Babies Due 1st Quarter of 2015 (Jan, Feb, Mar) Thread 3

[preggygielian]

@aiah: Sis, napabasa din ako sa CPD -- mukang madali siyang ma mis-diagnose. I'm hoping you'd still be able to deliver vaginally!

@lakwatsa: Sis, ikaw ilang cm na? Hahaha..dahil halos sunod sunod na ang nanganganak saatin dito, nagpupustahan na kami ng asawa ko kung kelan ako manganganak -- para lang masaya hahaha! Sabi ko gusto ko sana Feb 9 (38w1d) pero feeling namin at least 39 weeks kasi di pa mababa ang bump ko eh...mas mababa na siya than before pero di pa mababa talaga. Ako bet ko Feb 16 at siya naman Feb 20. Due date ko Feb 22 hahaha..parehas naman kami sabi mukang di naman sosobra. Grabe parang lotto din pala to noh...di mo alam ano numero para manalo! Hahaha!

Hi guys!

First time mom and Im 40 weeks and 1 day na today and still no sign of labor- no show, no water breaking. Im getting a bit worried as I dont want to be induced nor do I want to undergo CS. Doc asked to get biophysical profile and non-stress test and okay naman result as of yesterday. Baby boy got the perfect score naman. Im not sure why he's just not ready to come out though. Are there any other first-time moms who delivered past their due date?

 

[lakwatsa]

@preggygielian, haha di ko pa alam sis. bukas pa check up. ewan kung i-IE ako ni doc e wala pa rin akong signs. hay kainip talaga. ako din gusto ko sana manganak nun Jan 18 (38w1d) pero wala e si baby talaga masusunod kung kelan sya maghe-hello world 

sis panini, in-IE ka ng OB mo? di ka pa rin dilated/effaced? same tayo ayaw ko rin ma-CS e. ilang lbs na daw baby mo according sa ultrasound? may mga kakilala akong first time moms din na nanganak past their due dates. Yun isa 40w3d tapos yun common friend naman namin ni sis preggygielian e inabot ng 41w2d. both NSD. up to 42wks naman daw kasi ang max waiting. wag tayo mag worry lalabas mga babies natin pag ready na sila at strong enough para sa outside world.

[panini]

@lakwatsa yup. 1 cm external, internal closed pa. the one who did the IE was the one who did the non-stress test, not my OB mismo. I didnt know what she meant by that. but she said the baby is still high up in there but cervic has somewhat softened na daw. Based on the ultrasound, baby is 6.9lbs na. sana hindi nako umabot ng 41 weeks!

hello mga sis!

aiah,pregggielian,lakwatsa - mga sis as much as i want to be a sahm mom, wala eh no choice talaga kailangan kumayod since yung asawa kong katuwang ko sa buhay eh MIA na talaga ewan ko sabi saken ng inlaws ko babalik daw siya pero hindi masabi kailan, mamaya aali aligid yun dito samen once nalaman niya lumabas na anak namin.

minsan nakakainggit pag nagbabasa ako dito kasi yung mga asawa niyo full support like sumasama pag magshopping, classes etc or kahit may misunderstandings ng kaunti nareresolve naman, hay buhay nga naman. priority ko makasecure ng funds mabilisan para sa pang school ng anak ko til college and the only way to do that alone is if i continue working abroad siguro cut off ko kumbaga ay bago pumasok sa school yung baby tapos after nun dito nako ulit sa pinas magwork. ewan ko lang baka pag nakita ko ang baby ko baka maawa naman ako iwanan siya i'll know when the time comes nga siguro.

panini- sis nabasa ko kasi usually +-2 weeks naman ng due date pede lumabas si baby, yun nga lang wag sumobra kasi baka makakain ng pupu.

[_AiaH_]

lakwatsa sis thank you sooo much for mentioning yung article ni rica peralejo sa blog nya about it. binasa ko and it's so inspiring! tama naman talaga sya. she underwent the lengthy and painful process of labor kasi she wanted so badly to have a natural birth kaso di nag descend si baby. napaisip tuloy ako, there's no way to determine CPD naman talaga unless nagllabor ka na and ayaw bumaba ni baby. so i have decided i'm going to go through everything para no regrets. mamaya papa-cs ako tapos kaya ko naman pala. umayaw lang kasi ako mag labor yun pala ending is pwede pero if magpacs ako agad hindi ko na malalaman na pwede, right? ok narin try ko lahat, para no regrets

preggygielian oo nga sis. kaya i'm still hoping makapag normal delivery ako.

abbmg sis i'd totally understand if magaabroad ka for baby lalo na sa situation mo. hindi ba pwede ibalik ni husband yung funds you gave sa di natuloy na plans nya? kasi naman the baby needs it more no pero you'll never know unless nandun ka na sa situation talaga haha. i remember officemate ko, planado lahat. uuwi province, dun magwwork and everything. ang ending nung nanganak, dinala dito sa manila ang baby at asawa dahil di nya kaya malayo si baby sa kanya hehe. total opposite of everything she planned. nagbago talaga lahat daw nung dumating si baby.

[tiggerlily]

_AiaH_: from the birth class, wala talagang accurate na makakapagtest kung kasya ba ang baby sa birth canal or what. pati yung option na x-ray - yes, there is such a thing. they use it for home births daw to make sure na kaya ang vaginal delivery for home births. pero yun nga hindi pa rin accurate. kasi pwedeng bumuka pa rin ang pelvic bones natin during birth. there was this couple who did the procedure dahil maghohomebirth sila. nadiagnose nga na hindi daw kasya si baby from the x-ray pero they still decided to do the birth at home. kaso nung naglelabor na sya ang tagal dumating ni midwife so nagready na sila to go to the hospital. while getting ready, nag-crown na yung baby at nanganak na sya vaginally syempre. biruin mo x-ray na yan ha hindi kapa kapa lang sa IE.

abbmg: sis, ang strong mo. hindi ko alam kung kakayanin ko kung sa akin mangyari. well, I don't know the whole story pero kakaunti pa lang ang naririnig ko e nanghihina na ako. it's good that you are fighting. I'm sure baby mo ang nagbibigay sa yo ng lakas. praying that things go well for you.

pray. pray. pray mga mommies. nothing is impossible with God. I have my fears too. lalo na at 1cm na ako although naka-funnel pa ang cervix ko. I still have 5 weeks to keep baby in (exactly 32 weeks today). keeping my legs together and trying to always put my feet up. deep breathing galore and tipid na tipid sa paggalaw. hopefully, maka-attend pa din ng breastfeeding class on saturday.

konti na lang graduation na tayo mga mommies. congrats ulit sa mga graduate na. hope you're getting enough help and sleep lately. I know the feeling from my first born. kaya yung mga first time moms, get all the sleep you can get now. once baby is out, you will be thankful for 4 hours of straight sleeping.

good vibes to everyone! hope you get all you want from your birth plans!

[lakwatsa]

waaahh hugs sis abbmg! just stay strong para kay baby ha.

@panini, oh meron pa palang internal at external na measurement. ngayon ko lang narinig yun. naku sana mag dilate na tayo at manganak na this January. hehe 

[marieisabel]

Hi mommies! I'm due March 26th, this is my first pregnancy and i'm 32 weeks & 3 days now. We are expecting for a baby boy kasi my younger sister has 2 girls, for a change naman ang baby boy pero since baby girl ang nakita, ok na ok parin samin. Excited na kami ni hubby!! Hindi ko pa naranasan mamanas kasi tagtag talaga ako sa lakad Nakakatuwa nga kasi nung nagpaultrasound ako, nakanguso na agad si baby. Daddy kasi niya manguso 

I'm learning a lot from you mommies already. Goodluck sa ating mga 1st quarter of 2015 babies

[preggygielian]

@lakwatsa & panini: Sana manganak na kayo this week!

@abbmg: hugs sis! Ang strong mo for your baby! Hindi ko alam gagawin ko kung ganyan mangyare saakin. Hindi mababawasan ang pagiging good mom mo kung ang plan mo is to work abroad. I hope madala mo si baby mo abroad para lagi mo siya makasama. Yung friend ko na sa taga SG na maiiwan baby niya if ever balik SG siya ulit, I'm trying to convince her na dito nalang sila mag-asawa sa HK hehe since ang company ng asawa ko naghahanap ng testers tapos may work visa pa and very easy to get their own place and helper para sama sama sila. Maybe you have friend who could try to help too.

@tiggerlily: Yes sis, totoo yan. pray lang ng pray! Sana makaabot ka ng 37 weeks or even 39! Sana makaattend ka ng breastfeeding class. Yun ang pinaka-naaliw ako na class sa buong birthing class namin.

[preggygielian]

Mga sis, I have a question. Kagabi kasi, may sumakit sa upper half ng tyan ko. As in parang humilab siya and I was lying on my left side at masakit tumihaya kaya nag all fours ako. Nawala naman after mga 3 minutes. Pero hindi naman nasundan. I don't think it was bowel movement...may nakaexperience na ba ng ganito?

Contractions niyo ba...buong tyan? half part lang? likod hanggang puson? etc etc? Napaisip lang ako kung ano yung naramdaman ko kagabi.

(Nakakainis na tong access denied thing na to ha! Ginagawa ko pag ayaw, balik ako sa list nung mga thread, click ng title ng thread then hit reply again then paste my response.)

[_AiaH_]

^ sis upper half? usually daw ang pain kasi from back going front e. madalas din sumasakit upper half ko kaso wala naman nangyayari. i guess it's just another intense BH contractions kasi walang ibang masakit bukod dun.

[preggygielian]

^Thanks for sharing sis Aiah! Term ka na diba? pwede na manganak anytime? Sa saturday ask ko ang OB ko. yun nga din kasi eh...ang madalas na nababasa ko eh from back to front na pain. Balitaan kita sis kung ano sabihin ng OB ko

[_AiaH_]

^ yup sis, term narin ako. excited na ako makita si baby. sana mag labor ako naturally. sabi ni OB, kapag nauna ang rupture ng bag of water ko kesa sa labor, iccs nya na ako diretso. nauuwi kasi madalas ang induction of labor sa cs kapag nagrupture BOW ng walang labor. para di narin ako mahirapan.

hay. i want a big family pa naman sana, hehe. i'm still hoping for normal delivery though. may 2 weeks pa kami ni baby

sige sis balitaan mo ako.

[preggygielian]

@aiah: sana sis makapag vaginal birth ka :-) yung kaopisina ko kanina kinwento niya sakin na dati din daw nagkakapain siya upper half lang. Tapos nung nagbreak daw ang water bag niya at 2am, nagstart daw sakit ng labour ng 3am by 8am out na di baby via NSD. Kala daw nung mga nasa hospital exag lang siya sa pain na nararamdaman niya...tapos 7cm na pala siya (pumasok siya ng hospital ng 1cm lang)!

[preggygielian]

Welcome to the thread sis marieisabel! Congrats on the baby girl! :-) nakakatuwa makita sa ultrasound mga babies natin noh? Hehe tapos malalaman lang na kamukha ng tatay hahaha! hope you have a smooth pregnancy! :-) isa isa na nanganganak dito sa thread! Exciting times ahead! :-)

[_AiaH_]

^ naku sis sana ganun din mangyari satin, hehe. kung magrrupture BOW natin sana may kasamang labor na gusto ko talaga mag-normal.

napapansin ko lang din, ang dami hindi nag labor on their own dito sa thread natin na nauwi sa CS. kaya ako worried narin talaga. pero papaabot ako 40wks. sana huhu mag labor ako.

[lakwatsa]

mga sis closed pa cervix ko as of yesterday. will be 40wks this Sat. si baby talaga sobrang enjoy pa. hehe

oo nga daw kapag BOW na yun pumutok asahan mo na ang matinding labor pains na kasunod nya e. sana mag fully dilate tayo at ma-keri ang NSD. 

[_AiaH_]

^ sis anong ceiling ni OB mo? akin kasi 40wks kapag di pa nanganak baka iinduce na ako e mauuwi sa CS yon dyosko. 38wks na kami kinakabahan na ako

[spiltmillc]

I havent posted here for quite sometime. I just read and take notes for the most part. 😊 anyway, hello again! I'm just really anxious to see my baby already. My OB told me 3 weeks ago (when i was 36 weeks and 2cm) that i could give birth the week after.. so i waited tapos wala. Haha! I'm exactly 39 weeks today and Nothing!!! i don't know kung ilang cm na ako now. I wish I knew how to check on my own 😂😂. The wait is killing me. I keep on walking na everyday this week. I've been taking primrose oil orally and inserted at night everyday now for 5 days. Ive been seeing little balls of blood in my pee sometimes too.
Yesterday, nesting was at an all time high. I vacuumed, mopped, wiped all my windows, changed all our sheets, rearranged babys clothes and the nursery, pickled some radish haha and gave our dog a bath. The house is completely spotless and ready for the baby. I actually thought getting myself super tired would initiate labor. Lol!

Anyway, i hope he comes out soon. I'm sure all you guys who are already full term as well are as anxious as I am.

Safe, quick and normal deliveries for all of us hopefully! 😊
