All pregnant Mommies

[Loolie 56]

i recall nung inaalagaan ko yung pamangkin ko (he is now 23 years old), cotton balls at tubig ang pinanglilinis sa kanya Kay Alec, ganun di ginamit ko. Now, since mura dito ang wipes (parent's choice and sam's club's huggies are the cheapest by far), puro wipes. We found a couple of wipe warmers sa Goodwill store so that di mabigla yung pwet ni Maizy sa lamig ng wipes...lalo't below freezing dito during most of the daytime. One in our bedroom for nightime changes and another downstairs for daytime changes

siguro, twice a week ako mag-wash and sterilize ng bottles since about 3 a day lang ang nagagamit, e she has about or 8 or 9 yata. I use a steam sterilizer...4 mins in the microwave. Tapos nagbilin ako ng plastic tongs/bottle holders sa mom ko kasi wala talaga ako makita dito.

sleepers...i have both the snap-type and the zippered. mas gusto ni hubby yung zippered kasi mas madaling palitan ng diaper kesa sa snap. Ako, walang preference.

i noted some "rashes" on maizy's cheeks...they look like red dots. Am thinking this is what they call "baby acne" from mommy's hormones still. hindi naman sya naiirita with the rashes...actually, ako yung naiirita, and i have not really put anything on them. i did ask hubby to bring home the lowest strength of hydrocortisone.

Question: did your baby's scalp flake? si maizy kasi, yun ang napansin ko na parang nag-dry scalp nya or baka ito pa rin yung nag-babalat like her skin did? Switched her from J and J na head-to-toe wash to Aveeno and I don't wash her head everyday kasi baka lalo mag-dry. She got some seborrheic dermatitis/cradle cap on her eyebrows which i oil everyday to remove the flakes.

gamit pala ng baby ko is yung jnj moisture care wash yung kulay pink yun ang binili ng hubby ko...yung heat-to-toe eh galing sa hospital pero di ko na inubos...

Hindi sis yung kabila lang binigay ko kasi nga gusto kung siguraduhin na may lumalabas pa na gatas, kaso ala talaga ang konti ng lumabas. Ayun binigay ko sa kanya yung ready to use na na gatas na bigay ng ospital, naka 2 oz agad ang anak ko. Makikita mong gutom na gutom talaga. Kawawa naman baby ko..

Anu ba ang magandang gamitin na formula? Any suggestions mga mommies?

suggestion ko eh yung price ang tingnan mo then yung content nung milk...kung di ka qualified sa wic bili ka ng yung sa walmart kasi mura...

[andrew&evelyn 6]

baka naman nung nagpump ka eh katatapos lang dumede ng baby mo kaya ka naka one oz lang...

baka kailangan mo pa sigurong kainin pati ang plato para maconvince mo yung hubby mo hehehehehehe...joke lang...kundi ipadede mo hubby mo para maconvince mo hehehehehe

Patawa ka talaga rr..pakainin ba ng plato heheeheh.....tsaka padede sa asawa???

Nga pala si Jacob di nya nasasabunutan sarili kasi kalbo naman sya..buhok ko lagi ang kawawa.

Ady-try mo enfamil..bili ka lang muna ng maliit na can.Yong similac kasi masyado mabula eh..tapos based sa experience ko kay jacob nakakaconstipated.

rose19 - I was 35 ng pinanganak ko baby namin. Nagtanong din kung gusto namin ng Amniocentesis test, pero ni-reject namin. Ang di ko lang maintindihan sa test na yan, pag positive ba ang result eh pwede nilang i-resolve? I doubt it. Kaya in my opinion, it's useless. Tapos another expense na naman test na yan. Just pray na bigyan ka ng healthy at normal baby. Plano namin na pag 2 years old na ang baby i-try namin magka-baby ulit. By then 37 na ako at most probably 38 ko na ipanganak ang second baby, God willing. Maybe you can ask the doctor ano ang advantage, if pwede ba nilang i-fix pag may problema.

Gracey - I also hope na hindi eczema ang rashes ni eczema. Si Evie yong Daddy nya ay may hay fever, tapos kapatid ng kanyang daddy may asthma. Sabi, pag may history ang family ng mga ganong sakit, more likely nag-ka eczema ang baby.

RR - Nakakatawa naman kwento tungkol sa pag-ihi ni Tyree. Parang common yan sa mga babies na lalaki ah

Eve - Nag-submit ka na ba ng report of birth?

frosty - Binasa ko ulit yong requirements, yong 4 original copies pala eh yong forms, ang engot ko talaga Buti na lang isa lang kailangan original BC. Just finished printing the forms, sana di tamarin at ma-submit na. Kelangan pala i-notarized ang forms kapag sa mail lang ipadala ang application.

About naman sa milk, try mo kung ano magustohan nya dahil iba-iba ang mga babies. Gaya ng sinabi ni Eve bili lang ng maliit na can. I-consider mo rin ang prices at content like what RR dahil habang lumalaki ang baby, nag-i-increase din ang mako-consume nila. Gamit namin ngayon ay Fry's store brand. Halos kalahati ang presyo sa name brands tapos yong content ay halos magka-pareha lang.

Hi to all mommies hopefully everybody's doing great with your babies, I have a question because my OB/GYN ask me last time that if we want to do the Amniocentesis test kasi 37 na ako pero she told us na optional naman kasi nga high risk na daw ang more than 35 years old na pregnant for the baby to have a down syndrome, kasi may next prenatal schedule will be next week, na worried naman ako sa nabasa ko kanina kasi andaming booklets ang binigay sa akin ng OB ko nabasa ko doon about sa down syndrome parang natakot ako tuloy pero marami naman akong friends na nanganak na more 35 years old na sila normal naman, any suggestions please meron ba mommy dito na nanganak na more than 35 na? share naman yong may ideas jan ha...pero sabi naman sa akin ng OB ko maganda naman daw yong pag grow ng baby ko normal naman daw pero syempre maaga pa naman I'll pray a lot na sana nga wala lang problema ang pag buntis ko trust naman ako kay Lord kaso di ko maiwasan minsan mag worry tao lang ako di ba....thanks in advance...

Hi rose, I am 35 right now but i refuse to do amnio so i did only genetic testing...Nasa sayo na yan kung gusto mong mag amnio pero ayaw ko talaga kc takot ako dyan...Kasi for me it useless what if the baby have down syndrome may magagawa ba cla eh wla naman...Pray na lang ako that my baby is healthy...

about the Amniocentesis test, I was 30 yrs. old when I conceived my baby and my OB gave me an option of wheather or not take the test but I took it. It's my first born so gusto ko lang makasiguro. And my OB explained it to me that it's not all about resolving if there's a possible problem or terminating the fetus, it's more of preparing the parents psychologically if ever the baby will born with physical of mental defects because they offer counseling. And plus yung hospital na malapit dito sa bahay namin, they don't have the neonatal care, so the earlier the better na ma detect nila kung may abnormality ba yung baby para ma refer ka nila for another hospital na mas equipped for this kind of situation.

Kahit ata anong edad sina suggest nila ang test na yan, dinecline din namin yan. What i heared was ang option kapag positive is to terminate pregnancy, kaya sabi ng husband ko eh kahit daw mag positive eh willing daw ba akong i terminate eh catholic daw ako at di naniniwala dun. And besides sabi nung nurse sa akin kung me problema ang baby makikita din yan sa ultrasound at sa blood test. Additional expense lang talaga yang test na yan, basta pray ka nalang.

nakakatakot naman yang Amnio test na yan. sana hindi i-suggest sa akin ng doctor na mag ganyan ako (i'm 31) kasi bahala na pero idedecline ko rin yan. ilang buwan kaya tiyan bago nila i-suggest yan?

[andrew&evelyn 6]

Kami decline din namin yang amino test na yan. I was 32 when I got pregnant. Yon nga sabi ng iba if ever na may problem they can't really do something about it..tapos yon minsan yong test nagiging false positive that will even make you more worried. Kaya ako di ako nag undergo nong mga test na yan like genetics..worrier kasi ako eh kaya mas maganda pa yong di ko alam kasi lalo lang ako ma stress.

Riza-maybe tomorrow or Tuesday kami punta ng Consulate para submitt yong mga papers. Sulit din naman pag pupunta kami don kasi we are going to do the Report of Marriage, Report of Birth, Passport Ammendments and Renewal, tapos apply na rin kami ng Passport for Jacob. Nga pala nabasa ko don sa ibang forums na if you appear personally di mo na kailangan mag submitt ng original copy..dalhin mo lang yong original for them to see. If tru mail naman yon kailangan daw na notarized tapos submitt also the original copies pero ibabalik din daw naman yon sa inyo.Kaso kasi iba-iba yong requirement every state kaya mas maganda siguro you call the consulate kung san kayo under.

Naku evelyn buti nagpost ka about this kasi we are planning to go to Chicago sometime June dun ko nalang din siguro isasubmit in person yung Report of marriage, report of birth, amendment at renewal ng passport ko pati pagkuha ng passport ni baby. Nabanggit din ni mommy riza dito na kailangan pa palang e notarized kung emimail mo..Hay hassle..LOL..

Yung sa requirement nga nila na photo diba pwede dun na gagawin without additional cost? Ikaw ba nagpapicture kayong mag-asawa or dun niyo na rin gagawin?

Mommy Riza - Malayo din ang consulate dito sa amin. Under kami sa Chicago and it's a 13 hour drive..Hay..Pero alang plano asawa ko magdrive kasi kawawa si baby at tsaka mas makakatipid kami kung mag-eeroplano..Hehehehe..

Mommy Shiela - Magka-edad lang pala baby natin. Addie Mae is also 12 days old today..Hehehehe! Pero panay na ang labas nito since lumabas kami ng ospital. Today was her second sunday at the church..

Sabi sa amin mag four months daw kasi that's the time na cover ng 4 to 6 ounces ng warm amniotic fluid ang baby its enough to get the sample for the test, basta ako tiwala nalang ako kay Lord ah di ba day.. pray nalang tayo.
