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

[imagodei082990]

Hi sis imagodei082990

Yung sa akin kasi complete bed rest talaga cos konting movement lang, nagspo spotting agad ako. I was hospitalized 3x kasi dahil sa SCH then yung spotting.

I use comode nadin cos kelangan ko pa mag stairs para mag pee. Since naka comode na, 3 steps away nalang. Everytime i sit or walk kasi, ang sakit and heavy sa puson (parang may malalaglag), even if im taking meds (isoxilan and utrogestan)

Share ko nalang din, last Christmas, i asked permission from my OB if i can go to the mall para makapag Christmas shopping man lang, she allowed me basta naka wheel chair daw. So we went to the mall na wala masyado tao ng naka wheel chair. Stayed for 2 hours ata then pag uwi ko, spotting ulit. Kaya sabi ng dr ko, rest rest and rest na daw

Yung baby ko gusto palagi lang ako nakahiga ako. Sunod nalang ako hehe

ganon ba .. ako hindi na nagspotting simula uminom ako ng mga meds .. yun nga lang sakit ng puson hindi na nawala sakin .. ngayong 3rd trimester gusto ko lagi nakahiga kase ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko .. masaki balakang mabigat ang tiyan masakit ang binti .. hindi na ako masyado makalakad para akong robot maglakad

36 weeks! Next week, i'll have the ultrasound to check if baby's bones are mature enough, then CS na if results are good. Hirap na ko lumakad, masakit sa pelvis ang weight ni baby. Hubby bought a wheelchair para makalabas ako ng bahay for important events 

I'm trying mag-ipon ng tulog before baby comes out, pero every 2 hours naman naiihi ako so parang practice na rin 

In fairness, sulit ang Mustela stretch marks cream! Ang laki ng tiyan ko for my size and I have puberty stretch marks, pero wala pang stretch marks sa tummy ko ^_^

Mga sis, join na rin kayo ng Breastfeeding Pinays group sa FB it will help a lot so you can give the best milk for your baby

^i read some not very nice feedbacks regarding sa fb group na yan sa breastfeeding thread..

----

I'm 29 weeks now and inuubo na naman ako. Sobrang hirap ng may ubo. This is my 4th episode na, kaya nakakaloka.. I'll be visiting my OB tomorrow and hopefully wag na nya ko painumin ng antibiotics. Sana makuha na to sa fluids and vitamins. Sobrang sakit na ng abs ko kakaubo, naaawa na ko kay baby. Haaay. I had chills also kahapon buti naman di na umulit. And my arms and upper back muscles are very very sore, para akong nag-gym ng buong araw. Nagbabasa ko online about my muscle aches pero wala naman ako makita na directly related sa pregnancy. Buti na lang active pa din si baby, makes me feel relieved na she's okay kahit ang dami kong nararamdamang di maganda.

^^ sis same pang ba ang Mustela stretchmarks oil and cream?Ginagamit ko din kasi un cream sinasabayan ko ng sunflower oil ng HNN so far wala pa din ako stretchmarks sa tummy. Im 29 weeks na. Nako ako din hirap mag sleep para akong nasa call center pag gabi gising pag umaga tulog.. Kahapon nakatulog ako ng mahaba kasi galing kami ng beach kaya sa saobrang pagod ko siguro maghapon ako tulog hehe.☺️

^ sis simang naranasan ko din un ubo at sipon pag inuubo ako nag foforward katawan  ko para di sumakit tyan ko kakaubo.  Lemon or kalamansi  juice lagyan mo ng honey instead na sugar saka dapat mejo mainit lat saka vitamin c lang yan inom ka din ng madami water. Except kung manas kana.. ☺️

[coco_cola]

Sis simang, get well soon! Baka trangkaso yung muscle aches?

I am using Mustela cream as well (white and light pink tube) mag 33 weeks na ko this week wala pa stretchmarks sa tummy. Crossing my fingers. I have few stretchmarks on my thighs and butt pre pregnancy and I notice nag lighten din sila.

Mejo getting uncomfortable na ko lately. Babies movements are hitting some parts na mapapa hinga talaga ako. I think those are my pelvic organs.

[simang]

^^littlekinselle onga eh my MIL advised me to take lemon + honey sa warm water.. So ayun ang iininom ko since kahapon. Ang hirap talaga ng may ubo. Pre-pregnancy ubuhin na talaga ko and sometimes my cough would last for 2-3 weeks pero doble doble hirap pag buntis. Malamang pagtake na naman ako ng antibiotic kasi ngayon morning may kulay na phlegm ko. Last weekend kasi clear lang sya.

^thanks coco_cola, i doubt that this is trangkaso kasi my temperature never got higher than 37.4. Nagchills ako pero walang lagnat as per my temp. Kaya di din ako nagtake ng paracetamol eventhough sabi ng OB safe naman as needed.

Regarding stretchmarks cream, twing kelan nyo inaapply? Every after shower ba like regular lotion? I only have a few on my tummy.. Sabi ng sister ko wag na ko maglagay kasi mawawala naman daw ganun kasi sa kanya, as in walang trace ng stretchmarks, although konti lang din naman yun sa kanya.

[littlekinselle]

^ sis cont. mo lang pang unom ng lemon and honey.. 😄 yung ubo ko wala pang one week nawala na siya. Maganda din daw ang apple cider vinegar  at honey sa ubo. Di ko lang ni try kasi acidic ako baka lalo ako  sikmurain..

Morning and night ako nag lalagay ng oil and lotion sa tummy minsan tinatamad ako mag lagay mainit na kasi ngayon hehe. Nakakatulong naman un pag lagay lagay ng oil and lotion sa tummy para di mag dry.  Problem ko nga yun sa neck ko nag karoin ako ng rashes super kati sabi ng Ob ko normal daw yun . Pero pansin ko parang umiitim siya.. Hehe hirap mag buntis pero ok lang iniisip ko pag labas ni baby saka ako babawi paganda mode naman. Para di mag mukang losyang.   😁

[coco_cola]

^^I put every after shower on my tummy, thighs, and butt.  So mga 1x or 2x a day. 😀

[ghye]

Mga sis, for the ubo, i found a solution for my long time cough.  I wear socks sa gabi pag matutulog na ako and slippers or socks inside the house.  Most of us kasi don;t wear slippers when inside the house pero need to use one kasi malamig din ang semento o tiles.  I was prescribed by my OB antibiotics for my cough pero hindi ako gumaling then.

I had been a member of Breastfeeding Pinay for more than 3 years already and it's really a big help on my breastfeeding journey then.  Kaya everytime I have friends who are pregnant, I ask them to be a member of BFP.  Marami nagrereklamo, some have negative experiences as they say.  Ang sa akin is, nasa sa iyo yan how you handle the discussions on BFP.  Kung papa-apekto ka ba negatively or just take it positively.  Sa dami na kasi ng members ng BFP, the admins can't control every post but they are trying their best naman to police everyone.  They are moms also and are busy personally so they can't be online every minute just for BFP.

[i_am_zayda]

Hi mga sis! 33 weeks pregnant na. pag-gumagalaw si baby minsan napapa-ihi ako siguro natatamaan nya pantog ko.. hehe.

Anyways, may I know your opinion regarding taking moringa supplements? Aside from putting malunggay sa mga ulam, can I take na malunggay supplement para madami ako milk paglabas ni baby?

Worried kasi ako, kasi mom ko sabi nya, di daw nya ko napa-breastfeed dahil wala daw talaga lumabas sa kanya milk kahit ano pa gamot pinainom sa kanya.

[imagodei082990]

hello mga sissy
@simang get well soon sissy .. nung may ubo't sipon ako water lang ang iniinom ko ..
@au-chic yey lapit ka na .. kelan sched mo ng cs sissy???

kagagaling ko lang kahapon sa new ob ko .. sakanya ko pinabasa yung latest ultrasound ko. nakakaloka ! sabi niya maliit nalang ang chance na mainormal ko si baby kase ang placenta ko super lapit sa cervix ko . 1.3 cm lang siya .. eh pag nag dilate daw ang cervix ay 10cm .. then inexplain niya sakin na hanggang 34 weeks lang daw may chance gumalaw si placenta , after nun wala na.. uulit kami ng ultrasound around 36-37 weeks ..

ang isang nag papahirap sakin ngayon ay yung external hemorrhoids o.. sino meron nito? lumabas ito nung 30 weeks palang ako.. ang sakit sakit talaga .. ano pinapahid niyo?

[coco_cola]

^Sis baka may ma recommend Yung OB mo na ointment. Alam ko effective talaga ang mga ganito. Constipated ka ba? I'm not constipated pero may na feel ako na super small hemmy before. Nawala din siguro kasi di naman ako constipated. But sometimes it feels irritated. I put witch hazel toner which I bought from Healthy Options. I read this from the Internet.

Sis @iamzayda, mag 33 weeks na rin ako this week. Pag naglilkot si baby omg ganun din feeling ko parang naiihi na nakukuryente hahaha!

[littlekinselle]

^^better ask your ob kung ano pwede ipahid. Pero alam ko the best sa hemoroids yun hot sitz  bath kaso bawal naman yun sa buntis.. Iba naman peteolium jelly pinapahid di ko lang alam if safe yun sa buntis..
Avoid mo na lang sis un umire and mga spicy food saka inom ka din ng madami water pa di ka constipated.

^ako sis 29 weeks pa lang madalas na ako naiihi. Khit sneeze lang may lumalabas.. Yes feel ko din yang nakukuryente effect. Hehe

[imagodei082990]

hindi naman ako constipated .. ang lambot nga ng poops ko .. nakakaloka kase kahit anong pasok ko seconds lang lumalabas nanaman siya siguro dahil nasa labas siya talaga wala kase binigay si ob kahapon .. pahirap talaga super sakit

[coco_cola]

@littlekinselle, hahaha. Lightning effect. Don't have back problems, thank god. Pero ang pelvic floor ko is giving me discomfort especially if naglikot si baby. Groin discomfort when walking. Tailbone discomfort from prolonged sitting. Hahaha!!!

They say our pelvic muscles are already expanding.

37 weeks! Home stretch is here!

Updates:
- had Group B strep test at 36 weeks (done by swabbing vagina & rectum area for bacteria) and tested positive, will have antibiotic during labor only to keep baby from getting infected.
- still driving around, farthest is the mall (about 30 mins)
- weekly NSTs starting at 36 weeks
- gained 12 kilos as of this writing
- still walking everyday ever since I was diagnosed with GDM at 8 weeks
- no swelling, no sickness, no backaches just heaviness in the belly & hard time sleeping at night
- and my favorite part of this pregnancy-- no maternity clothes,  just my regular ones and no stretch marks so far! Bio Oil works for me

We are just patiently waiting for baby's arrival and the anticipation is getting intense I pray for all of you sissies to have a continued safe & healthy pregnancy!

[coco_cola]

^Wow, have a safe delivery sis. Congratulations in advance. 😀

Are you based abroad? I wonder if Group B Strep tests are being done here as well. To mommies in their late 3rd trimester, did your OB test you for this?

[hushbaby]

Yay! Lapit na sis. 😊 gaano katagal yung walking mo? Mataas pa din sugar ko kaya nagmomonitor pa din ako. Once a day lang naman prick. If di macontrol ng diet in 2 wks mag insulin na daw ako. Then may UTI pa ako so I'm taking cefalexin. Breech din si baby sa last ultrasound ko pero sana umikot sya. Ayoko talaga ma CS

[jeune]

Thank you sis coco_cola! Yes sis, I'm based abroad. I live in Germany but go to American military hospital so it's mandatory to get the test

Sis hushbaby, I walk 30 mins each heavy meal. Sometimes more than that if I'm out and about. I also prick 4x/day but my sugar is really good so far this whole pregnancy, my doctor is happy My baby has been cephalic since 32 weeks and stayed like that until now, mabait na baby Gaano kataas ang sugar mo? Is it more than the recommended level?

[simang]

Thanks littlekinselle, coco_cola. I want to use one sana para di na dumami stretchmarks ko.. Although my friend said na sobrang konti lang naman daw. Nasa lahi din daw kasi ang stretchmarks sabi nila.

Ghye, i always wear bedroom slippers at home.. Though di ako nagsosocks pag natutulog. Mine always starts with allergic rhinitis kasi then eventually magiging full blow colds and cough. It's almost always like that. Di na ko binigyan ng antibiotic ni OB since clear naman na phlegm ko but ang hirap pa din umubo.

I_am_zayda, nako ganyan din ako, may galaw si baby na nakakawiwi haha. Pag naglalakad ako especially yung weight nya nagbabounce sa bladder ko. Ang hirap sa gabi kasi sa apartment namin our toilet is downstairs so i have to go down mga 3-4x during the night to pee. Now i'm staying here sa house ng parents ko and buti may toilet na sa room hehe. I read somewhere na damihan lang daw ang malunggay sa diet, okay na, no need to take supplements.. Kasi that's basically malunggay din naman in a capsule.

Imagodei, thanks sis. Water talaga helps. Now medyo maluwag na phlegm, nakaka-4.5 L yata ako ng tubig. Sana tuloy tuloy na without meds.

Jeune, wow lapit ka na.. God bless sis, update mo kami

Hushbaby, i have GDM and will start my insulin injection tomorrow 2 weeks lang ako pinagdiet tapos repeat FBS, because mataas pa din i have to use insulin injection na daw. Sabi ng endo ko this is better para siguradong mareregulate ang sugar ko. My latest fbs was 115 mg/dl, hanggang 92 lang daw accepted pag pregnant. Kaya ayun. Repeat fbs ulit ako 2nd week ng April, hopefully magnormal na.
