All pregnant Mommies

bakit left and right side lang kung matulog?

Kasi pag nakatihaya daw nandon sa back natin yong vessel na nagsusuply ng oxygen sa baby. Pag nakatihaya naiipit daw yon..kaya ang sabi nila the most safe sleeping position ay sa left or right side Syempre pag padapa naman di naiipit yong tummy hehehhe

Evelyn

actually recommended to lay down on your left side better than the right side... kasi there's a vein on our right side (vena cava) that takes the blood circulation from the heart to the lower part of your body, like your legs.. and also to the baby. Pag sa right, di masyado makakacirculate yung blood. Yun din daw yung reason why you get cramps at night. Pag on your back naman, it will put pressure on your back and spine esp pag malaki na si baby. I suggest, body pillow... talagang it helps. lalo na pag malaki yung tummy like me... hahah

Evelyn sister, i would suggest you take more fluids during daytime, and then just limit your liquid intake before going to bed... para di ka ihi nang ihi at bangon nang bangon at night -sleep is very important for recharging. I have to discover that the hard way kasi i work and i couldn't afford to get good night's sleep kaya nagresearch ako nang todo what's the best thing to do. so ito nga yung ginawa kong solution to resolve it and it works well for me. At first when i don't get good night's sleep tapos pregnant pa ako, i really get exhausted.

Thanks for the better explaination about left and right sleeping position

Yon nga ang problema kasi lakas ko uminom ng water kahit patulog na..nag dadadry kasi throat ko eh..pero tinatry ko na rin wag masyado uminom ng tubig pag gabi na..sip na lang.

OO nga pala Tand A when did you feel your baby moving? Can't wait to feel mine.

Evelyn

sister, si baby nafeel ko magstart gumalaw siguro mga 5 months na, i thought... pero di pa masyado obvious then. On the ultrasound though, we could see him doing sommersault even yung first time second or third ultrasound. Pero now... haaay... naku, baby is making a punching bag out of mommy's bladder and ####... sisipa talaga malakas. kaya minsan napapaihi ako ng unti, involuntarily... have to wear pads sometimes.

Ay ganun ba sistah mga 5 months mo na feel na gumalaw si baby, nabasa ko kasi starting 14 weeks daw eh nagalaw na...eh 17 weeks nako pero di ko na feel kaya medyo nagtataka ako. Meron exercise para di ka mapa ihi..nong nag attend ako ng pregnancy class tinuro nila....press tight your "thing" at least 20 seconds 50x a day. Yon yong tinuro. Sometimes I do that pero nakakalimutan ko hehehe...asawa ko taga remind sakin

kegel exercise ba? hehehe.. yeah it really helps.. sabi nila when you do kegels, mas ok in preparation for labor.. also they say it helps to avoid hemorrhoids din... ako rin di masyado diligent with kegels... hahaha

The OB said that I am 10 weeks preggy na and usually you can hear the baby's heartbeat on the 12th week but the OB said that since i am slim then there is a possibility that I might hear it and yes! i heard it wow! i almost cry when i heard it

[rlogan 2,036]

We listened to our baby's heartbeat last week.

Pretty amazing. Little fella needs to do some road work. Heartbeat was pretty fast!

Babies' heart beats are much faster than ours kasi it takes a shorter time for their blood to go around their tiny bodies

Am having a pre-natal screen UTZ in two weeks to check on the baby. I'm pretty high-risk kasi because of my age. I do hope that everything will be alright. And I can't wait to get over the first trimester. It has been taking a HUGE effort to get myself to eat anything as I get nauseaous pretty quick. Can't really get myself to eat what I cook so I tend to spend more time watching hubby and the li'l girl eat at the dinner table. And the breast tenderness.....!@#$%^&*(^!!! My first pregnancy was a cinch....no morning sickness, no pain...no nothing!!! Hubby says his unborn child is gonna be a big headache when he grows up...wag naman sana....

Question to all who have had their first prenatal check:

My hubby included us in his health insurance before we left the Philippines. I had my first prenatal last week and we used our health insurance. Yesterday, I got a letter from the clinic saying that the insurance will cover 80% of the estimated prof fee of $3000, good for all my prenatals, labor and delivery, and postnatal checks. We will pay for the remaining 20% on a monthly basis from July till December.

Is this a usual thing? I am presuming that this does not include the hospital fees?

haaay naku...i like my decaf, sugar-free rootbeer though and some cheese puffs and cheese crackers. also some crackers with salsa on it...yummy! and strawberries...i get them on a weekly basis and munch on them. I don't like veggies that much and am just forcing myself to eat them. Fruit, I don't have a problem. And boxes and boxes of low-fat Yoo-Hoo!!! I can;'t find the equivalent of Anmum here kasi. Or I'd be drinking that all the time.
