Babies due on SECOND QUARTER OF 2016 (APRIL, MAY, JUNE) - Thread 3

[bluish_mommy]

Gave birth at SLMC BGC, did not avail Save Package, paid p146k net, got a regular private room.

Last wkend ang last checkup ko sa OB ko and she said I am beginning to contract na while she's doing the checkup, cervix that time was manipis na daw pero closed pa rin. She asked me to monitor the contractions if magiging 3x ang occurence in an hour, if ever tawagan ko na daw sya pag ganun. Usually paninigas lang nararamdaman ko walang pain as in. I was scheduled for CS sana last Sat pero napa aga dahil sa naging frequent na ang contractions.

When I texted her, she called me instead and instructed me what to do, after 2hrs dumating na kaming hosp and I was put immediately to monitoring, both my baby's heartbeat and contractions, still feeling no pain. Then the anesthesiologist explained to me what she'll do, after 30mins dumating na OB ko. From the time we arrived the hosp, 2hrs after baby was out na. I did not feel any pain during the operation, my daughter was latched immediately pagkalinis sa kanya and surprisingly nagsuck na agad talaga sya agad, very good talaga!

She was with me from the operating room to recovery room gang madala na ako sa room namin. While in the recovery room, from time to time nila latch sya sa akin. I was so happy 2nd day may milk nako agad. Wala pang 1 wk established na ang milk supply ko, nakapag extract na nga ako ng paunti unti, building up my stocks na.

I used up 2 packs ng maternity pads and now gamit ko na lang napkin. I felt pain na lang nung nagwear off na ang anesthesia nung nasa hosp pa ako.

Overall experience ko with SLMC BGC was very satisfactory. ;-)

hi mommies, i'm on my 36th week. nag scan kami last saturday, cephalic na si baby pero posterior position sya. wala namang comment si OB so di rin ako na-alarm. though sabi ng sonologist dapat umikot sya para easier ang labor.

anyone has the same case here?

thanks.

take care sa mga ka batch ko belle_v2g and jeuliann.

Thank you sis! nagpa-ultrasound din ako last saturday. Cephalic na rin naman pero walang nakalagay kung posterior or anterior. Yung placenta ko ang posterior hehe. I'm worried lang about sa UTI ko nagpa urinalysis and cbc din kasi ako. I'm now taking antibiotics for my UTI for 7 days. My OB recommended also to have a urine culture to determine yung bacteria na nagcacause ng UTI ko. I hope na sana wala ng makita or mag-negative.

Nag start ka na ba sis maglakad-lakad?

[theEmpress]

jeuliann, tinanong ko kasi sis, heheh. hope maging okay na yung UTI mo sis. di muna ako pinaglalakad kasi alis si hubby ng June 9-13. ayaw ni dra na manganak ako maaga ng wala sya.

[belle_v2g]

Thank you sis theEmpress. Naiinip na ako sis. 38 weeks na ako sa Thursday. Kaso ang dami namin appointment in the coming weeks that requires us to travel 90 min by car. Ayoko pa naman mamissed tong mga appoitnments na to kasi important milestones din sa life namin mag asawa. Sana maka travel pako kahit malaki tiyan ko hehe.

[theEmpress]

MMC din ako sis, heheh. baka magka-sabay pa tayo sa labor room. :-)

Wow! baka magkasabay nga tayo hehe. I'm having a baby boy sa last scan nasa 5 lbs something siya. Naka-package ako sis (semi-pvt room)

Yes sis may nararamdaman ba din ako banda sa vajeyjey hehe parang may pressure, tipong may bubulwak hehe. Paminsan minsan nga medyo masakit pero madalian lang.

Anong package mo sis? and how much?

[theEmpress]

^^ buti ka pa naka-package, hindi ako pinag-package ng OB ko kasi masyado daw limited sa package :-( siguro kasi high risk na ako due to age? medyo na sad nga ako dun kasi malaki din difference pag package. pero when i asked naman sa admin kung di na ba pwede sa package and high risk, pwede pa naman daw. baka yung OB ko lang ang ayaw. eh ayoko na i-push ang issue sa OB baka magalit. hay... :-(

ang pina-prepare nya for private: P150 for normal, P200 for CS, P230 for emergency CS
for semi-private: P130 normal, 180 CS, P200 emergency CS

how much sayo sis and sino OB mo?

[jeuliann]

Sent you a PM sis theEmpress

[belle_v2g]

theEmpress, thank you sis
according to my 19 weeks u/s, we're gonna have another boy (my eldest is turning 7 in august). i am based overseas so dito ako sa australia manganak. we only have 1 public & 1 private hospital here in our area. i work in a private hospital but i will have my baby sa public. very good kase ang health care system dito and i don't have to pay anything. eh sa private, OB pa lang i have to shoulder $3000 - $5000 na kahit may private health insurance ako (which is not practical in our situation because we are currently building our first home) edi save ko na lang yung money diba. mas mahaba nga lang stay ng patient sa private kumpara sa public. saka when we get discharged from the hospital, the midwife will be visiting us at home for follow up care.

Congrats sis belle and bluish! ☺️

36 weeks and 5 days na, nag request pa si doc for another ultrasound and urinalysis, GBS done na last weekend then magiging weekly na din ang check up. Feeling ko anytime na talaga. ❤️

[crzysxycl]

Congrats bluish_mommy! Ang galing sis, hindi ka nakaramdam ng labor pains, yan pa naman kinakatakot ko. Tapos may milk ka na agad.. Sana ako rin ganyan hehe. Did you take supplements ba sis para magkaroon ka agad ng milk?

[duhyan]

Congrats mga sis na nanganak na!
Busy na lately kakaalaga kay baby. Hihi
Good luck and God bless din sa mga malapit na manganak! Kaya nyo yan!

[bluish_mommy]

congrats bluish_mommy, take care and enjoy your baby. scheduled CS ba yan sis?

Supposed to be sched CS pero ang nangyari emergency CS.

[bluish_mommy]

^^^nag umpisa ako sis mag take ng Natalac Saturday lang 3x a day,  before ako manganak, so parang 3days palang ako nagpeprepare. Tapos nung umuwi na kami ng bahay, engorged na breasts ko sa dami ng supply.

[belle_v2g]

Galing naman sis bluish!! Sana ganyan din kasagana yung milk supply ko pag ako nanganak.

[bluish_mommy]

^mindsetting also helps sis. Talagang ni mindset ko na na magpapa BF ako eh

[belle_v2g]

Me too sis! Kasi sa first baby, one month lang akong nagpa bf. Ang bilis lang kasi ng ML ko nun. This time, since I will be spending more time with my baby kasi 6 months ang ML ko, exclusive BF talaga gagawin ko. Sana nga di muna ako bumili ng bottles and breast pump para talagang wala akong ibang option kundi BF e. Medyo naexcite kasi akong mamili. Eh advise dito wag muna mag pump at least after 6 weeks para makuha ni baby lahat ng nutrients pag direct latching.

[simang]

True sis bluish, breastfeeding is a decision talaga. Nasa paniniwala talaga ng katawan ng nanay. This past 2 or 3 days sobrang hapdi na ng nipples ko because of breastfeeding, pag umiiyak si baby kasi gutom naiiyak na din ako kasi masakit na naman. Mamimilipit talaga ko sa sakit kasi mali pa yung latch ni baby tapos nagsstart na magka blister yung nipples ko. Awang awa na Si husband. My family even encourages me na mag formula na lang para pareho kami ni baby na hindi mahirapan, pero talagang sabi ko kelangan kong tiisin. Naka mindset na ko to bf for as long as I can. Lahat ng friends ko sinasabing pinaka mahirap talaga ang first few weeks kaya madaming gumigive up agad sa bf esp first time moms. Mas convenient nga naman ang formula. Pero iba pa din, ewan ko, I get this emotional satisfaction pag nagfifeed kami ni baby. Tiis tiis lang talaga.

And don't ever believe na wala or kokonti ang milk supply mo (unless may medical condition that would result to such). Sobrang powerful ng sucking ng baby magpoproduce at magpoproduce ka ng milk.
