First time mom

[Mommychinita18]

Hi Sissies! I'm 24 and pregnant on my first baby, sabi ng OB 7 weeks daw. I had my TVS yesterday and sobrang excited kami ng boyfriend ko  Anyone na nahihirapahan kumain? kasi pakiramdam ko busog ako lagi at wala akong gustong kainin. Iniisip ko palang ang food, nasusuka na ko.

Alam niyo din ba kung ano yun PCOS? di ko pa kasi napakita sa OB ko yung result ng TVS. May nakalagay kasi dun na Policystic Right Ovary.

[pandoralover]

Hi sis! Congratulations! I had so many food aversions too during my first trimester na I really had trouble eating. I lost a lot of weight between my 4th-13th week grabe Normal talaga walang gana and personally wala rin akong cravings that time. Pero nag improve naman na on my 2nd trimester. I'm already on my way to my 3rd trimester

I had that diagnosis din (polycystic ovary, forgot which one) during my 8th week scan pero my OB told me to shrug it off lang kasi hindi naman siya naging problem with conceiving.

First time mom din ako. I'm on my 7th month. first trimester ko hirap din akong kumain, lahat ayaw ko pero pinipilit ko for my baby. Nagkaron din ko ng heartburn every after meal making it harder for me to eat. I even lost 2-3 lbs. Pero bumalik ang appetite ko nung mga 14 weeks na ako. Ngayon pigil naman sa pagkain hehe

Hi sisses! Sali ako First time mom din, took us 4 years to conceive. 10 weeks na kami ni baby today. Nung first few weeks grabe ang takaw ko, super bloated din. Nung 7th-9th week grabe yung hilo ko. Magana naman ako kumain, pero after kumain feeling ko nasusuka naman ako though wala naman ako nilalabas. Iba lang feeling sa sikmura, saka naglalaway din. Nakakapanghina nga, gusto ko na matapos ang 1st tri. Nagwowork ba kayo mga sis? Paano nyo nababalance yung work at preggy symptoms? Kainggit yung mga nakakapasok sa office na preggers tapos hindi hirap sa preggy symptoms nila. Pero ayos lang, lahat kayang tiisin para kay baby.

Hi mga sis!

Going 12 weeks na kami ni baby this week. And wala kong morning sickness(nahihilo, nagsusuka,etc). Minsan nga nabobother ako dahil wala man lang akong ganun, pero thankful na din ako kasi nga hindi ako pinapahirapan ni baby.
Ang preggy symptoms ko lang is feeling tired and sleepy lagi. Kahit wala akong ginagawa. And nagwowork pa din ako Yung antok lang ang struggle sakin pagnasa office, but other than that, so far smooth naman ang pregnancy.

Mga sis, tuwing kelan kayo nagpapaultrasound? Ako kasi every 2 weeks, to make sure na okay si baby coz yung 1st pregnancy ko ended up in miscarriage. Pero parang ang tagal ng 2 weeks, gusto ko lagi kong nakikita si baby! hahaha

[fionaapple]

^at 22 weeks and 4 days, still reporting for work. kanina, ipinagdrive ako ng husband ko dahil puyat ako. pero until now talaga, nagdadrive pa rin ako. wala rin akong morning sickness. yun lang may sipon at ubo ako ngayon.

pareho tayo feeling tired and sleepy. medyo tinatamad ako magtrabaho. hehe.

[caterpillar-girl]

First time mom here din. I'm 35 weeks and 4 days now. And yes pumapasok pa rin ako sa office. Ok lang naman daw sabi ng OB.

First tri ako pinakanahirapan. I just felt so nauseous all the time, and tired, sluggish. Morning sickness galore. Gusto ko lang humilata buong araw. I don't know how I managed to drag myself to work although I do remember one or two days na nag leave ako kasi hindi ko talaga kinaya. Hehe. Wala. You just gotta do what you gotta do. I brought zip loc bags (just in case I throw up on the way to the office, which has happened to me) and food and water.

Best time talaga is 2nd tri!

[crzysxycl]

^Naexcite ako sa 2nd tri sis dahil sa sinabi mo.

A friend told me bawal daw mag pluck.. True ba sisses? Hindi ko natanong kay OB ito last time kasi pareho kami nakafocus sa SCH ko. Shave tuloy ang peg ko ngayon, kaso pangit ng tubo ng balahibo pag shave. Ask ko lang din, ano gamit nyong lotion? Gusto ko kasi organic sana pero di masyadong mabango, may asthma kasi ako kaya pag super bango, sinisipon ako tapos diretso ubo na.

[Which is Witch?]

sis fionaapple, wahhhh! Nagddrive padin ako! I have no choice. Hahaha. ako din may sipon na naman, at parang masakit lalamunan ko. Pero hindi parin ako nainom ng gamot, calamansi juice at nebulize lang. Ikaw ba sis? nainom ka meds? pagaling ka sis!

sis caterpillar-girl, ilang weeks nlng pala sayo sis! take care!

sis crzysxycl, naalala ko nung magpapathreading ako ng eyebrow, ask ka if pregnant or if my period, tas pagsinabing pregnant hindi ka nila iaaccept. hehe. di ko sure kung bawal, baka dahil masakit? hehe. pero para sure nga shave shave nalang! tiis tiis muna. Di pa ko naglolotion, para kasing di pa lumalaki yung tummy ko, parang puro fats palang. Haha pero sabi nga as early as now, start na daw yung mga anti stretchmarks lotions

^ pareho tayo sis. malapit na ako mag 23rd week pero nagda drive pa rin ako. kahapon lang ako hinatid kasi malala yung ubo at sipon ko kahapon. hindi pa rin ako umiinom ng gamot. 1000 mg na vitamin C at water therapy. pero kanina umaga sabi ko magdadrive na ako. ok lang naman, comfortable naman ako sa pagdadrive.

^regarding Lotions: Which is Witch and crzysxycl, naglolotion ako. sensitive din ako sa strong smelling scents. I use Human Heart Nature Baby Lotion. so far, at 22 wks and 5 days, wala pang stretch marks. mura pa, especially kasi I am a dealer . after kasi ng miscarriage ko, nagregister ako as dealer ng HHN kasi gusto ko gamitin mga natural products.

[crzysxycl]

^may baby lotion pala HHN. Nag dealer din ako pero hindi na active. Makapag reactivate nga hehe. Thanks sis!

Hi mga sis! First Time Mom here as well.

I'm on 31weeks now. Share ko lang din yung experience ko nun first trimester, always bloated and walang food na naiintake kasi lagi kong sinusuka. As in super nastressed ako nun kasi i'm worried na baka wala ng nutrients si baby na nakukuha. Tho my OB said its ok and normal. super nag lost weight ako nun 2nd-3rd months ko for more than 10kgs! then my nawala siya nun nag 5th month na ako. And finally the golden trimester..the 2nd trimester..haha bawi ng kain.only raw food and caffeine food/drinks lang di ko kinakain.. then now on my third trimester, the discomfort feeling dahil sa sakit sa likod at hirap na matulog. tho im keeping myself na humiga to my left kasi ito ang healthy for blood circulation ng baby at para sa akin according to my OB. almost mag 8months na ako..and super excited and scary na ng feeling.

naisip ko lang mga sis..gawa tayo ng FB group so we can share our experience and ask advise that would be very helpful para sa atin mga first time mom..

What do you think?

[chikit]

FTM din ako pero mag 7 months na si LO ko next week.  It's true pinaka matiwasay ang 2nd tri.  Ako naman noon ayoko ng manok lalo na pag fried.  Sumusuka ako pag naamoy ko yun eh hello naman sa baba ng office namen may KFC saka Mcdo across naman Jollibee ang hirap.  Kaya nung manganak ako fried chicken agad kinain ko.

Maselan ako sa amoy weekly ata ako magpalit ng lotion hanggang sa napagod ako sa gastos hindi na talaga ako nag lotion hanggang manganak.  Kaya eto hanggang ngayon inuubos ko yung mga lotion na pinagbibili ko pero di ko ginamit noon kase nababahuan ako.

If may PCOS ka congratulations at buntis ka.  Ang dami PCOS na hirap mabuntis isama mo na ako na 9 years nag antay bago kame nagka anak.

Kaya nyo yan.  Kapit kapit lang and higit sa lahat be happy para happy din si baby.

Hi miss coder, same here. almost 32 weeks na ako, ilang weeks nalang!   I want to join a Facebook group din of first-time moms. Sino kaya swede gumawa? I have so many concerns on baby needs, breastfeading, and postpartum and it's great if we have somewhere na we can share.

[caterpillar-girl]

^^Hi misscoder and pandoralover, may group sa FB na  First Time Moms PH ata yung name. I joined a few months ago. Hindi pa sya super duper active, pero may ilan ilan na din nagpopost.

For other groups, you can check out: Breastfeeding Pinays, Babywearing Philippines

If you're planning to breastfeed and babywear. Note lang, Breastfeeding Pinays is an advocacy group. Some moms there are really, TRULY, breastfeeding advocates. As in tipong, hardcore breastfeeding nazis. Pero helpful naman some of the topics.

Hello! Ftm here and my baby's 5weeks old now.  Minsan  i miss being pregnant. As in yung feeling na may baby ka pero you can still do whatever and go wherever without the whole production number pag may baby na. Lol!

Enjoy your pregnancy lalo na sa mga nasa 2nd tri. That's the most "fun" i think. Kasi sa 3rd tri minsan  ang bigat na ni baby. Pero nothing beats being able to kiss and hold your baby pa din ü

[fionaapple]

^hi skela96c! nanganak ka na pala. still on my 2nd trimester...23 weeks and 4 days pa lang ako. nababasa ko lang mga posts mo sa how to prevent stretchmarks thread. congratulations!

[simang]

Congrats on your baby sis skela69!

We're 19 weeks on the way, so far baby's doing very well. We don't know the gender yet pero we're scheduled for 2nd tri ultrasound at the end of this month. Excited na kami malaman if boy or girl but I have a strong feeling na kung ano. Even my husband (everyone around us, actually, lol) thinks the same. Yesterday first time din namin magshop for baby, few newborn onesies and socks lang naman. Naka-sale kasi sa H&M so we took advantage, hehe.

Hello sissies! First-time mom din ako and just joined GirlTalk. After 4 years of waiting, finally going 6 weeks na kami ni baby. I am turning 42 y/o this month kya sobrang thankful kami ni hubby for this privilege. Although during my 1st prenatal checkup last week, wala naman advice ang OB about bed rest, pero we decided on our own lang na mag-rest as much as possible. Buti na lang din parehong homebased ang work namin. Ang pinaka-challenge ko ngayon ay yung mapait na panlasa especially pag walang laman ang bibig ko and yung nanghihina ako esp sa amoy ng mga mamantikang ulam.

Thank you for sharing your experiences, especially yung pag 2nd tri pala usually gumaganda ang pakiramdam.

Here's praying that we'll all have a joyful, healthy and safe pregnancy.
