pinkdolly - sis CS ka din ba? bakit daw CS?

[pinkdolly]

Si Which is witch - yes CS daw ulit ako gusto ko sana itry mag-VBAC kaso dapat daw mas maliit si baby kesa sa panganay ko. E mukhang mas malaki itong 2nd baby ko. Masarap kasing kumain hehe..

kinausap ko nga this morning si baby sabi ko after Sunday na sya lumabas hehe! next week ko karirin ang pag walking. pag naglalakad kase kami every morning feeling ko bumababa na lalo si baby.

winter season officially started here yesterday. nagtatanong tanong na rin ako ng ways on how to keep baby warm kase ang OA ng ginaw samin kahit di nagssnow. may binili kaming fluffy onesie (sakto on sale) siguro i'll add two more para may kapalitan. struggle neto ang pagpapaligo din sa baby and kung pano din ako maliligo hahaha!

[120515]

^ sis which, thanks, sis! it's not yet a full-blown cold but i know it will become one if i don't take the necessary precautions. the other problem i have is getting cuts in my nostrils, which is caused by the dry air. the day after i arrived in sydney, i noticed i had bloody snot when i blow my nose (sorry for tmi, sissies). does anybody know how to solve this?

^ sis belle, yup! planning a wedding now seems like a breeze compared to preparing for baby to come out! hahaha! i can't imagine how cold it is over there, i already find sydney really cold! hope you find more warm onesies for baby soon!

have safe and happy pregnancies everyone!

belle_v2g - ay buti pa dyan malamig. hehe. dito sa pinas, lalaki ang bill ng kuryente dahil laging naka aircon sa super init. hehe time na yan na madressupan si baby.hehe

120515 - sis i've had this before. Yung may blood sa nose. Di ko pinansin, kasi i thought it was nothing. Pero nung preggy ko nga lang naexperience yung ganun, ewan ko kung may kinalaman. hehe. Nawala lang siya on its own.

[aylatskie]

Oh yeah that bloody thing when you blow your nose. Before sakin as in fresh blood sa tissue. I'm planning to consult an EENT doctor because there might be something with the capillaries inside my nose.

how are you finding sydney sis and how long will you be staying there for? re: the nosebleeding, i always experience it here during the last days of autumn til winter because of the low temperature. our mucous membranes are not as lush during this time of the year and the dry air causes the thinning blood vessels in the nose to break, hence the blood. you can grab FESS or normal saline spray, or FLO from the local chemist. those are safe naman.

sis, super ginaw namin dito pero they were saying na mas ok daw magka baby dito pag winter kaysa summer. siguro if i have a choice, mas piliin kong mag baby ng spring time para sakto lang. ganyan din complain ng parents ko, super nag adjust sila pagdating dito kasi ang laki ng difference sa temps. lagi kaming below 5 degrees na tuwing early morning. mas magiging worse pa to sa july. worried lang ako sis kay baby kasi umiiyak talaga sila pag giniginaw. mukhang need kong mamili ng extra warm kumot.

[120515]

thanks, sissies witch and aylatskie!

sis belle, sydney is nice but very cold! i get lots of exercise here just walking up and down the hill to go to work and get my dinner every day!

[arkimommy]

Hello mommies!! Tagal ko nawala dito, I hope everyone's doing well!!!

26 weeks today and finally confirmed that I'm having a baby girl! So excited nag-start na din ako mag-shopping nung nag-vacay ako abroad, kakatuwa mamili ng baby stuff!! I just moved in to my new condo kaya start naman ako sa nursery by next week, but plan ko same room muna kami during the first few months Yaya hunting na din ako since I'm living alone na now. Hirap mag-hanap ng trusted yaya!! Anyway, I've been reading a lot about cloth diapers, where can I buy those? Gusto ko din siya i-try. Sorry feeling first time mommy hehe during my first pregnancy di pa uso mga ganyan

[FliPPy_LaDdY]

Hello mga sis, im back uli. Im on my 34th week now, still having PUPPPS but the oatmeal soap, benadryl cream and lotion helped to reduce the itchiness. 3rd week ko na with this condition, so far last week yung very intense ang itchiness nya to the point i will only stop scratching until i bled

Yesterday i had my blood test to check if i also have problems with my liver (which can also cause of itching), thank God everythings clear and no need for me to induce to avoid complication. Pag ganun daw kc need n ilsbas agad c baby.

Thankfully, nothing serious except for puppps. Kailangan ko lang muna tiisin hanggang ready na lumabas si baby. Nag sick leave n din ako from work til my delivery in July. I dont think kaya ko pa magwork esp i can feel baby is prepping n sa paglabas nya, panay exercise sa tyan ko, haha! Ang likot ang sakit ng galaw nya minsan pero mas ok n yun kc alam kong okay siya at growing inside her mommy's belly.

Sorry sa long post ko.

[120515]

^ sis arkimommy, i bought all my cloth diapers online directly from the suppliers. i'm not sure if they deliver to ph though - i have blueberry and grovia. planning to by some more of these two and the charlie banana brand later on.

^ sis flippy_laddy, it's okay to post long stuff glad you are managing your puppps. i had some itchiness a few weeks back but managed to stop it with an organic moisturiser. but mine wasn't puppps though.

have safe and happy pregnancies everyone especially to our sissies already scheduled to give birth in the coming weeks!

[Which is Witch?]

belle_v2g - grabe naman sis, below 5 degrees. Super lamig nga nun. Go shopping na nga ng mga pangwinter clothes sis!

arkimommy - congrats sa baby girl sis! sis, eto binabasa kong thread for cloth diapers

http://www.femalenetwork.com/girltalk/index.php/topic,278524.320.html

ang nakita kong mura na cloth diapers, sa vezeesclosetph, yan yung username niya sa instagram. check mo sis!

FliPPy_LaDdY - sayang di effective sayo yung oatmeal soap sis. pero 34 weeks ka na pala sis, konting tiis na lang!

[belle_v2g]

sorbolene soap and moisturiser helped a lot with my puppp. mine started second trimester, itchiness controlled by two weeks use of mild cortisone cream. when i stopped, they started coming out again so i just avoided all possible causes. i changed my laundry detergent, bath soap, deodorant to milder brands. rashes tend to itch more when i use something scented.

120515, arkimommy
i admire everyone who are so dedicated with the use of cloth diapers. looks like we are sticking to disposables due to the current season here. it will be really hard for us to dry our clothes.

which is witch
i might get some more onesies na pang 3-6 months sis. my friend had her baby 6 weeks ago, di na daw agad kasya yung 0-3 months na garments! siguro i'd go with layers para easy to add and remove. also looking into sleeping bags.

[macheoc]

Hi mga momsies! Medyo matagal ako nag hibernate kaya long backread. Wedding kasi ng brother ko kaya eto buntis na buntis sa gown the other day hehe

Grabe bilis ng panahon! Some of us will be giving birth soon! Exciting pero kakakaba din at the same time. 30 weeks na kami ni baby this weekend, ambilis. So happy was able to reach 30s. Medyo hirap kasi kami conceiving. But I was surprised that my little one is a fighter. Sana tuloy tuloy till full term

Speaking of full-term, I know I asked this question before. 40 weeks pala pregnancy, growing up I thought 36 weeks lang since 9 months. I'll submit my leave form na kasi. Dr. prefers to start my leave by the time I give birth. I asked my co-worker who gave birth last year and she said the HR requested for her to take a leave na 3 weeks before the due date. Well I understand na for safety reasons lang din yun and for both the mom and the baby. Bakit pa kasi di pa mapirmahan ni PNoy yung 100 days leave eh! kainis! hehe

So far so good naman pregnancy-wise. Though I started feeling uncomfortable sleeping due to pinching pain below the breast (breastbone ata yun). Also when I eat too much, or sometimes depends on the food, parang may acid reflux though I don't throw up. Meron lang talaga parang acidic taste. Cramps din in the morning when I wake up, and always right leg.

As for gamit, haayyy wala pa rin nabibili hirap mag decide haha. for example convertible crib, play pen crib, or yung next to me. pati bottles can't decide which ones to buy. Enough na ba starter packs? how about choosing breast pumps? Sorry, if Im sounding stressed, talagang clueless lang 

[bethz14]

Hello mga sis!

I was reading this thread ever since I've learned that I am pregnant. Almost 6 months na ako and this is my 3rd pregnancy.

Share ko lang mga sis nangyari when I had my ultrasound on May 13, a day before my birthday. My Ob advised me to get CAS on my 23rd week but I was so excited to know the gender kase I wanted a boy since my 2 daughters na ako. So pa secret ako nagpa ultrasound, 2d lang on my 20th week... And medyo na sad ako kase its 99% girl. Only my husband learned about this on my actual birthday and we just prayed na blessing si baby and we've accepted it na.

Finally, I had my CAS at OGUSCA yesterday. And was so shocked and in tears when the ob- sonologist confirmed we're having a baby boy! Grabe ang iyak ko! Ang saya saya lang.

But here's the thing, may finding sa anomaly scan nya. May nakitang Echogenic Structures sa Left Ventricle ng heart nya and recommended na magpa 2d echo on my 28th week. Did anyone experience this? I am so worried. Next week pa actual check up ko sa Ob ko.

Thanks sa magrereply!

[Jeannybaby]

^ bethz14 congrats on your baby boy! sis naiintindihan ko yung feeling ng super worry sa CAS, kasi nung nagCAS ako nung 28 weeks, my OB said meron syang something na hindi makita sa heart ng baby ko (forgot what it's called, but she wants to rule out a particular heart defect) and she referred me to a pediatrician specializing in cardiology. Hindi ko nga alam na meron pala nun, na pwede i-2D echo ang baby! Anyway sabi ng OB ko magaling daw yung nirefer nya sakin na doctor, one of the best in the Philippines--si Dr. Jonas del Rosario. So on that same day na nirefer ako, I got the 2D echo kasi alam ko I will just worry until I know what's going on talaga with my baby. Very reassuring naman si Dr. Jonas, and I can tell na magaling talaga siya. After ko nag pa-2D echo sa kanya ang laki ng relief ko as he said it was nothing to worry about.  So sis, it doesn't have to be something serious but I get the worrying part! If you don't have yet a pedia-cardiologist try mo yung nirefer sa akin, maganda ang experience ko sa kanya kasi nagexplain talaga siya ng maayos and sinasabi nya talaga, o yan, makakatulog ka na sa gabi, wala naman problema.

[LeAnEn512]

Logging in ...due date is on  September 15! Already 25 weeks and 2 days. In advise din Sa akin magpa CAS this June. San ka magpa CAS sis and how much? QC ako 

[120515]

^ sis macheoc, for bottles, we haven't bought anything yet because all our friends have advised us to wait and see what baby actually likes to use. my friend who recently gave birth ended up using what the hospital gave her because that's what her son likes to drink from.

for breastpump, my main consideration was that it's convenient to carry around and reliable because i'll be using it when i go back to work after my 4-month maternity leave. i decided on getting the spectra s1.

^ sis bethz14, sorry sis but i don't have any experience with this. good thing there's sis jeannybaby giving great advice! we'll include you and your baby in our prayers that everything will be alright!

^ welcome sis leanen512! there were a couple of places mentioned upthread where you can have cas in ph. but maybe you can get a recommendation from your doctor? my ob's office was the one that scheduled my detailed scan/cas a few weeks back - we just showed up on our appointment date and time with the letter from my ob.

[bethz14]

Sobrang thanks mga sis at kay Sis Jeannybaby... Nakaka worry talaga... I'll check with my ob and take note ko ang suggestion mo sis... Hoping talaga ako na nothing serious.

Goodluck sa atin mga mommies!

[JziahPrielle]

Hi mga sis 35 weeks 5 days pregnant here and i just recently have my BPS ultrasound. Normal naman lahat ng findings but there is a remarks na one loop of nuchal cord si baby girl. sabi naman ni OB it is something not to worry kaso nga lang i keep on worrying and thinking other things because of this. is there someone here who experience this?
