birthing kwento: matagal na paghihintay

September 15 (2 days before dumating si hamey)

LMP: 38 weeks and 5 days
First Ultrasound: 36 weeks and 5 days

Had my check-up. Was 1cm open. Got really excited since malapit na talaga akong manganak. I was told kasi na anytime pwede ng lumabas si bebe. Syempre I still prayed na pagkadating na lang ni hamey. Fear ko talaga is manganak ako ng wala pa si hamey.

September 22, Friday

LMP: 39 weeks and 5 days
First Ultrasound: 37 weeks and 5 days

Still 1cm. Ordered by my OB to have a bio-physical ultrasound. Scheduled it for Monday.

September 25, Monday

LMP: 40 weeks and 1 day
First Ultrasound: 38 weeks and 1 day

Learned that kaya pala d pa din ako nag o-open (ang tagal kasi ng 1cm ko) is because may cord coil. *sniff* My OB assured us na pwede pang matanggal yun and that the baby is doing fine. We never let the grannies know kahit ang kulit kulit na nila bakit ang tagal tagal daw.

September 29, Friday

LMP: 40 weeks and 5 days
First Ultrasound: 38 weeks and 5 days

Still brownout because of Milenyo. Worried since hindi ko nafi-feel masyadong nag move si baby. She's moving pero not as active as before. Called my OB about this. Ang hirap maka contact! Sa loob loob ko, kung kelan pa malapit na kong manganak syaka naman ang hirap ma contat ni dra. Not her fault... walang signal! Finally! was able to talk to her. She instructed me to go to Genesis at Asian and have a Non-Stress Test (for the baby). Ok naman si baby. Funny, nagko-contract na pala ako d ko pa alam. Akala ko sumisiksik lang ang pwet ni baby. *grins* Was IEd ang learned na 2cm open na ko. We were given the option magpa admit na. We decided to wait na lang at home since malapit naman ang bahay namin.

September 30, Saturday

LMP: 40 weeks and 6 days
First Ultrasound: 38 weeks and 6 days

D pa din ako nanganganak. Went to OB's clinic and had my weekly check-up. Still 2 cm. OB gave us the option magpa induce that day. We decided na hintayin na lang pero I told my OB na ayaw ko ng lumagpas ng October 8. Pag hindi pa daw ako nanganganak by Thursday, October 5, induce na ko.

birthing kwento: pagbubuntis

January 2006 Hamey decided to have a 3week VL in February para makapahinga from work stress and planned an advance summer vacation at Pearl Farm in Davao. At this point, I also decided to see my OB again for another round of meds. Ready na ulit ako. I was waiting for my period bago ako bumalik sa OB.

End of January wala pa din akong dalaw pero hindi ko pa binibigyan pansin yun. I said to myself, intayin ko ang 45th day since nung dalaga ako pinaka matagal kong span is 45 days bago ulit magkaron. Had my last period nung December 18. I was also tempted to take the home pregnancy test (HPT) since may plan nga kaming magbakasyon and we plan to buy the tix January 31 since tataas ang tax by February 1. Pero pinigilan ko pa din ang sarili ko kasi natatakot akong makakuha ng negative result... again.

February

February 2, 5am. Decided to take the HPT. Naisip ko, if negative, may another problem nanaman ata akong haharapin down there. Might as well check this before going to the doctor para naman hindi na sa clinic gawin. Damn! Sana may nag video ng reaction ko when I saw at once the two lines! Nagising ako ng todo! D ako makapaniwala! Dati, I have to wait pa for the second line to appear (which never really happened). Ngayon, ganun ganun na lang. No more in-a-matter-of-minute waiting! My reaction? Nanlambot ako sa tuwa... I immediately woke hamey and showed him the test thru my cellphone light. HAHAHA!!! Mas funny ang reaction nya. Ano daw yun, thermometer? mwehehehe... sabi ko... I'm preggy! Nakaka inis lang reaction nya kasi parang ayaw nyang maniwala. We decided not to tell anybody yet hanggang hindi pa confirmed. Tamang tama, in 2 days may clinic doctor ko and pupunta kami para pa check.

That day, hindi ako nakatiis. I had two stocks of HPT. So nung 8am, nag test ulit ako. Hehe, syempre same pa din ang result. I remembered na matagal ko ng stock itong dalawang HTP ko so I asked hamey to buy one. Convinced na ko na hindi na talaga magbabago ang result. *grins*

What happened to our planned vacation? We bought the tix on January 31 and returned it on February 5. Dami kasing kontra bulate. *grins*

Birthing Kwento: Panimula

Halos dalawang taon mula ng kami ay makasal ng malaman naming ako ay nagdadalang tao.

Siyet... bakit ang lalim ng kwento? HAHAHA!!!

Before pa ko ikasal may mga "abnormalities" na ko sa matres. Retroverted Uterus, Adenomyosis at one week before ako ikasal e na diagnose na may PCOS ako. Ang saya-saya diba? Pero d ko gaanong inisip na matatagalan palang talaga bago ako... kami mag ka baby.

For one year paputol putol treatment ko. I think mga June 2005 ako nag start ng treatment for PCOS. September hinang hina na ko sa kaka take ng meds. Learned that tumaas din ang sugar level ko and dapat kong pababain bago ako mag buntis. I gave up! Gave up sa mga meds, pag punta ng doctor at bahagyang naligaw ng landas. Yup, nawalan ng faith.

One month passed, wala pa din pero I realized na may iba pang blessings from Him. so yun muna ang pinagka abalahan ko. Yes, I learned to let go and let God.

December 2005, grocery time. Wala akong mahagilap na Whisper with wings slim! hahaha!!! naubos na kasi ang stock ko e. Sige, fine... check ko na lang sa ibang araw.

January 2006, napadaan ako sa grocery. Wala talagang slim Whisper with wings. Hmp! Sige na nga, Regular na lang bilhin ko kesa wala!

It's a sign na pala...
