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

[jeune]

I get ultrasound din every visit because I'm considered high risk, quick scan Lang naman ginagawa ng OB just to make sure heartbeat is fine and growth of the baby. For my 20th week appt naman next week doctor assigned for high risk patients will do my level 2 ultrasound and we'll find out the gender by then, excited Lang! Sa Pinas ba may blood test din ginagawa for 2nd trimester? I had 2 more tests done for 2nd trim, AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) & cystic fibrosis test.

Ako naman I only drink 2% milk every now & then

sis i_am_zayda, ako naglose ng around 5 lbs, mainly because wala akong ganang kumain lalo na sa gabi. wala din naman sinabi si OB saken about it. basta continue ko lang vitamins ko.

Im 11 wks preggy, going 12 wks in 2 days time. Naka 2 ultrasound na ko. Nung first check up nakita may bleeding so may binigay na gamot plus bedrest then after 2 wks ultrasound ulit. Wala na daw bleeding nun at ok naman heartbeat. Next check up ko is after a month na. Gusto ko ulit mag ultrasound nun. By that time I'll be 14 wks preggy na. Sa totoo lang gusto ko na ulit magpaultrasound agad, hindi ko na yata mahintay yun 1 mo pa. Haha!

Re: milk, binigyan ako enfamama. My God! Nasusuka ako pag inom ko sya. Pati feeling ko sumasakit ulo ko. Hindi talaga ko milk drinker. Ilan beses pa lang ako nakakainom. Ask ko nga ob ko kung pwede alternative na lang basta wag milk. Nun first pregnancy ko, iba pa yun ob ko. I remember she asked me kung milk drinker ako, I said no. So sabi nya pag 3 mos na ko bigyan nya ko calcium supplement. Meron na ba sa inyo na nagcalcium supplement instead of drinking milk?

[simang]

^im taking active calcium sis. Pero may milk pa din, pero kaka start ko lang ng milk 4 days ago..

[miyay]

19 weeks now.  Super likot ni bunso 😀

Mga sis, pwede kaya yung fresh milk nalang inumin kesa sa anmum? Hindi ko kasi gusto lasa and hindi talaga ako milk drinker. Fresh milk na hinahalo lang sa cereals ang kaya ko. Hehe

[bluish_mommy]

^pwede naman sis, kaso syempre magkaiba ang nutritional content ng 2 na yan. hindi lang naman calcium ang importante na makuha mo dapat sa milk. take note also of the DHA content.

[kirstenchelsea]

Thanks mga sis for the enlightenment re: ultrasounds.

Lactose intolerant naman ako kaya I'm not taking any milk. Instead, active calcium tablets yung tinetake ko. And also I get calcium from non-dairy food sources.

[bluish_mommy]

^importante na namomonitor ang baby talaga sis. baka may mga instances na may hemorrhage na pala, pero hindi alam ng doctor dahil hindi pina-ultrasound, na pwedeng magamot naman agad agad. at kailangan nakikita rin ang condition ng bata talaga sa loob, like kung may existing internal contraction or placentra previa, pwedeng maagapan agad kung makikita di ba. kaya wag ka matakot sa ultrasound, hindi naman yan iimbentuhin kung ika-ha-harm ng babies natin. just make sure your doctor knows what she's doing, baka gumamit ng doppler at early on, yun ang nakaka-harm talaga

My OB prescribed Calvit Gold: it has Calcium + Vitamin D which should go hand in hand.

I usually avoid dairy these days. Prior to my ovarian cancer diagnosis, nakakaubos ako ng 1 liter of cow's milk everyday since childhood. Cow's milk helps develop cancer pala

Ang rami palang artificial steroid hormones sa cow's milk: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26258087

Pero mahirap na tanggalin ang cow's milk in our culture

Mommies, please don't forget ask your OB about cervical funnelling scan from 19-24 weeks para maagapan agad if ever manipis na pala ang cervix nyo

[Miss Granger]

Sis Au -- Sarap pa naman ng cows milk. Hehe 

19 weeks now.  Super likot ni bunso 😀

Congrats sis 

[Ireneeeeee]

Hindi rin ako nagmimilk unless nakahalo sa cereals sa umaga lol. Lactose intolerant kasi ako and ang ginagamit kong milk is yun lactose- free pati. I was given calcium supplement by my OB, calciumade.

currently 18 weeks and medyo nafefeel ko na movements ni baby nakakatuwa

had my last ultrasound nung saturday pero not the one with the picture, parang fetal doppler device to monitor the heartbeat. congenital scan scheduled on Dec 12 malalaman na rin gender ni baby. Grabe ang bilis I still can't believe almost halfway na! Sana magtuloy tuloy na ok kami prayers lang lagi..praying for all of us sissies!

worry ko lang is magtatravel kami abroad sa December for the holidays, hindi pa ako binigyan ng clearance ni OB kasi valid daw yun for 7 days lang kaya bibigyan nya ako kapag malapit na travel date. Sana lang hindi ako low lying placenta para cleared na. Although unpredictable daw talaga ang pregnancy kaya bibigyan nya ako pampakapit pero it's still not 100% sure na safe kami. Pero kahit naman daw walang ginagawa ang mommy nangyayari pa rin ang complications minsan for no reason. And 90% naman ng preggos napapayagan magtravel as long as hindi pa ganun kalaki ang tummy.. keeping our fingers crossed!

@Ireneeeeee  Ako din sis nafi-feel ko na si baby. Parang bubble popping inside my tummy. Nakakakilig. haha! Started to feel this 17w2d. I'm 17w4d now.

[i_am_zayda]

ako kagabi after dinner. naka-upo ako sa may dining area namin and then I felt something sa tummy ko. hindi agad nagregister sa akin. after 1second lang after nangyari yung movement na na-realize ko na mukhang si baby yun ah.. parang dalawang beses na sumipa eh... Im 16 weeks pregnant..

[cescilay]

I've read na usually ma-feel natin sila if nakaupo or nakahiga. True enough nakaupo ako when naramdaman ko sya. From then on everyday ko na sya nafi-feel. Ang saya ko lang.

[duhyan]

Thank you bluish_mommy!
Ask ko nalang si ob about alternatives

19 weeks na din ako sa Friday pero di ko pa siya nafi-feel.  May konti pero feeling ko hangin lang. I can't wait to feel my baby's movements.

[nixmusic]

Ten weeks now! Excited for the second baby

[duhyan]

May baby bump na ba kayo mga sis? Hehe
Ako kasi maliit pa, muka pa din daw akong busog..pero matulis at mabilog naman.
Hindi ko pa din alam kung nafeel ko na ba si baby. 16 weeks now.
