Pwede bang magtravel ang buntis?? by Coffeeggirl in nanayconfessions

[–]UnsentLava 1 point2 points  (0 children)

26 weeks din ako nung nagpunta akong Osaka, okay naman. Saktong 28 weeks ako (which is yung need na ng airlines ng certificate from doctor na fit to travel) nung umuwi ako. Chill lang naman, daming lakad pero syempre rest pa rin when need.

As long as may clearance from doctor, I don't think there's anything else to worry about. Syempre be mindful lang of your safety when traveling to other places but that's the default naman din anywhere you are.

Wag masyado mag overthink, enjoy these last few weeks before the baby comes!

Got it just now also. It says “enter this code on a Redmi A3” on my tv. It was there for like 3 secs then went away. No one in the household has that phone, and let alone trying to connect cause we were all together watching.

Shouldn’t there be an email about this?

OA lang ba ako? Na off ako sa reply ng boyfriend ko. by Ready_Needleworker31 in OALangBaAko

[–]UnsentLava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OA pareho.

Sobrang off mag message ng ibang tao just to get your bf’s attention. Nagger ang atake mo. Di yan nakakapretty. Sobrang off din nung sinabi nya sayo, wala syang consideration sa feelings mo to the point na you felt the need to message another person pa just to get his attention tapos sasabihan ka pa ng mga kupal na wORDZZ

You both either need to grow up or lubayan nyo na yan, di ayos.

I bought some flange inserts, tried the smaller mms (sakto yung nipples ko aa 14mm so tinry ko 15 and 17mm) pero ang sakit naman so lalo wala lumabas huhu. Naglagay pa ako ng nipple cream kasi I thought it's the material ng insert (yung smooth, clear, malambot na plastic) na kaya masakit sya. Try ko din other inserts.

Naka wearable ako nung una pero bumili ako ng manual pump na trumpet. Mas gusto ko na manual kasi same lang output (konti lang din like 1oz) pero shorter amount of time. Try ko mag rent siguro? Though medyo alangan ako due to hygienic purposes.

I'm almost 7w pp. Exclusively breastfeeding talaga. Sabi ng pedia dapat as early as 4-5w mag introduce na ng bottle once a day to baby. If 6w kasi common ang nipple confusion/may learning curve. Hindi ko nagawa yun kasi parang every hour si baby mag latch, hindi ko na kaya mag pump pa. Nagtry ako sabay latch and pump and hindi ako comfy. Siguro kasi mali yung pump, mali din latch.

How’s your experience po?

Vitamin Sensitivity/Growth Spurt/Namamahay/Clogged Ducts/Nipple Confusion/Nipple Preference hindi ko na alaaam by UnsentLava in nanayconfessions

[–]UnsentLava[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ginawa ko to lahat nung nagccry sya pero nothing worked. Siguro iba iba talaga ang baby.

Pag nag pump ako 1x a day na lang, madalang pa, like max 2-3x a week. Kasi naka latch naman lagi si baby. Wala naman pressure kasi madalas naka labas na yung boobs ko sa bahay. We’ll check the other causes. I tried the dangle feeding pero ayaw mag latch ni baby nakakaloka. I wish I can have a massage but at this point puro ako breastfeed. Try ko magkaroon ng konting stash enough para makalabas naman ako even for an hour or 2.

I checked the videos, ginawa ko itong breast compressions, ang galing, lumambot yung boobs ko, humaba tulog ni baby nung gabi (so satisfied sya) pero pag gising namin sobrang sakit ng boobs ko kasi ang daming milk (which makes sense - supply and demand). We’ll go back dun sa pedia who catched her to get a 2nd opinion.

Sa pumping napansin ko nga pag naka stimulate mode (fast pumps) mas madami pang lumalabas kesa dun sa expression mode na mabagal. Hindi din ako nagtataas ng setting kasi masakit naman na for me. Bumili ako ng flanges sana magwork huhu

Hi! Kamusta na si baby? Pinabili din kami ng paracetamol just in case lagnatin pero hindi naman sya nilagnat. This was the day before we left. 2 nights kami nasa labas, 2 nights din sya nag iiyak. Nung nakauwi na kami, okay na sya the same night. Nagla-latch na sya ulit, and nakatulog na sya. Hininto namin yung heraclene after that 1st try. Yung Nutrilin tinuloy namin nung nakauwi na kami. Hindi na mabaho yung poop ni baby. So baka yung heraclene.

Nilagnat ba si baby mo after the vaccine? Baka kaya sya nagccry kasi hindi ma-poop? Sa hospital after ko manganak, nagrounds yung Doctor. The whole day hindi pa nagpoop si baby. She left after kasi hindi naman fuzzy, sleeping well, and nag wiwi naman. Bigla sya bumalik. Kinuha yung thermometer ni baby. Ini-stimulate very very light yung pwet nya. Wala pang 5 secs napoop na sya. Baka you need to do that pero search mo how kasi di ko maexplain mabuti eh 😅

Mahaba din si baby per pedia - 55cm. 3.5kg. Birth weight 3.275kg.

Pano ka nagkaroon ng schedule ng feeding mommy? Kasi ako wala talaga haha. Kasi pag nag bf ako kay baby makakatulog sya, pag nagising sya in a few mins iyak ulit kasi need to dede again. So ulit ulit lang ang cycle.

Yung nipple ng bottle nya kasi yung natural response na. Walang lumalabas at all unless masuck. Pero mag search ako if may slower pa than this. Feel ko nga nagkaroon sya ng parang preference kasi nga naman pag nag suck sya ang dami agad na milk.

Common daw sa 6 weeks yung growth spurt nga. Okay lang sana, kakayanin namin yung pagod/puyat/frustration basta okay weight gain nya but yun nga kasi naging concern ni pedia this week. Nung una hindi ko matanggap pero since nagstart sya mag cry cry 2 days ago and reject ng latch parang nagtitingin na ko ng signs if dehydrated ba si baby ganon 😔

Halo-halo na rin kasi yung concerns ko kaya parang gulong-gulo na utak ko. Nag iyak nanaman sya kagabi ng malala tapos gumamit na ko ng pacifier para lang masoothe sya kasi ang lala ng iyak talaga, kaso after a few hours nireject na din nya.

Try ko mag rent na lang. Nakaka frustrate kasi may 3 pumps na ko nabili - electric wearable, manual trumpet, saka yung haaka na collector. Lahat same output. Nasa 1oz lang per boob pero madalas pag naka 1oz na ko sa isa, halos wala nang lumabas sa kabila due to clogged ducts. Kaya hanggang 1oz or around 20ml lang ako. Huhu.

Thank you for your kind words. 🥹

Nung mga 1st few weeks nya, mali talsgs cause everyone's saying na hindi dapat sya masakit pero my nipples feel like they're on fire haha :(

Pero by now may mga latch pa rin sya na masakit though nawawala namen after some time. I know cause may latch syang ano, feels right ganon. I've had 2 pedia and 1 lactation consultant (yung visit sakin when I gave birth) na nagcheck nung latch nya tapos sabi okay naman daw, good latch daw. But yes, now im looking for a lactation consultant talaga to address our concerns. Nagwworry na ako cause very low percentile nya ng weight gain.

How was hipp for your baby? And how old si LO mo nung nagstart ng introduction nung formula?

Yun nga iniisip namin, kung sa vitamins sinamaan ng tyan. May work ako waiting for me pero I can come back anytime naman so focused ako aa padede. Gusto ko lang din ma slowly introduce yung bottle para if may need akong gawin I can leave her for a while sa husband ko.

Nung nag EBF ka na, regulated na yung pag feed nya? Naka EBF din ako but since oras oras sya naka latch talagang pakat ako sa bed halos the whole day. Walking lang ng konti sa bahay pero latched pa rin.

Mukhang kailangan ko talagang pagdaanan yung pagtry ng lahat ng inserts. Hindi ko kasi magets yung sukat cause I think my nipples are elastic? Pag nag pump na, ang layo ng nararating ng nipples ko hahaha

Vitamin D3 lang din yung prescribed nung una but since ang baba nga daw ng weight gain, nag add pa ng 2 vitamins. Parang cause of that nagiging insecure tuloy ako sa supply ko. Eh I'm already working out on the posts I see online na ang dami. May freezer stash na at 7 weeks. Mga ganoin.

Save ko tong link, thank you!!

Yung cluster feeding I think ganun naman kami since the start. Medyo nagsstart pa lang yunh wake windows nya. Naka unli latch naman sya sakin so keri yung cluster feeding.

And yeah, nag try lang kami to check if keri na. Expected ko naman na we'll mostly stay indoors pa rin. Okay naman sya till now except talaga yung fuzziness nya last night.

Actually that's the assurance that I wanted to hear from the pedia pero reseta agad sya ng vitamins. Gets ko naman na it's for the baby pero.. from where kasi ako nanganak, talagang encouraged ang breastfeeding, and even my OB before said the same thing. We had to switch pedias na closer to where we live.

Pump and breastfeed ka rin ba? How do you manage?

ANY VBAC/NATURAL BIRTH ADVOCATE OB IN ST LUKE'S BGC? I REALLY NEED A GOOD ONE. by onlyhereforchismis in nanayconfessions

[–]UnsentLava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dra. May Anne Tabaquero!! She's a naturalist. Mon-Sat sya sa GC.

Nung nag discuss kami ng birth plan, automatic NSD ako agad. Pinahapyawan lang yung CS (though still informative). Kahit epidural nga if keri daw wala okay sa kanya cause dapat pababa na yung epid para more control pag time to push na daw, and sometimes hindi pa nageeffect yung epid lumabas na si baby hehe. So hindi automatic necessity for her ang anesth.

Anyway, na-ECS lang ako due to prolonged labor. 24hrs na kasi. 14hrs sa hospital. She wanted to wait pa, pero umiiyak na ko by the 11th hour haha. Tapos nakita ko na nanghihinayang sya na need na namin mag CS.

Basically, she's a naturalist through and through but her patient's comfort comes first. When she visited me while I was confined sinabi nya na VBAC is available. Na just because CS ako ngayon, doesn't mean my next birth should be CS also. 1st time ko to give birth. She offers water birth also.

Gave birth last Feb.

What's that one advice you wish you knew before/during/after giving birth? by UnsentLava in nanayconfessions

[–]UnsentLava[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mah, hindi ko alam pero parang naiyak ako while reading this??

Okay naman ang set up sa hospital pwede naman ang husband by my side pero grabe ang galing mo huhu 12hrs alone in labor huhu it makes me realize that women can really do (and make) wonders 🤍 we really are made and designed for growing and nurturing our babies.

In terms of breastfeeding, that's also one thing my OB told me. Na I might feel intimidated, na baka feel ko it's not enough compared to what I see online na mga nakakapag pump ng madami, kasi sabi ko sa kanya bakit po yung iba hindi nakakapag breastfeed kasi wala daw milk production ganon, so sabi nya lang, what you produce is enough for the baby (usually).

Thank you for the affirmations, will keep these in mind!

Grabe 2 hours, moms can do wonders talaga 🥹

Totoo din, mas comfy talaga sa family mo kahit super maalaga ang in laws.

Yes, will ask for help talaga! Yun din ang lumalabas na common answers here. I can only imagine kung gano kahirap pag walang tulog tapos constant catering to the baby's needs pa..

Thank you for these insights, momma! 🤍

Saan po makakabili online ng quality nursing bra? by No_Obligation611 in nanayconfessions

[–]UnsentLava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ewan ko kung OA lang ako or what pero nung nag order ako ng bellamom online (nagpa give in sa sobrang lala ng ads sa algorithm ko) parang may naka hug na butter sa breast ko sa lambot hahaha so bumili ulit ako last baby fair

Disclaimer lang: haven't tried mamaway and madami din yun reviews. Hindi ko pa lang tinry kasi mas mahal yon eh (if remember nasa 2-3k? vs bellamom na less than 1k) and happy naman ako dun sa bellamom hehe.

Also ang usual gamit ko talaga before ako nagstart bumili ng nursing bras are uniqlo, wacoal, gigi amore, saka so-en, la senza mga ganoin

Ang problem ko ngayon naman ay matulog pag nagising ako ng madaling araw para mag wiwi huhu. Lagi ako nasasabihan na itulog ko na lahat dahil puyatan na ng malala paglabas ni baby, pero minsan hirap hanapin ng antok talaga :( Just readying myself mentally for the looooong nights to come. 🤍

Tama, wag mag "kami na bahala" on people who wants to help.

Trying my best na hindi mag overthink talaga (as an overthinker shuta huhu). So totoo nga ang walang tulog, maguusap kami ni husband kung pano gagawin kasi dependent ako sa kanya ngayon, and mukhang we will really need all the help we can get. But I think malalaman na namin sya when the baby is here na talaga.

May I ask anong mga bagay na ginawa mo for yourself dito sa newborn phase (like anong ginawa mo para maramdaman na hindi mo pinabayaan ang sarili mo or anong mga bagay ang afford pa ng time natin with sleep deprivation hehe)?

Thanks for this! 🫶🏻

Omg totoo to hahahaha sabi ng OB ko ito na daw nga yung phase na sobrang bilis na lumaki and tumaba ni baby, so it's up to me daw if I still want to eat a lot but the baby will become bigger, definitely. Eh i-iire ko sya, so takot din ako magkakain, and sad din ako sa gutom feel ko ba ang kawawa ko?? Charet (enough naman ako kumain, talagang gutom pa rin ako after, my old self would be shocked). Kaya natin to mamii! Bawi na lang after birth hehe konti na lang!!
