Babies due on Third Quarter 2017 (JULY, AUGUST, SEPTEMBER)

[dewb]

Hello sis gquind_rn, kaw ata ang mauuna sa batch natin. required ba yung GBS? paranh wala kasi nabanggit yung OB ko sakin na ganon.
ako din pagising gising, usually para magwiwi or mapalit ng position sa pagkakahiga.
Nag leg cramps pala ako the other night. Grabe sobrang sakit! parang abot pwet yung sakit. Nag leg cramps din ba kayo?

[gquind_rn]

@sis dewb, alam.ko sis may ka batch tayo na 39 weeks na few weeks ago eh. baka nanganak na yun at busy na sa pag aalaga. Tsaka si sis dandelion 4cm na.
 Nabasa ko GBS is part of routine things to check on the last trimester. pero depende siguro sa ob if ipapagawa or hindi. Ob ko lang lahat ng standard test pinapagawa nya. Although diko maalala na may hiv test na pinagawa sakin.
Yes nag ka cramps din ako pero naagapan ko bago gumapang pataas.

Hi mga mommies. Yes i think sa iron nga na tinatake ko kaya black stools. Thank u!

 One more thing sumsakit ang puson area ko, undescribable feeling tuwing gumagalaw ako esp pag sumaside view sa higa, pati na din ang pelvic floor muscles ko huhuhu hirap mag lakad as in. Normal lang ba to? 30 weeks na ako mga sis. Hehe bumibigat lang ba si baby? Nakakatakot kasi baka masyado siyang bumababa that will cause preterm labor (nerbyosang 1st time mom hehe)

Feeling ko ako last manganak sa thread na to! Lapit na due dates ninyo. Ako end of September pa. Hehe! Hopefully you can still post here after the baby comes out and share your labor and birthing experiences.  Last night nanaginip ako na I was in labor na daw. Suddenly I felt nervous!

Hindi pa rin ako nakapagshopping for baby's stuff, although young tita ko dami nang naibigay na new baby clothes. Masyado siyang excited.  Unfortunately the ones she bought medyo malaki ang sizes yung pang 3 months up. So I'm gonna have to a buy a few newborn sizes, although I don't want to spend a lot on clothes cause as far as I know ang dali lumaki ng bata kaya go easy on buying clothes lang.

Anyway, may God bless us all with safe delivery and healthy babies!

ako naman mga sis naagapan ko din bago mag leg cramps, once naranasan ko sya ang sakit nya as in kaya ayoko na maulit. Minsan pagising gising din ako in the middle of the night to wiwi or di makatulog pero minsan maayos pa naman tulog ko. Dumaan ako sa mommy mundo kanina and bought manual breast pump ng hakaa at iba pang kelangan at kulang dahil sale din kanina sa baby company, thankful na kinaya ko lahat asikasuhin kasi ayoko na mag mall after this, hirap na talaga ako maglakad, gusto ko malapit lang lalakaran. Gusto ko sana august ako manganak kaya lagi ko kinakausap si baby na wag kami excited parehas kahit 1st week para sakto 39 weeks na ako nun.

[gquind_rn]

@prettylove, sis madami ba mura sa babycompany sale and mommy mundo? Kanina ako lang patient ng ob ko so maaga kame natapos sabi ko ke hubby punta kame trinoma kase sale ng pambabies. Pero nung nasa daan na sabi ko uwi na tayo haha. Di ko pala kaya. Sakit ng pwet ko kahit sandali nakaupo and singit ko pag nagwowalk kahit sandali till now masakit pa din. So bukas we'll see if bigla magka energy. May haakaa din ako pero imitation haha yung china brand lang. Plan ko lang gamitin pansalo ng leaking milk. 7 mos palang kinumpleto ko na lahat kase alam ko wala na ko energy pag ganto na mahigit 30 weeks na.
Sabi ni ob mababa na dsw tyan ko kaya hirap na ko maglakad. Feel ko mukha ngang mababa pero feel ko mataas pa sya kase hirap pa din ako huminga eh sabi pag nag lightening gagaan paghinga. Super likot na. Pero oks lang kesa hindi nakakapraning na naman. Yun nga lang mas madalas na din contraction. Tsaka yung pag galaw masakit sakit din ah. Ramdam na ramdam ko mga buto nya .

[prettylove]

@gquind_rn, Marami din naka sale sis lalo na kahapon kasi aside from the discounts on top pa ang 10% kapag may sm advantage card. Sa mommy mundo naman madami din kaso di ako masyado nakapag libot na kasi napagod na ako sa sm north pa lang. kapag malapit na ata malikot talaga ang baby sa loob kasi nasisikipan na sila at korek sis ramdam na talaga mga buto. Happiest feeling kapag nararamdaman natin sila 🤗🤗

[gquind_rn]

I got the result of my CBC and GBS. GBS is negative, thank God. Kaso the rbc count in my CBC isn't so good. Ambaba ng sakin. Below the range. That must probably the reason why I feel so tired all the time. Sometimes 2x a day ako nagtetake ng iron supplement plus iron pa from the multivitamins plus sa food pa na kinakain natin so andami na pero nagkaganun pa din. So i did a research, dapat pala di sya sinasabay sa calcium supplement kase di sya naaabsorb mabuti. Eh sabay ko pa naman iniinom yung 2. Nagnenegate lang pala sayang inom ko. Tsaka iron is better absorbed with vit c. I forgot all those basic things i learned decades ago. So ngayon ganun na gagawin ko sasabay ko iron sa vit c. Niresetahan din ako yesterday bec of cough and colds. 500mg 2x a day. May lagundi syrup or capsule din for my cough. Sinupret for colds.
Also now I realized why sis rein was given b complex aside from folic acid by her ob. Para maprevent din anemia. Some causes of anemia din pala is lack of folic and b12.

Ano ginawa nio para agapan ang leg cramps? Sabi nila ibend yung toes towards you. Kaso mag isa ako sa room nong ng cramps ako. Kaya sinandal ko nlng sa wall and don ko binend (hindi ko kung tama ba yung description ng ginawa ko. Hahah) 

Ako sa baby stuff nman, i only got the basics for new born. Parang 4 pairs lang ng pajamas and sideties, 3 pairs ng mittens and booties, 1 dozen ng lampin, and bibs. 3 receiving blankets. Then yung ibang damit pang 3-6months na mga onesies. Minsan feeling ko kulang pa at gusto ko pa dagdagan pero sabi nga nila mabilis nman lumaki ang mga babies.

[gquind_rn]

@sis dewb, oo sis ganun bend towards you. Mararamdaman mo kase magkacramps na kaya bend mo na agad till mag subside. Ilang beses ko din inuukit [textspeak!] minsan pagkabitaw ko cramps ulit.
Sa clothes naman na experience ko sa eldest ko masyado malaki yung 3 to 6 months na clothes. Maliit ko naman kase sya pinanganak non. So what I did now is buy enough clothes for at least a week use. Sa newborn size 3 pcs ng tiesides na short, long, and sleeveless binili ko tsaka 3 pcs pajama. Sa sm [textspeak!] wala nman tlaga nb size. 0 to 3 months size nila. Then pang nb na 2 sets lang. The rest 0 to 3 months clothes na onesies, some overalls. Kasama na jan pamvisit kay pedia.  Kulang ako mittens. 1 set lang nabili ko. If makakamall pa I might buy 3 more or 2.

[dewb]

Sabi ko nga din sa mom ko pag si baby maliit lagot kami kasi yung mga sideties na binili namin sa sm medium na. Eh mas ok na daw mg tupi ng damit kesa ipilit na mgkasyahin yung masikip na damit. May point naman din.
How about manas? Namanas ba kayo? Yung paa ko kasi medyo. Pero sabi naman ni ob normal naman daw yun saka ok yung bp ko kaya nothing to worry pero itaas ko nalang daw everytime may chance ako like pag nanonood ng tv, kumakain, or matutulog.

[afea]

Hi mga sis! Who went to Trinoma kanina, Sunday, for the mommymundo expo? I went and okay naman. I saw some stuff na gusto namin ni hubby pero d ko din nabili. Like yung ala-cosleeper na bed. hehe. I went alone kasi kanina, so diko kaya magbitbit mag-isa. Hahaha.

Target ko makabili kanina ng mga baby wipes, laundry wash, more bibs and adult diapers/maternity pads. I got almost all naman, walang maternity pads/adult diapers lang. San kayo bumili ng maternity pads or adult diapers, mga sis? Sa grocery nalang din ba? Ilang pieces ba dapat bilhin?

[prettylove]

@afea, sis i went to trinoma nung saturday, gusto ko pa sana maglibot pero naubos na energy ko sa sm north dahil sale din sa kanila. Too sad lang nagkaroon pala ng fire nung sunday night., i hope walang nasaktan. Nakita ko din ang co sleeper but naisip ko panandalian lang magagamit ni baby ang ganun up to 6mos lang unlike kapag baby beddings set (pillow, 2 bolster and comforter) mas adjustable kahit pwede gamitin ng pang matagalan. Mayernity pads maybe 1 pack bibilhin ko, malapit lang naman sa amin ang bambang kaya pwede bumili kapag nagkulang.

Anyway, ano pala ginagamit nyo pang hugas ng bottles ni baby? Cradle? Enfant? Pigeon? Sayang sale sa mommy mundo naka 25% off cycles and cradles kaso hubby is too tired na din magbuhat kaya let go na lang ulit. Ano din gagamitin nyo na baby wipes? Thanks!

[trumpetclive]

@afea I bought 1 pack of maternity pads sa grocery lang. Hindi ako bumili ng adult diaper kasi baka di magamit, I prefer maternity pads. Tapos bumili din ako ng bed/leak pad sa grocery lang din. Mag lalagay na ko sa bed namin just in case my water bag breaks. Sa mercury nakakita ako mas madaming variety ng adult diapers, maternity pad and bed/leak pad.

@prettylove, i only have pigeon bottle cleaner for now yung nakuha as freebie but I might use human nature's dishwasing liquid or yung baby bottle cleaner nila.

Weekly na ang visit kay OB since 37th week ko na. Nag lose ako ng weight mga 3lbs😟 Nothing to worry about naman daw basta si baby lumalaki. I was given multivitamins. Kayo ba sis, nag gain ba kayo or lose ng weight on your 3rd tri?

[gquind_rn]

@trumpetclive, ako gusto ko mag lose weight haha. Grabe in 2 weeks I gained 5 lbs omg! I think si baby natin will not lose weight even if we do. Nor gain too.much. Sabi sakin ni ob akp daw ang nag gain ng weight last checkup kase sinukat si baby tama lang eh.

I have cradles, pigeon and little tree bottle wash. Sa eldest ko cradles gamit ko subok ko na. Pero this time I want to try something new. Mahal pigeon pero nakabili ako 200ml sa friend ko may nabilhan sya mura. I opened little tree first mabango sya tanggal yung amoy plastic scent ng new bottles.
Sa detergent I mix cycles with either perwol baby or tinytots. Matapang [textspeak!] cycles. Ipupuro ko nalang pag malaki lako na si baby. And there's a review pati na anlakas makakupas nung cycles.

I bought 1 pack of maternity pads. Nakakailang ata naka diaper hehe.

Hi mommies! First time mom here and gave birth last July 8th.

Share ko lang experience ko. I was scheduled for induced (40 weeks) ng July 9th but nung July 8th early AM, di na masyadong magalaw si baby at namumula na buong katawan ko sa manas. Also my BP hits 140/90 which is mataas na para sa akin, lagi kasi akong nasa 110/70. I went to ER that morning. Naging normal na BP ko at okay naman daw heartbeat ni baby. We decided to push through the induced labor since andun na ako sa hospital. We had an ultrasound around 12pm at okay naman lahat ng resultS.

We started 5ml dosage at 3pm. At 5pm, 1cm lang binuka ng cervix ko. I was 1 cm for the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy. Then at 7pm, 2cm pa rin ako. Ginawa nilang 10ml ang dosage but after 8pm, still 2cm. Nag 2mins interval na rin ang contraction ko at that time. My OB asked me if I want to wait or iCS na namin, masyado daw mabagal ang progress ng labor ko dapat nasa 5-6 cm na ako after 5 hrs. I told her to wait another hour, after 9pm still 2cm pa rin ako and nastestress na si baby based sa heartbeat nya sa fetal monitor. My OB asked for my husband (nasa delivery room kasi ako) to discuss CS. We decided to wait another 1 hr pa but still the same.

I was transferred to OR at gising ako while operation. Narinig ko yung sinabi ni OB na kaya daw ayaw lumabas si baby kasi cord coil sya at nakatanga si baby. So habang nagcocontract ako, yung noo nya ang tumatama sa cervix ko kaya di sya bumababa.. this is also one of the reasons kung bakit di na sya masyadong magalaw.

Thankful that baby is a fighter. She protected herself kasi mas nakakatakot kung pinilit namin na mag normal and it can lead to brain damage due to oxygen deprivation.

Mas maganda talaga if you ask your sonologist to always check yung umbilical cord ni baby. Most cord coil cases di nakikita sa ultrasound. We had our ultrasound that 12pm pero walang namention si doc na cord coil si baby.

We just had our 1st check up this morning. She gained half kilo for 1 week. So happy and blessed to finally have a baby after so many years of waiting.

Good luck mga sis!

congratulations @friendlyneighbor! Nakakatuwa naman 😊 Thanks for sharing your story. Masakit ba pag nag induce ng labor?

@gquind_rn nakakaparanoid lang kasi di ko pa na reach yung 25lbs na weight gain tapos nag llose pa ko ng weight. Hinahabol ko ngayon yung weight kaya maya't maya i try to eat something and hindi na ko nagpipigil mag sweets

[afea]

thanks sa replies, sis @trumpetclive and sis @prettylove! onga, I saw sa news nalang about dun sa SM North. I was in Trinoma lang the whole time nung Sunday so didn't know what was happening on the other side of the street.

congratulations sis @friendlyneighbor! and thanks for sharing your story.

about the bottle cleaner, Human Nature din gagamitin namin. sa expo, I saw Cradle nga din dun. May sample sila binigay na maliit lang.

sis @prettylove: meron dun yung parang co-sleeper na puwede ilagay sa bed mismo na adjustable. it can grow with your baby. yun yung nagustuhan ko. and may kulambo na din sya na detachable so can also use for outdoors kung dadalhin sa park ganun. pero couldn't buy it kasi wala magbitbit for me. hahaha.

[Rein2915]

@ sis gquind_rn. Yhup as of now wala pang nauseous feeling or vomitting. Pero pag afternoon para akong laalagnatin pero hindi naman mataas temp ko. Then sleepy i guess that's normal nman. I feel fine pag morning pero pag after lunch na ayon na iba na. Then madali ba kayong lamigin? Madali kasi ako makaramdam lamig ngayon.

Anyways goodluck sa inyo na malapit na due. Praying for your safe delivery. 😊

[gquind_rn]

Congrats @friendly neighbor! Most stories I read about cs ganyan nga daw cord coil.  Kakatakot lang. Buti nalang tapos ka na.
@trumpetclive as long as your baby is thriving nothing to worry. Nagpa biophysical scoring ka na ba? I mean if nirequest ni ob mo. Dun kase makikita if baby is growing as she's supposed to be. Sa 1st kid ko inalis lahat ng bawal para mag grow sya. Ako kase yung tumataba sya hindi. 2.5kg lang sya when I gave birth.  Even soda pinapainom para mag grow. Buti naman nakahabol sya kahit pano. And take this opportunity to eat whatever you like haha.
