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

[simang]

By the way mga sis, do you guys know your blood pressure? Yesterday, my BP during check up naging 120/80 and my OB wasn't too thrilled about it. 2nd time na nangyari to kasi usually my BP is 100-115/70-75. Haaay. Diet modification daw. Less fastfood/sodium/msg. The thing is I haven't been eating fastfood na. Haaaay.

Sis, ano daw kayang cause nito? Naalala ko kasi my friend who gave birth last yr, very active sya she did light boxing pa while pregnant, pero come 7th month nag preecclampsia sya. So ending na-CS kasi baka daw magshoot up ang BP nya habang naglelabor. Kaya sabi nya saken di mo din masabi talaga the changes na nangyayari sa katawan during pregnancy. Di din nya alam what caused yung pagtaas ng BP nya.

Sa akin naman, my heartrate is almost always elevated at rest. As in last time umabot ng 114 bpm ang heart rate ko at rest, which is dapat 60-100 lang. Minsan nga mataas na pag nag-90.

congrats sis lucky7

Due date ko today at waley pa din plan lumabas itong little one ko. Hayzzz kakainip na.

Sis! update us. Anytime na yan wag ka masyado mainip All will be well

Good thing my OB is not a "doctor CS".  She still believes and encourages me that I can deliver through NSD.

Eto sabi ng sister ko na advantage sa mga lying in clinics. Na ipipilit talaga nila na NSD hanggat kaya. Kaya sana kayanin natin ang NSD :-)

^coca_cola,
i wonder what's wrong with your bp sis, 120/80 is super ok. 5mmHG difference from your usual bp isn't too bad. masyadong conservative naman si OB.

[coco_cola]

Sis simang, always food yung point out niya eh. Mga fastfood and food with sodium/msg lang naman. Yung first time kasi talagang nag large whopper and fries ako the day before our check up. 2nd trimester yun.

Pati paglagay ni husband ng kaunting magic sarap sa fried rice and sabaw pinansin niya. Hahahaha! Next check up ko on my 36th week, we'll see kung back to usual reading na ako. 

Sis belle, yeah I think very conservative nga siya. I think sa BP haha pero in some aspects naman hindi siya ganun.

[belle_v2g]

yung ob ng friend ko ganyan din sis. super fuzzy sa bp. puro normal naman bp nya, pero yug ob di happy. Haha! ok lang yan as long as you know that you are eating well and you've been following the advises.

[littlekinselle]

Basta moderation lang sis , pag gusto mo kumain ng fries or burger kain lang wag muna samahan ng soda Hehe.. Para happy si baby.😄. Cravings ko now avacado shake.basta  Malalamig at sweet siguro dahil sa tag init.

[coco_cola]

Thanks mga sis!

Crave ko naman lately, orange. Ayoko ng peeled. Gusto ko naka slice. Hahahaha. May pahabol na craving pa!

[belle_v2g]

Cravings ko ng first trimester is  manggang hilaw and patis/asin/barrio fiesta na bagoong and pineapple. Basta maasim. Too bad we don't have santol here. That's my other favorite. Weird ko lang noon kasi i hated my favourite ulam ni amoy ayoko maamoy.

Ngayon usual cravings na lang. Like Jollibee coz we don't have Jollibee here. Di na ako maselan sa food. Kahit ano nga nakakain ko ng walang restriction haha! Do you guys drink coffee? Ako yes, pero limited to 1 cup daily.

[momsypips]

36 weeks here! we're very excited na pero syempre, we prefer having baby at around 38 weeks para fully developed na talaga sya lalo na ang lungs nya. we've completed all baby items, washed and stored na rin sa baby cabinet. the hospital bag is ready na rin so this weekend, ikakarga na sa car para no more worries.

Medyo OC ako, so share ko other preparations na ginawa ko aside from the usual baby stuff, hospital bag etc, hope this helps! :-)

(1). for those who are employed, i would assume you informed your employer and SSS about your pregnancy. Make sure you request for the following documents sa HR nyo, you'll need this to process your bills sa hospital:
- SSS Mat-2 (Mat-1 is the one you submitted to notify SSS)
- maternity cash advance claim (cash benefit from SSS)
- Philheath CF1 (filled out by your employer)
- MDR
- Contribution Certificate


(2). Create CHEAT SHEETS! Once admitted in the hospital, you'll be asked the same questions by doctors and nurses. Sometimes, hubby might not be sure with the answers, so I prepared 2 cheat sheets:

• - MOTHER'S CHEAT SHEET: here, i documented all my medical history, sickness, allergies, tests done during pregnancy, vaccines,etc. You can google some templates for this :-)
  
  - BABY's BIRTH CERTIFICATE CHEAT SHEET: this should contain all the information you can find in the birth certificate form. This will come handy and will avoid incorrect spelling ng names nyo ni hubby and ni baby

Put these CHEAT SHEETS in 1 plastic envelope together with the following:
- items listed in #1
- Doctor's Admission and Instruction slip
- Bring also all the lab results you had during your entire pregnancy for reference if needed
- Marriage Certificate (original and photocopy)
- Birth Certificate of Parents (original and photocopy)
- Valid IDs ((original and photocopy)
- ballpen!!! :-) you'll sign a lot of documents for sure

3. Prepare CASH! In most hospitals, you can settle the hospital bill using credit or debit card but most of the time, Professional Fees of doctors are paid in cash.


Konting-konti na lang sisses! Keep safe! :-)

[belle_v2g]

^that is so organised! i love being OC din but at the moment since i'm only 29 weeks, ang tamad ko pang mag prepare.

with documents, i have a clear file dedicated to this pregnancy alone. and a baby journal that i always carry with me.

I am planning to prepare 3 bags: one for me, one for baby and one for hubby.

For baby clothes, i needed to purchase ziplock bags pa and labeller.

Maybe i'll do all these pag around 35 weeks nako? Or too late? Haha! Working pa kasi ako til 36 weeks.

[coco_cola]

34 weeks na ko tom haven't packed any yet. MAYBE this weekend. Hahaha. Kakalipat lang namen and we're still in the process of unpacking.

Sis belle, pumayag din OB ko to a cup of coffee. I stopped nung na bed rest ako. Nung na lift na bed rest ko half a cup of brewed coffee na lang.

[PINKAHOLIC]

Ako po yung madalas mag nosebleed ng malakas. So far, di ko na sya nae- experience kaso mga sis ngayon naman super hirap na ko lumakad, humakbang at bumangon kasi masakit yung buto sa pubic area. Dunno what the right term for that, pelvic bone po ba? Yun po. Makirot na sya huhu. Im 33 weeks today na po. Isa pa, im still breastfeeding my two years and 2 months lo, pero pansin ko ngayon every dodo nya sakin naninigas tummy ko at sumasakit ng bongga lalo na sa gabi minsan naiiyak nalang ako. Naaawa din ako awatin si lo kasi simula pagkapanganak bf kami eh Normal lang ba mga sis? Sana may magpaliwanag sakin. Di na po ako nakapag backread since my last posts pero nagpapasalamat parin po ako sa mga nag care. Bawas ng trabaho, mostly pahinga ko ngayon kasi feeling ko di na ko abot due date palagi na nahilab tummy ko. Pero wag naman po sana gusto ko mag full term si baby ko. Another thing mga sis, from 49kgs pre- pregnancy weight, i am now 73kgs huhu.

[coco_cola]

^sis I have the same reklamo. Masakit yung pelvic floor pag nag lalakad. Singit and pubic bones. Tailbone also if prolonged sitting. Sabi ni OB it's normal because our pelvic floor is expanding in preparation for birth. Lalo pag babangon from bed. Hahaha.

As to BF, I'll let our BFing sis na sumagot. Pero as far as I know, nipple stimulation causes contractions.

[PINKAHOLIC]

v yun nga sis feeling ko pag dumedede si lo eh mapapaanak na ko dahil sa pain ng pagtigas ng tummy at talagang may pain sa banda pempem eh. Minsan nabubugnot na ko feeling ko anytime magle labor ako. Ang hirap

[Which is Witch?]

Makikipost lang po sa 2nd quarter thread.

sis momsypips, pinrint ko yung list na minention mo! hehe. Thanks.
I'm employed but I haven't submitted MAT-1 yet. Pwede na magsubmit sis noh? Meron don sa form na 'i am expecting to give birth on ___'.  Anong date yung nilagay mo sis? Due date based on LMP ba? Yung sakin kasi July 20 pa, pero  sabi ni Ob ko mga 3rd week / 4th week ng June, pwede na ko manganak. Di na ako aabot ng July 20. 1st time ko sorry. Yung last time ko nagfill up kasi nito eh yung namiscarry ako. nagsubmit ako nung pagkagaling ko na sa hospital.

Thanks in advance!

[coco_cola]

^Mine I based on my LMP. Wala naman kaso if in case ma advance yung delivery date.

By the way nung nag submit ako they just put a received stamp with signature. And they returned the whole document to me including the ultrasound report. I was thinking kasi yung lower portion stub lang yung ibabalik sa akin...

[jentotmd]

^sis if history mo talaga big baby then good! kayang kaya mo pala yan!

^sis belle, not rely hesitant.more like ngayon ko lang naisip now that I'm going 38weeks hehe ü

[Cess Sarah]

Grabe iyong paghilab ng tyan ko kagabi. Kahit iba-ibahin ko iyong pwesto ko hindi mawala. Iyong paghilab ng tyan ko parang madudumi at nasuka pa ko. 35 weeks pa lang ako. Sabi ni doc baka labor na raw pero buti hindi pa tumuloy since maaga pa at nakaka-panic hindi pa ako ready sa mga dadalhin at papers for Hospital.

[Which is Witch?]

sis coco_cola, thanks sa response. yan na lang din ang ilalagay ko. Hehe

[_ilovepink_]

mga sis tanong lang...ilang months/weeks ba dapat na every 2 weeks na ang checkup ng OB nyo? kasi monthly ang usual checkup ko. I'm currently on my 34th week pero OB told me to go back na first week of May. I was expecting na every 2 weeks na ang checkup namin... or baka maaga pa lang? by first week of May kasi I'll be 37 weeks na.

 

[coco_cola]

After 28 weeks or once you enter your third trimester, every two weeks na [textspeak!] checkup.
