[120515]

sis aylatskie, i feel you! good thing you're going home to your family and you'll have people to take care of you.

my boobs are also really ugly now. the outsides of my boobs are discolored. my tummy is also dark. my husband said i'm a leopard mama to make me feel better about them.

[macheoc]

crzysxycl 28w na kami ni baby sis. grabe unting push na [textspeak!] 30's na. nag check out na rin kami other hospitals. yung slmc-qc talagang service talaga yung habol namin. gusto ko lang din dun kasi yung records andun na, tapos medyo familiar na sa mga tao (dun din kasi nahospitalize mom ko late last year). kaso yun nga yung gastos lang talaga. another option is delgado hospital, pwede naman si OB dun kaso yun din si hubby mapili. last namin kinoconsider is providence hospital. medyo ok facilities, kaso yun lang bago pa talaga wala pa akong mahanap na feedback masyado.


wow, aylatskie and 120515 lapit nyo na! praying for your healthy pregnancies and safe deliveries sa full term nyo

[aylatskie]

Hi mga mumsies. Routine kasi yata ang ultrasound dito every check up lalo if sa private clinics.  Need to modify my foods na kasi sobra na ang weight gain ko to think I still have barely 2 months to eat and sleep. Hahaha.

[120515]

^ sis macheoc, i only turned 23 weeks today hahaha! but i've been told to diet and exercise by my ob because of rapid weight gain

^^ sis aylatskie, try walking if you can. my ob said i should walk after meals. i'm now exercising 30 minutes a day to help control my weight gain

[crzysxycl]

Aylatskie - every visit pala utz mo sis. Gusto ko rin sana ganyan para makita ko lagi.si baby.

Macheoc - kami rin sis service ang habol sa slmc. Yung providence hospital, ito ba yung along q.ave?

[aylatskie]

I'm thinking really to cut some on my rice portion because I can have 2 cups. I'm not even taking my milk now. In 5 weeks 5 kg gain also.

[belle_v2g]

I started cutting down my rice intake since day 1, currently at 36 weeks and total weight gain is only 7kg. Di ako tumaba, no oedema. Baby is just the right size. Kaya tummy ko lang malaki sakin. No stretch marks too. Just short of breath, the horrendous rashes and sleep deprivation plus back pain are my main probs.

[120515]

does pregnancy slow our metabolism?

i've always had a construction worker's diet ever since i was young and it didn't change when i got pregnant. i eat the same amount of rice for lunch and dinner as before. but i've never experienced this much weight gain in my life - i've always struggled to put on weight.

though i have been very inactive since i got pregnant so i resolved to start exercising religiously after my checkup last saturday.

i don't feel heavy though - i find it easy to move around and i can run when i have to. no stretchmarks but i did experience a lot of itching - good thing the itching's gone. the darkening is my biggest problem now - i'm morena so i'm prone to it

[theEmpress]

^^ sis belle_v2g medyo na-alarm ako sa 7kg. that is just around 15lbs. your ideal weight should be at 30lbs already at 36 weeks. weight gain for the entire pregnancy should be between 25-35lbs. full term ka na on your 37th week, kulang ka pa sa 25lbs. is your OB not alarmed? just concerned sis. maybe you should ask your OB.

[Which is Witch?]

Speaking of weight gain. Grabe na rin ang gain ko. 30lbs na.😭 hehe. Balak ko sana magdiet pagkapanganak kaso nabasa ko wag daw magdiet kasi baka naman yung breastmilk ang macompromise. Hehe. Siguro magbabawas nalang din ako ng carbs.😊

[belle_v2g]

theEmpress, hi sis! No, they are not alarmed at all. Though I expect to gain more in the next few weeks. at least 10-15kg weight gain in over 40 weeks ahould be sufficient. Ganito rin ako with my eldest kaya i never had trouble losing the baby weight post partum.

[macheoc]

Ako rin I'm watching my weight gain din. Kaso di ko mapigilan yung "midnight snack" which is super wrong.  patay talaga ako sa next check up ko haha. I'm trying to cut down my meals - mas frequent pero smaller portions. pero itong pa third na ako grabe appetite ko, kaya kong mag buffet lagi hehe. Though on the downside, I've noticed that everytime I eat a very heavy meal, my tummy balls up and tightens. So I am now more conscious not to let that happen again. Kaso at 28 weeks I don't look pregnant. I just look... busog hahahah. Ako ata yung di nag-pa-pop na preggers. Gusto ko pa naman sana yung bilog na bilog hihi

crzysxcl yes sis, yung along q. ave tabi ng puregold. mura din rates nila

120515 ay sorry sis! kala ko malapit ka na! don't worry ako rin grabe weight gain ko hehe

[simang]

38 weeks here and I've gained 19lbs so far. Yung katawan ko mismo hindi nagbago except my tummy's really bilog and heavy now. Yung sa weight gain, 15-25 lbs ang sabi saken ni OB na average, depende din yata sa built kasi most petite women gain more than that.

^sis, my baby bump was more like bilbil until my 7th month. Around 30-31 weeks, ayun biglang laki! As in bilog na bilog sya especially now na 38 weeks na. Around that time lang din ako nagkaron ng stretchmarks. Even my weight gain biglang bumongga nung 8th month ko. May time na in a month, wala akong weight gain, pero nung 8th month ko na, I gained 6lbs in 2 weeks. Haha! Ayun. Pero I feel you, kasi mas nafeel kong pregnant ako nung bumilog na tummy ko. Consistent na din ang back pain at ang hirap na talaga matulog. My baby's almost 7lbs na din kasi so mabigat na talaga.

[macheoc]

^ wow 6lbs in 2 weeks! Naku totoo pala yung be careful with what you wish for haha. Yan na pala yug time na bibigat talaga. Lapit mo na sis! Praying for your safe delivery 😊

[theEmpress]

good to know sis. :-)  sana ganyan din ako mabilis mag-shed ng weight after birth. kain lang mga mommies for as long as healthy ang kinakain natin and we don't go beyond the recommended. we deserve it at ang hirap magbuntis, hehe.

[belle_v2g]

^nako sis, i think i'm being naughty nga sometimes because of my cravings. i have little to no self control at all. may times din na napapalakas ang kain ko. i had my check this afternoon (currently at 36 weeks) next check will be at 38 weeks na. so far so good.

[crzysxycl]

Kainggit naman sis belle! Sana ako rin hindi mahirapan bumalik sa pre-pregnancy weight ko.

Ako ata pinakamalaking weight gain, 18 kilos and counting. Galing kami kay OB kanina, bumaba ng 2 lbs weight ko in 2 weeks. ayaw ng OB ko ito hehe, buti nalang lumaki raw si baby based on fundal height. I will be having my OGTT tomorrow, grabe kailangan pala mag fasting haha. At apat na beses daw ang turok kasi FBS daw muna. :/ Sana makapagpa CAS na rin bukas. Nalito ako sa OB ko, last time I asked her sabi nya week 32 pa pwede. I asked again kanina, sabi baka hindi na pwede kasi mag 30 weeks na ako but she still gave me a request, baka payagan pa raw ako. Mga sis, ano bang mas OK, 3D or 4D? Pag CAS ba automatic na 3D or 4D na sya or meron yung ordinary na ultrasound lang? Sorry sa noob question. thanks!

[Jeannybaby]

^ Hi sis, yung CAS ko yung parang ordinary lang, 2D Pero meron din naman nagooffer ng mga CAS na may 3D/4D rin like yung World of My Baby (W.O.M.B)  sa Podium. I had a 3D/4D done there kasi gusto ko talaga makita features ng baby ko.. nakakatuwa sya makita kasi at least medyo na-imagine ko na hitsura kahit papano hehe... Depends sayo if gusto mo photos (3D) or video (4D) although mas pricey ng onti yung may video na kasama. 

[belle_v2g]

Sis crzysxycl, ok pa gain mo sis. Yung friends ko nag gain ng 27 kg saka 24 kg hindi pa full term!

Hi sis! I had mine at OGUSCA Festival Mall in Alabang. Since we were more interested in knowing about our baby's development, we had yung 2D where all measurements were taken (length ng arms, legs, etc.), binilang yung mga daliri, sinilip yung lips,  internal organs kung 4-chamber ba yung heart, artery/vein ng umbilical cord, etc. Advise nila na gawin to between 22 and 26 weeks para mas madali daw makita. Almost P2,700 to. While there, we also inquired about 3D/4D para may picture kami ng face ni baby at may video din. Sabi pag 28 weeks naman daw. Pero di daw detailed ito katulad ng 2D, but mas pricey at around P4,350.
