A Glimpse of What's In My Womb

And here's the first glimpse of what's inside my womb, our baby girl - the greatest gift we've ever received.

The ultrasound and scanning was done at In My Womb Mall of Asia - Pearl package. It consists of 5 colored printed pictures of the baby and 5 black and white (film). There is also a cd of still pictures. The price is worth it. I was 6 months pregnant here. See more details of In My Womb here.

We're Having A Girl!

Finally, after 6 months of waiting, our baby revealed her gender. On 11th day of December 2011, my 24th week and 5/7 days, I had my 3D ultrasound at In My Womb located in SM Mall of Asia. It's a Pearl package which includes 15 colored pictures of your baby and a CD of still pictures. The procedure lasted for an hour as our baby was covering her face when we were doing the scanning. I am happy seeing her touched and covered her face, but baby, please show us your beauty next time I have my scan ha? In My Womb by the way is offering a 4 time repeated scan if the baby does not cooperate. So since I am not satisfied yet, I will go back for re-scanning on Friday 16th of December.

And here's the 2D picture of our baby's gender. It will be hard for you to recognize because it's black and white, but the two arrows are pointing to the female gender part which is lavia.

Our baby girl - barely three months and we can see you na! We love you so much.

We'll Be Having a Girl!!!

People around me say I will be having a girl :) they predict based on my outlook and appearance haha. Hmmm.... And because I am too excited to know our baby's gender, I searched on pregnancy tool to predict what the gender of our baby will be. And I found one that really says I will be having a girl, it's from babycenter.com - a Chinese Gender Predictor. See it below :)

If you are pregnant and would like to predict the gender of your baby, just hover over the picture and click on it, it will lead you to the babycenter chinese gender predictor. What are the steps? Step 1, you have to tick your conception date or due date and the tool will automatically calculate the Chinese lunar month in which you got pregnant. Step 2, enter your birth date and it automatically calculates your Chinese lunar age the time you conceived  and hit Calculate. My result; I conceived on November and my Chinese lunar age at pregnancy is 32 (hmmm too old for my current age).

Let us see if this is correct, if we really be having a girl through ultrasound. Let's see if their prediction is correct. But it doesn't matter, boy or girl - we are really proud and happy that we will be having one. We're both excited to be parents.

On Being Pregnant - 23rd Week

And so yesterday marked may 23rd week of pregnancy. So many happiness and excitement was felt prior to that. This is really the feeling of being a mom, mixed emotions but excitement and happiness top it all. On my fifth month, I felt our baby move, and now on his/her 23rd week inside, I can feel him/her squirming. I see my tummy move as he/she moves inside me.

A little sacrifice now, I cannot sit with my feet alone, I need to have some chair otherwise, my tummy is pressed. I am also starting to feel the backache, that is why I wanted to lie down to avoid it. But those were nothing, those were just a wee sacrifice compared to other pregnant women who really suffered and felt the sign of pregnancy, especially during the first trimester. I am very lucky for not experiencing them.

I am not big as other pregnant woman, in fact on my 22nd week, I still weighed 110 pounds (50 kgs), same with what was my weight when I was in my 16th week. I eat healthy foods, but I do not eat a lot. I take vitamins as prescribed by my OB.

The only thing that saddened me is having a urinary tract infection (UTI) which according to them, pregnants are really prone to having a UTI. On my last visit last November 24, 2011, my OB prescribed me an anti-biotic to treat it, a cefulex I think to take for a week. twice a day, with 12 hours interval. And my oral taking ended yesterday, I will be having another urinalysis tomorrow to check whether my UTI has gone - and hopefully it's gone, otherwise, treatment continues.

I also had my first anti-tetanu vaccine, I visited our barangay midwife's house (supposedly in a helath center but it was Saturday) and she had me vaccinated by a tetanus toxoid. Next injection will be a month after - I am planning to go back on December 23, 2011.

Until now, I have no clue what our baby's gender is. All of them are telling me that I will be having a girl. I also checked the babycenter.com pregnancy tool - and it said, I will be having a girl. Me and my husband wanted to know our baby's gender, and on my return to my OB, I will request an ultrasound referral so we can know by then. December 7 will be my 6th month of pregnancy, konti na lang and our baby will be here. Yipee!!! Love you baby, mama and daddy love you so much!
