Then after intercourse there was a lot of blood, a little like during period. Maybe as bad, not worse than that. No cramping or bleeding before or after. No cramping during. Only the blood. A handful of spots the size of quarters, Two hand rags with dark color blood on them. One the size of a half dollar just a little more red, but that was on a white background so maybe that is why a little bit brighter. No fever. I checked her vital signs... blood pressure, temperature, pulse, respirations all normal. She felt fine. A couple hours later she tried to vomit, only clear. Acidic stomach. Next morning acidic stomach but still no more bleeding. Only blood was right after intercourse. I called the Gyn today, we have appointment Thursday. They only asked if there was cramping, but none. They said bring her to ER if any more blood, but we dont have the money for that. But no more blood. Will be glad to get the prognosis Thursday after the blood tests. I know that the cervix gets engulfed with blood in early pregnancy. I know blood vessels can rupture easily. Am hoping that is all that it is, from irritation. The bleeding to me looked like venous blood, not arterial bleeding. I dont think there were any clots.... not certain, but dont think so. Not wanting to be too detailed here. Just worried, and praying. Still taking vitamins daily. Am trying to keep her eating protein, lean meats. I do all the cooking, so it is my responsibility. I get her warm milk every night to drink so she is getting her dairy products. I try to get her to eat fruits and vegetables, but I see that usually the only way I get her to eat fruit is if it is in yogurt or if I make a mixed fruit salad. Trying to get her to eat spinach, lettuce, broccoli, carrots in vegetable salads. She gets eggs in the morning, so I know those are high in protein. She had miscarriage right after we married, and still nothing that is anything to her that has happened like when she had that miscarriage. Am hoping bleeding without cramping and only after sex and no more right before or any time after is positive. It is really hard to just wait for a doctor visit to find out what is going on.... Brian in Virginia one of the 3 times she bled before this last was also the night of intercourse. So 2 out of 4 times she bled followed intercourse. Little the first 3 times she bled. You should refrain from intercourse from this point onward. Bleeding anytime during pregnancy isn't good. She needs to rest for now, and be seen by an OB ASAP	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-12-01 06:59:00

We are doing our best.. sana wala ng complications. Medyo mahirap for me... miss ko na mga pag-kain sa Pinas. I just got here three months ago then here I am preggy na! So ung adjustment period ko halo halong emotional rollercoaster. hehe. Syempre dahil ung asawa ko di naman nya alam ung feeling ng preggy kahit may 2 adult children na sya... nahihirapan na rin intindihin un mood swings ko. Hehe but he tries. 4 weeks na lang!!!! Grabe!!!! Excited na ko for you!!! AKo napanaginipan ko ung baby ko kagabi. Kamukha ko daw!! Yikes! Gusto ko pa naman tisoy!!! heheehehe. Same here. Got pregnant within a week and a half of arriving here. We had been trying for the past 2 years, but I guess God didn't think it was such a good idea for me to be pregnant 8000 miles away from hubby. He asked his employer to include us in his insurance soon after we were married instead of getting a raise; some foresight on his part so that I was covered from day 1 of the pregnancy. Yup, 4 weeks. And I haven't made an appointment with the pedia yet. I've my pre-natals for my 36th and 37th week, then my pre-op check on my 38th week. Tapos, hiwaan na.	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-28 22:42:00

Monday (23th): I was having a bloody show the whole day and with cramps. Tuesday(24th): schedule for the last prenatal and will be back evening for the induction..waited for the doctor, yet the cramps are getting more intense. By the time doctor came and put on his gloves to check if my dilation improves my water broke and he havet even finish putting his gloves yet..so off to the hospital we go.....I was 3cm still @12nn..1pm and I was 4cm...keeps on going until 12midnight. So they totally discarded the idea of induction since my contractions helped the dilation a looottt...(by the way, the baby pooped so he has to be out soon).Finally, 2 am I asked for epidural, pain was so unbearable and start pushing 4:30 am and he was out 6:59am Wednesday ( 25th). He was 9.13lbs and 22 inches long...AND I AM SO PROUD TO SAY IT WAS A VAGINAL BIRTH! I was soo tore up though but it ws so worth the everything. Congratulations on a job well done!! Thought you'd have given birth over the last couple of days or so. wow...9.13 lbs...parang 2 months na yung baby mo nung lumabas.

OO nga, nag-babasa ako dito ang dami daming mga napapag-daanan test at kung ano ano pa. Ung mga friends ko sa Pinas parang walk in the park lang ang pregnancy. Hehe. Nalurkey ako!!! Ang mahal ng mga lab test dito... eh sa Pinas affordable. Ganito pala dito. Sya nga pala, binigyan ba kayo ng pregnancy journal ng OB nyo? Ung friend ko sa Pinas... binigyan sya ng OB nya. Pero di ko sure kung meron din ditong ganun. How true. Hence the importance of having health insurance. Don't know about a pregnancy journal. Even in Pinas, I was not given one. Pregnancy ain't so bad (save for the expenses) but every pregnancy is different. Mas nahirapan ako this time around. Wouldn't mind having a third, though Hay...can't wait for this one to be over...just 4 more weeks...

Im up and walking around now. So instead of a turkey, we are having a baby for thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to all! Congrats Ria! Pls. post ka ng pix pag my time ka. Take care! Congrats for delivering a healthy baby boy! We're looking forward to see some pics. I just got back from my in-laws to celebrate the Thanksgiving and still had the turkey for lunch today and with take out pa. Pero i might cook tortang talong for dinner, ask ko lang kung bawal ba talagang kumain ng talong ang mga buntis coz I heared that it is a labor inducer. My mom asking me to stop eating eggplant sabi ko hindi naman yan bawal dito alam mo naman sa atin ang daming bawal. Anyway, speaking of epidural di ba mahirap mag push kung naka epidural ka? kasi di mo mararamdaman ang pain eh, feeling ko kasi walang thrill kung di mo mararamdaman kung papalabas na ba ang baby kaya undecided pa kong mag epi. Well I still have 4 months of waiting kaya tignan ko nalang. Ask ko na din kung pano nagkakaron ng discount coupon for infant milk. Received coupons after registering on all the baby formula sites...Gerber and Enfamil...as well as on the sites fo Pampers and Huggies. Got babies r us coupons when I made a registry there, and a $20 gift card from Target.	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-27 17:49:00

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Geez...ako kaya...ilang pounds na si Maizy Two weeks ago, my fundic height was 29cm, "growing nicely" ang comment ng OB. Today, nasa 32cm yata fundic height ko...and i did not reach this size with Alec. Naku po...baka maging 9-pounder ito a...she still has 5 weeks to put on weight, about half a pound a week Hirap maupo sa toilet kasi kelangan straight back. Hirap maupo in general, I guess; it's either straight-back or naka-recline nang kaunti. Putting on sneakers is a chore that requires much effort...lol. I only bought a 36 (or was it 32) piece pack of Pampers Swaddlers Sensitive kasi baka nga malaki si Maizy and will only use these for a short time. Mahal din ang diapers ha kasi minimum amount that you'd be using would be around 8 in a day. Hubby's co-worker is intent on giving us a baby shower and he told her na puro diapers/wipes na lang ang ibigay...and that bumbo seat Nag-uwi na rin sya ng mga pang-dressing for after the CS...pati pang-tanggal ng staples inuwi, just in case para di na kami pumunta sa clinic just for staplewire removal. I went on craigslist tonight...there are people who are willing to give away their coupons for formula...	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-25 22:51:00
Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Drank Anmum, too during my last pregnancy. Tried looking for them on here but a $1.89 gallon of reduced fat milk is just as good as taking $18-20 Anmum plus prenatal vitamins (plus some other calcium/protein/vitamin-rich food). Is a whole lot more practical, too. Came back from my prenatal today. All is fine. I have the next (or should I say the last) three check-ups already scheduled, including a pre-op evaluation. All things are a go for the morning of December 28th All that needs to be finalized is the time which I should receive a call for. Meantime, the earliest the CS can be done would be 10:30am; would need to be at the hospital 3 hours prior Told the OB about the painful contractions and I was told that if it happens again, like 5 in 2 hours, that I am to go to the ER right away. SAid they would not stop the baby from coming but will do the CS instead. Still, hopefully, baby stays at least for the next 2 weeks Went home with pre-op preparations as well as post-op instructions. Am even more excited now	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-25 13:10:00

I just got a pack of Pampers swaddlers sensitive muna...not sure how baby's skin will react kasi. I have a few coupons for pampers and huggies which will expire early next year pa so eto na muna. The contractions come and go, turned bad a couple of nights ago...thought i was going into labor as it was really painful. but i was thinking ayaw ko muna pumunta sa ER kasi baka false labor lang, so i decided to wait and change position (to my left side) despite the pain. I think I fell asleep thru the pain and woke up minutes later with the pain gone.....thankfully. Nope, didnt wake hubby up...pagod e. The last think I would want is for the baby to have to be in the NICU kasi it would be still too early for her to come out.

She also seems to not like it when I mention anything about the baby, such as what is developing today, and about her need for a high protein diet.

Sometimes I have a hard time figuring her out, and dont ever really know what to do other than just avoid saying the things she says "dont talk about" for now.

Don't forget to put some protein in her diet as proteins are building blocks for the baby's tissue formation. She is fortunate to have such a supportive a husband as you. My husband and I invested in baby stuff early, putting them all together over the past months. Getting stuff here and there a little at a time helped with our household budget. Now, everything is basically here...just waiting for the owner to be born.	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-21 18:01:00
Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	QUOTE (Brijo @ Nov 22 2009, 06:37 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, I am excited. First of all, I can already see that coverage by state, when having a financial difficulty such as unemployment, differs state to state. In Virginia, there is virtually no resources available. Medicaid requires that ANY person here, with a few exceptions, from any other country must be here 5 years in order to get any medicaid coverage. It has nothing to do with immigration requirements, only time here. Five years is the rule. Yesterday after taking my wife to work for her part time job at 5AM I came home and got online and searched more, and found a place here called "Abortion Alternatives, Pregnancy Crisis Cener". It is a Christian outreach center. I called their number at 5AM, just in case, and this man answered who was very kind. I went to see him at 11AM. He was an older man. It turns out this agency is also supported by my church! He was able to make arrangements for a FREE sonogram at an OBGYN here, on December 14, around the time when they can really SEE the fetus and the placenta. I am so exvcited... we have an appointment. And it sounds like they have a sliding scale for payment, for follow-up exams, based on employment. And this Christian place will make sure our baby has a car seat and a bed before it is born too. And they have a building FULL of free maternity clothing for my wife too! And much clothing for when the baby is born all the way until it is a toddler. And free toys too! And he already gave me free prenatal vitamins for my wife, and said he has more of that, all she will need, through her pregnancy. The vitamins have 800 mg folic acid. I read that 400 is good for brain development. I am so happy and relieved. Thank GOD for leading me to this man and place. And thank God for you all too. If you all dot mind, I would like to stay around this group to have you all to talk with through this, since I dont really have anyone else to talk to. Thank you... Brian in Virginia God does work in mysterious ways. He would not have given you such a precious gift of life if He thought that you could not see this through. Am glad that things are turning out well for you. 800 mg of folic acid is right about enough. You will have to support her through morning sickness, if any, as that is really unpleasant for her. And, yes, you are free to stay around; I don't see why not Congratulations to you both!	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-21 17:47:00

You are right, Prenatal care is so expensive here we're paying my OB ($580) every visit for a total of ($3000) not included the labs and the hospital bill. My husband has no insurance since i got here coz he is self employed. We are in Central Virginia. I wish you can get another option. First, hi to all the mommies here and future moms and dads too. Wow that's very expensive brettane $580 each visit?! It's very important to have a health Insurance here really... when I gave birth July last year we only paid $125 and that's it as for the check ups, didn't pay anything except for lab test and ultrasounds so good thing were covered... if not I don't know, we could have been in debt...Ugh. Yeah you are right its important to have insurance. You don't realize that its too expensive because you have insurance. We already inquired from the hospital and roughly the charges will be $5000 for the mom and $1000 for the baby but thats only for normal delivery and not including the epidural, its really expensive. It's too late now to get Insurance, but definitely we'll get after I gave birth so the baby will also be covered. Doc's total bills are $3T of which insurance thankfully covered 80%. The remaining 20% we have paid already so that we don't pay anything extra at the doc's office, save for lab procedures of course. CS will cost at least $17.5T, normal delivery at least $12.5T. Baby's fees not included. Again, insurance will cover 80%, but it would still be a big amount. Hopefully mag-offer and insurance ng discount. alam ko kasi may maximum out-of-pocket expenses so maybe our share will be smaller	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2009-11-20 18:05:00

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	oh i think kaya walang bula sa iyo because you use playtex...hehehehehehe... can you tell me ano ba yan and how it works? and magkano rin? kasi baka il try that... well, you basically have the nipples, caps and rings. yung bottle parang tube. the inserts a.k.a. disposable "bottle" are pre-sterilized already. put one in the bottle, put your water and the formula and, voila! cost... http://www.walmart.c...o...21&Find.y=1 Siyempre, ang parent's choice na inserts mas mura Sa ngayon sa sobrang nagworry ako na hindi sapat yung gatas na pinoproduce ko eh gumamit na rin ako ng formula. Sa mga mommies na gumagamit ng SIMILAC ADVANCE, hiyang ba si baby? So far tinatanggap naman ng baby ko kaso yung bowel movement niya eh medyo nabago. Naawa ako sa anak ko kasi nung dumedede pa siya sa akin eh regular yung baowel movement niya. Since binigyan namin siya last night ng formula eh kaisang beses pa alng siya nagpopo today. Nag-aalala na tuloy ako. Mixed naman ginagawa ko kasi may gatas pa naman ako kahit konti kaya ayun pinapadede ko pa rin siya. Anung gagawin ko?Ayaw ko siyang constipate. Sa mga mommies na gumagamit ng similac anu ba ang experience ninyo sa gatas nato? baby formula has the tendency to constipate...	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2010-02-01 07:47:00

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Sabi sa amin mag four months daw kasi that's the time na cover ng 4 to 6 ounces ng warm amniotic fluid ang baby its enough to get the sample for the test, basta ako tiwala nalang ako kay Lord ah di ba day.. pray nalang tayo. I turned 39 a few months before my baby was born. In my 11th week, they did a nuchal translucency ultrasound along with blood tests to screen the baby for developmental defects (i.e. down's syndrome, trisomy 23, etc). we waited anxiously for the results which took a week. took a look at the ultrasound though with the ultrasound doc and he said that everything on the ultrasound looked normal for age. the blood tests also were within normal. still, i was skeptical but did not tell my husband about it. I was skeptical till the day Maizy was born. We were given the option of having an amnio done to confirm but we declined knowing that in a small percentage, it can induce preterm labor or result in bleeding among other things. But we had talked about the possibility that even if the baby had developmental defects, we would still have her and not terminate the pregnancy. Am not getting any younger and we have been trying for 2 years for a child.	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2010-01-31 19:09:00

Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	30 days? Kala ko after na delay ng 1 year do'n na kailangan ang Affidavit of Explanation kasi yon ang nakalagay sa website ng Embassy kung saan under ang Arizona. At parang requirement din ang 4 pcs. original birth cert., mahal pa naman yon, tig $10/piece. Kelan ka mag-submit? Btw, naka-submit ka na ba ng report of marriage? There was a time ginamit ko sa paglinis ng baby ay lukewarm water at wash cloth. Pero di nagtagal kasi tinatamad. Kaya wipes na lang. Matagal din naman maubos. We're using refills kasi mas mura. No'ng maliit pa si Evie mas gusto ko yong snap dahil mas convenient sa pag change ng diaper. pero ngayong malaki na at sobrang likot, yong snaps sa bandang dulo hanggang tyan na-a unsnap lalo na't magising sya at naglilikot, so half naked tuloy. Mas prefer ko ngayon ang zippered. Can't remember na nag flaky scalp nya when she was Maizy's age. Siguro nagbabalat gaya ng skin at mawawala din. Nagka-cradle cap si Evie when she was 3 months no'ng time na gumagrabe eczema nya at na-hospital dahil nagka skin infection. Ang ginawa no'ng nurses sa hospital sa cradle cap nya ay niligo ng aquaphor. Tapos pag bath time nya, gumagamit sila ng suklay na soft ang brush to scrape the scabs. Sobrang effective naman ang aquaphor at nawala lahat. Btw Gracey, di ba white ang baby acne? Kasi no'ng kay Evie red dots din sa pisngi nagsimula. dunno. alec never had it or any rash for that matter. red dot ang simula ng what kay evie?	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2010-01-30 19:12:00
Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Nagtataka ako lately kasi yung baby ko eh panay na ang dede niya sa akin. Para bang gutom siya palagi. Nung umuwi kami galing sa ospital eh nararanasan ko yung pagiging puno ng "dede" ko..LOL at ang sakit ha pero lately hindi ko na nararamdaman yun. Do you think mga mommies I am producing enough milk for my baby? Worried lang ako feeling ko parang hindi siya satisfied..Hay..Pero regular nalang yung pagpoop at pag-ihi niya. Kailangan ko bang magsupplement aside sa breastmilk kasi I'm worried na talaga na baka ginugutom ko na anak ko..wwwwwaaaaahhh!..Do I need to call her pedia about this? or pwede na kaming bumili nalang agad ng gatas as supplement sa kanya. Ang sabi nung nurse sa ospital na the more magpadede ka, the more milk ang lalabas sayo pero bat ganun, ang baby ko eh maya't may na kung humingi. Naexperience niyo ba to mga mommies? Ganun din si Maizy. Yesterday, we were at the lactation consultant's office and wineigh si Maizy tapos pina breastfeed sa akin then wineigh sya ulit and she gained 2 oz after feeding from one breast. So i guess she is getting enough. I don't feel the heaviness sa breasts kasi panay dede ni maizy sa akin. When i try to pump in between pag tulog sya, i don't get much, but then again, mas efficient pag baby ang nag-"pump" with her feeding. The nurse at the hospital is right...the more you breastfeed, the more milk you'll make. you need to drink more fluids, though, and eat more nutritious food. Maizy feeds siguro every 1.5-2 hours pag gising. At night, pag sobrang antok talaga ko, I give formula tapos yung next feeding nya fter that sa akin...tinatabi ko para makatulog ako habang pinapadede ko from my own supply	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2010-01-30 18:31:00
Philippines	All pregnant Mommies	Shiela - Never too late para h'wag gumamit ng tap water. Ok kung pinapakulo. Pwede bili ka na lang rin ng purified/distilled Pink - Di ako nag-sterilize ng feeding bottles that often. I just make sure na mainit na tubig ginagamit ko pag-hinuhugasan. Last time ko nag-sterilize was 2 months ago Ang laki na ni Zach, ano? SUper bilis talaga ang growth ng mga babies, nakakaaliw! Musta na pala kidney nya? RR - Galing mo namna sa pagtitipid. Naku pag magpopo si Evie lalo na't marami, dami ding wipes nagagamit. How about si Tyree? Pwede din lang naman talaga tubig lang gamitin. Sa atin sa Pinas wala namang wipes For convenience lang talaga ang wipes. Buti naman di mo nilalagyan ng itch cream si Tyree kung hindi kinakailangan. Si Evie ganon din ginawa ko. Sinisiguro lang namin na after bath at before bedtime papaliguan namin sya ng petroleum jelly at aquaphor naman sa mukha para ma-moisturize skin nya. Daming buhok si Tyree! Just wondering kung malalagas din yon kagaya ng sa anak namin. Kasi no'ng pinanganak sya makapal din ang buhok pero unti-unting numinipis. Been 2 weeks ago ng na notice namin na nagsimula na namang kumapal buhok nya. About naman mga Mommies sa bottle warmer, meron kami yong Munchkin na brand pero di masyadong nagagamit para initin gatas ng baby. Mas nagagamit sya sa pag-sterilize ng pacifier kasin instead na hugasan lang pacifier, ini-sterilize ko araw2x. Btw, ano pa gamit nyo na sleepers ng baby, yong may snap or yong zippered? i recall nung inaalagaan ko yung pamangkin ko (he is now 23 years old), cotton balls at tubig ang pinanglilinis sa kanya Kay Alec, ganun di ginamit ko. Now, since mura dito ang wipes (parent's choice and sam's club's huggies are the cheapest by far), puro wipes. We found a couple of wipe warmers sa Goodwill store so that di mabigla yung pwet ni Maizy sa lamig ng wipes...lalo't below freezing dito during most of the daytime. One in our bedroom for nightime changes and another downstairs for daytime changes siguro, twice a week ako mag-wash and sterilize ng bottles since about 3 a day lang ang nagagamit, e she has about or 8 or 9 yata. I use a steam sterilizer...4 mins in the microwave. Tapos nagbilin ako ng plastic tongs/bottle holders sa mom ko kasi wala talaga ako makita dito. sleepers...i have both the snap-type and the zippered. mas gusto ni hubby yung zippered kasi mas madaling palitan ng diaper kesa sa snap. Ako, walang preference. i noted some "rashes" on maizy's cheeks...they look like red dots. Am thinking this is what they call "baby acne" from mommy's hormones still. hindi naman sya naiirita with the rashes...actually, ako yung naiirita, and i have not really put anything on them. i did ask hubby to bring home the lowest strength of hydrocortisone. Question: did your baby's scalp flake? si maizy kasi, yun ang napansin ko na parang nag-dry scalp nya or baka ito pa rin yung nag-babalat like her skin did? Switched her from J and J na head-to-toe wash to Aveeno and I don't wash her head everyday kasi baka lalo mag-dry. She got some seborrheic dermatitis/cradle cap on her eyebrows which i oil everyday to remove the flakes.	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2010-01-30 18:24:00

Fits all sizes of bottles and fits baby food jars, too! i don't use it much, only when warming milk that was stored in the ref. it's quite good; a couple minutes warm na yung milk (of course, the bigger the bottle, the longer the time but few mins lang din) otherwise, i don't really heat bottles kasi room temp yung water na nilalagay and i breastfeed. how many oz does maizy take? i don't know kasi nga deretso from the breast sya umiinom. the formula, 9-10 oz in a day, more pag nasa labas kami...am just not comfortable breastfeeding in public. eto sya right now...kagigicing lang kanina, eto at nakatulog --- nalasing sa breastmilk	ryandgracey	Female	Philippines	2010-01-30 10:44:00
