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

[simang]

TheEmpress, my OGTT results were not very good, sadly. Mataas sugar ko. So i'm really trying my best to cut down on carbs and sweets. Also scheduled to visit my endo next sat.

Re: baby's movements, around 19 wks ako when i first had quickenings. Nung 23rd week ko, may isang buong weekend na halos hindi ko nafeel gumalaw si baby. Sobrang nagworry ako kasi at 21-22 wks medyo regular yung movements nya after lunch and before bed. Kaya nung di sya gumagalaw at those times, ayun medyo naaning ako. Hehe. Pero sabi ng OB ko at that time daw di pa regular ang sleep wake cycle ni baby so most likely nagbago lang sya ng schedule, like mas magalaw sya kapag tulog ako kaya hindi ko napapansin. After ilang days ayun naging regular ulit malikot sya right before dinner naman and during madaling araw like 2-3am. Hehe. Sabi din ng OB ko usually sa 7th month naeestablish ang sleep wake cycle ni baby so mas magiging consistent na yung oras ng gising nya by that time. I'm 26 weeks now and so far very random pa din yung times na malikot si baby. May days na buong araw ko nafifeel yung galaw nya, may times naman na sa gabi lang or sa madaling araw lang. Minsan naman parang nakikipaglaro sya kung san ko pinepress yung tummy ko dun ko mararamdaman yung flutters.

Sis eklea, i will continue praying for you.. So good to hear na okay kayo ng baby mo. Every baby is a miracle. Rest well sis. Magpagaling ka kaagad and i'm praying you and your baby be better soon.

Na raranasan niyo diinba yung sinisikmura kayo?? Ako kasi sobrang dalas ko sikmurain. Heartburn and indigestion. Kahit konte na lang ako kumain may time pa din na sumasakit sikmura ko.. Gaviscon naman matagal mag effect. Hirap din mag sleep halos naka upo na ako mag sleep. . 

[coco_cola]

^Hi sis, I was battling that 2 weeks ago, especially at night. I was also experiencing gas pains. There were some nights that I drank gaviscon after dinner. But not all the time kasi nacoconstipate ako.

I changed my eating habits and ate smaller but frequent meals starting late in the afternoon. And when eating dinner, hindi muna ako bonggang water, I can feel the gas kasi being pushed down sa stomach ko. I also ate less citrusy fruits and less spicy/acidic food especially at night. And pinagiba ko yung intake ng vitamins ko. Now I take iron at lunch then calcium at night. Before kasi baliktad eh. And I usually drink my iron with orange juice. So there last week, wala na ko problems.

Ahhh yes! Heartburn/acid reflux, sabay sipa sipa ng anak ko... Super uncomfortable lol! Kaso ganun talaga. Kaya kung matulog ako lately high fowler's talaga, halos 90 degrees na.. Yung asawa ko ngayon natutulog na ng halos walang unan kasi kinukuha ko lahat... Hehe... I wake up frequently at night for water... Ambilis ko madehydrate, ewan ko kung baket, ok naman yung mga lab tests ko. Wiwi ko early morning sobrang dark, halatang kulang sa fluids

Diagnosed with GDM last week.  Was given a diet plan of only 1800 calories per day.  Pero ok lang kasi one month tiis lang and gusto ko talaga mag VBAC.  OB is very supportive.  Akala ko automatic na ako repeat CS.  Pero sabi niya as long as walang problem at hindi naman 9lbs si baby magtrial of labor kami.

Hinay hinay lang talaga sa sweets and carbs.  Grabe effect ng sugar ko ang ripe banana. 

Mga sis,  same with last pregnancy, I passed the OGTT at six months pero duda yong mga doc ko na at the later stage nagka GDM ako previously coz 8.2 lbs si eldest.  So on my 32nd week with this pregnancy nag OGTT ako ulit and dito na nadiagnosed ang GDM.

So if you passed your OGTT don't celebrate too much by giving in to all your sweet cravings.  Lesson learned ko to.

Happy thoughts!

had my CAS last saturday together with my OGTT.

overall ok un CAS ko. except for the part na hinde masyado makita un heart nya dahil sa maternal habitus - ergo taba ko.. at hinde makita un face kase masyado playful un anak ko. tinatakpan nya mukha nya so hinde ma measure un symmetry etc. i also know that im having a Girl by the way.. kase walang turtle na nakita kundi hamburger un prominent. cephalic si baby and medyo hinde pa sya malaman.. so i want a repeated UTZ so i can see her face sana..

for my OGTT meron high reading for the 2nd hr pero bumaba sya after the 3rd hr. so i think thats good. im not into sweets pero i drink soda occasionally plus iced tea if meron ako iba panlasa..

had my CAS and OGTT done at NWDI D. Tuazon branch. i brought seat pillows and a book. 5hrs ata ako andun so i wanted to be comfy.

[Ireneeeeee]

i have G.D. rin pero namamanage ko naman so far and happy naman endo ko sa results. Sabi ni OB kaya pa magnatural birth kahit may GDM basta ok ang sugar. I'm really doing my best to manage it kasi ayoko maginject ng insulin and ang gastos rin sobra.. 32 weeks na ako today woohoo! konti nalang awa ni Lord may makulit na kaming makakasama

got to start packing hosp bags na and laba laba na ng damit at linis ng mga gamit nya..

[cescilay]

@Ireneeeeee Magkasunod lang pala tayo sis. 32 weeks na din ako this thursday. Konting tumbling na lang. Aaahhh! I'm excited! First time!

[momsypips]

Hi Sisses! 31weeks here and medyo matagal akong nawala dito sa GT kasi ang daming pangyayari sa amin ni baby the past months.

1st, GDM -- so i failed the 75g OGTT test. ang hirap magdiet to control sugar lalo na kahit yung mga food na muka namang healthy e hindi pa rin okay (like tuna sandwich at nilagang saging na saba). nung first 2 weeks, super natakot ako kaya very cautious ako sa food intake. too bad lang dahil nasobrahan ata, i lost 3 kilos.. so hindi pa kami nakaka recover sa GDM issue, may nadagdag na problem naman.

2nd, Colorectal Surgery -- yeah, as in operation when i was 28weeks. Started initially na parang constipation lang pero it lasted for a week and the pain got stronger and stronger to the point na nagkaroon na ako ng contractions. Apparently, it was colorectal polyp. As advised by my OB and surgeon, they had to remove it, else, higher chance ng premature labor. Buti na lang sobrang kampante ako sa OB ko that I entrusted this decision sa call nya what's best for me and my baby. So during the operation, there were 5 doctors: OB, General Surgeon, Colorectal Surgeon, Gastroenterologist and Anesthesiologist. For some reason, I was so calm before and even during the procedure. Thank God the procedure went smoothly. I was on Epidural anes during the procedure! Kung may maganda man na naidulot ang incident na ito probably, that would be nawala ang pain for one, and second, now may idea na ako ng Epidural Anes hahaha! My OB being there helped a lot. I was a bit groggy but they said I didn't stop asking how's my baby the entire procedure. So OB was patient enough na iparinig ang heartbeat ni baby through Doppler, ang sweet! :-)

So ang haba ng kwento ko haha. Now, i've fully recovered and my baby's getting stronger and stronger (literally sa pag sipa sa tummy ko). just a few more weeks and we'll all see our precious one. sobrang nakaka excite na! im a first time mom but all my worries are now gone and im just really excited to see our little princess :-)

[simang]

^waahh ang scary naman na kinailangan mo magsurgery while pregnant.. Buti na lang okay ang experience mo, ang lakas ng loob mo sis!!! And your baby is a strong one too! Nakakatuwa Good to know that you're recovering well!!! Kudos to the great doctors who took care of you and your baby

[phibz]

I am feeling so bad awhile ago that I am closed to going to the hospital but then tumawag ako sa hospital at sabi nila I have to observe muna.

Im 36 weeks and Im having hard time breathing, Im getting on and off headaches and OMG Im vomiting again tapos restless talaga ako. Sabi nong nakausap ko sa phone normal daw yun but deep inside talaga hindi ko alam kung ano ang normal. Ang bilis ko din mapagod, yong hirap huminga tapos kailangan mong sumandal pag prolonged standing ka kahit 30 mins lang. Natutulog na din ako sa couch kasi ang kama namin sobrang lambot at hindi ako makahinga. Nafefeel ko naman parang nag baby drop na ako kaya lang bakit pahirapan pa din sa paghinga, baka feeling ko lang talaga to? hahhahaha

Gusto ko ng mag 37 weeks para anytime pwede na akong manganak at less worry na din sa premature baby. Hayzzz preggy problems talga.

[coco_cola]

^Sis, baka psychological na yan dahil sa excitement makita si baby? So happy for you! I can just imagine your anticipation. Lapit ka na sis! Ikaw pinaka una dito sa thread! Do breathing exercises!

[phibz]

@Cocacola

oo nga sis eh, due date ko is April 1 talaga, April fools day. hahhaha Pero feeling ko medyo maaga ako kasi panay contractions ko na kasi at dumadami na din vaginal discharges ko. Naku sana talga maaga, nakakapagod na din kasi. Lumala pa Carpal Tunnerl Syndrom ko sa kamay.

Mag post ako dito pag Happy Labor day ko na. hehe

[_lavinia_]

^good luck, sis and have a safe delivery in advance

[Ireneeeeee]

^advanced congrats sis!! todo ingat ka na ngayon lapit na dumating si baby.

@Ireneeeeee Magkasunod lang pala tayo sis. 32 weeks na din ako this thursday. Konting tumbling na lang. Aaahhh! I'm excited! First time!

Hi sis! yep magkasunod nga tayo.. medyo nakakapagod na nga maglakad and true enough nagigising nanaman ako frequently sa gabi to pee siguro 2 to 3 times kaya feeling puyat paggising. Minsan nakakaramdam na rin ako ng pressure sa pempem na parang lalabas na si bebe..hayyy. Pero kapit lang lapit na!

[coco_cola]

Yikes, I think I might have hemmorhoid (piles). Sorry TMI! ✌🏼️

After doing #2, mejo may discomfort sa part na yun. And then when I took a bath, may nakapa ako, very small lang. I read that makakatulong yung kegels, so I did that tas nawala. Omg did it go in again?

Can't believe lang cause I am not constipated. Well my poop is not soft pero I don't strain naman when doing #2.

Pareho tayo sis may carpal tunnel, grabe ang clumsy ko na, lahat nhuhulog kasi manhid na talaga.
Ngayon di pa ako masyado nakakatulog kasi inuubo ako and OB won't give prescription, it's better to go natural daw, inom madaming tubig.  Ang hirap para akong lantang gulay, nagwo-work pa.  Wish ko talaga April na para manganak na ako .

Ntawa na tuloy ako sa reply kung Carpal tunnel sa kamay. Parang may carpal sa Paa lang. hahahha Yong pagkagising sa umaga talga pahirapan sa sakit ano? Daig pa natin ang matanda, kahit anong gawin ko wala talaga maliban na lang sa titiisin mo.

Meron din akong hemorroids kasi constipated palagi pero maliit lang naman, Sana lang mawala na to. Mag kegel din ako baka pumasok din yong sakin. Medyo hirap konti mag poop kasi masakit siya.
BUkas mamimili pa kami ng gamit pala, nagulat asawa ko sa presyo nong last time nag ikot kami, sabi pa niya bakit ang mamahal nito eh ang liliit naman. 

Im thankful nga na hindi ako nagwowork kasi di pa ako pwede pero yon nga kulang sa exercise kasi tamad lumabas dahil sobrang lamig lang. Plano ko na lang pag 37 weeks na ako, akyat baba na lang dito sa apartment namin para naman mapadali na sa paglabas.

pagwalang phlegm naman ang ubo sis ok lang yan pero pag meron na dapat mag anti-biotics na lalo na pagmalapit na due date kasi napapasa daw yan sa baby. Uminom din ako ng gamot nong may sipon ako, non stop sneezing kasi yun na may kasama ng phlegm kaya binigyan ako ng gamot, after that wala na talaga. 3 months ko din tiniis yun pero di talga kinaya sa natural healing.

Wishing  us all a safe delivery na lang din. 

[i_am_zayda]

My EDD is May 8 and hopefully sakto sya kasi I like the date. Kung hindi sa May 14 para ka-birthday ng tatay.

Mga sis, ano pakiramdam nyo ngayon na malapit na manganak?

Last month, twice nangyari sa akin na naiyak ako pag-naiisip ko na lalabas na si baby. Parang feeling ko hindi na sya part ng katawan ko. hehe...

And then this month naman, may mga anxieties na ako. Iniisip kung kaya ko yung labor, ano mangyayari sa amin ni baby, magpa-CS ba ako, etc.

[ghye]

Pregnancy hormones hit me last night.  Naging very sensitive ako sa text ng asawa ko which made me cry and I didn't want to talk to him when he called.  I also didn't answer his text messages.
