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

[phibz]

Parehas pala tayo sis Eklea, nasa foreign land. Ang hirap no? Iba pa din yun nasa sarili kang bansa pero at least dito sa Europe maalaga sila sa mga pasyente at free din lahat kaya di na lang ako aangal talaga.

Malapit na din ako, 2 weeks na lang hintayan na.
Isipin mo na lang sis hindi mo naranasan yong andaming sakit sakit sa katawan pag malapit na kasi mahirap din. We will pray for  you and your baby.

[Wantstobeamom]

@Eklea I can relate sis, kami lang din ni hubby andito sa abroad.  But let's think the positive side nalang mas advance sila dito and okay ang health care na wala kang inaalalang bayarin.    Your baby will be fine. Will keep you in our prayers.

@sis phibz and wantobeamom-- that's one of the blessing I am thankful for, I had him in a country like Oz where may advanced facilities and hospitals na makakaalaga talaga sa case niya. wala naman kami masabi sa alaga at attention na binibigay nila sa akin and my baby. yun lang eh this is is myfirst pregnancy and first time Din no families around. I am used to be an independent woman since 20yo but not with this kind of situation I still need them for help and support pero wala ko magagawa. Due to some issues on papers hindi pa makapunta mom ko it may take a while kaya i'm struggling and thAt's one of the things na gumugulo sa isip ko what will happen to me after madischarge dito sa ospital and after papasok na asawa ko... i'm trying not to entertain those thoughts pero you can't help eh... thank you for your support mga sisses and all the gtalk sisses reading this thread... we can get through with this, true na pregnancy is the most exciting and most thrilling moment din of our lives. you will really never know what God is planning for us we just have to enjoy and be prepared...

Keep strong, Sis.  Will keep you in my prayers.
I have a friend who had PTL at 26 weeks 2 years ago.  Grabe yong pinagdaanan nila ng hubby niya.  Physically dahil puyat sa kakapump and hatid ng milk sa hospital every 2-3 hrs for almost 2 months.  Emotionally dahil first baby nila.  Financially dahil may limit din insurance ng company. Daming therapy but baby is progressing well inspite of some delays.  It is so amazing seeing him and my friend.  We women are such strong creatures.  I'm sure you will pull through 😀

Been having BH lalo pag napapagod. Should it be a concern? Medyo scary kasi sunod sunod.

[coco_cola]

Sis, ilang weeks ka na diba malapit ka na? I read that BH should be painless, walang pattern and are like practice labors. This is frequent on the third trimester.

Have you drinking water and lying on your left side everytime you're having BH? Time mo yung frequency then text your OB about it.

[simang]

^^BH are not supposed to be painful daw, and usually comes and goes.. I experience that din and everytime i change positions or take a deep breath unti unti nawawala sya. Also random times sya nangyayari so walang regular intervals. If sunod sunod and close intervals you need to inform your OB..

[det060403]

31-32 weeks. Hindi naman painful, naninigas lang talaga siya, wala din pattern ang intervals at duration, basta bigla nalang. Today wala naman pa ko episodes ng bh, yung last time kasi ang tagal at ang lakas, i dunno kung related yun sa pagod ko that day, pero ngayon minomonitor ko nalang muna kung magcocontract ulit tsaka ko nalang inform yung ob ko. Pero sana wala lang talaga.

[phibz]

sis Det
Same tayo pero sabi ng midwife ko normal lang daw yan. Im 34 weeks plus 5. Sakin talga pagpasok ng 34 weeks medyo nafefeel ko na. Yong parang youll get dysmenorrhea tapos may cramps sa lower abdomen but tolerable naman siya. Mine will last nga mga 10 mins. As long as walang water na kasama at walang bleeding normal lang siya. Medyo nag stop ako sa walking kasi na worry ako, continue ko na lang pag pasok ko ng 37 weeks. At least doon anytime pwede na lumabas si baby. Higa higa na lang palagi, para akong nag bed rest at this moment kasi balik din yong pagiging antokin ko. Inom lang plenty of water talga. Minsan kasi pag dehydrated ka kaya ka nagka BH.

Kaya natin to!

[det060403]

No alarming BHs yesterday. Naninigas lang talaga siya. Yung feeling na parang nagstretch si baby sa loob tapos slow motion siya bumalik. Lol! Napansin ko din medyo humina yung movements niya ngayon, compared sa dati na kung manipa eh parang may pinaglalaban lol! Sabi, ganon daw talaga kasi by this time malaki na siya and probably running out of room to move a lot. Mas malikot siya ngayon pero hindi na yung likot niya before na sobrang kagulat... Or siguro kasi sanay na din ako. Hehe!

[coco_cola]

Oo sis, pag gumagalaw talaga si baby, [textspeak!] portion na nasaan siya naninigas talaga, but the rest of the tummy should not. May times nga na parang nag stretch/move si baby tas hindi siya babalik sa position, ginagawa ko I change position.

Now, at 29 weeks, very noticeable na ang movements and frequency. As in kitang kita na. Sooo adorable!

thank you sis, I'm coping up each day..we visit him 3 times a day. I'm staying sa hospital compound while nasa nicu siya to come and see him often as many times as I want. I had my first breastmilk the other day and takbo agad kami sa nicu for the nurses to feed him that. pump ako every 3hrs kahit onti lang lumalabas.. supportive naman mga lactation consultants nila.. I was able to do the kangaroo care kanina and Thank God he's in good condition at 5 days old papalakasin nalang with enough vits sabi ng pedia..

[coco_cola]

^So happy for you sis. I admire you for your strength.

Your baby is doing really well, kudos also sa healthcare jan. And yay you have breastmilk na! Tuloy tuloy na yan!

God bless and just continue to pray! Soon, makakalabas na kayo ni baby.

[lucky7]

Hi mommies/soon to be mommies, did your ob discuss about anaesthesia to be given during delivery? My doctor gave me 2 options, twilight or epidural. Which one do you prefer?

[phibz]

@sis Lucky

I wish I have that option here pero sad to say normal delivery advocate ang hospital dito sa Denmark. Bibigyan ka lang nila kung necessary, other than that tiis tiis talaga. Medyo kinakabahan na nga ako kasi low ang pain tolerance ko sa dysmenorrhea eh sabi pa naman nila 50 times na masakit pa yun.

If given the chance, ill pick epidural. Epidural din kasi mga friends ko sa Pinas. Ok namna daw, mafefeel mo pa din but tolerable na lang siya.

[coco_cola]

Hi Sis Empress!

Results were fine. Thank god I passed all three blood tests. I was also worried because father's side has a history of diabetes.

Di naman ako mahilig sa sweets though malakas ako sa rice. 😁

Good luck and God bless sis!

[coco_cola]

^Around that time sis sporadic pa talaga movements ni baby. Depende rin kasi sa position ni baby.

When I entered 27 weeks dun naging regular movements ni baby. Massive movements sa right ribs and tagiliran, which I assume legs/feet ni baby Like after meals, when I change position especially if nakahiga sa kama. Parang anak, natutulog ka pa ba? hehe

Don't worry sis. Kung gusto mo siya pagalawin or gisinging drink something sweet or malamig. 😁

[theEmpress]

^^ thanks sis, first time mom, and high risk so lahat ng ka-praningan I go through. Sakit na nga ulo ko kakabasa lahat ng baby books to educate myself. I'm doing this alone so andyan din ang emotional strain. But everyday with my baby is a blessing indeed.

[eklea123]

thank you sis sa prayers and support.. trying hard ako magpump lahit oonti lang, will try malunggay soup kasi lumalakas ang need niya ng milk.. happy pregnancy sis.. enjoy and pray for safe delivery..

[lucky7]

@sis phibz

Aww.. i guess you just have to prepare, do breathing exercises, etc. i read from somewhere nga na dapat i reserve mo yung energy for pushing so try to stay as calm as possible. 

Oo nga buti may options dito. But im sure super okay din dyan

Take care!
