BABY UPDATE 2: Where’s my baby?

Posted by Rhecel on Jul 16, 2009 in Family | 0 comments

It’s my 6th week (1 month and a half) of sensitive pregnancy. I hope everything will get better after my 1st trimester. I had to go through a trans-V ultrasound a few days ago because I had spotting. The ultrasound is to make sure that my baby is safe after the bleeding. The Sonologist can’t see him/her yet though =( We’re trying again on my 2nd month. Hopefully he/she shows up by then. I want to see even just the tiniest sign of him/her! I just want to be sure that my baby’s still safe inside me. For now, there’s additional medication, and I was required at least 2 weeks of bed rest. I’m glad my bosses are understanding enough to let me take time off work for a while.

The black hole that you see on the ultrasound is a zoomed version of a 1-cm (diameter) sac where my baby is. He/she is still too small at this point. My OB assured me that I should not worry about it being too small, it’s still too early anyway. And I should not worry about anything at all! Physical, mental, and emotional exhaustion affect the baby. The 1st trimester is very important for the baby’s development so I should be really careful. The risk is bigger because I have “low uterus”, which is prone to spontaneous abortion/miscarriage.
By the way, it was my first time to have a trans-V ultrasound (you should get what “V” means!) The gadget looks like a huge electric toothbrush that gets stuck inside you. The insertion was a little uncomfortable, but not painful, but when the Sonologist started moving the gadget inside me, I almost asked her to stop! It was like she’s ripping off my insides. Haha. Oh well, I had to do it for the baby so, there you go. I guess this is the “moms-will-do-ANYTHING-for-their-baby” kind of thing =) I just tried my best to keep my focus and listen to her as she explains what is displayed on the monitor.

I’m having another trans-V in 2 weeks. I’m really looking forward to seeing him/her for the first time. Some friends have been telling me that trans-V ultrasound is not supposed to be painful. Hmm I guess I’ll try a different Sonologist My OB doesn’t mind, she told me I can have the ultrasound anywhere I want. I might try “In My Womb” at Mega. This one’s got good review =)

BABY UPDATE 1: This is it!

Since last week, there are only two things that i want to do: EAT and SLEEP. I can’t sleep anytime I want though, because I have to work. Yung kain ang ‘hataw’ haha. Breakfast-snack-lunch-snack-snack-dinner-snack. Aside from gutom lagi at antok lagi, hilo rin ako lagi, but it’s tolerable (so far). Parking lot to our building’s elevator, sobrang hingal na ako. No morning sickness yet (it’s too early for that, or sana wala talaga akong ganun).

Finally, our little miracle is coming! We were in shock/denial, until my OB confirmed yesterday. I’m having him/her March of 2010! Tentative due date is March 11… 4 days after our 1st wedding anniversary!

Sabi ni jm, excited na daw sya mag 9 months, kung pede lang daw skip na yun 1-8 months. Sabi ko ndi pa ata kami ready mag-alaga ng baby, we need time to prepare. So we decided cge, skip na lang din yung baby stage, sana 29 yrs old na sya paglabas wahaha!

I just remembered how I craved to death last week for sinigang na bangus belly and red ribbon black forest (I didn’t know yet that I was pregnant). Pero coincidence lang cguro, I’m not sure kung totoo na nagcracrave talaga because of pregnancy.

Anyway, I’ll keep on blogging about our baby, as he/she grows inside me. JM and I are so thankful for this blessing
