics (safe naman daw since 3rd trim na and almost term na ko that time).. To be sure ask your OB nalang.. Concern ng OB ko ksi was if at anytime manganak ako, i cannot take care of the baby with a bad cough. baka mahawa si baby.

[camgray]

^pahabol lang: i wore napkin pala para di hassle to change undies everytime my weewee leaked.. hehe.. advise ng ob ko. ;)

Hi camgray! Thanks for the advice and congratulations on your new baby!!! Come to think of it buti na lang ngayon na ako nagkaroon ng cough and not during my first trimester when I had threatened abortion. I remember kasi I was constipated then and I tried to "force the issue" as in! Yun nag-bleed ako. So I can just imagine having a bad cough then could have put pressure on my stomach/ abdomen. So blessing na rin. Right now I'm drinking lots and lots of water. But I will call my OB for medicines. Thanks!! :)

[cmars2]

^^ fatbig: i also had a threatened abortion during the first and second trimester of my pregnancy and i also had a BAD cough. My OB injected some pampakapit and gave me vitamins. I forgot nga lang kung paano nawala yung cough ko. :glee:

[smilette]

hello mga mommies and mommies to be!! :wave:

baka pedeng may mag-clarify lang po... when they estimate your due date, let's say august 1... does august 1 signify the end or the start of your 40th week?

thanks! :flwrface:

[sneezy]

^I think it's the end of your 40th week.
Or at least that's how we counted with my pregnancy.

[pinkyblush]

hi, mommies!1'm on my 13 weeks now. just want to ask bout your vitamins prescribed by your OB, during your 1st-3months of pregnancy, did you have the same kind of vitamins?

anybody can help me? thanks much.

[kittykittylala]

mommie fatbig... i found in one of preggy website about medicines for cough and colds for 3rd trimester

Coughs and colds

* Cough and cold remedies often contain a combination of several ingredients, including painkillers, antihistamines and decongestants (see above), so it is important to make sure that each ingredient is safe before taking them. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicines during pregnancy.

* The cough expectorant guaifenesin to help loosen a chesty cough can be used, though drinking lots of water is just as effective for this. You could also try using steam inhalations to help liquify mucus and make it easier to cough up. Cough medicines containing iodine as an expectorant should be avoided, as the iodine can impair the functioning of the baby's thyroid gland.

* The cough suppressant dextromethorphan has been in widespread use and is generally considered safe to use during pregnancy, providing it is only taken for short periods of time and using the smallest dose possible. However, it is probably best to avoid it in the first trimester. Cough suppressants containing codeine should be avoided in the third trimester.

* Soothing cough mixtures such as simple linctus, or sucking lozenges containing honey or glycerol to coat the throat, are the safest option to reduce coughing. Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any medicines during pregnancy.

Hope this advice helps. kakatakot talaga *** cough when i cough nga i usually hold my tummy or uupo muna ako para hindi lahat ng pressure nasa tummy ko.

pinkyblush my 1st-3months pre-natal vitamins was folic acid and natalwiz.

I was prescribed folic acid and Elevit Pronatal for the 1st trimester. After 1st trim, folic acid was replaced with a calcium supplement.

hello mga moms!!

i'm on my 23rd week, sobrang likot na ni baby. feel ko na yong real kicks nya. tomorrow na yong ultrasound ko to know the gender of my baby. i hope my baby will show it.

:)

[kittykittylala]

WOW!!!! mommie Ellheym.... ano prefer mong gender? :D

[Ellheym]

^ just had my ultrasound today.. my baby is in a breech position, the doctor can't view my baby's gender. i need to go back after a week to check the position and gender, i hope by that time my baby will show it and move to a better position.

[camgray]

^^Suspense yan ha! :) I remember yung ultrasound ng baby ko.. i immediately saw the birdie!! i was able to guess before the doc could tell me, hehe..

[Ellheym]

^ oo nga eh sobrang suspense.. :glee: gusto ko na kasing bumili ng baby items.

[mulberry_me]

baka girl siya. Sabi nila pag girl ayaw magpa expose pero pag boy proud daw yan sa ultrasound. I saw my baby's gender at 17 weeks.

[Ellheym]

hello mga mommies:

i had my ultrasound kanina at grabe nakita na namin ang gender ni baby. it's a girl. 98% daw girl sabi ni doc. :) at hindi na nakabreech si baby. :)

[cmars2]

[kittykittylala]

[camgray]

^WOW, good luck mommy kitty! Parang kelan lang, i was in your situation. Ngayon, big na si baby.. Kaya enjoy each moment of pregnancy and when your child is here.. I wish i could say the same for labor, hehe.. Pero kaya mo yan.. Keep us updated! :)

hello! im a newbie and im in my 12th week. im just wondering if anyone can recommend a good OBGYNE in Makati Medical???

[ewan_ko_sayo]

i'm 7 weeks preggy, and expecting my baby sometime in march..

i'm still looking for a good hospital where i could give birth, but i don't think i can afford a hospital bill worth 40k or more.. around 30k lang max ko.. maybe you guys can help me..

Try to check Metropolitan Medical Center. 20k+ and normal at 30k+ ang CS. Yun ang sabi ng OB ko. Complete na daw yun.

[yummymummy]

Hi yummymummy! what's wrong with your current OB? Is his/her clinic far from where you live?

Hi yummymummy! what's wrong with your current OB? Is his/her clinic far from where you live?

thanks for replying =) i'm actually not from here, im just here on vacation but i would like to go for a check up. I prefer to see any OBGYNE from Makati Medical or Asian Hospital in Alabang =) Know any good ones?

[kittykittylala]

:rotflmao: mommieessss!!! andito pa din ako :rotflmao: di pa din ako nangitngitlog, di ko alam kung *** mga nararamdaman ko eh mga signs na ng labor, basta ang na notice ko lang sa sarili ko mamimiss ko *** tummy ko pag nanganak na ako, mamimiss ko *** galaw ng baby na nakakatuwa parang ni mamassage *** tummy everyday. :D update ko kayu pagnailuwa ko na *** itlog at sana normal ang delivery ko. :naughty:

[camgray]

kittykittylala: ganyan talaga, nakakainip esp on the last days at yan nalang ang inaantay mong mangyari.. Good luck and God bless! :)

yummymummy: My OB is affiliated with Asian Hospital. She is Dra. Solema Granados-Rivera. She is good and very nice/accomodating. OB ng buong office namin sya- my 2 former bosses, and 2 other colleagues!
If you want naman a younger OB, a family friend is Dra. Anna Hamada, also in Asian Hosp. She is also magaling - dating OB chief resident ng Makati Med, and had further OB/gyne schooling in Japan.. I'm not sure if she's started holding clinic at Makati Med yet. Choose either one, they're both good! :)

Hi everyone - just wanted to know who here are firstime moms like me. I just found out I'm pregnant last Friday (Nov3) after being married for 5 yrs. I'm so happy but also so scared. Funny thing is hubby doesn't know yet and I plan on telling him in a memorable way. any ideas? planning to wait for my next ob checkup in 3 weeks to tell our parents and then after 8-12 weeks to tell our friends and family.

I guess i'm 4 weeks and feeling some cramping - which I heard it's normal so long as there's no spotting.

How about you?

Hi unica... I'm also a first time mom.. And don't you just feel happy to be having access to forums like this on the internet... Aside from asking from friends and relatives for their experiences.. I just feel glad that many moms out there share their experiences online...

Anyway, have you seen your doctor already.. I'm 5 weeks pregnant.. and still shopping for a doctor.. Maybe we can compare notes....

Later...:)

[cmars2]

Hello all! I'm 34weeks pregnant and I'm having twins. :) I'm not a first time mom though. Advise ko lang sa mga first time moms, relax and enjoy the pregnancy. Savor the feeling. :)

[toxic_nips]

ako rin, preggy with our second baby. 27 weeks to be exact.

and as cmars2 said, enjoy the pregnancy! every kick (kahit masakit minsan), flutter, bubble, any movement really! enjoy! don't get stressed too much, rest as much as possible if you can. excercise, eat right and healthy.

on my 27th week pa lang and i;m getting impatient na, i want to see my baby na!! :D

[mystique26]

hi, it's my first time to post here. my daughter is already 3 yrs old, but i will never forget the time i was pregnant with her. very fulfilling experience expecially since i have a history of miscarriage before i got pregnant with my daughter.

[Rugrat]

Posted the same reply over at What's up, Doc? Then, I realized doctors are now scaring me that I need the assurance of moms and moms-to-be more:

I'm on my 9th week of pregnancy. This is my first. I had a TVS and the doctor said the GS was well-formed, but there was no cardiac activity. I went to my OB yesterday and she was surprised to see the results kasi the OB-Sonologist (I'm not sure if yun ang tawag sa doctor na nagpe-perform ng ultrasound) recommended a repeat scan kesa "misabortion" daw. Dapat misabortion na daw yun. I don't know exactly what she meant pero the word ABORTION scared the hell out of me. :( :( :( My bf and I waited for this baby for 3 years and it just hurts so much na there's a possibility na we'd lose the baby. I'm scared. I feel so hopeless. I'm confused din. Everybody's telling me different things. Sabi ng iba, usually sa 9th week dapat may cardiac activity na. Others sa fourth month. I don't want to lose hope pero I don't wabt to expect na din. I'm not ready to be a wife. Pero I'm ready na to be a mom. Please pray for my baby.

[sublime_79]

[cmars2]

wow twins din babies mo? me too! due ako in april or even as early as march :)

Wow ikaw rin? :) Fraternal twins ang babies ko, a girl and a boy. My first born is a boy. So complete na ang bodyguards ng girl.:D
Sabi ng OB ko, pre-term daw talaga kapag twin pregnancy so earlier than the expected date of delivery ka talaga manganganak. Do you have names already? Ako wala pa. HEhe

[mulberry_me]

Hi Rugrat, Dear I don't want to scare you either but please try to do a repeat Ultrasound. From what I know, baby's heartbeat can be seen in the ultrasound as early as 6 weeks. But don't lose hope ok. Praying for you and your baby.

[mulberry_me]

Sublime 79 and cmars, Wow sa blessings. Nasa lahi niyo ba ang pagkakaroon ng twins?

[tina11]

Hi Rugrat, I got an ultrasound at 10 weeks yata and the heartbeat was already detected and measured. It's not supposed to take 4 months. I agree with mulberry, please get a repeat ultrasound. Hoping you get positive results this time.

[Rugrat]

mulberry_me and tina11:

thank you for your reply, ladies. i'm getting another TVS on Thursday. I'm still scared, but I think I'm more ready now that the first time. It'll be sad if the baby's "dead", but I'm still hoping for a miracle. If wala, try again, right? Thank you ulit.

[sublime_79]

Sublime 79 and cmars, Wow sa blessings. Nasa lahi niyo ba ang pagkakaroon ng twins?

yes nasa lahi kasi yung mommy ko may twinsister :)

cmars : wow ang galing naman girl and boy *** babies mo :) *** ultrasound ko last week showed that they're both boys :) hala, lagot ako... heheh.. i didn't know na nakakapraning pala maging pregnant. i always worry na baka they're not ok.. na baka *** isa lang *** naglilikot.. basta i've become a worrywart ever since i got pregnant :)

[tina11]

Good luck Rugrat

[Rugrat]

Good luck Rugrat

thank you, miss. i went to have a repeat TVS last thurs and the baby has still no heartbeat. the recommendation was missed abortion na nga. OMG! how i hate that word. :( i'm going to see my ob-gyne later after work. i just know na what she's going to say. but i'm confused. the baby's growing naman maski papano and s/he's has changed places naman since the last TVS. i'm scared and confused. but one thing is certain. if they want an abortion, i'll wait for the baby to come out of me naturally just to be 101% certain that there's no chance na talga of survival. thank you again.

[cmars2]

Sublime 79 and cmars, Wow sa blessings. Nasa lahi niyo ba ang pagkakaroon ng twins?

Sabi ng Dad ko, nasa lineage daw nila yung pagkakaroon ng twins. Fourth generation na ata ako, nachambahan pa. :)

[ewan_ko_sayo]

Hi ewan_ko_sayo! Who is your OB?


Dr. Caroline Ty OB ko. Dun nya ko recommend sa Metropolitan Medical Center.

[mayiesweet07]

Hi mga mommies... I am new here on this thread. Binasa ko lahat ng post nyo from the start. I learned a lot od things. Lalo na I only found out last Sunday that I am pregnant. Di pa ako pumumunta sa doktor for check up baka after christmas na ***. There are a lot of changes on me, medyo natatakot din ako pero at this early time kinakausap ko na si baby kahit alam ko na hindi pa sya buo. We wait for this moment, my hubby is very excited, lagi nya kiss tummy ko and telling how much he love our baby. Thank you sa mga mommies na nag share ng experience nila. It really helps. Mga mommies keep informing us your experience ha, Congrats sa mga soon to be mommies like me!!!!

This is the best exciting feeling I ever have on my whole life.

[sublime_79]

mga mommies, naging masungit/cranky din ba kayo while pregnant? pansin ko kasi parang ang sungit sungit ko and impatient most of the time :(

[cmars2]

^^
super maldita ako pag pregnant. pati mga pangit inaaway ko. ewan ko ba. :shrug: hate na hate ko si bakekang pati rosita ng pinoy dream academy. :glee: inaasar nga ako baka raw maging kamukha nila ang babies ko. :lol:

[peeyaa_ganda]

ohno cmars wag naman...

sublime... kay hubby (di pa kami married nakiki hubby lang ako) lang ako naging masungit, as in hinahanap ko sya para awayin... past time ko nun, makipagbreak sakanya hehe buti nalang di nya pinapatulan... hate na hate ko sya nung 1st tri... pero nung 2nd tri ko, ohmy! cant get my eyes off you naman ang drama! hehe... ganun talaga, first time din nya maging ama kaya nung umpisa di nya maintindihan topak ko, nung una pinapatulan din ako, nung sobrang bigat na ng nararamdaman ko at naiiyak na ko sa galit, i explained to him that my emotions are uncontrollable, and that wag nya ako patulan, ayun, napagtiisan naman nya ako hehe... ok lang yan, may excuse, but try to control your pagsusungit, coz not everyone would understand

[sublime_79]

heheheh cmars wag ka ganyan baka maging kamukha nila babies mo :)

peeyaa_ganda- everyday ko na pinaprapray na sana maging patient and understanding ako.. di naman ako naghahanap ng away pero basta.. iba pala talaga pag pregnant.. i still have 3 months to go.. gusto ko ng maging mabait (GAYA NG DATI BWAHAHAHAHAH)

[cmars2]

naalala ko pa during my first trimester, asar na asar ako sa classmate kong bading. as in umiinit talaga ang ulo ko pag nakikita ko sya. :ayaw: wag naman sana maging bading ang anak ko. :rotflmao:

[sublime_79]

cmars, how's your twins?

Until now, i still have no idea kung ano ang baby ko kc noong 4th month ko, nakatalikod siya nung pina UTZ ko. I'm a first time mom at medyo kinakabahan na ako sa panganganak ko.

[cmars2]

Asian hospital also allows cameras in their DRs but video cams are not allowed.

[cmars2]

Sa government hospital ako dito sa province namin nanganak. :p Pumapayag naman sila kahit na videocam pa as long as papayag yung nurse or kung sinong pwede mong utusan sa staff nila. :)

thanks for the response.:) hay, for the past 2 pregnancies ko i was never like this kahit mas unplanned yun dahil I was still a student then..i feel so alone in this situation, and I am dependent on my husband right now and I am so weak, beofre I got pregnant I was
a different person I may say, strong, ready to go, loves challenges.

its a relief knowing you gals are out there willing to talk things over
without really knowing each other personally..

you alone while being pregnant? are you working?

i'm a single mom by choice (u can check cheka's thread "need an expert" for my short story), but i don't live alone. i live with my mom and dad, a sister, and 2 brothers.

i was able to work in a corporate setting for almost 2 yrs. i resigned from my previous job even before i knew i was pregnant (coincidence talaga!) and i've been a bum ever since. hehe. :) ***** this is the rest that i've been needing ever since i graduated from college. after graduation kasi, i was so pressured to work agad without thinking that resting for some time would be beneficial for me. i was easily burned out with my 2 previous jobs, ***** un ang consequence nun.

anyway, i'm planning to go back to work on january next year. :) i don't want it in a corporate setting na. i'm thinking of getting a job in the academic field, cuz i have always been productive as a student in school, and i want to make use din of my bachelor's degree in psychology.

ooops... too much daldal na ko. hehe.

anyway, how are u feeling ba exactly? getting depressed isn't exactly uncommon naman, kaya lang it's also not going to do u and ur baby any good. im sure u know that na, mommy. hmmm... let me check what i can research on those baby blles ure having.. :)

cheer up!

i feel so alone, so weak to face life, not normal and worst is I wish im dead..my two kids are affected coz i dont play with them much..
my career is also affected coz i am on leave for 3 months now and still undecided if i will give up the work or not due to this depression..
and now i pity my husband kasi sya ang lagi kong nakikita, I always want to be with him (unlike before na i can do anything w/o him)..
to the point na im beeing unreasonalbe most of the time kaso pinagbibigyan nya lang ako kasi alam nya na im suffering from depression..

hay lainey_bogz, i wish i am as strong as you are..:(

hmmm... i understand. although i may not exactly know how u are feeling, but believe me, i understand. alam ko rin that u don't want to be like that naman given a choice diba?

right now, it's very important to talk to ur husband about ur depression. it will not only encourage open communication between u both, but as what they say, lahat ng negative feelings ay nababawasan when ure able to talk them over with someone u trust, with someone who supports u unconditionally.

have u tried doing research on antepartum depression? the book that i have says that it has been linked to preterm birth, lower birth weight, developmental problems in infancy, and a 50% chance of developing postpartum depression after the baby is born. i'm not trying to make u more depressed ha, i just want u to know the real risks. baka lang maka-help.

have u talked to ur ob about this?
