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

[coco_cola]

Hi Mommies,

Joining the thread I'm 18+2 weeks now. EDD is first week of May. Pero paaga ng paaga kasi lumalaki si baby. My last ultrasound was when I was 17+5 weeks. Pang 19 weeks na size ni baby. LMP is August 8 (wedding day also) 😁 He's a boy! Madali nakita kasi posterior yung location ng placenta.

I can already feel baby's movements. I can already see small movements from my tummy. Soo cute!

Question, ano ba feeling ng contactions? They say menstrual cramps like. When I was still getting my period, I get menstrual cramps as in the super painful nakakahimatay type. So baka ma confuse ako at yun yung hanapin ko na feeling ng contraction. 😂

Sisses, sabi ng friend ko, may annual sale ang Baby & Co, every January, magaganda daw ang offers (naka 20k cya last January) so intayin natin ito!

Ako rin, my OB changed my multivitamins na from ELEVIT to OB SMART (grabe, napakalaki ng capsule na ito...). Then, nag add din cya ng IRON at CALCIUM (twice a day dahil ayaw ko ng milk).

after 3 days, grabe ang constipation ko. she warned me about this dahil daw sa iron supplements. she advised me to take more water kaso hindi rin talaga ako mahilig sa water...huhu.

So, through research, ang naging remedy ko na super succesful ay BOB'S RED MILL GROUND FLAXSEED! i highly suggest this sisses! Binibili ko cya sa HEALTHY OPTIONS. take the ground version para mas maaabsorb ng katawan. what's good about it e hindi cya nakaka alter ng lasa. ang ginagawa ko lang e hinahalo ko siya sa rice ko every meal. medyo may kaunting nutty flavor pero it's really okay kahit ano pang ulam mo. you can actually also mix it sa smoothies/shakes.

^ ako naman mga sis kahit i'm taking iron vitamins hindi naman ako nagkakaproblem sa pag poop... kaya nga i'm happy kasi everyday ako naglalabas ng toxins. sis momsypips bakit pinalitan ng OB mo yung multivitamins? I'm taking also Elevit eh.

Mamaya may check-up kami ni baby. Hopefully i-ultrasound ako today ng doctor para malaman gender ni baby. Wish us luck mga sis na sana okay din ang mga findings kay baby kapag nag-ultrasound.

^^I'm also taking Elevit during the first trimester. Then when 2nd trimester started, my OB added calcium and iron supplement.

The first few weeks of my first trimester I was constipated, but nag adjust din. I drank more water as in super dami. I also make sure that I eat fruits and veggies daily. Ayun regular relaxed poop in the morning. Kaya lang it's dark due to iron supplement.

I also became constipated for a week when my OB added iron pero nakapag adjust din.

I think water, fruits/veggies, and exercise yung solution ko for my constipation.

On my second pregnancy, hoping for a baby girl. 

EDD: April 9,2016 pero feeling ko March lalabas na si bibi 

Same EDD here. I'm having a boy again.

[nestea_dell]

EDD: June 20, 2016!

Currently 3weeks and 4 days na. First time pregnancy din

[momsypips]

@i_am_zayda sis sabi ni OB yung elivit ay advisable sa first trimester, parang ibang concentration na ng mga vitamins yung needed for 2nd trimester kaya she changed it to OB smart na (plus iron and calcium).

good luck sa ultrasound sis! :-) and yes, sana maging ok lahat ng babies natin :-)

sorry pero parang nalito ako, how come you're only 3wks and 4days lang today if your EDD is on June 20?

[Wantstobeamom]

We are having a baby girl, nag commit na OB ko kasi talagang pinakita ni baby "goods" nya lol.
So excited kasi girl talaga gusto ng asawa ko.  Ako naman walang preference basta healthy.

[i_am_zayda]

naku mga sis, conservative ang OB ko. hindi kami nag-ultrasound yesterday. next year na daw namin check ang gender ni baby. yung CAS ko ine-sched nya ng Jan. 9. kala ko pa naman mag-ggender reveal kami sa family ng Christmas. Well, kung mas magiging sure ang gender ni baby sa Jan okay lang, para wala ng bawian...

Hindi naman binago ng Doctor ko yung Elevit. Ituloy  ko lang daw. tapos I am taking Calcidin also. Right now di ako nag-iiron supplement kasi sabi naman ng doctor ko okay naman yung dugo ko. kaya sabi nya pwede din hindi ako mag-additional iron supplement.

-- hello sa mga bagong mommies!   

-- sis ang laki nga ng OB Smart, haha kaloka pag iinumin kelangan dami mo water, hirap swallow, haha.

-- Si OB, nagbigay pala ng senecot for constipation sinasabayan ko din ng fruits at water para hindi ko na need mag meds. 

[duhyan]

Agree! Ang laki talaga ng OB Smart. Feeling ko pag nilulunok ko naiiwan pa sya sa throat ko, haha need talaga madaming water.

eklea123 Sis wag masyado mag worry mas mtanda ako sa inyo 34 na ako, I will be 35 pagkapanganak.  I had all the tests kasi part ng routine check up nila dito that includes test for Down's, baby is ok all tests are normal.  Pati ako di high risk which is isa sa kintatakutan ko kasi advance maternal age na nga.  Basta sabi ng doctor wag masyado mag rely sa age, its just a number. Ang important watch what we eat at kung di high risk mag exercise.

ayun nga po kaya nabother ako why at my age (31) High risk ako, all nuchal results ni baby are okay ang down side lang iyong result sa bloodtest ko which is a bit far sa normal range. I do not want to go for another diagnostic test to confirm it and optional naman daw iyon and my hubby ayaw din, wala rin naman daw sila magagawa if naconfirm sa next test na may DS siya so we'll just accept whatever he/she is. I am up to another check up with an OB sa 29th and I hope I get great advise. I'm not too worried na at this point hindi ko na iniisip basta i'm happy that i passed my first trimester and my bump is starting to show na 

[Wantstobeamom]

@eklea123  iba iba lang talaga siguro.  Tama yan wag mo na masyado isipin just enjoy pregnancy.  May ka work ako diagnosed din ng DS anak nya.  37 na siya, pero nung pinanganak nya inassess yung baby wala naman.  Her baby will celebrate his first bday na this Saturday, so far with all his check-up no trace of Down's.

@littlekinselle - june 3rd EDD ko una ka 1 day hehe pero I guess mababago pa.. that's my 40th week

My EDD is June 6, 2016. Nafi-feel nyo ba na masakit pwet nyo? Ako kasi pag umuupo super sakit! Ang alam ko pag buntis sumasakit yung balakang, likod o tuhod. I'm wondering kung ako lang ba sumasakit pwet o normal lang yun? By the way, nag bedrest ako for 1 month more than a month ago. So dun nagstart yun kasi siguro laging nakahiga o kaya upo lang. Tapos nung nalift na bedrest ko, after 3 wks medyo nabawasan na yung sakit. Pero this week lang super sumasakit na naman sya.

[Wantstobeamom]

@bk It's your tailbone yata sumasakit sis, just like me mga 16 weeks ako.  Panay upo lang kasi ako sa office.  Kaya I bought back rest and a small pillow naging ok naman na.


Mga mommies tanong ko lang are you still driving?  I feel ok naman kaya lang I get a lot of comments na dapat di na ako nagddrive lalo na dito na snowy normally the comments are  from my Filipino friends  pero yung mga puti sabi naman nila safe at sila nga daw hanggang kabuwanan nagddrive pa. Pati si hubby parang ayaw na nya magdrive ako.  This morning lang na stuck ako sa snow and wala ako choice but to dug my car out sa snow, talagang shovel.  I tried to take it slow naman at di nag panic  thinking about the baby but still I am worried. 

[bk]

^yes sis, specifically yung tailbone. Pag nakaupo ako tapos tumayo, ayun sobrang sakit. Sabi din ng friend ko try ko daw yun back rest o kaya upuan ko yung neck pillow. I'll try neck pillow muna kasi meron ako nun. Yung backrest saka ko na try pag may nabili na ko.
