Babies due 3rd Qtr 2014 (July, August, Sept)

[coffeejelly]

@ jaguar_paw walking and squats [textspeak!] but don't over do it hehe I envy you ako bed rest pa din and I am hoping and praying for normal delivery

@ michichar few more weeks na Lang nakakaexcite and nakakatakot

[lovemeagain30]

Me too i'm aiming for unmedicated natural birth!  ayoko magpa epidural kasi baka mag end up na maging 'assisted birth' pa. naisip ko pano nalang kung hindi magaling yung staff na maghahandle sakin on that moment, maituloy pa sa CS. 

Sa eldest ko it was unmedicated but it was 9 years ago at nasa pinas pa kami nun. this time sa bunso ko, kakayanin ko ulit! (palakasin ang isipan! hehe).

Thanks pala ^CoffeeJelly sa reply mo. araw araw nga namin kinakausap etong baby na umikot na sana siya. ang alam ko sa pinas may iba pinapahilot para pumusisyon sa baby. pero wala naman kami diyan so waley hintay lang talaga kami kung kelan siya handa ng pumuwesto.

exercise ko now is walking and stationery bike pero nakasandal. hindi lang para makapanganak ako ng normal pero I feel na every after my session, gumagaan yung pakiramdam ko. saka masarap ang tulog ko. unlike pag wala akong exercise uneasy sa gabi.

[coffeejelly]

I envy you sis nakakapag exercise pa kayo ako runner before pregnancy but due to shortened cervix cause of infection ayun bed rest hehe...para sa discomfort and pain ok din warm bath lacking talong yan samin kasi I have scoliosis din so imagine the back pain hehe

[lovemeagain30]

naku sis ^Coffeejelly bawal pala sayo mag workout since high risk pala yun pregnancy mo. kahit ba maglakad lakad di rin pede? or swimming? kung may go signal ka for walking I think kahit sa bahay lang pede na like walk from bedroom to kitchen then balik ulit.. mga 30 times na ganun!  pero kung advised talaga ni OB na wag magkikilos,, well talaga ganun, its for you and your baby safety narin. 

for backpain,, its almost a month now that we sleep in airbed!kapag regular bed kahit gaano siya kalambot, after a while sumasakit parin yung balakang at likod ko. nadiscover namin yun one afternoon when I slept in our airbed. parang kasi siyang medicine ball. di ba when you sit on it tapos you move nadidistribute yung pressure sa pelvic area. so yun. try mo lang sis kung makatulong sayo.

[coffeejelly]

Ang lakad ko sis bathroom breaks and pag punta ng kitchen but it was only last week na pinayagan ako ni OB...for 2 months bed pan ako then wheel chair if necessary hehe I'm so thankful nga ok na ako now even  ultrasound last week, I will try the air bed though nakaortho bed now salamat sis...will pray for the safety of everyone and update us if umikot na si baby ha

[sweetberries]

Thanks sa lahat mga sis! Iba talaga ang feeling pag kasama na si baby! Happy first of july at hello kabwanan para sa lahat, nagkataon na nauna lang ako. dun po sa nagtanong kung bakit ako na emergency cs  ang dahilan po ay premature rupture of membrane and failure to descend.. pumutok na [textspeak!] panubigan ko around 5:30 am ng june 24 when i was about to go to work then naglabor ako until 5pm umabot ng 8cm kaso dun na nastock kaya ob decided na mag cs na, 12hrs of labor din un ;(. Sabi ni ob imbes kasi na nakayuko si baby, nakaliyad [textspeak!] ulo niya kaya daw ayaw bumaba at di talaga kakayanin ng normal delivery kasi mahihirapan siya mag pass. Anyweis thank god at ok na kame. Kayang kaya niyo yan mga sis! Good luck and god bless ♥♥♥

[coffeejelly]

Congrats sis so happy for you finally kasama mo na baby nag breast feed ka ba after you get out of recovery room?

[silvermist07]

Silvermist, hahaha akala ko ako lang ang na aadict kakaresearch on how to dilate the cervix. Gusto ko ng manganak!!! Ang sakit na ng vajayjay ko. My body is stretching like crazy. Pero mas prefer ko na at least 38 weeks (so next week), wala din kasi ob ko naka birthday leave. Monday pa balik. Sabi naman niya it doesnt look like I'm giving birth this week. Ang taas pa ni baby.

Aside from walking ano kayang okay na exercise pa? And things to eat? Ayaw ko naman mag primrose oil ng hindi prescribed.

Hi sis! Oo nga.. hirap bumangon and magchange ng position pagnakahiga. Ako naman sis basta more than 37 weeks prefer ko. 37 weeks na ko sa friday and wedding anniversary namen on July 7 so hoping na matapat dun. Hehe.. Sabi nila sis drinking pineapple juice daw everyday helps us to dilate. Ingat sis and sa lahat ng mga may kabwanan.

- ok lang yan sis. konting tiis na lang. bed rest or hindi, para kay baby naman lahat ng ginagawa natin! go go go!

lovemeagain30
- kaya mo yan ulit sis! isipin mo na lang, nakaya mo noon, eh di kaya mo ulit ngayon!

[vain_kixie]

Silvermist, try ko din yan pineapple. Sabi nila raw papaya daw ang nakakainduce ng labor, i'll ask my yaya to cook tinola nga. Nagpafoot massage na nga ako kay hubby kahapon. And last week I had one too when i had my nails done. Wala naman contractions or whatsoever.

Mga sis kelan kayo mag start uminom ng mga breastfeeding meds? May fenugreek na ako pero i haven't started drinking. i wanna try natalac or whatever malungay capsules.

Sis jaguar, ako all the way epid. Braxton Hicks nga umaray na ako eh. Sabi ni OB basta wag naman daw ako humingi before 4cm. I commend you for having the courage to go all the way natural.

[lovemeagain30]

^sinabi ba sayo sis ni OB the reason why she cant give to you the epidural shot before 4 cm dilation? what I know is anesthesia (in any form) if given early prior to active labor stage it will slow down the progress of your labor. imbis na mapabilis ang labor, tatagal siya lalo. si OB dapat mismo ang magdedecide in that moment kung okay na bigyan ka ng shot. anyways, with or without anesthesia lam ko kaya natin lahat yang labor! will power lang.  

[sixteen_16]

sis vain_kixie, may ob already prescribed me pro lacta (malunggay supplement) nung 2nd of june pa.. nakalimutan ko yung name nung isa pero pro lacta lang kasi meron sa watsons dito samin..

[Ma. Regina]

Sweetberries congrats! And hope you will have a speedy recovery!

Vain_kixie start drinking malunggay juice na! And my friends told me na ipamasahe daw kay hubby [textspeak!] likod hanggang boobs to produce milk. I have friends na walang milk nung nilabas si baby eh, pero after massaging and unli latching nagproduce daw sila ng milk.

Silvermist07 more than a glass of pineapple juice daw can cause dilation. I think you can try squats too. Share mo what helped you with the dilation. Excited na rin ako manganak pero sa late july to aug pa naman ang due ko. Totoo, ang hirap na kumilos at masakit na.

[Ma. Regina]

Mga sis, can you share your pedia too? Did you do some visits? I had 3 recommendations from my ob. I am not sure how to reconsider one. Please help.

[coffeejelly]

Giving birth in Makati Dr Clemente and Dr Nuguid are some of the recommended pediatrics there part din sila ng team ng OB ko

[michichar]

my friend told me to take malunggay capsules starting 37weeks. Napansin daw niya sa second baby niya, mas mabilis kasi sha thinks the malunggay capsules helped sa dilation. Mas naging madulas daw. I will start na by next week after my check up.

Coffeejelly, mixed feelings. kakaexcite pero scared and kinakabahan sa labor.

Question, what are your takes on the Unang yakap protocol of DOH? watched the video kasi sa youtube and saw that they clean and check the baby sa may stomach part or near the breast area. Hinde ba mahirap yun for the mom and the doctors? kasi di ba thorough cleaning and check up ginagawa? Share naman mga sis. TiA!

[silvermist07]

@ sis Ma. Regina ah ganon ba.. sige, I'll take it twice a day. I do exercise din. Upo tayo din daw magandang exercise as per dun sa friend ko.

@ sis  vain_kixie papabili nga din ako papaya. Siguro maganda combination papaya and pineapple.

[Ma. Regina]

Exciting na ang mga susunod na linggo mga sis! Praying for everyone's safe delivery? We can do this! Keep safe mga sis!

[silvermist07]

Oo nga sis! Kakaexcite and may halong kaba lalo na sa mga first timers. Pano ba proper pushing and breathing? Totoo ba na don't open your mouth daw when pushing?

[den.nica]

sa 1st pregnancy ko, nag natalac na ako nung 32nd week. I'm blessed din na may milk ako kagad pagka panganak. Nahirapan ako sa labor. 12 hours and na reach ko yung 10cm. 2x ako nag push pero mataas si baby. ayaw bumaba. ending CS ako. pag nag push ka igguide ka nila. bibilangan ka ng 10-1. 10 seconds, 1 push ganun kahaba. mababa pain tolerance ko grabe. iyak ako ng iyak habang nag llabor. kaya kinabukasan sobrang maga ng mata ko
