All pregnant Mommies

ano ba ang feeling ng contractions?

Yung uncomfy feeling na naninigas yung tiyan mo for less than a minute tapos biglang babalik sa dati yung tiyan mo. Sa tagalog ata ng contraction eh "naghihilab". Ang sabi ni OB kaya daw may contraction dahil ang uterus ay nageexpand in preparation in giving birth. Sign din ng labor ang contraction. One contraction every hour is normal pero you need to count din your contraction if you are experiencing it frequently kasi baka maglabor ka na. Sabi ni OB kapag 8 contractions within 2 hours accompanied by lower back pain at reddish discharge then that means eh maglalabor na daw yun. Pero kung contraction lang eh inom lang daw ng water, lakad lakad at warm bath. Maaring dehydrated lang daw kasi kapag ka ganun.

ah ganun ba...ewan ko kung nafefeel ko na ba yung nafefeel mo...kasi minsan naninigas din tummy ko after doing some housechores ang ginagawa ko nagpapahinga lang ako then nawawala naman...then minsan naninigas sya dahil naglalop-sided yung tummy ko maybe the baby is doing summersault inside my tummy or whatever...so ang ginagawa ko kinikiliti ko yung baby ko then yun bumabalik din naman agad.

Mine get really really tight and very uncomfortable...like with a little pain ba, lalo pag sasabayan ng suntok/sipa/galaw ng bata. My back ache is terrible, lalo pag bababa ako ng sasakyan and i have to twist around, when I get up from sitting or when i have to change positions during the night. Don't really like taking meds, no matter what my doc and my brother says. My tummy is really heavy, feeling ko banat na banat na yung balat ko sa tagiliran and my abdominal oblique muscles, too. MInsan, i have to carry my tummy para lang di masyado uncomfy. I am thinking of giving up my under-the-belly underwear for the full-panel ones that would offer more support. di naman malaking-malaki tummy ko...mabigat lang. Haay...iniisip ko na lang na konting tiis na lang.

Looked up the estimated costs for a CS at the hospital website...anywhere between $17.5T - $18.5T. Geez... Di pa kasama yung newborn care dun and the doc's fees which, thankfully, we have already paid. Normal delivery is between $12.5T- $13T++. SAbi ko kay hubby, i-try nalang kaya ang VBAC but ayaw nya kasi risky for me plus sinabihan na kami na malamang CS din ang uwi because of the baby's possible big size plus a slightly small outlet. Next week, the OB will make a requisition at the hospital for my CS. Hay naku....bahala na si Batman...

my tummy isnt big kasi kaya di ako masyadong nahihirapan...though i feel some pain too pero tinitiis ko na lang kasi malapit na rin naman...

Riza - pretty ng baby mo at ang bilis nyang lumaki

Mommies (di ko na iisahin) - buti pa kayo nag uusap na tungkol s infant milk, darating din ako dyan hehe.

Pink - correct ka dyan, konting pagbabago lang ng pakiramdam eh natatakot na ko, one time sumakit ang tyan ko after ko kumain buti at di naman nagtagal. Siguro nabigla lang kasi gutom na gutom ako tapos biglang kain. Malapit kna palang pumutok, siguro lagi kang nakikiramdam. March 25 due ko 26 naman birthday ng asawa ko kaya ngayon palang eh kinakausap ko na si baby na lumabas nalang sya ng 26 para sabay sila ng bday ng Daddy nya para masaya at tipid hehe. Mag eepidural kba? Ako undecided pa, mukhang kakayanin ko naman eh. Marami kasi ang mga kaibigan ko sa pinas na di naman nag epidural at nakayanan naman nila. Goodluck and God Bless!

He he...thanks Bret Bilis nga nyang lumaki, parang kelan lang ng pinanganak ko siya. Ngayon nakakatuwa na. Gusto palagi kinakausap.

Palagay ko kaya mong di mag-epidural. Dito lang naman uso ang epidural, sa atin sa Pinas hindi. Tolerable naman ang pain ng contractions. Pero, depende na rin yan sa'yo kung di talaga kaya.

Kanina po kala ko eh maglalabor na ako dahil naka 10 contractions ako from 8am-10am tas tawag ako kay OB. huminto yung contraction tas balik nanaman ung 11am pero wala nmn akong reddish discharge, back pais saka hindi nmn pumutok panubigan ko. Pinainom lang ako ng madaming tubig, pinalakad lakad tas warm bath eh naging okey na ako ng bandang 1pm. Hay! kinakausap ko nga baby pumpkin ko na wag muna lumabas, okey lang kahit sa first week ng dec na hehe. hay kakanerbyos ang feeling ng malapit na manganak hehe.[/b][/color]

Naku Pink lapit mo na manganak. Yay, exciting

PINK - thank you! big fan kasi ng Colts ang daddy nya kaya nahawa din si baby! lol!

good luck nga pala, lapit na due date mo, im sure supa excited ka na mahawakan at makita baby boy mo.

alam mo ang baby mo at baby ni aki ay bagay...parang magkamukha kaso ma amo lang yung kay aki kasi girl at sayo medyo bad boy ang dating kaya bagay talaga. hehehehehe

Ha ha,...kala ko ako lang ang naka notice na magkamukha baby ni aki at ni nicksNbrian Parang magkapatid

Gracey, yong total ng hospital bill namin was $21,000+ pero ang sabi ng insurance $11,000+ lang. Binayaran namin is $1,300. Buti na lang may insurance, kung ala, baon sa utang.

[o0pink0o 3]

Carefree, I got the coupons in mail this morning maraming thank you

doc gracey, ano po yung VBAC?

bmtrrbt, bka yun na nga yung comtractiona na nafefeel mo. Kasi sabi nila usually nafefeel ang contraction kapag nasa 20th week na.

te riza, oo nga malapit na pero sana wag muna. gusto ko sana first week ng december ako manganak, isa pa gusto ko pang humabol sa black friday shopping sale LOL! kaya ayoko pa manganak

[andrew&evelyn 6]

Naku Marjo sinabi mo pa...talagang maloloka ako sa asawa ko. Nasobrahan yata ng excited!!!

alam ko nga Pink pag 6 months na ang baby bago sya papakainin ng baby..anyway natututo na rin naman sya.

Jocelyn di ba may baby ka na rin? Post ka naman ng pics nya

NicksNbrian pumunta asawa ko kahapon sa wic..di kami qualified

Mga mommies ganun pala kamahal manganak dito??? Yong binayaran namin sa hospital is $1000 for 2 days. Personal yong insurance ko. Tapos we pay $15 every preanatal visit and covered si baby for only 21 days lang kasi he was born Oct 11 so untill the end of the month lang sya covered under my insurance.

About naman don sa epidural..pwede nyo try na wag agad humingi pero pag di nyo kaya hala go go lang. Ako kasi I waited for 12hrs..pero nong intense na yong pain humingi nako kasi di ko matolerate yong pain tapos knowing pa na available naman sya agad..pero siguro nga pag walang choice baka nakayanan ko naman yong pain.

Goodluck sa mga malapit ng manganak

We do have insurance, 80/20 co-pay. Naku, sana nga. I did hear something about insurance companies giving discounts.

VBAC - vaginal birth after cesarean. My former OB told me I could opt for that but I was also told that malamang mauuwi din sa CS kasi medyo prominent yung ischial spines ko (assessed thru an internal exam), meaning that medyo my kasikipan yung pelvic outlet ko. My OB now tells me that Maizy is up to date with her growth. When I was having Alec, sabi ng OB ko (at 7 months) na maliit lang daw sya na lalabas...yun pala puro baby yung laki ng tyan ko. With Maizy now, my tummy is bigger at this stage than it was with Alec at this stage so that malamang mas malaki ito kesa kay Alec. Ayaw din ni Hubby na i-risk namin ang possible uterine rupture kung mag-labor ako imbes na scheduled CS. There is a 97% success with VBAC, but there is also that 3% failure, and small as that is, ayaw nya i-risk. Sana nga tama si Riza sa cost ng CS...$1.2T sounds better than $3.5T
