Babies due on THIRD QUARTER OF 2016 (JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER) - Thread 2

[crzysxycl]

belle - haha, excited na hubby mo na makita si baby sis. ingat and enjoy mo yung lakad nyo tomorrow.

arkimommy - congrats sa baby girl sis! re cloth diapers, i've been reading reviews na rin kung anong brand ang maganda. nakakatuwa mga prints, feeling ko addicting bumili nito. i'm scouting na rin kung saan pwde bumili, preferably online stores na nag aaccept ng credit card payments, wala kasi ako time (and patience haha) na pumila sa bank para mag deposit. take care sis!

flippy_laddy - wow 34 weeks, konti nalang. sis anong test yung ginagawa to check the liver? and kelan dapat gawin? yung may PUPPPS lang ba candidate for this test? sorry sis dami tanong. thank you!

macheoc - i have the same sentiments sis, haha. ano nangyari sa 100 days ML, ang tagal ni PNoy, sana umabot tayo. sayang yung extra time we could spend with our LOs. On filing ML, 2 weeks before ang sinabi naman sa akin ng mga kateam ko pero it's up to you naman din sis. may iba ako kakilala, earlier pa kasi need na nila mag rest at hindi na keri mag work until their 37th week. re bottles, we bought yung avent starter pack lang muna, sakto kasi nag sale din. as for breastpumps naman, nagbasa basa rin muna ako ng reviews, gusto ko kasi nung electric para mas efficient pagbalik ko sa work (im eyeing spectra m1 naman) although bumili rin muna ako ng cheap na manual pump (farlin brand lang) kasi i read sa thread about breastfeeding na ganon ginawa ng ibang mommies para lang mastimulate milk production upon giving birth. may cases kasi na wala pa milk ang mommy, lalo na raw pag CS. eh most hospitals ata ngayon ineencourage na talaga ang breastfeeding.

bethz - pag pray natin yan sis.

Update: Galing kami OB yesterday, check lang uli ng hb ni baby. ok naman daw sabi ni OB and happy daw sya kasi kahit i have multiple myomas na kalaban ni baby eh healthy pa rin sya, napakalikot na talaga. IE uli, same findings, soft cervix pero tama lang daw ito at 32 weeks. OB also said na 5 weeks nalang safe na lumabas si baby, bale July 15 pwede na sya mag "Hello world!" Nakaka excite na nakakakaba. I'll have another ultrasound on my 36th week to check yung location ng myoma ko since iba iba raw ang behavior ng myoma pag preggy. Hoping and praying na sana mawala nalang silang lahat, i have 4 btw. God is so good kasi nasa labas naman sila, mas mahirap kasi ata kung katabi ng baby. Yun nga lang kasi on my 5th month may nakitang isa na pwedeng maging obstruction paglabas ni baby. Sana lumipat nalang sya ng pwesto para may chance for NSD. Kung hindi man, ayos lang ma CS, importante safe kami pareho ni baby love. Re hiccups, sabi ko dumalas kaya advise ni OB damihan ko pa raw ang fluid intake. Pinapag dahan dahan na rin ako ng kilos kasi mahirap na mapaaga ng panganak. Next check up ko after 2 weeks.

Take care sisses!

same with the breast pump, avent din kinuha ko single electric pero lagi kong chinicheck yung spectra haha! i heard good reviews about it saka sa medela. pero ttry ko muna yung avent.

crzysxycl
ano daw plan ni OB sa mga myoma mo sis?
sakin naman may nakitang fibroid cyst sa uterus. pero di naman daw cancerous. parang cells lang na nag over multiply.

[cheniwin]

Hi sissies!
regarding cloth diapering nagjoing ako sa modern cloth nappying pinay
cloth diaper addict
groups sa fb and educated myself first
nagbuy ako ng mga euc 2nd hand ng ibat ibang type and brand pra matry ni baby tsaka na pang ako buy pag alam ko na what is hiyang sa knya pero for the first weeks prefold and snappi lang gagamitin ko its a modern lampin application
I have unimom na nagamit ko pa nun sa first born ko mine is 3 years old na
pero i am super eyeing sa spectra s1 bili na lang ako before bumalik sa work
naloloka ako sa oby ko 4 times a day ako pinapainom ng duvadilan and duphaston
with pampakapit pa na sipository parang ang oa so talagang palit ako ng oby kahit 31 weeks na ako
hindi naman mababa si baby sa ultrasound ok naman tapos gusto cs na ako agad 36th week pa lang

[crzysxycl]

belle - kung matuloy na CS ako sis, aalisin na rin daw yung mga pwedeng alisin na myoma. usually daw kasi talagang madugo ito, kaya yung iba hindi talaga ginagalaw. iba pa ba sis yung fibroid? ang myoma kasi type din ng fibroid. ang liliit lang ng myoma ko dati. nung nag start kami ni hubby ng workup nung 2012, isa lang myoma ko tapos 1cm lang ang size kaya dedma lang. hanggang sa dumami, tapos now na preggy, lumaki sila. ilan fibroid mo sis?

cheniwin - bakit ka raw CS sis? walang clear explanation OB mo? ang weird nga ha.. hindi ka naman CS sa first born mo sis?

[120515]

^ sis cryz, hope your doctor will be able to take out as many myomas as she can. both my mama and my cousin also had tumors and these were removed during their cs. during my first ultrasound, my doctor saw what looked like one but she told me not to worry about it because it may just go away on its own. she even measured it that time and it was probably 1 cm or so. it disappeared fully on my third ultrasound. praying that it never comes back.

^ sis cheniwin, a doctor that prescribes too much meds is not a very good doctor, did she explain why you need them? do you have a very risky pregnancy? if you feel uncomfortable with her, then you should change ob.

^ baby update, baby's getting more active every day, she moves at more regular times now (very early in the morning, mid to late morning, mid to late afternoon, and sometime after dinner). we also know what stuff will make her respond like music and directly talking to her. last night, my husband played his favorite edm song and placed the phone close to my tummy. we felt baby dancing! we could feel her tiny feet kicking and hands moving around at the same time. i hope she gets her papa's sense of rhythm - i am hopeless (very uncoordinated and not graceful at all! hahaha)

yesterday, we had a little scare, it was raining all day long and while we were crossing a park to get to a church, we got caught by sudden strong winds - it was the type that could knock you over. my husband took my hand and we both just ran. we could see big branches falling from the trees all around the park. we made it to the church but we were both soaked. we took a taxi back to the hotel,
quickly took off our wet clothes, and had warm showers. then we both drank our vitamin c hot and napped the rest of the afternoon. thank God we didn't catch the cold. we're playing it safe now though and checkng wind speeds before we decide whether to walk around the city or just cab to our destination.

have safe and happy pregnancies everyone!

[NiceWife]

I'm 24 weeks pregnant on my 2nd baby. Next schedule kay ob mag ultrasound na kame. Medyo worried lang ako kasi medyo mababa yung tyan ko and feeling ko din pero everytime naman na tinatanong ko si ob sabi nya normal naman daw hindi daw mababa, so naguguluhan ako kaya gusto ko magpa second opinion. Plan ko after ko magpa ultrasound mag change ako ng ob para kasing nagmamadali si ob eh hindi nya ko naaasikaso masyado or napag cocompare ko lang sila nung previous ob ko. By the way goodluck saten mga mommies! 

[theEmpress]

sis macheoc, congrats! ako din 8 years in the making si baby. extra care sis. re maternity leave, the advise is to file your leave on your due date which is the 40th week. nasa ultrasound mo yan makikita. then mag-iwan ka ng blank na sick leave form so when you deliver before your due date, your office will fill that out. with that, you can maximize your 2 months ML. mas okay to spend more time at home when the baby is with you na, rather than earlier na wala pa si baby. that is if your OB clears you and you have no other complications and can still continue working. i am on my 37th week and i still drive and work. on the 100-days, senate palang nag-pass ng bill, it has to go to congress. but congress was suspended di ba for the elections. so once they resume palang matake-up. if they pass it, it goes to the president for his okay. that is kung walang revisions. then gagawa pa ng guidelines. in effect, waley tayong pag-asa, heheh.

start buying na sis, kasi when you grow big and baby grows heavier mahirapan ka na mag-ikot to buy stuff. unless  you do it online. but believe me it's better to buy stuff you can see. ako nahirapan na ako mag-move on my 36th month. don't buy bottles yet, aim for exclusive breastfeeding. that's good for your baby. if and when you eventually buy, go for the glass bottles. for breast pump, you can buy that when you're going to work na. medela and spectra are the best brands in the market. :-)


sis bethz14, will pray all will be well.

be safe mommies!

[crzysxycl]

^thanks sis 120515! nice to know nawala na yung sayo on your third utz. i heard these are benign naman kaso iba pa rin feeling diba if you have something inside you that grows (other than the baby ofcourse) first time i found out i was really scared but my OB told me not to, maraming women daw talagang meron nito. hoping na hindi maka affect kay baby lalo na in 5 weeks pwede na sya lumabas. haha, kakatuwa naman baby mo sis, im sure very smart yan.

theempress, macheoc sali ako dyan mga sis na natagalan bago mag conceive, took us 4 yrs naman. daming tests, gastos, pagod na pinagdaanan, stressful din but it was all worth it. God is good all the time! Kudos to us for not giving up! Take care mommies!

[macheoc]

Hi girls, thanks for the tips and words of encouragement 
update 30 weeks na kami ni baby. line of 3s na hehe. OB's happy with the results ng latest utz and my weight gain. though we noticed na mas madalas na BH ko. May times na harder to breathe na rin lately, parang gustong mag burst yung tummy ko. Super active na din ni baby at certain times. Yung tipong sa bladder and down there nararamdaman as if she's coming out. Sorry TMI pero minsan parang sa may butt pa.  pero sabi ko nga, tiis tiis lang kahit masakit na minsan. iniisip ko na lang yung iba mas mahihirap pa pinagdadaanan sakin tapos ako mag rereklamo na.

crzysxcyl and theEmpress nakaka inspire to know your stories. 3 years naman kami ni hubby. di lang talaga matantya. praying for our safe and healthy pregnancies. blessing talaga tong LOs natin. crzysxcl praying din that your myomas wont obstruct your LO.

theEmpress aww that's sad re: Maternity Leave na di na tayo abot. Parang yung cousin ko lang na nag intay nung Feb, di rin umabot. But I hope they'd push through with this for the sake of the mothers. Medyo taken for granted kasi, kala sa birthing lang ang trabaho ng moms.

Nicewife I know I should be advising you to trust your doctor, but I'd say na when you're in doubt and not comfy with your doctor, you can always go for a 2nd opinion. I changed doctors din as I entered 2nd trimester.

120515 glad you guys are safe. scary nga yon! but you are always protected by God. ako rin ang active ni baby. parang bigla siyang naglililikot lately.

cheniwin ako rin nka suppository pang kapit kasi nga sa contractions. dunno din until when depends sa next appt namin ni ob. ang alam ko lang downside is pag naka progesterone ka naman may tendency na towards the end ayaw naman ng body mo maglabas, so baka ma induce naman. not so sure

belle_v2g thanks sis, looks like gearing towards avent din kami, reasonable naman ang price pero quality ok naman ata yung reviews

JziahPrielle sorry since no idea ako. pero if your ob says nothing to worry about then I guess everything's ok naman

LeAnEn512 welcome! usually kung sang hospital ka meron. I had mine at St Luke's but my second with my CAS (di masyadong kita kidneys kasi nung time na yun so I was asked to have a second 1), we tried Providence hospital because we wanted to check out the place too. It's a new hospital, pero ok naman yung services. sa mga clinics naman, nasamahan ko magpa CAS cousin ko last year sa MDCare. It's in front of st luke's qc and they a branch in Fishermall

bethz14 congrats on your baby boy sis! wish come true  we will include your LO in our prayers. hopefully ok naman si baby and nothing serious

[belle_v2g]

crzysxycl
i asked the doctor if the cyst will cause any problem, sabi nya no naman daw but if maging hindrance man sya let's say sa paglabas ni baby, then i-CS ako at dun tanggalin. worried nga si hubby, sakin wala lang naman. but i'd keep this in mind at imonitor ko rin.

120515
stay safe sis. i'm glad baby is healthy and responding well to stimulations. how's your nose bleeding?

macheoc
yes sis, good brand naman sya so hopefully di ako biguin ng breast pump kundi magsisisi talaga ako haha!

theEmpress
i agree sis, ako din parang naisip ko na sana di muna ko bumili ng bottles para EBF din ang mindset ko. pero ok na rin, nasa box pa naman yung bottle sets and no plans of opening until probably when i go back to work pag magstart na akong mag express.
 
update:
purchased other lacking items for baby such as bath tub, tub support, additional fluffy all in one and change pad cover. next time na yung additional winter blanky. i was so happy kase there's a baby shop here na very dear ang pricetags, they went 40-50% off and sakto winter outfit din ang on sale. ayun nanginig na naman ako sa excitement.

and lastly, i was able to make it to our appointment kahapon (sunday). kaya i can give birth anytime na kase last lakwatsa ko na yun haha!

[Which is Witch?]

belle_v2g - wow sis! nakapagshopping ka pa kahit manganganak ka na. Ako nga lagi ako naglilista ng mga bibilhin ko, then pagnasa mall na ko, hindi ko rin nabibili yung mga nasa listahan dahil pagod na ako. haha:) Goodluck! you can start walking na! Goodluck sis!

bethz14 - sa OGUSCA din ako sis. Sinong doctor yung nagCAS sayo? Congrats sa baby boy!   pagpray natin na

JziahPrielle - chinecheck ba talaga sa BPS kung may loop sis? Or nakita lang may loop sa chord kaya nilagay don sa ultrasound report? ako, i remember before pinacheck ko kung naka ikot yung cord niya kasi daw minsan cause yun nung fetal hiccups. Buti hindi naman nakaloop, pero sabi ng doctor, they don't usually check daw yung chord. Kasi wala naman magagawa if ever, isstress ko lang daw sarili ko. sayo sis, ano sabi ni ob?

cheniwin - sis bakit daw need mo uminom non? ako kasi duvadilan 3x a day ang reseta sakin, then utrogestan 2x a day. but take it as needed lang naman. Namention ko kasi na nakakafeel ako ng cramps then madalas tumigas tummy ko, in short nakakafeel ako ng contractions. So yung utrogestan tinetake ko once a day lang then yung duvadilan 3x a day. Takot kasi ako magpreterm labor kasi may schedule na ko for CS. Sa office kasi, wala kong magawa kapag nanigas tummy ko, unlike pagnasa bahay, pwede akong humiga kaya i make sure na iniinom ko yung meds lalo na't nagddrive pa din ako papuntang work. ayoko magrisk. Tiwala naman ako kay OB, siya din kasi ob ng ate ko before nung buntis siya. If duda ka talaga sa doctor mo, pwede ka talaga lumipat. Di ko din kasi bet yung ob ko before, kaya lumipat ako ng ob.

120515 - nakakatuwa naman si baby mo! si baby ko, may time na malikot siya super, may time din na parang swim swim lang siya. hehe. scary yung experience niyo. Good thing, you and your husband are both okay!

NiceWife - naku, di nga okay yung nagmamadali na doctor. Ako sinusulit ko lagi pagmay appointment ako. change ob na kung hindi ka comfortable sakanya.

macheoc - sis, yan din issue ko before. Di ako makadecide kung play pen or yung wooden crib. I guess, kanya kanyang preference nga yan. ako, I ended up buying a convertible crib. ever since kasi gusto ko talaga yung wooden crib, pero of course, madami need iconsider like yung safety, budget, etc. kaya talagang napaisip din ako. hehe. eh naisip ko, gustong gusto ko talaga yung crib, kung hindi ko bibilhin now, baka sa 2nd baby ko naman pangarapin yung crib, unfair naman kay 1st baby. haha. go na sa shopping while you still can. Ako di na talaga ko tumatagal maglakad sa mall. hehe. and sis, same tayo, mas madalas BH ko. Nagaalala nga ako pagganun. Kaya pinagpapahinga na rin ako ni ob. Ikaw sis, nagwowork ka pa ba? I'm taking utrogestan , suppository din, pero pede din inumin. Sabi ng ob ko, walang kinalaman daw yung pag-inom ng pampakapit don sa pagprogress ng labor in the future. di daw totoo yun na dahil doon kaya naiinduce or hindi nagpoprogress labor. ano tinatake mong meds for the contractions?

theEmpress - sis same tayo, i still drive and work. apir! haha. mag 34 weeks na ko this week. pero, i just have 2 more days para sa work. my ob advised me to rest na on my 34th week kasi madalas na manigas tummy ko. hindi ako pwede magpreterm labor kasi scheduled na yung CS ko.

crzysxycl - lapit ka narin manganak sis! grabe no parang kailan lang. Yung ibang preggy, pinaglalakad lakad no, tayo dahan dahan lang sa kilos. hehe. Ako nga ayoko na talaga kumilos sa totoo lang sa takot kong magpreterm labor. hehe

re TTC , We never had issues with ttc, pero i had miscarriage before kaya rainbow baby ko to. Super precious talaga ng ating mga LOs

take care mga mommies!

[cheniwin]

Which is which:
thanks sa advice CS ako before, mukang un nga ata ang purpose ni doc para hindi ako magpreterm,hindi pala talaga pwede mag contract pag i-CS ka na, hindi nya lang ineexplain sakin mabuti but 4x and suppository is parang oa na for me

nakakafeel din ba kayo nun pain that runs across your belly? parang minsan from top to pempem hihi or across side to side minsan un pain nkakatakot kasi hangang sa pempem part pero mabilis na mabilis lang

[belle_v2g]

which is witch
tumatakas lang ako kay hubby pag nagsshop. nagtataka sya bakit nababawasan bank acct namin tuwing iccheck nya hahaha! joint kasi kami. patay malisya ako lagi pero alam na nya yun. kasi nakikita naman nya na puro pambaby binibili ko. 😂

cheniwin
pwedeng ligament lang din yun masakit sis.
or could possibly caused by the hormone relaxin na nirerelease ng katawan natin during pregnancy para irelax ang ligaments as preparation for childbirth. sa start ng third trimester i felt that generalised discomfort down there na parang naghihiwalay pelvic bones ko. explanation ng midwife dahil nga daw sa hormones. 

[Which is Witch?]

cheniwin - siguro nga sis, para iwas preterm labor. pero ako naman sis, nafifeel ko talaga na nagcocontract na kaya pinainom na ko. as needed lang talaga yung paginom. Ako na nagdedecide kung itetake ko or hindi. parang nafifeel ko yan, akala ko nga before, UTI eh, eh nung naclear na UTI ko, nafifeel ko padin. sabi lang ni ob, baka weight ni baby.

 belle_v2g - hahaha! takas lang pala. understood na yan sis. haha. buti nga kamo not for you ang binbili but for the baby. hehe

[bethz14]

Thanks sa mga sis sa prayers!

Sis Which is Witch- si Dra. Ignacio yung nag CAS sa kin sa Ogusca

[loidyloids]

Hi mga sis! Check up ko kahapon, 75 kls na ako. Pinagstart na din ako mag diet. hehe Dapat daw pagbalik ko after a month 2kls lang ang weight gain ko para iwas complications daw.  Yung heartbeat ni baby malakas pa din, nakakatuwa talaga 

[ferrerorocher]

Hii mommies! Preggy here also. I’m on my 30th week na with my first baby.
So far my OB said everthing’s normal naman daw.
How much ang quote sa inyo? Anyone here giving birth at UST? 
Up to now, wala pa akong nabibili kahit isang gamit.
Panay bigay lang.  Ano ba ang kailangan kong i-prioritize?
Thanks!

[crzysxycl]

macheoc - true sis, haha ramdam ko rin yung sa butt. blessed pa rin talaga tayo kasi yung iba mas mahirap ang nararamdaman. konting tiis nalang din naman hehe. thanks sis, sana nga talaga hindi maging problem myomas ko.

belle - nice to know sis, sana nga hindi maging hindrance cysts natin. ako naman dito ako praning, kasi i have 4 then isa dun ang pwede maging hindrance based on my utz nung 18 weeks palang si baby. pero nirerelax ko muna sarili ko tutal sabi ni OB i'll have another utz on my 36th week para macheck uli myomas ko. kung makita man uli na talagang magiging obstruction sya, isched na ako for CS. need din kasi makita exact location kasi pag CS baka tamaan ng hiwa. ang sarap naman mag shopping sis ng 40-50% off. sis, may symphisis pubis dysfunction ka rin? ano ginawa mo sis para malessen yung pain? ito kasi prob ko ngayon. nattrigger sya when i lie on my lift side. sigurado pag tumayo ako ang sakit ng groin ko pati sa may pempem nga. dati sa left lang pero ngayon pati right na rin, parang naghihiwalay ang pelvic bones..

which is witch - oo nga sis parang kelan lang. konting konting kembot nalang pala sis you'll give birth na, so exciting! ako rin pinapag hinay ng kilos ni doc, mahirap na mapaaga. nabili na rin namin lahat ng gamit ni baby pati mga kakailanganin ko sa hospital like yung maternity pads, underpads, adult diapers, etc. mahal kasi pag sa hospital pa ito binili, sayang din matitipid hehe. meron pa pala ako like bilhin, yung nursing cover, baka online nalang kasi tamad na rin ako mag mall dahil bilis bilis ko mapagod. tc sis!

loidyloids - ako naman sis 77 kgs na haha. nice to know baby is healthy.

ferrerorocher - hi sis. kami inuna namn yung clothes ni baby tapos other essentials like bottles. last namin binili yung medyo malalaki like crib/playpen, bath tub, etc.
