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

[simang]

^^depende yata talaga sa OB sis. I'm 31 weeks and after 4 weeks pa din ako pinapabalik ng OB ko. She mentioned na come 36 weeks, weekly na ang monitoring kay baby. So I guess hindi kami dadaan sa every 2 weeks na visit sa OB. Hehe. Wala namang problema saken since hindi naman ako high risk. My friend who had placenta previa and GDM and episodes of PTL, every 2 wks visit nya since 24 weeks. Tapos 32nd week onwards weekly na hanggang manganak.

Right now, ang pinakaconcern ng OB ko is my baby's size. Kasi this past month hindi ako naggain ng weight and my fundal height, 2cm lang nilaki, dapat yata 4cm. Sabi nya this maybe because of my insulin injection, baka daw sobrang bumababa naman ang sugar ko. So nirefer nya ko sa dietitian para mamaximize yung diet ko. And i'm also scheduled for a sonogram this tuesday to check her weight. Hopefully naman sakto ang size nya. Medyo nagworry kami ni husband eh.. The last time kasi sa ultrasound namin, she was 1 day late in terms of femur length. Sabi ni OB okay lang kung few days late lang, but kung weeks, kelangan namin habulin weight nya.

Hello mommies, how are you na?

- Me yesterday last monthly check up namin then after dat every 2 weeks na. LO is 28 weeks na pala. Katatapos lang ng OGTT namin nung sat and good thing normal naman ang results. Medyo mahilig kasi ako sa sweets and sa mga shakes. Nag vaccine na din si OB ng TDAP which includes cough, tetanus and meron pang iba. She told me na bawas ang salty and carbo foods.

- okay un mga prep for the docs, i'll take note of this nga din. Nag print na nga ako ng Birth cert cheat sheet saka info sheet ko (un mga info about me LMP, allergies, etc.) para dun nalang titingin si hubby in case na tanungin siya bout that. Mabuti na din prepared at baka mataranta si hubby. Hehe. 

God bless mga moms to be!

34+2 weeks now. And I'm soooo tamad to move. Hahaha. Wala pa rin ako hospital bag. 😄 Pero target ko yan this week. I'll buy some hospital stuff later @ Mercury.

To those in their 3rd trimester, do you feel sore finger knuckles/joints? Not bothersome but it's sore lang when you curl/flex your fingers. They don't look swollen but mahirap na tanggalin yung E-ring and W-band ko. 😂

Todo elevate na rin ako ng legs and iwas salty food para iwas manas.

[simang]

^^hi miss granger!! Ang bilis ng panahon no, 3rd tri na tayo. Hehe kelan nga edd mo? gusto ko yang cheat sheet for hubby, haha, gagawa din ako nyan.

^coco_cola, naeexperience ko din yan, usually pag morning. Pero mostly sa knuckles lang. Parang tight yung feeling ng joints, pero walang swelling or manas. Sa tuhod and ankles wala naman. Tapos within the day nagigin normal din yung feeling sa fingers. What I do is i just move my fingers continuously. Last week nga nagkaron ako ng swelling sa left ring finger as in dun lang, haha sabi ko impossible namang pamamanas to isang daliri lang kasi. Pero nawala naman agad.

35 weeks and 2 days, still working since 34th week madami na ko contractions pero ignore ko lang kase nawawala naman. Sched CS daw ako ni OB pag 37 weeks na. Naiinip na ko kahit 2 weeks na lang. Parang ang haba ng araw.

[coco_cola]

^Sis bakit ka CS? Ako rin may chance na ma CS pero gusto ni OB @ 38/39. Gusto ko sana 37.

[SakuraBride]

^ CS kase ako sa panganay ko. Di daw bumuka pelvic ko.

Hi ladies! I'm doing great so far. Medyo tahimik ako sa last week kasi I was on sick leave. I wasn't able to go to work the whole week kasi last easter Monday, I fell on a gutter and twisted my left ankle badly. I thought I fractured it kasi it was so painful I couldn't even walk. I was seen by the doctor at home and buti na lang bad sprain lang. Pero binigyan parin akong off from work kasi 8 hrs akong puro nakatayo at palakad lakad lagi so better to stay at home muna. Came Friday, I had my GTT and i was supposed to get the results faxed to me kanina kaso I forgot. Haha! In 2010 kasi borderline ang FBS ko kaya gusto ko ng malaman agad result. Hopefully maalala ko tong i-follow up tomorrow.

I agree with the other ladies here, your doctor will determine how often you should go back to her depending on your medical history. I am now on my 29 weeks going 30 this Thursday. 7 more weeks before my maternity leave starts!!! Ang napansin ko lang sa sarili ko aside from the massive back pain is that I easily get exhausted. As in napapansin ng lahat na pagod na pagod ako. Saka constipated din.

[theEmpress]

Hi Mommies,

Anyone feeling or felt pain in the pubic bone, groin and inner thigh? I'm on my 28th week, last week ko naramdaman yung pain. It hurts when I get up from sitting down or pagbangon sa bed, or mag shift ng position. Masakit din pag mag pants when you have to lift one leg up. Pero pag nakahiga lang or naka upo wala naman. Akala ko baka strained muscles lang but it's not stopping, minsan nga parang worsening yung pain. Worried na may effect kay baby, sa April 15 pa next check up ko.

Thanks.

[fionaapple]

^sis belle_v2g, good to know you are alright.

Pa 35th week ko na this thursday. And totoo na iba iba ang sked ng checkup depending on your condition. Last saturday ang checkup ko (34 weeks and 2 days) tapos ang next will be on my 37th week (april 21). Kinakabahan na excited. Kagabi, i prepared my baby girl's drawer. Nilagay ko na yung mga gamit niya. So happy. Di ko pa lang binuksan yung pack and play niya. Siguro kapag nasa 37th week na, para malapit na talaga.

Current problem ko yung yaya. Sana magkaroon na. Ang hirap naman maghanap talaga. Lahat ng prospect namin, biglang hindi tutuloy. Problema ko wala kasing kamag anak na pwede mag stay sa bahay.

 Iniisip ko, if worse comes to worst, after my maternity leave, iiwan muna namin siya sa tita ko nakatira sa kabilang barangay tuwing morning then sundo kapag gabi. Tyaga tyaga until makakuha ng yaya.

Ayoko naman sana gawin yun dahil sobrang nakakapagod. Although safer yun.

[simang]

belle, good to know you're okay!! Nakakatakot naman, you didn't fall on your bum or back naman siguro no? Get well soon!

theempress, I do get that sometimes too pero hindi naman constant pain, usually sa gabi when I move sa bed or kapag babangon. Pero I guess normal lang ang pelvic pain during pregnancy, possible kasi na dahil sa weight ng baby. Pwede din na medyo bumababa na ang position nya. Possible kasi na the ligaments in the pubic and groin area nasstretch na ng sobra.

fionaapple, good luck sa yaya hunting. Totoo, mahirap talaga humanap ng helper, and it's not very safe kung hindi kakilala. I guess safest na yung iwan nyo muna sya sa aunt mo while working, habang wala pang pwede mag-alaga. Ito dinidiscuss namin din ng husband ko lately, kasi I'm thinking of going back to work full time few months after manganak kasi wala din kaming helper. Good thing my mom and MIL agreed na mag-aalternate sila sa pagvisit sa bahay to help us with the baby. Pero syempre hindi naman yun permanent kasi they have their own homes to attend to din, and my MIL is also taking care of her other grand kids sa province.

[theEmpress]

^^ sis simang, thanks for the reply. Constant yung pain sis kaya nga worried ako bakit ganun. Although wala naman pag nakahiga or naka-upo. Pagbangon lang at pag naglalakad. Dami nga nagsabi na common naman, still can't help but get worried sometimes.

Praying all mommies here will have a safe pregnancy and delivery.

[belle_v2g]

Thank you sis fionaapple and simang. no, i didn't fell on my tushy pero di ba, when you keep yourself from falling, mas lalong masakit kase lahat ng pressure napunta sa ankle. Kaya yun, nafeel ko talaga may something na tumunog haha (maybe soft tissue damage lang) pag nirorotate ko ang left foot masakit parin at tumutunog tunog pero nakawork nako kanina.

Sis fionaapple ang bilis! 35 weeks kana!! Exciting talaga yan! Kagabi napuyat ako paggawa ng checklist para sa mga di ko pa nabibili saka content ng hospital bags. Super excited na rin ako kahit medyo matagal pako. Ilan weeks maternity leave mo? Problema din namin yan mag alaga kay baby after my 6 mos maternity leave. Though nag apply ako ng tourist visa for my parents pero usually pag first entry, 3 months lang iggrant ng immigration. Ayoko din kase ilagay sa child care ang baby, super expensive. Hopefully makahanap ka na ng nanny. 

[Cess Sarah]

Naku concern ko rin kung paano si baby after ng maternity leave ko. May edad na kasi si mommy ko kaya takot na rin siya magbuhat buhat kay baby.

[coco_cola]

^Sis empress, normal lang yan. I have the same too. OB said it's because our pelvic floor is stretching. For me pubic bone and groin pains. Haha. It's uncomfortable pag babangon / change position sa bed or when I do long walks. Nasanay na rin ako ata.

[theEmpress]

^^ sis coca cola, thanks. I'm so worried. Grabe lang sa sakit talaga, but anything for our little ones. Hay. Hope you're doing okay.

[littlekinselle]

Im 31 weeks and  5 days.. Kahapon nag pag lab test ako ogtt ayoko na maulit un kasi nagutom talaga ako.. Saka di ko type lasa ng ibinigay saken super tamis.. At nag diarrhea ako after .
nag pa ultrasound din ako naka open si cervix ng 4mm pero nothing to worry daw.. Thank god kasi cephalic posistion na si baby. 😄  mejo sad lang ako kasi mejo maliit si baby sabi ni doc. Nasa 3lbs p lang siya. Pero everything is normal. Di nman  ako pwede kain ng kain ng todo dahil ayoko mag ka heartburn and indigestion.

[phibz]

Hi mga sis!

E induce ako later ng 3 pm sa Pinas. Please pray for me. Medyo takot ako pero mas takot akong manatili pa ng matagal tong baby ko sa tummy. I will let you know what will happen. Sana magiging normal deliveru lang.

Goodluck satin lahat!

[jentotmd]

^ Hi sis phibz, good luck!

^ Sis belle_v2g, good to hear na ok ka and on the way to recovery. slight nakakastress yan.

^ Sis littlekinselle, si baby ko din di ganun kalaki. At 38 going 39 weeks, nasa 2.3kgs lang siya. OB said it's ok especially if may history sa inyo ni hubby na small baby so long as proportion siya. Si hubby kasi 2.5kgs siya pinanganak pero term naman.

Kahapon I had another check-up with OB to check if nagoopen na cervix ko. After EPO and walking galore, mababa na si baby pero closed pa din. I'm currently at 38 weeks going 39 so next week if di pa siya mag open contemplating CS na kami. Medyo apprehensive kasi ako sa Meconium Aspiration kaya payag na ako at 39 CS kahit first baby. 

Hope all goes well

[littlekinselle]

^^pray pray lang good luck!

^jentotmd ayy talaga?? Worried kasi kami ng asawa ko dahil sa weight ni baby.. Nakitaan ako ng +3 glucose sa urine ko.. Ei after ko naman mag Ogtt super laklak ako ng water then umihi muna ako para itapon un ipinainom saken na super tamis na juice. Saka umihi ulit ako ng 2 beses..  ika 3rd ihi ko na yun ipinass ko  sa lab, para kako wala na makita. Pero meron pa din nakita ko re sesult +3 glucose.. Dapat neagtive siya.
Possible kaya na ipa ulit yung urinalysis ko??

Ako naman mas gusto ko normalcnatatakot ako ma CS. 😊. Lapit na pop out din pala si baby.. 😉
