Re: Babies due on FIRST QUARTER OF 2017 (JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH)

[Ghean301995]

Hi sis ako din ang due date ko is january 7 2017 39weeks nako now , Pero hindi ko alam kong naglalabor naba ako . Help naman sis. 1st baby ko kasi 21 years old ako

[paulineangelie]

yung akin mahilig pa rin sumiksik sa upper tummy ko which minsan hirap tuloy huminga. as per my last ultrasound, naka breech pa sya though very early pa naman daw pwede pa umikot. im on my 7th month. grabe how time flies.

ask ko lang how many bottles have you prepared esp. those working moms na in the event mag back to work na?
also, nag join ako sa BF pinay sa fb kaso till now di pa naaapprove request ko.

Ako I bought 2 muna from different brands. Di ko rin kasi sure kung magugustuhan ni baby, better na paisa-isa lang muna. Also, sabi ng LATCH sa breastfeeding classes nila, mas okay daw i-cupfeed yung baby pag nag-back to work na si mommy. Less chances of nipple confusion and di sya magiging dependent sa bottle. Medyo nahihirapan lang ako iconvince yung MIL ko na icupfeed si baby, sya kasi magbabantay pag bumalik na ko sa work, kaya bumili na rin ako 2 bottles.

[sarsingkit]

I have a set of 5 bottles. 3 pieces na 4 oz and 2 pieces na 8 oz. Although parang nanghinayang ako kasi I'll be at home for a year naman and I can breastfeed baby by direct latch (I think. Haha). So we'll see. Naisip ko na lang, I'll just give it away kung hindi magagamit. Or I'll give it to my in laws in case they want to babysit.

sis paulineangeline, hirap [textspeak!] ipagkatiwala sag ibang tao ang pag cupfeed kay baby esp. sa yaya in my case if ever. so Ill stick to bottle feeding muna.

sis sarsingkit, magagamit at magagamit mo rin siguro bottles paglaki ni baby. or pag pwede na sya mag water.

nagsisimula pa lang kase ako mamili ng gamit ni baby esp. yung super need gamitin paglabas nya. whew!

Hi Sis, pm mo sakin name mo so we can heads up - as of now kasio 10k ang for approval sa BFP e.

Eto experience ko sa panganay ko. I only have 2 4oz na bottle. na nag last until his 15 month.  After that kasi di na sya umiinom ng expressed milk e. Night shift work ako. Madami ako e storage bottles lang. Mas ok na cup feed si baby kasi iba ang latch ng bottle feed and prone kasi magkaroon ng nipple confusion e. Same kasi ng gamit ng muscle angf cup feeding kesa sa bottle feeding. Prone pa sa ear infection.  Mas mahirap naman na di na sya mag didirect latch.  Check nyo difference, may effort sya sa cup feeding than sa bottle feeding na kusang tumutulo ang milk kahit di sila nagsusuck.

If nagwawater na, no need na thru bottle din yung water via cup na lang sya.  Plan today is icup feed si baby kahit night feedings. Madali lang naman mag cupfeeding. Mas madali pa sila matuto uminom on their own.

This is very true kaya recommended talaga cupfeeding. Ang hirap lang iconvince lalo na yung mga traditional like the lolas na mas okay mag-cupfeed. Para tuloy ayoko na bumalik sa work para ako na lang mag-alaga kay baby.

[raiza0022]

congrats sis bluish_buff

[sarsingkit]

Congrats sis! Nakaka excite naman. I am on my 36th week and have started eating 6 pieces of dried dates. We'll see kung may benefit nga talaga ito. Haha.

[gulaysk]

Congrats on meeting your bundle of joy, bluish_buff!

^sis sarsingkit, I also plan to start eating dates on my 36th week para makatulong sa shorter labor. Sana nga effective!

[bluish_buff]

Thanks sisses!!!
When I went to the hospital ng 8am for check up sana but had contractions the whole night na pero bearable naman kaya lang yun interval is maiksi na. Hindi na rin ako nakatulog nyan kasi on and off yung contraction. I ask my OB kung check up pa rin ba ko or papa admit na. Ayun, admit na raw. Admit ako ng 9am. Upon IE, 4cm na ko. At 3pm, 10cm na. Then gave birth at 3:50pm. Buti na lang di nman mahaba labor ko.

[najine]

Sis sarsingkit, balitaan mo kami if effective ba yung dates. nabasa ko din yan ang want to try come my 36th week. so kung effective. ittry ko.

Congrats sis bluish_buff! pano mo ba ginamit yung eveprim at castor?

[paulineangelie]

Congrats sis! Nakaka excite naman. I am on my 36th week and have started eating 6 pieces of dried dates. We'll see kung may benefit nga talaga ito. Haha.

San po nakakabili ng dried dates? 37 weeks na ko, I hope it's not too late to try haha!

[sarsingkit]

I will let you guys know. Magwork sana. Cross fingers. I am also walking more and more to help me have endurance during labor.

^I live overseas eh pero I think meron naman sa healthy options. Hindi ko lang sure. Dates is high nga lang in sugar and calories so careful lang kung may gestational diabetes.

[annasui]

Sa mga moms na working, when did you have your leave/planning to have it?  On my 35th week na. Planning na mag-rest na from work on the 36th week kase I'm traveling pa from San Pedro to Ayala everyday. This weekend may check-up ako so will request na lang kay OB for a medical certificate para makapag-file ng regular leave. 

[paulineangelie]

^ ako po 37 weeks due on the 27th pero 19 pa start ng ML ko. Pero kasi malapit lang yung office sa bahay at sa OB so di gaanong hassle. Thinking ko kasi para mas mahaba yung time with the baby. Pero in your case, ang layo kasi ng byahe! Pwede na siguro, yun nga lang less yung actual days with the baby unless magpaextend ka ng leave.

[paulineangelie]

Anyway, ayun na nga mga mommies, 37 weeks 5 days na kami today and sobrang sakit na ng lower back ko plus pag nakaupo medyo nagccramps na ko at parang laging feeling ko kelangan ko mag-#2. Nagreresearch ako kung labor signs na ito, meron sabi possible labor na meron naman sabi practice pa lang daw to. Sabi ng OB ko normal naman daw, pero pinagstart na ko mag-evening primrose capsules. Waiting game na lang talaga to! Haha. Kayo kamusta?

[annasui]

Sis paulineangelie nagsabi na ako sa HR namen na file ko sha as regular leave, sabi kasi ng HR namen start daw ang ML ko sa day ng pagka-deliver ko. 

[paulineangelie]

^ Ok na rin yan sis para makapahinga kayo. ako mukang mapapaaga ML ko. Currently having contractions 42 sec in duration and around 8 min apart. Tolerable pa naman yung pain so sabi ng OB ko observe observe daw muna. Whew pray for us ng baby namin po please. Thanks!
