Pregnancy Update: 34 Weeks

A little update on my pregnancy.

I am now on my 34 weeks and 5 days pregnancy; and this journey is wonderful. I am really really lucky to not have even 1 day of morning sickness. I did feel sobrang pagod, antok and nahirapan akong matulog I think till on my 7th month. Pero nothing really serious. I also experienced heartburn once (na nagising ako sa sobrang sakit and cried after that), was constipated on my first 3 months, and colds and cough on my 7th month. Mejo pasaway pa nga ako dahil nagre-render pa ko ng 4 hours OT kahit more than 6 months na ko. May times pa nga na umuuwi ako ng 12 midnight kahit na ang sabi sakin ni OB eh till 8pm lang daw ako.

Pero thank God, based on our ultrasound yesterday, I think our baby is healthy. She is so malikot, mas malikot kesa mga naunang months. And medyo masakit at ramdam na ramdam ko na bawat galaw nya, kasi malaki na sya.

I also gained a lot of weight; I started at 60 kilos, but now I weigh 73 kilos na, I gained 13 kilos, OMG! Ang swerte ko din kasi I don't experience the swelling and hindi naman ako masyadong nagka-cramps. Hindi rin naman nagmukhang sausage ang mga hands at feet ko. :-)

Wala akong cravings or food aversions on my 1st trimester. Ayoko lang ng luto ko. :-) I have cravings when I enter the third trimester. Sobrang hilig ko sa matamis. I actually did not pass the first glucose test, it was a 50 gram glucose test. Dapat 105 pababa ung normal pero 108 na ko. So the OB advised me to take the 100 gram OGTT. Kakasuka ung orange glucose drink. Buti na lang normal. :-)

Parang kelan lang when we learned that I am pregnant pero ngayon 34 weeks and 5 days na. Due date is almost 6 weeks from today, but baby can be out na by 37 weeks without a problem. Amazing! The little girl inside of me has been quite an athlete lately, lots of moving around, lots of kicking, elbowing, all beautiful reminders that she is inside of me. Tuwang tuwa si Husband whenever he feels our baby's movement.

My things to do pa? Packing our hospital bag. Well I started packing na for our baby; washcloths na lang ang kulang. Then next week on our long long weekend (due to Lenten season) I'll pack for me and my husband. :-)

I'm 35 weeks on Wednesday, and I can't wait to meet our little girl. I am excited, but I'm also starting to feel a little nervous as I get closer to my due date. Nervous about delivery and wondering if the baby is really healthy. My OB told me pa na hindi daw nya ko a-anaesthesia-han so I can really feel the labor pain. Mas tight daw ang bonding with your child pag na-feel mo talaga ang pain. I pray na sana maging okay ang lahat and sana normal ang delivery ko.

3 to 6 weeks pa before our baby arrive. Until then, I want to take it easy and prepare for the big day.

So far so good! :)
