Babies due on SECOND QUARTER OF 2016 (APRIL, MAY, JUNE) - Thread 2

[PINKAHOLIC]

Yes tumutulo sya sis. I experienced nosebleeding last week 4times. Tapos nahihilo ko. Im 27 weeks na pala. At currently taking clusivol ob.

[coco_cola]

^Pagaling ka sis. Drink lotsa water.

Got my lab, urinalysis and OGTT results. Thank god my OB texted me that they are all normal.

May routine lab works and OGTT pa ba in the third trimester? Entering my third tri/28 weeks this week.

Girls, kelan niyo iinstall yung carseat niyo and when dapat iprepare yung hospital bag?

[simang]

Duhyan, yung cramps are they considered contractions? Are they painful? Wala naman ako naeexperience na anything painful but very frequent na tumitigas yung tummy ko, as in rock hard tigas, few seconds lang naman tapos nawawala din.

ghye, good to know na umikot na si baby mo.

Pinkaholic, get well. Baka stress related yan.. Nabanggit mo ba sa OB mo those incidences?

Coco_cola, good to know i had my lab done kanina and i dont have the results yet. Naloka ako sa fasting for OGTT sobrang gutom na gutom ako tapos after it was done hindi naman ako makakain ng maayos :/ sumama pakiramdam ko lol. I'm hoping for normal results too hayy sana walang maging problem. Medyo kinakabahan ako sa OGTT ko kasi may family history kami ng diabetes -_-

Det, we're planning to prepare our hospital bag by first week of March.. I'll be 27 weeks by then. Sana kumpleto na gamit ni baby by that time. Ayoko na paabutin ng 30 weeks na hindi kami ready. Ilang weeks ka na?

Who among you does regular exercise? My friend suggested that I do yoga to help with breathing. I will start on thursday. So hopefully maenjoy ko to and sana makahelp din with my shortness of breath.

[coco_cola]

Sis Simang, we have a history of diabetes also. So mejo aning din ako. So buti negative for GDM though Di naman Ako mahilig Sa sweets and I'm on the active side, pre pregnancy. Na stop Lang workout kasi low lying placenta Ako. But I was able to attend a few sessions of pre natal yoga. I recommend it. Not only for the breathing exercises part, but also to relieve your body with the growing aches and pains.

Yang contractions na yan is really bugging me. I do know that they come and go. But Ako kasi may times Na matigas tiyan ko (painless), like the whole day hehe, they don't go, so I don't think they are contractions.  And this happens when I'm bloated/constipated and/or after eating heavy meal. Di Lang Ako makapoo in a day, pangit Na ng feeling ng tummy Ko. Nangyayari din ba Sa inyo to?

My OB said contraction pains are like menstrual cramps.

Strong baby movements also cause some parts of my tummy to go hard/tight. Di kaya eto Yung nararamdaman mo, Sis Simang?

[kuplet]

Does anyone have any feedback on Dr. Diana Teresa Bongala? We are looking at switching OBgyn. Would appreciate recommendations in Makati/Taguig area.

[Ireneeeeee]

^Makati area? Ok si Dra. Mae Syki- Young from Makati Medical affiliated din sya sa St. Lukes. Very kikay and madaling mapalagayan ng loob hindi ka mahihiya magtanong tanong. She's very thorough too with tests and with 12 yrs experience kilala na sya dun. Disadvantage lang ang daming patients kaya you have to come early to be the first in line.

my tummy gets hard sometimes too. Minsan kapag super busog or nastress ako like malubak yun daan tapos natagtag or kapag matagal ako nakaupo pero it goes away din naman thank God.

Medyo constipated rin ako lately nagreseta pa si OB ng additional vitamin which is Iron na nakakaconstipate daw talaga. Kaya sabi ni OB drink lots of water and eat foods rich in fiber to help with the consti. Tried and tested ko na dito yun quaker oats or yogurt pampalambot and pang ease ng consti.

30 weeks na ako and wala pa ako naprepare na hosp. bag siguro after baby shower na lang para yun kulang nalang bibilhin ko hehe. Pero yun stuff ko aayusin ko na this weekend siguro. Sabi naman sa kabilang thread about hospital bag stuff usually kapag kay baby meron na ipprovide ang hosp. ayusin ko na rin kay hubby syempre hindi rin sya pwede pabayaan hehe

this weekend will go back to endo for follow- up sa GDM ko. so far it's very manageable naglax nga sya sa akin binigyan pa nya ako ng cheat day.

Biophysical Utz also went well last weekend despite the GDM thank God Pero hassle lang yun non stress test medyo matagal pala sya..like inabot ng 30 to 45 min. and medyo boring lol. maaaliw ka lang kasi papabilang yun movements ni baby sa tummy mo parang nagbobonding lang kayo ni baby haha!

[duhyan]

Sis simang, masakit sya pag bumabahing, umuubo or naglalakad ng matagal. Wala naman sinabi si Ob kung ano yon pero ask ko sya sa 22 sa checkup at 4D namen

[phibz]

34 weeks na ako pero wala pa akong handang gamit ng baby at hospital bag lang meron ako, walang laman. Nasa box pa yong tram, stroller at car seat, papa assemble ko pa sa asawa ko. Yong crib wala pang mattress at nasa opisina pa ng asawa ko. Naku parang ngangaragin ko na asawa ko nito. hahahaha

We will probably buy more stuff by first week ng march,  by then 36 weeks na ako. Isang tumbling na lang at waiting time na.

Same here yong tummy ko naninigas din lalo na pag nagwawalking ako sa malamig na panahon sa labas. Pag when I just ate and drank water ay bongga sa tigas talaga. Im starting to get scared na kasi palapit na ng palapit.

Good Luck to us mommy and soon to be mommy.

[det060403]

@simang 30-31 weeks na. Baka kasi masyado pang maaga para mag prep ako hehe.

^ako din, nasa box pa yung stroller and carseat. Hindi pa din nakasetup yung crib. Halos lahat ng gamit na binili ko naka plastic pa sa sulok ng room ni baby. Ang naiayos ko palang eh yung mga damit ng newborn. Napalabhan ko na. Hehe

[ghye]

^ ^^ tee hee!. Same here. Going 33 weeks na pero totally walang nakaready na gamit ni baby.  Sabi ko nga pag sakali mapa aga ako manganganak and hindi pa ready gamit ni baby, I will call my friend and ask her to bring her baby clothes at the hospital for my baby to use.  May 7 months old baby kasi sya and atleast may mga washed baby clothes sya for sure. 
I was planning to do the laundry and packing during the Holy Week break but seems gagahulin ako sa oras pag hintayin ko pang mag March.  Might as well bring out the tie sides and other baby stuffs we just brought to be washed na.  Lagi din naninigas tummy ko and lagi sumasakit likod ko and naprapraning tuloy ako na baka mapa aga ako manganak.  I stopped my every afternoon 30 minutes walk going home kasi mabigat na rin tummy ko.
Maybe this Saturday, I'll have my baby clothes washed na. 

[simang]

I'm also concerned kasi baka maaga din ako mapaanak, kaya medyo praning ako mag ayos ng gamit, lol. I mean, as early as 32 weeks kasi pwede na mag-labor. Ang sad part lang is we're moving to a new house and wala pang exact date kung kelan kaya di pa kami makapag ayos ng nursery. Excited pa naman ako dun i'm actually looking for ideas sa pinterest para sa magandang theme ng nursery. Yung crib, stroller, car seat, etc nasa bahay pa ng parents ko, hehe.

[ghye]

^Exactly. May nanganganak na at 30 weeks nga eh.  And to think pa na malaki baby ko. Estimated fetal weight niya at 32 weeks was 2.2kls.  Sabi ni OB, may nanganganak na at 2.2kls. hehe.  Actually, I already sorted out the old baby clothes and tie sides last month pa so I know what else is missing na bibilhin.  So all I have to do know is to bring them out for laundry.  Hope I can really do them this weekend.

[cescilay]

30 weeks na rin ako today but like you, hindi pa rin nakapag-pack ng gamit. Ang mga pinamili ko last month nasa plastic pa and may mga kulang na items pa ko. I plan to gather and pack everything next week. Nakaka-paranoid nga minsan thinking what if early ako manganak. Pero huwag naman sana.

[det060403]

Baka majinx ko kasi eh pag maaga ko nag prep ng gamit baka nga mapaanak nga ako ng maaga kasi nga ready naman na ko hahahahaha! Siguro by 32nd week unti untiin ko na magayos ng hospital bags namin magasawa and ni baby. Tapos sa latter part nalang ako magimpake ng clothes namin, kasi dun muna kami sa mommy ko few weeks before due date. Taga cavite kasi kami tapos yung ob ko nasa QC hehe... Yung car seat sa April ko nalang siguro painstall kay hubby, baka sabihin atat ako masyado lol! Pero sa totoo lang gustong gusto ko na talaga ayusin lahat ng gamit ni baby, naeexcite ako tignan yung mga damit niya, ang cute kasi ang liit liit. Haha
May tatlong hampers pa ko ng baby clothes pero pang age 6mos na yun pataas... Hand me downs from my sil. Pagdating nalang ni baby ko palalabhan.

[miyay]

32 weeks today.  Hingal na.  Di pa prepared hospital bag ko.  Siguro by 36th week.  Start na rin ako mag exercise by that time.  Praning lang sa PTL. 

Happy thoughts, sissies!

[yajale_22]

Mag 33 weeks na ko and wala pa din ako naprepare sa baby bag. Although nalabhan ko na lahat ng damit ni baby yung lampin na lang ang hindi kase kanina ko lang binili. Haha kala ko kase di ko na need nun pero sabi ng ob ko kelangan daw yun sa hospital. Yung crib di ko pa nabibili ang gulo kase ng mister ko gusto nya siya na bibili paguwi nya from abroad eh sa march 31 pa dating nya baka nakapanganak na ko nun. Eh nakakaawa din naman gusto nya kase mamili ng gamit for baby kaya siguro hayaan ko na siya ang bumili

[coco_cola]

Haha akala ko ako lang ang praning sa PTL, di pala. 😂 Ganito ba talaga? Hahaha

Saya ko now na 28 weeks na kasi it means, every two weeks na ang balik sa OB. 😄

[phibz]

Akala ko ako lang ang hindi pa handa, marami pala tayo at same same lang due date natin. This weekend maglalaba na talga ako ng mga baby clothes at yong mga towels etc etc.

Naku dito sa Denmark naniniwala sila sa jinx kaya nong maaga binili ng inlaws ko yong carseat at stroller, hindi ba naman pinatingnan sakin. Baka ma jinx daw. hahahha Ayan tuloy, until now hindi pa talaga na assemble.

Palagi kung minamassage asawa ko sa legs niya kasi nagkakacramps siya sa winter pero lately nagcocontractions ako pag nag eexert ng sobrang force kaya tumigil na ako. Mabilis na din ako mapagod at kakagising ko lang pero after 3 hrs aantukin na naman ako.

hayss konting konti na lang, malapit na din tayo. Kapit lang..

[ghye]

I already made a list on what to pack for the hospital bags. Baby essentials complete na, paglalaba na lang talaga kulang. hehe.  Napansin ko lang mommy's needs ang hindi ko pa pala nabibili like adult diapers/maternity pads.  Also what else is not ready, the final name for the baby. Baka pag lumabas na tsaka malalaman ano talaga magiging name niya.
We're all just counting weeks mga sis and soon we will be holding our little ones. Konting pagtitiis sa pagsakit ng mga balakang, likod, sa pag galaw ni baby sa loob, pregnancy insomnia.  Pero paglabas naman tiis tiis sa sleepless nights. hahaha
