Babies due on SECOND QUARTER OF 2016 (APRIL, MAY, JUNE)

[bluish_mommy]

^hindi lahat nag-a-avail ng CAS. for some especially if the pregnancy is high-risk, this is recommended.

[cescilay]

- Fortunately for me, almost all fruits kinakain ko. And I'd rather do the natural way (with papaya) than take fiber drinks/supplements.

- Hindi rin na-mention sa akin ni OB about CAS. Going on 17 weeks na ako.

[bluish_mommy]

^^try mo rin to add Kiwi in your diet. di rin ako nawawalan nyan. it's full of fiber as in =)

[bluish_mommy]

^hehe nakaka-infuse sis 

iniwasan ko rin yang pineapple kahit sa baby #1 ko dati, better be safe than sorry di ba 

[au_chic]

My perinatoligist scheduled my CAS at 22 weeks para mas kita ang outflow tracts ng heart ni baby. Considered high risk raw ako kasi IVF and cancer patient

[Miss Granger]

-- Sis blu, do you have any specific diet/ set of meals you often eat everyday?

-- Sis Au, i hope everything will be all right. Pray din tayo

[bluish_mommy]

^ang mga iniiwasan ko lang kainin: too salty, too oily and too sweet. Wala akong particular na diet talaga, I eat almost everything pero dinadamihan ko fruits: papaya, apple, strawberries, banana, mango at watermelon, then iwas pinya ako.

Mga sis, nakakailan ultrasound na kayo? Im on my 15th week pero nakakaisa p lang ako na ultrasound that was during my 7th week nung ki-nonfirm ng OB ko napreggy ako...

[au_chic]

^sis, every 2 weeks ako before 14th week (I have ultrasounds even w/o ob's request). After that, with ob's request, every month na

Miss Granger, thanks sis

[cescilay]

Twice pa lang ako. First OB's request then second dahil gusto ko lang. I would love it if every month sana kaso wala namang request si OB so my ever masunurin na asawa di din payag to have it done every month.

[i_am_zayda]

Ako din mga sis, gusto ko sana na every check-up namin sa OB mag ultrasound kami. So normal lang pala na hindi nga lagi nag-uultrasound. Like sau sis @cescilay yung pangalawa ultrasound dahil gusto mo lang, si sis @au_chic nagpapaultrasound n wala request ni OB..

[duhyan]

Ako din twice palang.  sana pwede every week ano. Hehe kaya lang baka naman masama sa baby

[kirstenchelsea]

As per my OB, hindi raw advisable to do ultrasounds regularly kasi naeexpose daw sa heat is baby which is bad.

[bluish_mommy]

Depende, if the pregnancy is high-risk it is normal na laging inu ultrasound. Bakit naman ako noon with my baby #1 every visit inuultrasound ako, TVS during 1st tri and doppler nung malaki na tyan ko, and yet i gave birth to a healthy baby.

May mga doctor talagang hindi mahilig sa ultrasound.

[Miss Granger]

Ako once palang na ultrasound, un confirmation din for baby and somehow to check na din siguro kung tama un bilang ko from my LMP. 

Next ko na ata before meeting OB sa Dec, un mga baseline tests daw like sugar, cbc etc. 

Ano milk nio mommies? Kasi sa observation ko lang ha, parang nakaka dagdag sa consti ko un milk na iniinom ko naun (1st is anmum then enfamama bigay ni OB) 

[simang]

^same tayo sis, once pa lang din ultrasound ko for confirmation lang ng AOG.. although my SIL said na sinabi daw sa kanya ng doctor nya before na hindi nga maganda ang frequent sonogram. and because my partner is so very careful with my pregnancy, ayaw na nya magpaultrasound kami until the 7th month -_- sabi ko na lang we'll just ask our OB when we go back sa december.

for me naman, milk makes me poop. i'm taking anmum. lalo na if i drink it mga 9 or 10 pm before sleep, expect ko na magigising ako ng mga 1 or 2am for number 2.

[i_am_zayda]

Sis @Miss Granger... may nakapag-sabi sa akin na preggy din na hindi sya ina-advise ng OB nya na mag milk ng mga anmum kasi nga nakaka-constipate.

Ako, hindi pa ako binibigyan (ewan ko lang kung bakit hindi pa) pero aside kasi from may OB nagpupunta ako sa Endocrinologist ko kasi before pa ako na-preggy nasa borderline na ako ng diabetes and sabi ng doctor ko, wag daw ako uminum ng mga anmum kasi mataas daw sa sugar.

ang iniinom ko lang low-fat milk every night before going to bed. yun daw ang gawin kong "midnight snack" sabi ng endo ko...

By the way sis, may mga nakaka-experience ba dito na bumababa ang timbang? Ako nung first na malaman na preggy ako i was 114lbs. and then ngayon last check-up ko bumaba sa 112lbs. although wala naman sinabi ang OB regarding may weight. take note hindi naman grabe ang experience ko sa morning sickness, hindi ako picky sa pagkain (although siguro ang culprit eh 1cup brown rice ang kinakain ko every meal - dahil nga siguro sa diabetes)

[au_chic]

As per my OB, hindi raw advisable to do ultrasounds regularly kasi naeexpose daw sa heat is baby which is bad.

Doppler ultrasound lang ang bawal sa first trimester. Eto yung may "heat" that can damage the placenta doppler should only be done at 18 weeks and above.

Normal ultrasound can be done anytime and kahit ilan ang gusto mo. Your OB's just don't want you to spend more than necessary kasi hindi cost-effective if hindi naman high-risk pregnancy. My OB is the training officer at PGH. He has trained generations of OB-gyne's in PGH the past decades. I believe he's more reliable

Re: Anmum. You don't need it. It will only increase your blood sugar. Vegetables have more calcium than cow's milk

[cescilay]

Advise din sa akin ni OB anmum but when I told her na hindi ako umiinom everyday, sabi nya ok lang. Once or twice a week lang yata ako umiinom. As long na we eat right naman, our babies will be fine.

[bluish_mommy]

with my 1st child, Anmum ang ininom ko, hindi naman ako nagka gestational diabetes. and now with baby #2 Enfamama ang nireco ng OB ko, mas mataas kasi ang DHA content neto, very essential yan lalo na sa brain development ng bata. I am sure hindi ko nakukuha ang tamang nutrition sa normal na pagkain lang.
