All pregnant Mommies

[frostysoftyeaton 6]

Natatawa talaga ako kay bmtrrbt..super kalog..pero maganda yan kasi your a happy person. And you also make us smile here Sige ituloy mo lang yan.

Riza baka nga this week lalabas na si Evie..im so excited for you.

Frosty- i hope na matapos na yang morning sickness mo and you finally enjoy pregnancy

Uniquecouple-Just like other mommies said here don't stress out to much. Your own time will come.

Pink-im glad you finally feel your baby's kicking, mahina pa yan hintayin mo mga 6 months hehehehe..kala mo naglalaro si baby ng soccer sa loob pag sumipa.

Ako naman about that pap smear..naku alam nyo ba na hindi ako nag papap smear...natakot kasi ako don sa aparatus hehehehe. Eh sabi naman ng asawa ko kung di daw ako comfortable wag ko na lang daw gawin. Tapos nong first prenatal ko..dapat vaginal ultrasound din...hala sabi ko don sa Nurse ayaw ko rin gusto ko yong sa tyan lang kasi ano ba naman yong mga aparatus nila nakakatakot hehhehe. Tapos nong second visit ko sabi nong nurse kailangan may deal daw kami..i-ultrasound nya daw ako kung papayag daw ako na tingnan nya yong cervix ko ..yon yong papasok nya daliri nya sa loob...naku tagal nya akong napapayag.Kung di lang ako buntis ayaw ko talaga gawin yon. 32 nako ni minsan hindi pako nag pa pap smear.

hello,

natry ko na rin yang ipasok yung daliri...hindi masakit kaso diniin ng ob ko yung tummy ko doon lang medyo masakit pero sandali lang naman...

naku evelyn mag papasmear ka na for your health na rin...i bet tapos mong manganak di ka na matatakot sa papsmear kasi mas masakit manganak keysa sa papsmear hehehhehe.

kagabi lang i was baby talking to my baby sabi pa ng hubby ko "leave him alone...what do you mean by achuchuchu?" hehehhehe...ayaw nya kasi when i baby talk to our baby...

about sa clothes, namili kami kahapon ng hubby ko ng baby clothes, as usual, si hubby ko lahat namili...meron syang nakita ulit na " i love mommy onesies..sabi ko lets buy that...sabi nya "hell no"..then nakakita hubby ko ng spiderman tshirts saying "daddy's superhero" sabi pa ng hubby ko lets buy this...sabi ko naman "no way man" hehehhehe...kaya yun kunti lang nabili namin.

may tanong lang ako...kasi sa ngayon active pa rin kami ng hubby ko...and im 5 months preggy na...sabi naman ng ob ko its ok as long as di raw ako naga bleeding...but sometimes i get scared kasi baka matamaan si baby matuhog ng hubby ko...kayo ba when kayo nag stop doing it?

God bless to all.

Kami ni hubby active pa rin. Tama ka as long as no bleeding involve eh safe. Pero may nabasa ako na safe naman yun during pregnancy kasi ang layo naman ni baby and protected by placenta..hehehehehe. Hanapin ko yung magazine na ibinigay sa akin sa hospital tapos post ko dito yung info pero yung ibang mga mommies i know may insights din sila about this.

[Loolie 56]

oo nga covered with placenta si baby...naku sana lang di matuhog ni hubby ko ang placenta kasi baka mabutas.

[ryandgracey 2]

hi,

may tanong lang ako...do you experience leg cramps when you are sleeping? kasi ako napansin ko nagkakaroon na ako ng leg cramps halos gabi-gabi and just started recently...lalo na pag mag change position na ako sa pagtulog na papa aguruy talaga ako hehehhehe...and worse pa left and right talaga pero di sabay...then minsan pagising ko nafefeel ko yung sakit sa muscles ko sa legs...

pero typical naman sya na cramps di naman yung worse kaso napapadalas lang talaga i dont know ano dahilan nito...i know related sa pregnancy but i dont know talaga why...

God bless to all.

leg cramps...i get that sometimes lalo in the morning before i get up. you may want to try stretching your leg before bedtime or pulling a towel or blanket while pushing on it with your feet. some ate a banana before bedtime for the potassium in it and it relieved their cramps. I guess the cramps are due to an electrolyte thingy. Our hormones are quite "mixed up" during pregnancy and this can account for some electrolyte shift. Also, put your feet up if you are just sitting down...that should improve the circulation in your legs.

Hay naku..i am 19 weeks, nearly 5 months and we're still active. Don't worry...it's perfectly safe; baby is far from daddy's "reach" and is well protected. It is discouraged if there is bleeding and toward the end of pregnancy as it may trigger premature labor. Otherwise...go ahead and have some fun Pag andyan na si baby, baka mabawasan ang oras for "fun" kasi puyat lagi...

[RyaNRiza 1]

Ha ha, natatawa ako sa "active" subject na yan. Mind you, I'm in my 38+ weeks and we still make love, although hindi nga lang araw2x

No'ng nakita na may placenta previa ako during my 2nd ultrasound, pinagbawalan kami ng OB. But we only abstain for like 2 weeks, lol. Hard-headed kaming dalawa at sa awa ng Diyos kahit sinaway namin utos ng doktor, the next time na in-ultrasound ako, nag shift na ang placenta, so back to normal

Love making is absolutely safe as long as walang seryoso na pregnancy complications.

[ryandgracey 2]

ryanriza- you'll know you're in labor when the cramping gets more intense and longer with each episode. Have you attended a birthing class? Once the contractions get like 20 mins apart...ospital na. Or you can check in the moment you start labor and walk around the corridors with hubby. how many weeks are you?

I'm 38+ weeks na Yup, we attended a childbirth class the other week. Dami info although nabasa ko na rin sa book. Pero iba pa rin pag may nagle-lecture specially matagal na sa birthing field Actually sabi ng OB at childbirth class instructor, 5 minutes apart daw na intense contraction, yon daw kelangan na punta sa hospital. Mabuti at malapit lang hospital sa place namin. Had been experiencing not-so-painful contractions last night, super malapit na talaga!

We bought our changing table sa Craigslist din, $20 lang and it matches our crib perfectly na binigay ng parents ng hubby ko.

Wow...that is near. Congrats to the both of you! When I had my daughter, around 37 weeks I was counting the mins between contractions to know if I was in labor or not. I went into labor Christmas morning and went through the day's festivities till late afternoon when I rang my OB and told her she could come to the hospital around midnight as I did not go to the hospital till about 6:30pm. My daughter was born about 6 hours later via CS.

Nice thing about the birthing rooms here is that it serves as the labor room and post-delivery room so that you get to have that privacy soon after childbirth. And if your hubby is a football fan, he gets to watch the games while you are delivering The only hospital I know in the RP that offers this is Asian Medical Center...and of course...luxurious din ang presyo.

So...enjoy the rest of your waiting period. Get lots of rest..you'll need all the strength you can muster once labor begins.

Thanks ryandgracey

Actually our birthing hospital has two separate rooms for labor/delivery and post-delivery. It's the newest hospital here in Mesa, so, super high tech at parang naka check-in ka sa hotel. Ibang-iba nga hospitals dito, kaso lang napaka-mahal. Pero ok lang dahil covered ng insurance ang majority ng bills.

How old is your daughter na?

[PrinceandPrincess 0]

Hello all mommies,

It's a girl!

I had my ultrasound two weeks ago. We are so happy to have a baby girl! Before I had my ultrasound my hubby thought we're going to have a baby boy kasi ang baby namin ay masyadong malikot sa tyan ko. I was 17 weeks when I felt her first kicked! She's very active early in the morning, mid-afternoon and in the evening. We sleep good every night and we're hoping she's not give us so much trouble... lol!

Take care always all mommies!

Princess

My daughter is 6 1/2 years old. Turns 7 on Dec 26th. Am scheduled for CS Dec 28th. Our anniversary is Dec 29th. Saya ano? December will be a month of feasts from here on end.

The hospital is about 5 mins from where we live so that I told my hubby that I can wait for him to come home from work the evening of Dec 27th para mag-check-in. My American aunt volunteered to come look after our daughter despite her difficulty moving around (she can still move around and cook for her 10 grandkids daily). I will be brought from the labor/delivery/post-delivery room to the surgical suite which would be yards away. My only request is that they do not sedate me so that I can see the baby soon as he/she is delivered, unlike when I had my daughter. Now, my husband has a new insurance coverage that would allow me to deliver at a hospital further away and be covered in full. But I told him that my OB can't do surgical procedures at that hospital and I don't want another OB to handle my case as she knows mine already. So we will stay with the current one and do a 20% co-pay of the total bill. Besides, we have paid her professional fees in full already for all prenatals, labor and delivery and post-partum check ups. And I trust her judgement. I also insisted on following up with her for each prenatal. At the clinic kasi, partnership sila and she has no fixed sched. So I schedule my appointments according to her schedule. Another differnce between healthcare here and back in the RP, where you can just do walk-in visits.

when i asked about leg cramps here since then di nako nag kakaleg cramps...hehhehehe buyag buyag buyag.

ms gracey when ba malalaman kung normal or cs yung delivery? kasi sa ngayon wala pa namang sinasabi yung ob ko kung normal delivery ako or cs...ayoko kasing ma cs...

God bless to all.

Well, if i remember right, if you are placenta previa late in your pregnancy, that is an absolute indication for CS. Some cases of multiple pregnancies, too. Otherwise, you won't really know till you get into labor and as the labor progresses. I underwent CS due to fetal distress...my daughter had 2 cord coils around her neck so that she could not go down the birth canal and her heartbeat was slowing down with each contraction. Also, my OB then said that my pelvic outlet was somewhat narrow so that mahirapan daw yung bata to be delivered normally. My daughter was 8 lbs 2 oz so i guess di talaga sya magkasya..."cephalo-pelvic disproportion" so to speak. My OB said that we could try for a normal delivery but with my age and not knowing how strong my uterine muscles are now, we have opted for a repeat CS. Oh..we would have a nice tax deduction for this year's taxes too!

Princess, congrats sa baby girl! mabuti naman at nakapagpaultrasound ka na.

te Riza, may nabasa akong impression ng doc sa medical records ko nung naER ako. nakalagay dun ay without placenta previa yung sa akin. kpag "with placenta previa" ba ay hindi safe makipag love making? check-up ko this coming thursday eh tapos papaexplain ko dun sa OB ko yung medical records ko in layman's term para nmn maintindihan ko hehe.

doc gracey, sabi rin ng dad-in-lawko na kapag pinanganak nga this year ang baby namin is malaki ang medededuct sa tax ng asawa ko hehe.

about sa pagiging "active" naman eh ayun ginagawa pa rin namin yun pero hindi na ganun kaactive kasi nga minsan ang dami ko ding nararamdamang kakaiba sa katawan ko kaya cguro minsan alang gana pero happy pa rin naman hubby ko sa sex life namin and he understands naman ang lahat ng nararamdaman ko

meron po akong napapansin sa sarili ko (pasintabi lang po), lagi akong nagfafart since nabuntis ako normal lang ba yun? ganun din ba kayo? or ako lang yung ganun? lol!

Nku makakarelate ako sa tax deduction na yan kasi ang asawa ko yun din ang sabi ang tawag pa nga niya " daddy's little dividend" loko loko talaga..

[Loolie 56]

ah ganu po ba ms gracey...ive read about that placenta previa before but never really try to understand it kasi ba naman malay ko sa mga panag sasabi about it...so il ask my ob kung ganyan ba ako.

about sa farting...yup i always fart and it really stinks...my hubby always ask me "what crawl up inside you and died my poor baby being inside you" just the other night i was farting so much kasi ba naman ilang days ako di na kapoopoo so yun mabaho talaga...and everytime i fart naga spray hubby ko ng air refresher pati butt ko sprayhan nya...natatawa lang ako...so yun nag poopoo ako and nakaclosed na yung window and naka-on na ang ac kasi gabi na...sobrang nabahuan talaga ang hubby ko, ginawa ba namang parang pamaypay ang pinto namin para ilabas lang ang baho then isinara yung bathroom door and nag spray ng sobra...yun nainis ako.

my hubby always tell me...my fart is loud but doesnt stinks your is SPD...silent but deadly. hehehhehhe

God bless to all.

halos lahat ata dito nagtatalk about tax deduction...ganun din hubby ko masaya sya about it...lagi nya ngang kinukwenta na kung magkano ang magiging tax return namin for this year...hehehhehe

Naku, laki na pala ng panganay mo

At the clinic kasi, partnership sila and she has no fixed sched. So I schedule my appointments according to her schedule. Another differnce between healthcare here and back in the RP, where you can just do walk-in visits.

My medical provider too, partnership din. Actually, 3 OBs were attending me in different appointment scheds, then, isang RN. Pero sa kalagit-naan nang pregnancy ko, the other OB which I only met once, and whom I liked among the 3 decided to do her separate practice. Kaya ayon, di na kami nagkita pa. Maybe the next time I get pregnant (God willing), we will have her as my OB.

Princess - Congrats! Dami ng baby girls. Parang iilan lang ang baby boys...meron ba?

Buti at ala kang placenta previa Pink Pinagbawalan nga kami no'ng nagka-placenta previa ako for 2 months until the next ultrasound. Buti na lang nag-shift placenta ko, so, ok na

About naman sa farting, siguro iba-iba dahil di ako nakaranas ng sobrang farting
